From what I read, there is essentially an image of your firmware saved in the system memory somewhere; that image will contain everything in your firmware before you start mucking with it, including any apps you remove. When you factory reset, anything in that image gets put back, so you'd have to remove/re-freeze/whatever any apps you removed before the factory reset.

becuase when you do a factory reset after the reset it does a quick reinstall of all apps the the default csc that you have.. and those must be in it.

Izzint that what I just said?
i follow what youir saying, however i find it strange that nothing else that i have removed (mostly samsung bloatware hubs and few other apps ) on checking they havent seem to "reapear" only these three apps following what you have said and your line surley these should also have reinstalled ? iv gone as far as wipeing cache through cwm and as stated factory reset as well but these three just refuse to die / go away so once again ...can anyone tell me where they are hiding

Hmm. That IS strange. But sounds like it should only be an issue when you do a factory reset, right? How many times do you do a factory reset that this becomes that big of a pain?

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!

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 don't have access to a PC and I'm stuck with stock firmware...
My gmail crashes every time that I receive a email... I've already tried to restore factory settings but no luck... Really sucks having an error message on almost every email received.
Is there any gmail apk that I could install? Or for that I would need root access?
Yes you need root access, to delete---
Wait, why don't you clear cache? Settings->Applications->Gmail->Clear Cache
That should reset everything about the app.
If that fails, then you need root because there is no other way to remove a system app.
Also what caused it to suddenly have a brain fart?
Misledz, already tried that...
I even tried to factory reset... A few days later (an tons of apps reinstalled), the problem is back...
My market (now G.Play) is faulty too. Sometimes the app MyApps crashes to, usually when I launch market app.
I really want to try a diferent ROM (I use CM7 on my phone), but the lack of a PC is a major problem.
I don´t have any program directly related to GMail (no widgets related, nothing)...
You need CWM at this point, there is no other way to get it done :| As far a I know you need to install the gapps via CWM. If factory reset didnt work then you have a corrupt system that needs to be reflashed/fixed/updated.
I've just update gmail using Aptoide, só far só good...

GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
SOLVED , by factory reset
The most important clue i got was from a google reply i found on their forums: Gtalk app wasnt working either, so i dindnt have a connection to their servers.
I did a factory reset and reflashed my used rom, then CF root. Google play worked.
For this thread not to be so boring, some trivia:
I didnt do a standard backup. I entered all the settings by scratch. I did backup my contacts, memo, calendar, sms, emails with Samsung Kies. Restore worked without problems. I had these games with some progress, so i copied everything from /sdcard to my computer before factory resetting. I installed the games from google play and without starting them, i copied all stuff i found about those games back to /sdcard and /sdcard/android. Everything was where i left them, didnt have to login or something...
I suspect that i uninstalled some vital service that google play needs to run like maybe gtalkservice, but i cant really tell what happened. And what i especially dont get is why didnt the missing services or whatever didnt reinstall just by flashing, before factory resetting, like the app market did, cause thats what i tried in the first place.
All those infos about regional settings, market enabler and that sort of stuff were misleading for me! I guess it wasnt a server error after all.
Heres a very nice link with important/unimportant programs that galaxy s2 comes with. Cant really understand the language its in, but that table is very useful: YES NO and CAUTION with their respective colors says it all:
???( cant paste link due to foreign characters, using xda app)???
So just google for "mygalaxys2.com sammy apps", its the first link, then scroll down to the table.

Hey guys,
i need help our here. i am facing a rather odd problem which started yesterday. whenever i tried to open gallery, it says "
Not enough space. Delete unnecessary items such as download softwares, videos and documents."
I have factory reset the device 3 times deleted everything, flashed using ODIN but no avail. Any body has any solution for this?
I am using:
Stock ROM XXMEB5
Stock Kernel
Stock Recovery
EDIT: Finally Solved the Problem. The phone was not resetting properly, so for users facing this problem there are 2 possible solutions:
1. Flash stock rom, goto stock recovery and from there wipe data if CWM does not do it properly (In my case CWM did not do it properly)
2. The other solution, the info i figured out was that it had to do something with a folder in Android/Data directory. Try to delete folders one by one to see if this fixes the error

well, this worked for me. how can i use instagram now?
whenever i reinstall instagram the issue with the gallery comes back.
My device is SGS2 INTERNATIONAL and rooted, and also uninstalled few preinstalled apps for personal needs and more RAM. Few days ago, i did CLEAR DATA and FORCE STOP of few downloaded apps and preinstalled apps as device memory was getting low and device was slowing down. But after that, i am not able to open Gallery and also Camera force close after few seconds (using ZOOM CAMERA as i uninstalled the preloaded camera app). Also having "android.process.media" stoping problem. Screenshot are not saved becuse gallery is not accessable and message display as "USB Storage is in use" (and also i am not using any microSD cards).
So need serious help as my Call Ringtone does not ring and no vibration as well, but message tones are working. I cant access Device Ringtone setting, i tried market Ringtone app but even tht app dont work. Also tried market Gallery app but useless.
Tried cache clearence and reboot as well for Gallery, Camera and Setting.
So need serious help as i am missing important calls and having problems with the device. Thnx

Download and flash the official firmware using Odin.
Also don't forget to backup the data before flashing.

thnx.bt flashing new firmware is the most last option for me.
give me some other solution except flashing. and also wht abt factory setting restore.
Doing a clean install (with a wipe) of stock as suggested by the previous poster is a sound idea, you'd do well to do exactly that (if you want to fix your problems, that is).

comee on guyz, no other solution except new stock flashing.
plz do tell me if u got some solution.
thnx
Do a factory reset then. You're doing that whether you flash anything or not. You either flash + factory reset or factory reset on its own (which might not work). They're the possible fixes, you not wanting to do those things doesn't change the fix.
That means i am stuck with Flashing only.
Thanks for your support but i will try to find out some solution.
One more thing, i deleted the two files application-support.apk and application-support.odx , so can these two files cuase such problem (as on xda-forum i learned that by deleting these files, "android.process.media stop" problem can be solved easily with out de-stabling the ROM)

hi. what about flashing kitkat 4.4. will it be oka.
or i should flash only official rom. wht u suggest
Stock rom first, then if you want to put a custom rom on you can do that. The first thing is to get the phone working normally again I.E no FC's.
