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've done some searching on Google and didn't find anything helpful yet. I am running a mostly stock (rooted) ED04 w/ OTB 1.6 Kernel.
When I boot up my phone, I get a FC on com.android.mms
When I go into my Messaging and open an existing message it force closes.
This phone is pretty freshly setup. ie: I had a couple text messages on my phone from yesterday. I deleted those with no effect. When I sent a text message to myself (from google voice) and opened it up, I still get the FC on com.android.mms
I booted up into CWR and ran the Fix Permissions. That didn't do any good. I went back to CWR and cleared cache and Dalvik cache. That didn't do any good. Still getting FC. Any advice? I have a logcat of the crash when I try to open the message.
Here is the logcat: http://pastebin.com/YHwYs7ur
Any help in figuring out why my text messaging is crashing would be very helpful. I've been using a Fascinate since September. The only thing I did before this started happening was Titanium Backup was set to backup the green system applications and the user applications last night.
EDIT:
Sending a text message from the phone is causing a force close too. The message does send (I sent it to myself and it showed up a moment or two later after the fore close).
I think the mms database is screwed up but I'm not sure which database it is.
EDIT #2:
Well, I ran Titanium Backup again (just user apps+data, with the reboot option enabled). The system rebooted at the end of the backup and stuck at the SAMSUNG logo and will not boot up and not even into CWM with the three finger salute. Guess I'm doing the odin dance. Damn it. I had just gotten everything setup the way I wanted it. I will be leary of the Titanium Backup rebooting and see if that had anything to do with it. (Titanium Backup rebooted last night, the phone was off by the time I got to it this morning and it turned on fine except for the text messaging FC.)
I've odin'd the CWM (05-08-2011 version) and it still just sticks at the SAMSUNG screen....so ODIN back to ED03. Blech.
So am new to all this asop stuff but i followed BrwnSuperman's steps

to update from froyo comm romm 2.1 to JT's Vanilla Gingerbread and finally Miui 1.8.5. Now that im in Miui, everything works fine except my mms. I can only send outgoing messages but i get a force close every time am incoming message tries to come it (large or small). Is this a known issue or is there a fix for this? I reflashed it twice and even tried 1.7.29's mms.apk instead but to no avail. is there something i'm missing
Nevermind. I figured it out. I titanium restored my old txt data which has seemed to cause the problem, another fresh install with data wipe fixed it with the 1.8.12 update.
Coming from stock rom I have flashed GingerDX v13 Rom on my sisters mini pro, ive followed the procedures wipe cache/ system / data. When i restore the text messages and open the messaging app it hangs, becomes unresponsive, and eventually wants to force close. If i reboot the phone and reopen its will open the first time but the next time will not open, same cycle repeat rinse repeat. Go sms has same issue.
- the restore app i used is sms backup and restore (ive used this on my N1 without any issues).
- total amount of message +- 8100.
- flashed the room from scratch x2.
Anybody else seen this behavior before? the text backup was from stock rom, never had issues there, 2.2 i suppose unrooted.
Would like to exhaust all options and view other users opinions before moving to minicm7.
any input is greatly appreciated.
Hey everyone my i9100 has been giving me a lot of issues over the past few months.
It all started in December when my phone shut down when on a call and would not reboot. The phone also would not charge. After using compressed air to blow out the charging port and the battery connection it still would not start. I then removed the memory card and it started. Since then every time I insert a memory card the phone will not boot.
Now fast forward to this morning and I realize that my stock android messaging app is refusing to open with the error code "process com.android.mss has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I tried to clear the cache of both contacts and messaging but this option is greyed out.
I am now trying to find an app that can do a comprehensive backup of my data before I reset the phone.
Can anyone give me some advice as to how to solve these issues on the i9100? Any idea what is the most ideal application to do a complete backup to a PC? Of note is the fact that I have a lot of data in my text messages and in the app note everything. Everything else I can take care of my simply copying and pasting the files to my computer.
I also cannot seem to find where recordings done with the app Voice Recorder found on the site tokasiki are stored on the phone.
The phone is rooted and running stock android 2.3.4 baseband i9100UHKG4
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Backup using Kies.. If u can run apps ur phone, backup everything using the app "super backup" and copy its folder alone into the pc.. It wil hav al the files..
Factory Reset ur phone later.
Upgrade the phone to Official to 4.1.2 JB using odin or upgrade any other Custom ROM and hopefully it wil work.. A friend o mine experienced a similar prob wit the memstick and the update helped. Maybe the ROM in it is corrupted somehow. Hope this helps u! Good luck
Hi dudders007 thanks for your reply I successfully updated to JB using Keis but the messaging app still wont open. This time the message is "Unfortunately messaging has stopped"
What could be the issue?
Probably you updated you phone without wiping. Try to downl from gp app sms backup and try to backup all sms to your gmail account with this app. And after that do a full wipe or factory reset but without wiping yours int memory.
