Hu guys,
i was googling for some hours but couldnt find a soltuion to this. Everytime i install ANY app on my new sgs2 and reboot I get the following error message:
The application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I get the message twice and then the bar is gone. When i dont press force close I see the bar just working perfectly in the background.
Only solution is factory reset, but as soon i install apps (no matter which) i start getting the same problems.
Thinking of returning the phone

Can you post what's in the 'About Phone's screen, what network you're using and where you bought your phone.

Try a reflash as i only got that problem when i pushed systemui.apk and didnt reboot straight after. Sounds like a corruption somewherw

the problem was when ever i made the inital configuration i ticked the box to sync my google config. my google config was from my old sgs1 which must have corrupted my phone. i reset the phone and unticked the google config option and i dont have the problem anymore.
Ahhh!!! I got the same problem!!! Is there any way to fix this? Anyone?
marcie82, i'm having the same problem and your post was the only post I found that addresses the issue. When you wrote that you've reset your phone, did you mean you reflashed it?
I just got the same phone from amazon.. and it worked fine when i first opened it but then the task bar disappeared..
i reset it back to original factory settings.. it's downloading my old apps now.. i'll keep on debugging this thing until something comes up
A buddy of mine had a similar issue, for him it was com.android.phone that kept randomly crashing, sometimes mid-call and thereby terminating the call.
We tried factory reset and other things as well, nothing helped.
So we ended up re-flashing the FW (he was on KE2 and we flashed a stock KE7), that is now ~2 weeks ago and he never had any crashes anymore since then.
So, long story short, try reflashing (a maybe newer) FW with odin, factory once more (if the ROM doesn't do it while flashing) and see if it gets any better.
Also check the CSC setting, we set it to generic XEU after the flash - use w/e suits your region/FW.
installing applications
i noticed that as soon as i go to google market and click on the 'my apps' button.. it starts downloading all the apps i previously purchased automatically.. is there a way to prevent that from happening?
Settings -> Privacy
"Back uo my data" and "Automatic restore"
untick at least the auto-restore, or the auto-backup too, maybe that helps.
I got both disabled by default (first thing I set after a wipe) and it never tried to restore my apps by itself (yay for AppBackupAndRestore ).
could it be a specific application?
debugging progress: i noticed that it's not installing *any* app that causes this task bar thing disappearing (at least not in my case):
i restored my phone to factory default.. then i disabled my automatic restore and defaults. then i installed only one app from my very long list of apps. (for some reason i had to do it from my 3g connection and not wifi.. but that's a different problem)..
anyways i installed it and it worked just fine! i restarted my phone just to make sure and the task bar is still there!
i'm gonna go through my apps ans install them one by one.. i know it's a painstaking process but hey i gotta give back to the android community

A trick I used in a similar situation was the following :
Use Titanium Backup. U make a backup of the application that has the problem. Then u wipe the data of this application and then u restore the data.
For me that trick miraculoussly solved that problem ...

Had the same problem with not working phone/contacts, freezing like "process com.android.phone - Force Close" etc.
I realized the error happens only after upgrading for example to KG, than after a short period making a backup of the whole system, downgrading to KF, then restoring with Titanium Backup.
It restores the whole system, including settings, and accounts and so on. This might be the problem. It seems nobody realized that the MODEM and PHONE is upgraded too, so there might be some components not compatible with earlier versions.
Solution: restore only user apps & data, not the system settings. Use a separate app for SMS, call logs, contacts or calendar. Do a cache wipe and then a fact reset from MENU+UP+POWER (restore menu), then reinstall your choice of firmware, restore user apps&data with Titanium or anything preferred, then enter/restore everything else manually. No problem when upgrading.
Tested, had 3 sleepless nights, but works for me.
Noob in need of androidized kindle help!
Hey ya'll,
I just rooted and downloaded ics4 onto my kindle. It was working great all day and I used the gba emulator for android and everything.
Now, for some reason I keep getting the error "unfortunately, system UI has stopped working".The tool bar on the bottom of the screen with the home and back buttons aren't even there anymore. I have rebooted and gone into TWRP and done a system reboot and everything yet that keeps happening. Why do you think that is ?
caused by Titanium

I am sure the problem caused by restore system data by Titanium. I have tried four times today. Factory reset and flash and restore. Only when I restore system data caused this problem.
Why resurrect a two year old thread?
For information, restoring apps WILL NOT cause instability......restoring data ESPECIALLY data from system apps WILL.
RULE OF THUMB......
If you are upgrading your android OS (eg...ICS to JB).....
DO NOT restore system app data....ever
For user apps....if the app runs as soon as you open it, you *should* be ok to re-install the data.
If the app requires the downloading of 'additional files' on first run, DO NOT re-install as this data is likely to be OS version specific......
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
Due to an update of an Xposed module, I had badly corrupted my systemui. The phone was totally unusable, and I could only press the OK button notifying the stopped event at startup.
Lucky me, I still had not updated to 4.4.3. Via Skipsoft Android Toolkit I updated to the last Android release, and my systemui got fixed. I did not choose to do a complete wipe, so I actually maintained my previous apps. In relation to root, I did not loose it, but I had to reinstall SuperSU to get the non-official apps working again.
I hope this helps somebody else in my same condition, with no need to do a system wipe!
com.android.systemui stops working when battwry gets less then 16 %
Hi guys ,
Can anyone upload the system ui file for android KitKat?
I tried all things to fix "Unfortunately com.android.system ui. Has stopped working when battery gets lower then 16% so I think I should replace the system ui file from system app folder
Hey everyone, I just had this same problem pop up onto my phone while I was checking my messages. Ive never rooted my Motorola Droid Razr HD and the power button is jammed at the moment as well. Is there a way around this problem or is this phone done for?
Maybe you should try increasing the heapsize in the build.prop file, the no. of notifications in the status bar causes this crash. if you want to know more about the heapsize etc. google for this crash in cyanogenmod fourms.
I have an LG Esteem running Android 2.3.4.
I went to change my ringtone went into settings, ringtones and get
the following message.
The application settings (process.com.android.settings) has stopped
unexpectedly. Please try again.
then force close.
I HAVE SEARCHED this forum for over 3 hours now to find a solution
but, to no avail.
If anyone has had this problem or know how to get it fixed Please Help!
My phone is rooted and I am using Backup Pro to backup all my apps and
data because all I've found is lots of people saying to do a factory reset.
This is not an ideal solution since everything works but, being able to
get into ringtones....even notification work......
Again, if anyone can help me that would be great!

Hi
I recently installed Touchpal Dialer to replace the Android Stock Dialer (Phone). I then used Titanium Backup to uninstall the stock dialer. (I only select Phone and pressed 'Uninstall'). However in the process of uninstall, something crashed (some process stopped working) and I was stuck on Force Close (which repeatedly pops up).
So to return to Android I rebooted. However the phone can no longer detect the the SIM card (and hence the network). I tried to access Settings>Call, but I get the error "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly".
My first thought was to restore Phone using Titanium Backup, but this seemed to be stuck (or at least it was taking excessively long >20min).
Then I reinstalled the rom but that doesn't affect the files required to detect the sim card.
How do I fix this and get my phone to be able to dial again?
Any and all help is much appreciated.

If there was a point in time when everything was working and then one change was made, the stock dialer was removed, then things stopped working, the solution would be to revert back to the working point in time.
Curious, what guide suggested the removal of the stock dialer?
As a side note, before removing files it is always best to either make a complete backup, nandroid, or to at least backup the specific file being removed so it can be quickly and easily replaced.
The main issue here seems to be the removal of the stock dialer. On the technical side of things, the dialer is a very integrated component of Android.
In AOSP, which all ROMs to some degree are based off, the dialer apk file contains not only the dialer but also browsing of contacts and links in on the back end with a few files.
Once you restore the Dialer, I think called phone.apk or something similar, the issues should go away such as FC. If there are issues accessing the SIM card after restoring the previously removed file, off the top of my head, my best guess would be to clear out the settings stored on the data partition. A setting could have been created during the dialer removed state which might prevent the system from restoring proper SIM access.
Hope that adds a bit more detail around the standard process of removing files and making adjustments!
Cheers thanks, much appreciated.
Largely the guide of my ignorance that decided to remove the stock dialer. It's only in the last half hour or so that I've just come by a guide that specifically says to *not* remove the stock dialer. In the first instance I thought it wouldn't be such a big deal as Titanium Backup could always restore it ... in which it turned out it couldn't.
So after all's said and done, is there a way (apart from Ti Backup) to restore just the stock dialer phone.apk (say by download or other)?
Another approach I'm considering is to find a way to flash a custom / stock ROM to fix this. However as my phone is unbranded and on HBOOT 1.49.0018, I'm finding this very difficult with the standard methods posted. On the other hand, ideas are starting to run out and desperation running high!

I have had this happen to me a few times, this mostly happens when you apply a mod/tweak to a rom that is not compatible. Do a wipe and re-flash the rom that you want and it should fix the problem.
Thanks so much for this, that's fixed it.
Re wiping, since you can wipe from the Recovery and installation of the rom wipes before flashing anyway, is it necessary to use a wipe img? If so, what is recommended? (As I'm on HBOOT 1.49, I seem to only be able to run CWM 4.0.1.4 Shooteru Recovery).
ROM not booting
Looks like I've dug myself into another hole again.
The 'Sim Card detection' problem was fixed with a wipe from CWM 4.0.1.4 and flashed with ShaWn3D v1.4 rom. Everything works and I was happy.
But I was keen to try out the LeeDroid rom but the WiFi error keeps recurring despite my attempts with the solutions provided at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248838.
I've tried:
- re-flashing LeeDroid with so many versions of bcm4329.ko I've lost count
- reflashing the kernel with the LeeDroid kernel addet
- re-flashing another rom altogether (King Cobra v1.9) to see if it makes a difference; it doesn't - WiFi persists.
So now I've decided to go back to the ShaWn3D rom but now although the flash is successful, the boot is stuck at the white HTC splash screen.
What have I done wrong?
Hello, i am using NC5 build for a while. It's rooted.
I noticed, after deleting Verizon's bloatware, after every single phone restart my notification panel goes default order, My Files app goes default too (using S5 app) and my widget's Undefieing Demong.apk goes stops working.
So every restart i make, i have to set everything back, install apps again, set witdget again....
Is it possible to fix this problem? I had never had this problem. I would like to fix it without factory reset.
Thanks for replies
P.S in topic' name i made mistake. After restart, not after update

This is the wrong place. You need to post this in the rom thread you are on or the Q and A forum.
Hi Guys
Been having a problem for the last one week. I'm on CM11 snapshot m7. I installed the One plus one theme, which seemed to run very well until my battery drained completely. Now when I boot my phone, it gives me an error message "unfortunately com.android.systemui has stopped working."
I figured it must be a corrupt theme so I just need to uninstall it. But I can't access settings, as even if I hit "OK" on the error message, the msg keeps reappearing, not allowing me to do anything with my phone.
The last solution I have, of course, is to do a factory reset and flash a working ROM. But then I'll lose all my app data. I tried the following solutions, but in vain. Please let me know if you guys can think of anything else, so as to save my app data! My last Titanium backup was a few months ago!
1. Tried to uninstall the app via adb, but my USB debugging is off, adb doesn't detect my device (and I can't access settings to turn it back on)
2. Tried to boot my phone in safe mode and uninstall the app but even in safe mode it shows the same error message and doesn't allow me to do anything.
3. Tried installing the ROM and Gapps hoping it would replace the filed modified by the theme, and my default theme would be back on.
4. Found an apk for the default (holosense) theme, converted it to .zip and tried flashing it through CWM.
5. Tried flashing the apk via sideload in CWM, but again my USB debugging being off, adb did not detect my phone.
When I had my system ui failure, I was still able to open quick settings drawer and access settings through there even though system ui was constantly crashing...

try formatting cache and dalvik and try rebooting
if it doesnt work do a clean wipe and flash your rom it should do the trick
possibly no other go
for preserving your data
do a nandroid backup first and then do a clean wipe
this way you can extract app+data from nandroid via titanium backup later
hope it helps mate
