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.
Hello people. I'm kind of a newbie here, but i need to ask these questions.
I just flashed the new version of cmui from the previous version, with doing a full wipe before.
The rom installed correctly, but alot of functions are missing + a ton of force closes
Here is a list of what's wrong:
Sound Settings forces close when i try to change Ringtone etc
The same with wallpapers, alltho when i try to change wallpaper from the menu button settings, it says "application not installed on your phone" I suspect it has something to do with that
Update Me shows constantly "a new version is available" alltho i have the same one installed
gallery dont show any photos even tho i refresh etc
Music player cant find any of my music, seems it cant access sdcard or something
I've tried fixing permissions, it's also on the default theme, but nothing seems to help.
I've also tried reflashing rom, changing kernels (now running siyah 5.0b2 btw)
Everything else seem to be working normally tho, any ideas of what might be causing this?
PS, i've tried searching here + google for similar problems with no luck.
Sincerely PainUser
Hello,
I recently flashed JellyBam ROM and updated from 2.0 > 3.0 > 3.1 > 3.2. I've also tried both the Dorimanx and the Siyah kernels, ensuring that I wipe cache/dalvik before flashing each. Everything had gone swimmingly and the ROM was/is terrific. However, since the latest update it appears that my default messaging application will no longer notify me of new messages (SMS). This doesn't appear to be a problem for anyone else.
I've checked the settings within the application (Notifications box is ticked and a ringtone is selected), and I've also checked the system settings > device > sound > default notification which has a ringtone selected.
Additionally, I have a widget called "Missed it!" installed which changes whenever I get a new SMS, but there is no notification / sound from the phone to acknowledge this.
I've reflashed the ROM after doing a 'wipe cache' and 'wipe dalvik cache' but to no avail. I've also tried to wipe the cache for the app from within the 'manage apps' section.
Any suggestions? Your time is greatly appreciated!
Regards
No ideas?
Bump...
Still nothing? Could someone move the query into the JellyBam thread on the i9100 page then please?
I cannot post in there yet as I haven't made 10 posts.
Download a new messaging app like GoSms.
Thanks for the response.
I used to use GO SMS, but since flashing the new ROM i found the default messaging app and it's theme to be pretty good.
Today, i've tried to do a factory wipe and re-flash the ROM but I used Titanium backup to reinstall my apps and the problem persists.
Im now a fan of whatsapp.Send pics for nowt.....
I also use Whatsapp, but it's still annoying that I cannot get the default messaging app to push notifications.
I am sorry i cannot help you in any way as i dont have a galaxy s2. But you can ask the rom developer to look into your problem.
I've fixed the problem now. Wasn't able to work out what the quick-fix was, so I ended up doing a complete factory wipe and reinstalling apps with Titanium Backup. Managed to download a Samsung App's apk that had "S-memo" so I have managed to save the memo's I had stored previously.
Hi guys,
Not sure what to do here, I've tried everything.
No matter what, I can't get Gmail to continue push syncing instantly like it should, unless it is untouched after a fresh OS restore or new ROM flash.
The untouched factory version that came with the phone seems to be fine at first, but the minute I update to the latest Market version or restore via Titanium, or anything, it stops doing push syncing. It will only grab new mails if I go in the app and press refresh.
I've tried all the usual fixes, clear data, uninstall/reinstall, make sure the phone's sync/mobile data is on, checked the Gmail and account settings, checked inbox label settings, tried on Wifi and on LTE....NOTHING FIXES IT.
Can someone please help me? Getting frustrated, as one of the above usually always fixes this problem. Currently running stock/rooted/deodexed/debloated rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296109
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.
