Nearly every time I restart or reboot the phone, including from recovery, I lose the settings I have for ringtone, default notifications, and for tones for various messaging apps and I have to reset them. This is a big annoyance . I am using a custom KK ROM, in this case NeatROM, What is weird is that when I first migrated to CyanFox at the beginning of the year, it didn't happen. Then, one day it started and continued with the other KK ROMs I used - which are NeatROM and Mokee (though it happens less on Mokee). At first, I thought it was the media scanner, so (thank you, Sale) I disabled it in NeatROM and tested that. Nope. Not the cause of the problem. I also thought it might be because the notifications and ringtones I use are stored on my external SD card (formatted for exFAT), but when I moved them all to the internal SD, the problem remained. Any ideas how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
A little update. I thought I could fix the problem by moving my preferred sounds to /system/media/audio. For good measure, i converted them from mp3 to ogg format. But moving them didn't do anything. The problem persists.
Try working with default ringtones . When you say you loose ringtones do you mean it turns to default or none ? I had a problem and I used to disable media scanner via an app . When I reboot my ringtones and alarms would turn to none ( it said none or smthing close to that in the settings ) . Else it might be a bug in the rom . Factory reset and changing the rom is always a sure option .
The ROM has defaults for the ringtone and notification tone. When I lose my "customized" settings in reboots, they are replaced by the defaults. This happens on all 3 KK ROMs I've used, but not on stock or rooted JB. I've tried factory resets, dirty installs clean installs, fresh installs from stock, reformats. Nothing fixes it. I am beginning to think the phone itself is deteriorating.
I discovered that the sounds settings are preserved if i do a soft or hard reboot from within xposed installer. That's pretty weird but maybe points to a solution to the problem?

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 ...
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 %
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.
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.
I cannot set ringtones & notification sounds
If I enter a contact settings , I see that there is a sound file defined , the file I chose , but when he calls,The call has the default phone's ringtone
I'm unable to set ringtone for incoming mail , (it stuck on "quiet" )
I'm unable to set ringtone for incoming SMS ( in this case , I use GO sms app and it has its own internal settings where it works, but not the Android settings )
Please Help , Urgent !
Thank you all
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, ROM Resurrection Remix® 4.4.2 v5.0.8
That happened to me on SlimKat, and the only way to fix it was full format ( phone and sdcard ), factory reset. Just reinstalling the rom was not helping.
What I think happens is that media scanner get's stuck on some corrupted file and just can't locate the ringtones.
Given all the kitkat related SdCard issues I went back to using 4.3 JB. I'm not saying you should do the same, but if you have a sdcard in the phone and you don't want it crashing every 2 days or so it's something worth considering.

Hello There
OK, i did it all over again.
I have formatted the memory cards, delete all cache and factory default and re-flash the ROM v5.0.8 and same as 5.0.9.
I still have that problem, cannot set notification ringtones.
I think that it is a bug in the ROMs. in v5.0.7, did not had the problem.
is there a way to send the group a system log for they could see and fix the problems?

Hello, i am using NC5 build for a while. It's rooted.
I noticed, after deleting Verizon's bloatware, after every single phone restart my notification panel goes default order, My Files app goes default too (using S5 app) and my widget's Undefieing Demong.apk goes stops working.
So every restart i make, i have to set everything back, install apps again, set witdget again....
Is it possible to fix this problem? I had never had this problem. I would like to fix it without factory reset.
Thanks for replies
P.S in topic' name i made mistake. After restart, not after update

This is the wrong place. You need to post this in the rom thread you are on or the Q and A forum.
Good Morning from Germany
first of all: Please excuse me for my english, its not my native language, i'll try my best to make you Understand my Problem!
Recently i've got some problems with the "acore" (Contactstorage) and mediastorage processes.
It all started with some notifications that the mediastorage process had stopped, everything was good after i had deleted app data but a few days later the notifications came back (in a 2 sec. interval) and a notification that the acore process has stopped came with it (same interval). Deleting the AppData had no effect. Also wiping data and dalvik via Recovery didn't change anything.
So i did a FullWipe and a fresh install of the Omega v60 Custom Rom, which was installed before.
After that it didn't even booted and i always landed in CWM Recovery, so i tried flashing a new Recovery (TWRP) and flash it again, no changes.
After flashing CM11 it booted well, but also had the process problems.
Tried flashing CM10.2 - same!
For now I flashed CM11 again, still have the Problems. Only thing to do is deactivate the MediaStorage and Contact-Storage.
Problem with it is, as you can guess, i cannot even set a Ringtone, watch my Gallery or set up a Alarm Clock because of the deactivated media storage. Also i can't initialise Whatsapp, save Contacts etc. because of the Contact-Storage.
So my phone is now pretty unuseful.
If you have any ideas what could be the Problem, please help!
Again: Excuse my english!
Have a nice day,
