Hello all
First of all sorry if this question has been asked. Usually I can find my answers myself by searching but can't this time. First of all I'm using d3rpICS_DRAMA_DM2. Last I was playing with the leedroid tweaks under the profiles settings. I switched it to sense 3.6. Now since I did that I keep getting a popup every 30 seconds or so saying system ui has stopped. I hit ok and it let's me continue what I was doing. I finally found the rom I liked and got my phone set up how I like so I'm wondering if there is a way to fix it or do I just have to flash again.

My first guess would be that the SystemUI.apk has the wrong permissions.
Either use the "Fix Permissions" in LeeDroid tweaks or do it by going into recovery and use Fix Permissions from there.
Or, if you know how, you can do it manually for just the SystemUI.apk and go into the /system/apps/ folder with Root Explorer or equivalent and chance the permissions to rw-r--r--
Be sure to reboot (i personally do a cold boot each time i mess with system files, meaning i shut it off, remove battery and then put it back together and boot up) after each time you fix permissions.
If that doesn't work, try and open the ROM.zip file with WinZip or similar and manually copy the SystemUI.apk (and SystemUI.odex if the rom is odex) from the .zip to the /system/apps/ folder. This is incase the SystemUI file(s) were somehow damaged/corrupted when flashed (very very unlikely, but can happen).

I did do the reboot with the battery out. I'm gonna try that other stuff you suggested. I'll get back to ya. Thanks for the help.

The topic is old, but I have the same problem. It happened suddenly two days ago and randomly I get the message. I have to press "OK", then the status bar restarts after few seconds.
I have yoda ICS v8 S-off.
Here's a log-cat, if it can help

A simple question, but I just can't seem to find the answer. I put the power control widget on my home screen. Now, how do I get back to its menu so I can add/remove functions? I tried throwing it out and then putting it back, but it just comes back up with the same 5 functions. Is there a way to clear the default? Thanks.
I am curious what the answer to that question is as well.
I don't think you can choose what you want in 2.1. (You can do it in 2.2)They just come in a set.
Correct me if I was wrong.
I went back and checked out my rooted MYT3G, I think you are right. Unless someone has figured out how to put the 2.2 power widget into a 2.1 rom. I think that would be pretty awesome. I miss that functionality on my Vibrant.
I think Power Widget is "Settings.apk" So try installing that. I know that GenieWidget and GoogleVoice work fine....

Sweet, going to check that out now.

trying what ? to install settings.apk ?
^ dropping it in system/app caused constant reboots.
I had to boot into stock recovery, then go into clockwork and finally restore a nandroid.
I would be careful using the linked post above. I have already replaced some stock apps from cyanogen, this is the first that gave me any issue.

U always have to be carefull
I havent tried settings.apk, but I would just install it using file manager. Thats how I got clock, geniewidget, and google voice working. Used files from cm.
^ The power widget is a system app, you don't install, you just drop it in system/app. The News/Weather and Google Voice are just apps...
I renamed the original Settings.apk and Settings.odex and then dropped the new Settings.apk from a Cyanogen rom in to /system/app/.
No go, I ended up having to restore the original files back.
Oh well, I tried.
there's a power widget in the market (non-free) that has the same look as the standard power widget, but has more options and lets you customize it. i haven't used it, but it sounds like it would work for ya.
i just looked it up -- it's called 'Power Widget by BK Mobility'.
Thanks, I actually found that app this morning after I made the post here. Am liking it. It works very well.
DO NOT INSTALL THE FONT WITH THE NAME Helvetica neue 57 con font 2.0 THAT APK IS SOMEHOW BROKEN/BAD AND WILL CAUSE FC's! The rest have been reported to be good and working.

Sounds like you broke your settings, just pull the settings apk from the original rom zip and push it to your phone then reboot.

Forgive me if I may sound a little dumb here but how do you pull it from the original rom then push to phone?......
I am sure one of the fonts did that. it has happened to me before. To pull somethiong out of rom just unzip it. Settings.apk is in system/app folder.
Awesome fonts. Thanks!!

YES PLEASE I redid everything on my phone and its great again but i would love to use a different font but i do not want to use this zip until someone can pin point the problem
the ajax font crashed my settings, i repeat do not install the ajax font, it will crash your phone and constant FC of your display settings, i extracted the original settings .apk from my rom and pushed over and rebooted, that does not work...still FC... not cool...
I pinpointed the one that's causing the force closes. can't remember the exact name because I deleted it right when I discovered which one it was. I do believe it had something like "7con in it. Or something to that extent. Hope this helps everyone that's having this issue.

Uninstall it using Titanium or super manager or whatever you use and it ll be back to normal.
I unistalled them all using Titanium and was able to open up my display settings again.
Edit: post before me beat me to it.
yeah, that doesn't work, i uninstalled all of them hours ago...tried to push the settings apk over using root explorer but root explorer wont allow me to mount the system folder to rw just stays ro, i pushed settings.apk over to the data folder where app is and that did nothing after i replaced settings.apk...should i unistall settings.apk from titanium then reinstall settings.apk from my rom zip? i try to reinstall the settings.apk and it will not allow me to do so..now my launcher is freezing up and force closing on reboots...
Woops same problem. Is it the ajax apk?

yes, the others were working fine until that point or it could be a combination of them all or just the one bad .apk...i had to reflash my rom over a font..
My apps like Market n Pandora n just the qualities in general keep changing. Market icon reverts to green n inside I lose transparent aspect. Maybe Pandora doesn't change now that I think... Anyway its annoying. Does anyone know why. Is it cuz it updates w/out me choosing to somehow or a bug. I tried searching this but maybe I shouldn't have limited to virusROM. Not sure if its native to vr or wut
Sent from my TB (virusROM-kernel undecided) using XDA App
Not sure about Pandora but my market was doing the same thing. I read up on it and was told to reflash the ROM but make sure you backup all data using nandroid. Then after you reflash rename marketupdater.apk to a .bak extension. This will prevent the market from automatically updating. Once u reflash and reboot you can revert back to your old settings and apps using the backup you saved. Hope this helps
Sent from Ced's Thunderbolt XDA app - Infected with the VirusROM
the apps get updated so they lose the custom look and feel. no biggie, wait for the next VirusROM release, Im sure all the latest apps will be customized again.
After this happened to me while on my Droid X, I started doing this:
Right after the new ROM first boots, I make sure my root file explorer is installed and has SU permissions.
I navigate to system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
Click on Mount as RW (usually top of screen in your root explorer app)
Long press on the market updater
Tap Rename
Rename same as original, but change the file extension to .bak
I do all of this BEFORE I open the market for the first time after flashing a ROM.
This keeps the market from updating to the latest green version.

Have the ROM Bionix V 1.3.1 installed and it's a great rom but one issue. I flashed it on 2 phones but contacts force closes on one phone #1 every time I tried to either access it directly or indirectly (like when you long press a number to save a contact). Phone # 2 works great.
So, I deleted contacts.apk on phone #1 and tried to copy the apk from phone # 2 to #1 but it won't let me install. Any tips? I am using An outside dialer just to call now but I have some time now to try to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, czr

Try exporting contacts to memory card and import to new phone!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
That didn't work. Maybe I'm installing contacts.apk wrong. I've been long pressing the second phones contacts.apk on my SD card then long pressing to install. It says installing then application not installed.
Can someone post the vibrant cobtacts.Apk and give me pointers on install so my phone will take it?

^Help anyone?
You can't install system apps just by pressing on them. You have to use root explorer to push app in /system/app directory.

^^AGREED^^
Take the one from the ROM zip itself, or from the phone that it werks on whatever really. Good luck!
You need an app called Root Explorer as Alex mentioned. Then, mount it with root rights and RW privileges (its a checkbox at the top while using it) and copy the apk to the same place it is on the working phone. Then, restart your broken phone and it should be fixed.
If you have the force-closing again, something else is causing it, likely a setting conflicting somewhere. You may need to go ahead and reset some settings from Titanium Backup then.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Such a simple fix since I had a good working copy of the apk on the other phone. Got it to work!

Hi & Thanks for the look. My phone is in my signature. Basically a virgin Galaxy Nexus unlocked and rooted.
Any .zip I try to install, even as you suggested above gives me the error. Sigh! I want that inverted stuff.
I love you guys and a newb of sorts I am frustrated in all the wonderful stuff that gets posted without install details.
I cannot help but think if I am trying to install a inverted MMS, Gmail, or People .zip should I not disable or rename the current apps that I am replacing?
I experimented flashing the su.zip and it went ok. So it is not my phone.......I think?
Thanks.

How embarrassing!
Hey tried to install the apk but It keeps failing. Can I change it to .zip and just flash it?

If your talking about the mms.apk,
I use root explorer to navigate to the system/app folder and find the OE mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak to disable it. The icon will disappear from the home screen start bar and app drawer.
I then place the new mms.apk in system/app folder and make sure its permissions are all checked off.
Then go to my app drawer and see if its there and will run. If it does I drage the icon back onto my home bar.
Some devices are finicky. Some require a reboot after a renaming then move it in there. Some require a reboot after every move. Its according to the apk and the device.

Yeh. Just don't have two enabled ones in there.
Having major issue here. I tried to install the .zip when it was posted through cwm and it kept fibbing me an error. So then I downloaded the .APK file and tried to install it, another error. Then I moved it to system/app and when I rebooted I hand no messaging at all. I restored my stock messaging from my titanium backup file, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I really want this messaging system, I love the look. Can anyone give me some ideas?
