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.

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?
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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
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 ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162680
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 %

Can anyone upload the system ui file for android KitKat?

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.
Hi,
I have a problem on my smartphone. (For info, it's a motorola atrix, running a Gingerbread stock version (no rooted, no operator specific version)
The problem is : all modifications done after a specific date (new photos, installed apps, send/received messages, preferences changes) disappear after a reboot. Same thing if I delete photos that were on the phone before that date, they seem to be deleted, but after a reboot they come back.
I tried to format, but nothing happened, the memory used stays the same, format is not done though no error message is thrown
The last test will be a factory reset ...
So I was wondering:
- is my memory storage corrupted ? is there any diagnostic app ?
- or is there any "read only" option in Gingerbread that I didn't notice ?
And jost for knowing, what is happening ? Do all the changes are saved in cache, so after reboot the cache is lost and I get back to the last "persisted" state ? Or is there a reset to the state at the specific date done at each reboot ?
Thanx for your help
Ok, I come back here because i need help with my problem, i don't have any idea ...
1) I have tried a factory reset (both mode, via menu, and external reset) : nothing happens, well it tells me it wipes data, reboot, and everything is like before
2) I tried to root the phone, with :
- Gingerbreak
- SuperOneClick
- Pete's Motorola Root Tools
- Unlock Root
Gingerbreak never ends, last time running but keep as it ... so failed
SuperOneClick and PMRT seem to do something, the phone reboot, but rootchecker tell me i'm not rooted
UnlockRoot i faild making it work
3) I check apps, installed avg (just to try, no more idea) but it saw nothing special ... I uninstalled some apps...
The result is same, after rebooting, all the modifications are lost (installed/removed apps, added/deleted files, system parameters, ...)
The only way I image now is flashing the bootloader & install a new rom ...
BUT it's a system, I should be able to see what is happening, which application is messing it up ? Is there an app that reset the phone state after reboot ? I don't understand ...
An help would be appreciated,
thanx a lot

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
I'm struggling with something that never happened to me, I'm unable to restore my database to my recently upgraded Samsung J3 2016 - is running LineageOS 14.1 now
The phone was running stock Android 5.1.1, version J320FXXU0AQI1, nothing fancy here.
Made some research about what ROM to use and decided to upgrade to LineageOS 14.1, I'm really sick and tired of Google spying my steps, my contacts and the number of times i take a piss every day, and so on. Right now I don't have any Google account associated with the mobile (could this be the problem, since this is a custom ROM?)
Everything ran smoothly, backed up my contacts, call logs, SMS, pictures and the ENTIRE Whataspp folder. This method always worked fine on several phones I've upgraded or simple swapped equipment to a more up-to-date hardware. Everytime worked like a charm, restored logs, contacts and so on, in what it concerns to Whatsapp i simply moved the ENTIRE folder to the new phone (or upgraded phone), installed the Whatsapp app and is just straight forward for the app to ask me for a SMS code to activate the software and then asked me to restore my backed up database. It has been very simple so far, but not this time:
When it reachs the point to detect and restore my database Whatsapp states that can find one Database from 1970 (???? WTF) with 0 bytes, and after that it fails to restore my data (not strange, 0 bytes is no data). I've already tried earlier versions of Whataspp, tried different databases (there are 7 in my folder, i don't believe all of them are corrupted). I'm reaching 0 ways to explore. BTW, i dont use Google drive to store my backups because its enough for Google to know how many times i take a piss everyday, i rather have the backups with me, on my phone (thanks any way Google), but the files are safe in my desktop and on my phone for now, inaccessible so far but their're there.
Can any one point me some way to try to revive my database? Just a note, i have an older phone that still have Whatsapp there, i didn't erased it, maybe it's there something of interest for this situation?
Thanks so much in advance for everyone that can help, any hint can be helpful.
Update!
I've managed to get another phone, exactly the same, Samsung J3 201 J320F.
I've sent my whatsapp folder to the phone, signed in to my google account, installed whatasapp and, like 98% of the times my backup is ok and is restored. Now I have two phones:
1- one with Whataspp working fine (the one with Stock ROM 5.1.1 J320FXXU0AQI1
2- another one, the main phone, where i want to put my whataspp backup working but it simply doesnt work (previous post). Everything elese is settled and working just fine. Maybe whatasapp doesnt like Custom ROMs??
So, I'm sure that my backups are fine, right now I have access to anything that i may need i guess. I don't believe that Im the first person not beeing able to restore whataspp backups in LineageOS.
Please help
New developments.: I've installed Ressurection 5.8.5, the latest available for this phone. It runs ok, but Whataspp problem is still there, the backup is marked to have 0Kb, somehow Whataspp simple doesn't want to recover my backup if I'm using a custom firmware (I receive a warning about no support from them if I have problems at the beginning of the startup process).
So far this method didn't work (Whatsapp shows my Backup with 0Kb):
1) Copy your latest crypt 12 file to /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/
2) Install / Activate WhatsApp
3) WhatsApp will retrieve the key from their server and restore your backup.
I've tried this method that appeared to have some success in same cases. Followed everything but no luck, Whataspp detects a 0Kb backup also.
Meanwhile I still don't believe that I'm the very 1st person that this happens, I'm still very impressed with this. If the OP thinks I'm in the wrong Topic please feel free to move it to the right place, maybe there I'll have better luck.
Not that I have much knowledge in that direction, but the issue sounds more like it is about the file than Whatsapp itself. Maybe some permission issue? If you use a filemanager app like total commander, can it read the file fully? I found a topic that had 0 byte filesize issue and a simple reboot apparently fixed it.

Hello musschrott, and thanks for replying.
I've tried moving the database file, erase it, changing it's name and the android system allows me to do it, i think the file itself is free to be read by Whataspp, but your other tip, the permissions in system made me google around (even more..) about it and I found here on XDA this. : "The privacy protection in the drop down menu and the permission in the app settings." (credits to LegoTechniker). On the privacy protection is all ON but in the Permission is all OFF and Whataspp nor the System ask me to turn it ON and it can result on whatasapp reading files with 0Kb from 1970.
I'll give a try but only tomorrow because the code/phonecall from Whataspp have a 48h delay and keeps increasing everytime I try a different method to solve this issue.
musschrott, thanks again!

For everyone and specially those who helped (musschrott).
This has worked for me: giving full permissions to Whataspp in "Settings - Privacy" and in "Settings - Applications" worked like a charm, you have to do it BEFORE you start Whatsapp.
Best regards to everyone and thanks once more!
Make sure the WhatsApp backup file is in internal storage, and rename the backup file to msgstore.db.crypt.
After upgrading to LineageOS 14.1,install WhatsApp.When asked to restore from backup,choose the "msgstore.db.crypt" file.

Yes,
Those are the basic steps, but BEFORE running Whatasapp for the 1st time you have to give permissions in the system to Whatsapp because these are all OFF and the system doesn't ask to turn them ON when the permission is needed, simply presents you a file with 0Kb from 1970 and that's it. Again, you have to do this BEFORE the 1st Whatsapp startup and everything should run well.
Best regards
My issue is I gave full write permissions but then it goes straight to the Google Drive restore and does not show my local backup.

Steps: 1)make sure you rename the database as it should be.
2)Install whatsapp
3)Insert your number when asked
4)Use Otp/code
5)Then the app will ask you for google drive permission ,click allow/ok
6)Then the app will ask for contact permission ,simply deny this permission (very important)
7)Then the app will ask for storage permission ,hit allow (very important)
8)Then you will see your local storage behind the popup saying allow google drive and crap You will need to press add account and have your fingers ready for instant tapping between add account and instant tapping restore button ,and out of 10-30 times doing this practice, you will luckily hit restore button, I know this sounds confusing, And I can make a tutorial video if you want ,this works 100%
9)once it is restored ,you will still see app asking google drive option, don't click skip (this will reset the app ,leading to nothing restored) , So when the app is asking to restore from google drive, close the app right away (very important)
10)open the app ,and the app will ask you to set name ,set your name ,and you'll see all your backup"
