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'm running Bamf remix 1.6.3 and everything's been peachy since it was installed but now it suddenly is showing an error message that says "System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." My only option is to press a button that says "I'm feeling lucky" and then all my apps start force closing. Can anyone explain how this happened and if wiping everything is the only way to fix this?
P.S. I did a search for this and found conflicting answers.
I found this solutions which worked for me.

You could have fixed the problem without starting from scratch. I just ran into the problem myself and was able to fix it by going into cwm and restoring permissions under the advanced tab. hope this helps anyone who has this same issue, it took me a while to find a solution

Hi guys,
Wonder if anyone can shed a light why this happens. It's been going on for the last few months – Originally I thought I'd wait and see if the problem resolves by itself. But seems to get slightly worse over time now.
I am currently: Rooted & Unlocked
Problem: System hangs after reboot at home screen with message “Process System Not Responding” - with option to wait or terminate the process – Whatever option is chosen, ATP will reboot itself.
Frequency: Unpredictable – But once the message appears after switching it on, ATP will reboot itself 2 to 4 times before I can use it again.
I had done a lot of searches, but there doesn't appear to be any solution / or anyone knows why this is happening. One useful comment I found recently said this may be due to some processes starting before they are meant to during boot up sequence – but no details were given.
What I had tried (based on numerous suggestions after searching the net):
Wipe Dalvik Cache / Caches
Clear “Media Storage” and “Google Framework Services” data
Remove my accounts (currently I have two accounts registered in my ATP) and re-register the accounts.
Remove all the widgets from home screen
Hard reset / Factory Reset
Finally – Multiple different combinations of the above
Getting quite frustrated here.
Wonder if anyone can help please?
Thank you in advance.
[Q] "Process System Not Responding" researching and even downgrading to .15 --> .21, I think the problem is finally solved.
Allegedly "Process System is Not Responding" may be caused by process(es) that hangs or take too long to complete during the boot up sequence. So I uninstall blindly one program at a time - and it appears that Cachemate might have caused it.
Prior to this, every 3-4 normal boots, were followed by 2-3 "Process System is Not Responding" until a normal boot followed. I am now 48 hours problem free. Hopefully it will stay this way.
Edit (11/06) - Ok, spoke too soon. Got the message again after 24hours of use and after roughly 15 normal reboots (I switched ATP off/on these many times to make sure the problem was well and truly gone). The Cachemate could just be a red herring then. However there appear to be less in term of frequency. I noted that the message came on after I watched a video (3hours long video - 600mb in size) and rebooted ATP. Tried disabling media storage (no real logic here, I thought I just gave it a go) - but the problem is still there. So this evening, I reflashed the asus .21 rom --> downgrade to .15 --> reroot --> upgrade back to .21 (again to real logic here, thought I give it a go).
I can't think what else to do. I wonder if large hosts file (mine is 8mb) could cause the problem or the wallpaper I use that is stored under /sdcard - but again, the problem/message only comes up randomly.
Edit (13/06) - Finally managed to narrow down the problem. Everytime a large hosts file (mine is about 8mb) is created, the problem comes (faithfully everytime). And when the original smaller hosts file is restored - problem is gone entirely.
Any input on workaround is very much appreciated.
alright i fixed it on my phone. i did a full wipe. tell me if i need to explain how to do this. reflashed the ROM and gapps. when i went through the setup the first time there was an option to restore from google. it was checked by default. i left it checked. same problem... system process not responding... wiped and started over and reflashed ROM and gapps. unchecked restore google and it didnt come back. phone hasnt crashed since. the problem lies within the wifi passwords restore. the problem started when i was trying to start wifi. i dont know where to report the bug or i would. good luck and any questions? just quote this so i get an email and ill try to explain if this didnt make sense. hope it helped. if it did consider buying my buddy a beer who is a dev and needs a new computer. http://johntriger-development.yolasite.com/
Hi;
Problem is related to the Google search (both Widget and the one in the browser inside Android).
Recently, attempting do search anything in Google search Widget resulted in strange exit from it to the main Android screen. It just closes itself without any error message.
Android version is 5.1.
Later, few steps were done to fix the issue. First, data and cache deleted at application management. It did not fix the issue. Then, software factory reset, did not fix it. And attempt with hardware factory reset did not fix it. Google search Widget just disappears every time anything is being entered there (again, both Widget and in Browser).
More precise, after factory reset, Google search (initial, factory version) works, then immediately after autoupdate (connection to Internet to new version it stops working again.
It is happening on Meizu, OS Flyme, Android 5.1.
There may be some conflict related to Google Search, newer version and OS, that version.
Have to ask if anybody experienced similar issues - is there a possibility to resolve it? Thank you.
