[Q] Google Play Services force close and fix - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My international galaxy S3 is running on ArhciDroid 3.0.2 which is an amazing ROM. However, since the update of the Google Play Service it keeps force closing every 5 seconds, which is just really annoying. A fix is to put the location on device only, but this doesn't work for me: I also want to use networks etc.
A permanent fix is this one: https://twitter.com/arter97_dev/status/603495555734503424?s=09 Replacing libjavacore.so with another version. (Also successful on Nexus 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...lay-services-force-close-temp-t3115077/page13)
The first time I tried this I used ES File Explorer and when replacing it the phone rebooted immediately, but was stuck on bootlogo. Then I tried Total Commander: replace ok, and no more FC, however after reboot stuck on boot logo.
Then tried again with ES File Explorer: renaming old file, copying new file, setting all permissions, removing old file. This gave errors, until I cleared the cache of Google Play Service. No more errors, everything worked as it should. However, after reboot stuck again.
So apparently in my case the fix works, but doesn't last after reboot. Anybody knows what happens/can help me out?

android.process.media stopped

I started with a new g tablet when I turned it on it wanted to do a update. I did not do the update from viewsonic. Then I loaded cwmod then then VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed.zip. All went well start unit and I was able to goto and download from the market with no issues even downloade new flash from the market and worked very well. When I was useing it the market started to force shut down when I went to install app. it progessed to do force shutdowns.
So I did the proper sd partions reinstall vegan still same cant even get passed the google sign in in the begining. I then downloaded and load the tablet back to stock with cwmod when in the stock mode I did get force shutdown when I would mount the usb but that was the only time. Now I started over with cwmod then vegan still samething. Any thoughts would be great thanks.
update
I did some more reading and decided to do the fix priorites it seams to work so I did the google market fix deleating in maret and google then got the error rebooted now google market dose not open . I will have to do some reading on this. Any pointers
try this Settings>Applications>Manage>All> find Media Storage and then Clear Data... and reboot
update . So far so good I did a total restore useing NVFlash. Then when it booted up it wanted to do a ota update so I let it do it this time. I then reload vegan with all the clockworks then wiped data, cahe and fix priorites.
this works for me...happens once in a while...i'm surprised its not known more widely..many people seem to do a complete wipe to get ride of it
from another post:
I noticed at least two people in this thread have had this problem. The following worked for me... At one point I started getting this error also. Driving me crazy! Could not bring up the keyboard, and the message would pop like every 5 seconds. I searched and found this post (thanks and credit to KinkyMunkey):
process com.android.acore FC and how i fixed it
I didn't want to wipe data, so I tried it. I couldn't use ES File Explorer for this, but Root Explorer worked great!
The problem is a corrupt contacts sqlite database. As the referenced post says, you'll be able to tell if thats the problem when there is a .db-journal file in the folder. The folder is /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ *Note* this is not the data folder in sdcard, but the data folder in root (/).
Just delete the databases folder in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts and restart. The contacts database will be rebuilt and re-synced.
This has worked for me twice (thank goodness). I don't know what causes the contacts DB to get messed up... it wasn't a drained battery for me.

Worked great! Thanks!
thanks gpzjack
It was a different database file for me but it solved it. The only thing is that a week later it happened again. This seems to fix it. But does anyone know the cause of the corruped database so we can stop it from happening?

[Q] In desperate need of help!

So I totally jacked up my phone and I don't know what else to do. I have the Galaxy S3 tmobile (sgh-t999). I had rooted it over a year ago and everything was fine until today. I had used Odin and set up the clockworkmod... rom... thing. Of course now I doubt I even did that correctly, maybe I'm just in over my head...anywho...
I was trying to transfer some files from my pc to the phone. (kies air never worked for me) Well, I had plugged in my phone and in windows explorer it showed something along the lines of 'samsung mtp phone' when I opened it up only 2 folders showed... media and data. The data folder looked like the list of files/folders I would see when I'm in the file manager on the phone but everything listed were showing ad unknown file types. No option to open anything up. The media folder was the same but only listed my pictures and music.
Well, i had rebooted phone and computer, reinstalled usb drivers, same result. So I guessed that maybe my rom version was outdated or something. No luck on figuring out how to update, so I had the briliant (sarcasm) idea to try a different rom. Long story short on that mess, the new rom didn't improve anything with help of transferring files from pc. Then I decided maybe factory reset would fix the issue.
Here comes more ignorance on my part, apparently the new mod I put in was removed but the original stayed. Fine whatever. Here's where my phone it jacked up...
First off, I don't have my notification bar (I've checked in every setting menu, no avail)
I am also missing my web browser (tried downloading from play store which leads to next issue)
I cannot download anything from the play store, I click on install and nothing happens, no error message, nothing (I had attempted to download the .apk file for google chrome and move it onto my phone via memory card but when I click on it to install it says 'unable to find application to perform this action')
Now trust me, I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, app permissions, force stop, uninstall updates and I've done a factory reset 5 times. I apologize for the long post, but I just want to give all the info I can and hope to no end that I can get my phone functional again. What else can I do??
wow such a long letter
ok let me think about it
and tell about it soon as possible
Update....
I got the idea to flash the stock rom back onto the phone. After I flashed it and did another factory reset, I have been able to get my phone functional again. Everything is working fine. Even the phone doesn't know it had been rooted. Currently I am getting everything updated while it is still stock, I'll then just root it to get rid of the bloatware... no more tinkering.

LG E615f - Phone can't save new information

Hello Everyone!
I need some help with my phone, I'll be thankfully if some of you could help me finding out the solution of the problem.
It's a LG l5 E615f Dual Chip
No matter what I do, every time I reboot the phone, all kind of changes I do it's restored to the day the problem has started (6 july). Even deleted photos comes back, and I'm not talking about the MiniSD Card, its the internal memory, configurations changed, accounts deleted, apps deleted, even the ROOT I've tried to do gets undone when rebooted.
*NOTE: I just tried to ROOT because the problem, I've never rooted before that thing happens.
And I believe that's causing some kind of instability in the phone. It also randomly gives me the following errors:
-"unfortunately, Internet has stopped"
-"google play services has stopped"
-"google play store has stopped"
-"Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped"
-"unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
The frequency is about 8 seconds.
And also reboots randomly.
When I try t run an app like outlook, facebook or whatsapp for example it crashes.
The frequency of error messages, reboots and crashes makes the device completely useless...
Things I've already tried:
- Hard and Soft Reset (Soft Reset simply doesn't work, and Hard reset I get the android robot screen, but after reboot everything keeps the same)
- Rooted the phone (after a lot of failures, one succeed, after opening the KINGO Root the app crashed and the phone rebooted and the ROOT were undone)
- LG Mobile Support Tool (After update, nothing happens, everything keeps the same as were before)
- Remove google account and add again
- Delete a lot of apps (I did waste like 1 hour after reboots and crashes and uninstalling various apps, no succeed.
- Update google play services (I used an APK and MiniSD card to do that, receive the message "App not installed.")
- Tried to delete and add files from the PC (Cannot add or delete anything from internal memory, only the miniSD)
That's it, does anybody knows whats happening?
I'm desperate too

MemoryInfo-SwapCheck is not working.

I installed this application for a swap file check. But whenever I open it, it gets stuck on the screen where I can only see: Roehsoft International ©2017.
After some time the whole phone gets stuck there.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application but with the same results.
What should I do?

system/media sneaky kinky behaviour

Hello,
A friend gave me his Lenovo tab 10 X605F tablet that his university gave him.
I plan to root it change the theme, boot animation and return it to him.
But there is a problem: I can't change the startup animation of the university.
Each time I try to change the animation, either manually or with a "bootanimations" application, the system crashes
I tried to trace the problem and I found that the media/system folder can't be touched without the tablet crashing completely, it's like a safety feature, but I don't know how to remove it.
I tried to see if there are any services running in the background that prevent me from removing this application but I couldn't find anything.
Do you have any idea where this come from?
PS:
The tablet is root, has twrp and magisk
