Evening Everyone,
Spent the day playing with rooting my tablet (longer than expected but, eh). Ended up going with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 and installing an embedded clockwork so I didn't have to hassle with an imaged sdcard all day. Everything worked great, some flaws with the rom but it is generally really stable.
Started playing with the settings and all of a sudden I got a message that the system UI has quit working. Now the status, notification bars and navigation buttons have disappeared. So far I have:
Rebooted
Opened Trebuchet and cleared the cache (and rebooted)
played with the settings to try and at least get the tablet bar to activate, it didn't (and rebooted)
Anyone have any solutions on how to get it back? I haven't tried reinstalling the rom as I wanted to try you guys first before I go and redo everything yet again.
Thanks for your help!

try holding the power button until the menu pops up and there should be something along the lines of "toggle status bar"
I have an option to "Expand Notifications" and it does drop down the extended notification bar, however it disappears right after use and I still do not have status or navigation buttons.
It is acting like I have full screen time out activated, but I have checked over and over and it is not
Got it
had to set the full screen timeout, exit to home, go back into settings and clear the full screen and violin, it is back...
(those captchas blow ass!!! this is the fourth time...grrrr...)

So this is what happened in short. I used Advanced Task Killer app to kill apps to save battery. It worked well for about couple of days. I was careful in what apps to kill. But after my last boot I unintentionally killed some app/task after which i get a "blank screen".
My phone boots normally. I can view my phone screen wallpaper in my locked mode. But when I unlock my phone I get this black area below my notification bar. Only my notification bar works. The menu, home, back and search button do not trigger anything in the black screen. Incoming call is received but i cannot attend them.
I tried multiple reboots. Took off my battery, sim for a few min and booted again. The black screen wont go away. I did a backup using clockwork recovery couple of days back. The last app i installed was Lookout antivirus.
Can someone please guide me how to fix this issue
I will be out for a few hours. I will respond as soon as I'm back. Thank you
Odin back to JFD Stock, Then root and see if that resolves the issue. If it does, then reflash your rom, do not forget to make a backup and save an extra copy on the computer not the phone.
If Flashing Stock does not resolve, then it very likely to be a hardware problem.
what launcher are you using? if its anything besides the gingerbread launcher or twiz then you are probably accidentally killing the launcher you are using and thats resulting in the launcher having to reboot. be very careful with your auto kill settings or set exceptions for your launcher.
you could adb push a different launcher so when you hit home it would ask which one to use and select the new one to gain access.
Hi i resolved the issue by restoring backup. i think killing launcher pro prevented the home screen from launching. Since I could view other thing I hit the power button and then chose Recovery option. It booted in clockwork recovery and I restored a backup I did a couple of days ago and the restore fixed the issue.
Thanks for your inputs.
I got myself into trouble on my teamdrh Dirty Bean 5.3 gtab yesterday. I had been changing a few settings and returned to the home screen and got a "Unfortunately trebuchet has stopped" message. Clicked that and it just kept reappearing, after a few minutes a complete re-install seemed imminent, having just got all my apps in place I didn't want to do that. Checking out here and a few other places didn't yield much until I stumbled on a post that talked about the persistent search bar. Getting back into settings from the taskbar, going to Interface->Launcher->Homescreen-> Enable Persistent Search Bar was unchecked, checking it got rid of the message and made the tablet usable again. If disabling this causes the system to effectively become unusable perhaps this option should be greyed out or just not available. Anyway if you get into this situation this is how to get out of it, not brilliant, not earth shattering but hopefully will save you some time and a reinstall.

Your fix didn't work for me however it put me on the path to resolution.
I rcvd the same Trebuchet error every time I installed a new app. I modified the Launcher>HomeScreen>Homescreens to 4 from 2. Presto, issue resolved. The system was trying to place an icon on a homescreen for a new app and there wasn't free space on my homesreens. Increasing the number of homescreens resolved the issue.
Thx
It appears the launcher crashes when you have icons on the screen, which is no longer visible (because I reduced the number of screens without removing icons first or app added an icon, not sure about the latter). Increasing the number of screens, removing the icons from the screen farthest to the right, changing back to few screens, and all is well again. Thanks jobless and Efros.
When will the Dirty Bean beta be released?
this will also happen to you if you disable page indicators...
Hello. I'm a long time lurker, first time thread creater.
I have an Evo V from VM that's rooted, s-off, hboot 1.50 that was running CM10.1
Randomly it seems out of nowhere, the bottom strip stopped working. In other words I couldn't hit the calls button, the app drawer button, or the other 3 buttons on the homescreen. The hardware buttons still worked, and directly above the line of the homescreen dock worked. When in an app like greenify I couldn't hit the button to allow an app access, or in messaging I couldn't hit the text box to bring up the keyboard and start typing. When I went to do something that automatically brought the keyboard up I couldn't hit the spacebar, etc. At first I figured it was a hardware problem but now I'm not sure. This is because I enabled the dev option that shows you the input the phone is receiving. The little white dot came up exactly where I was touching, I just wasn't getting a response and I can't figure why. Tried the DU rom and the same thing. Tried the pacman rom and had the same problem. Yet the phone says that there is input there, things just aren't happening. This is further validated with the fact that when in 4ext, anything at the bottom of the screen where the dead zone would be, still works. Restored my CM backup when nothing else worked and for now the dead zone seems to be actually gone. But Idk how long that will last. Any ideas?
I'm guessing it's the pie controls getting in the way.
Go to settings>system>pie settings>trigger area>none
See if that fixes the problem.
Hello
I have Wildfire S with Cyanogenmod 2.6.35.13-CRYPTOMILK-g721bcd9 (version 9.0.0-RC2 ALPHA 6 marvel) based on Android 4.0.4.
I've installed also Int2Ext and two or three days ago Adrenaline.
And it worked just fine.
Until yesterday. Two days ago I started to have a indicator that i have memory full. But when i went into memory settings i have a lot of memory.
But i've uninstalled one game.
And still nothing.
After that i've browsed internet with Opera and a popup showed to ask me if i want to download Porn.apk. Of course i cancelled it.
And today my phone didn't go beyond the loading animation.
So i've uninstalled Andrenaline.
And it started.
But since that i can not touch and move my screen.
On the screen there is a blue circle displayed and when i move my screen it does not move; the circle does.
And i'ts impossible to do anything now on my phone. Because it's hard to use this circle thing.
I've found on the internet you should go to Settings -> Developer Settings -> Touch display and disable it.
So i did it but still i have this circle. I also tried to enable it, restart, disable it, restart and nothing.
Installing Andrenaline didn't help also.
Is this some kind of a virus? Or settings broken?
Is there any way to fix it with command line or some other software and not with wiping whole phone?
Did you ever find a solution to this? The same thing just happened to me!
Me too! a solution?
Solution:
Create a file called "melf-touchscreen.idc" with content "touch.deviceType = touchScreen", add it to "system\usr\idc"
Hey all,
Just got my new OnePlusX and the first time I turned it on it prompted all the set up screens. I had to skip through them all because the keyboard would not stay open. It would open and then immediately minimize. Not a great start but no problem, I'll add my accounts and connect to wifi later.
Once I get into the 'home screen' I could see my status bar at the top but no icons and no way to access the app draw. I pressed the capacitive buttons and opened the notification slider which both worked and eventually got into the play store. From here I installed an app or two and got prompted to do a system update, which I did.
After the update I was hoping my launcher would work.. it didn't. The home screen is a black screen with the status bar at the top and no icons - the home button seems to do nothing when I'm in an app and press it.
I installed a third party launcher which worked - I now have a home screen and app draw. However, after opening an app, it crashes after a second or two (chompSMS does this as well as messenger, phone and contacts which are stock apps).
Does anyone have any information about this, what can I do here?
I know one option might be flashing a custom rom but being a brand new phone that should most definitely not be something I have to do to be able to call and message people..
Update: I ran a factory reset and all problems seemed to be resolved now. Not sure what was going on but I guess something happened that a reboot couldn't fix. I'll leave this post in case it helps others.
Have you done a factory reset after the system update??
