[HELP] "process status bar has stopped..." - flashed framework-res.apk - Galaxy S II General

Hi guys
I was trying to change my battery icon using the file here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13688277&postcount=87
I overwrote the original framework-res.apk and the reboot.
But now as soon as my phone starts and tries to show the home screen i get a dialog box saying:
"The application %1$s (process %2$s) has stopped... The process Status bar has stopped unexpectedly Please try again".
It then immediately restarts, i cannot get in root explorer to be able to change the framework-res.apk back to original.
Can someone please help! The USB-Debugging is not on i think , but i can't get into the settings to enable it if its off.
What should i do. someone please help.
Rooted SGSII running KE2.

Do i have to follow this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13712988&postcount=1
and flash stock SGSII rom and basically start from scratch with all my apps and settings ? (I really hope not).
please tell me there is an easier way to fix this.

Go to settings > applications > Manage applications > All. Find status bar in the list and press force close and then clear data. Reboot.

I cannot do that. As soon as the Main UI displays (homescreen) , one second after that the phone reboots. homescreen appears frozen too, menu/home/back buttons don't do anything.

I had this problem too, it ****ed up my whole phone and I had to flash stock rom and lost all data. Didn't had usb debugging on
I don't recommend this battery mod or any changing to the framework

i guess the price to pay for being a Android modding rookie is painful manual restoration of how the phone looked!
I hope Market will recognize all the apps i bought (20+) otherwise that's alot of money ($100+) gone down the drain !

You won't lose your purchases, they are tied to your google account even if you switch device.

great, so i went ahead and flashed a stock rom using previous mentioned guide above, strange thing is EVERYTHING is intact! i was under the impression that everything will get wiped out but the only thing i had lost was root and that easily fixed . i am so relived

This is because the SGS2 has /data completely separate from the system.. it only makes a fresh /data if /data is missing. So when you flash just the system, your data is left alone.

thanks for the info RyanZA, i'm glad they way it this way otherwise i would have been screwed.

Frequent force close of system applications

Hello
Android version: 2.3.3
Running stock ROM with XWKF3 with default Samsung launcher. (let me know if further info is required)
From few days GS2 has been starting to force close the system applications out of blue. Not had this issue since 3 months. Basically I would get a force close of Google services initially (pic attached) which would throw that pop up in a contionus loop. When I later check out others apps the following applications also gave me the force close error:
1. Internet (doesn't even let me see the force close error. The box appears for less than a milliseconds and closes off)
2. Email
3. Gmail
4. Messaging
5. Social Hub
6. Gtalk
7. Tasks
8. YouTube
9. Wireless will not connect and it tries to scan and later switches off automatically.
10. TW launcher (not all the time, the home screen will restart itself on a contionus loop - effect similar to when we clear through RAM from task manager.
As u can see the above apps are mostly the system apps. Specifically android apps rather than touchwiz.
Here is what I have tried:
1. Try exiting all apps and clearing the RAM through task manager. But still the above mentioned applications force close.
2. so the only way was for me to switch off and the on the device. However this does not look like a permanent solution since the problem appears again like two or three times a day.
I would also like to point out that may be the issue issue is only when the wireless and is turned on. I can't be sure here completely.
Also after I restart the device oddly everytime the device temp shows as 39° C and then cools down.
I have not rooted my device at all and also have not installed any application which does a system wide changes (oh except Samsung app update and Samsung mobile security from the Samsung app store)
Just not able to know wot is causing the problem
So could anyone please help me out to as to solve this issue? Is some kind of virus/malware being attacked? Is the device suffering from faulty hardware?
Gald to provide any further info if required.
Thanx.
Have you tried fixing permissions a lot of time that solves FC's, if not id recommend doing a full wipe.

Thanx for the reply. What does fixing permission actually mean? also would I have a risk of killing my device when doing a full wipe? would I void my warranty? is it same as doing an hard reset on Nokia phones?
sorry for so many questions, this my first android device and got to get used to troubleshooting stuff :-/

Fixing permissions fixes problems often associated with Force Close errors.
boot into recovery > advanced > fix permissions > reboot system now.
if fixing permissions doesn't work you should do a full wipe and you should be ok then.
I would definitely root your device if i were you most people do you can so much more, you can always "unroot" if you do need to send it for repairs and are worried about warranty.

Hello
I tried to use the fix permission options. I went to recovery mode by switching off the device and holding down the volume up key + home key + power button and releases them once the Samsung logo appeared. I got the following screen. Link:
(there was an error attaching the pic
However I cannot see the "advanced" option though :-/ help?
And now after reading your post I'm actually thinking of rooting my device. Once I have time for it. Thanx for the advice on that.
Well it looks like issue is solved. I dint get option of "fix permissions" but by accident choose the fourth option "wipe cache partition" out of curiosity. And from that day on dint have any force close issues.
Just wanted to add that i too experienced this. Fixed it with a factory reset as i didn't think of wiping cache. I was not rooted, running KI1 2.3.4.
Force Close fix??
I have the same problem, I've tried everything again the same

I guess that's my last resort. Damn
Edit: How would I even factory reset it? I literally can't use the phone. It's bricked. And in the recovery mode menu there is no option to factory reset. (tried pressing power and volume up)
If your phone is still locked, save the data (if needed) via adb and unlock it. But there could be easier way.

go to gmail account settings and sync everything. Google play will have your apps backup but not app data. Save all music, pics and files that you dont want to lose to your computer. Then just go to backup and reset in your settings menu and select Factory Data reset.
if that doesnt solve your problem you might have to use fastboot to reinstall the Jellybean.

I've had something similar to this on my G2x at one point; Android keeps popping up with errors and you can't do a single thing but reboot...which ends up erroring the same way when you're back in in an endless loop.
OP, you'll have to wipe and reinstall. If you've rooted it and enabled USB debugging then you're golden. If not, you'll have to go through several hoops to flash a factory image.

I am having this situation right now for my Nexus 4 (running stock 4.2.2 and installed Quick Settings mod from kevdliu, use the ROM for a long time and one day want to wipe all, after wiping, and reboot system I got this) and I think I figured out the solution: Wait until the battery is exhausted and automatically turned off, then put it into the charger for some time. Then pull it out of the charger, press volume up + down + power to get into fastboot. From here, we can wipe all and flash a new rom, or restore to stock rom, or do anything fastboot can do.

why install quick settings when stock 4.2.2 comes with its own form of quick settings? I'm willing to bet that's your problem!

you haven't used stock 4.2.2 have you? Its quick settings is so frustrating, it always takes me to Settings to turn on or off Wifi. I want a quick Settings that takes only one click to turn on or off Wifi, so I have to install that mod. Btw, I'm still waiting for the battery to die

hey i know this thread was already answered but i found that this messaged popped up after changing some settings for the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. i didnt want it on my screen because i kept clicking either the back button or the home button which was very frustrating. so i tried to turn it off..that didnt work so instead i set all of the buttons to empty and the visibility to 0% and only after tracing back the steps i took (having to click the ok button for the stupid message about 80 times) i finally managed to find out that the navigation bar was the problem. hope you guys are able to fix your problem as simply as i did without doing anything drastic.

I recently had this issue and determined also that it must be something with my status/notification bar as it seemed to resize the screen to show the bar and then immediately resized it again as it displayed the System UI message. I use both Wanam and XBlast and disabled those as well as all Xposed modules. I also disabled Nova Launcher as default and rebooted. Re-enabled all and rebooted again and problem was resolved. Hopefully this will help others as well.

[Q] xposed installer causes SYSTEM UI error

hi
\i have tried installing the framework in order to use the Xposed Installer mods\ \
ALWAYS ALWAYS immediately after reboot i get the "Unfortunately SYSTEM UI has stopped" error ALWAYS
i have done full wipes data, cache, dalvik AND SYSTEM only to come back with the same error time and again
i have installed crash rom from galaxy s4 gt- i9500
again as i said completely wiped and yet the error is there
also and this is absolutely baffling - i downloaded several new cusoms roms for the galaxy s4 gt-i9500 *wanamlite, phoenix, cobra"
and for the life of me cobra would not start at all - again after full wipes - system, data, dalvik cache and with full battery - zim\
phoenix loaded once only to fully freeze after and no go and wanamlite loaded only to come up with nottach mods from lord knows where that made the system unstable and rebooted into oblivion
again i reload this rom as downloaded fresh from full wipes.
i am luckily using crash version 11 but unable to do the framework install
PLEASE PLEASE HELP, i am new and am not allowed to post into the developper's area to find an answer please please
thanks from the bottom of this 68 year old geek

It could be an incompatibility with the ROM you are using. Soe ROMs just do not like their core components messed with.
Try a different ROM. See if you get better results.

something causes the screen size to enlarge, is there a spec in the developer page that may cause this?

i install the framework and then it asks for a reboot, during the reboot and at the restart i keep getting the "system ui has stopped" error, i can make it go away ONLY by removing the framework , i have a couple of aps that have a "restart UI" option even this doesn't work either.
at this moment, i am in the modules, page and at the top i have the message "the latest version of xposed currently not active, did you install the framework and reboot"? if i go into the framework, press install and then reboot, at reboot i get the error message, ALWAYS
any ideas, really puzzled
thanks for your time, much appreciated

first off thank you so much for taking the time to try to help, very very much appreciated, now this being said
i installed arrow rom v10 android 4.3 ubuemk1
in it there's an option in the settings page that has the xposed installer framework by going in it , it says thre are 46 app_process bundled and 42 xposedbridge.jar and active none,
i click on install/update and do the soft reboot, period, at this moment and after the reboot, i notice that the homepage is slightly taller and thre's no space for the status bar, and i presume that's the reason i get the "system ui has stopped" error. i can't imagine what setup causes the change in dimentions
btw i use apex as launcher. but that also happened with the standard (i forget the name) android launcher
i can undo the system ui error by going into the same settings page and removing the framework install
and that's it, i can't tell what framework version it's installing,, but know how frustrating this is, i just don't feel like dwelling further on it by trrying to find out what version that is, i hope you understand and just to put you in the proper frame of mind, let me tell you that i am 70 and at times the excess info becomes at times a bit overwhelming, i try to keep up but not been very versed in programming it becomes at times a bit hard
thanks so so much for your time and i hope we can find the root of this

Thats not correct. If you The bundled part is correct, but the active part is missing. It should also say 46 app_process bundled and 42 xposedbridge.jar.
Are you sure it has root acces? Check Supersu. And you start with an absolute fresh rom? No backups restored from any app etc.
Can you post the log of Xposed here? After you installed the framework you can go to the main menu of Xposed and there is the log.

first off, thank you for the effort, truly appreciated
second, checked su and xposed is listed
third the version that came with arrow v11. is 2.3.1
fourth i went thru every single option in xposed and can't find the log. in a previous rom i remember seeing it, but in this one i have framework, modules, download, settings, about, under settings there's only the option to allow downloads, and under framework if i allow the install which brings in the actual modules numbers under the active column and reboot at this point i get the system ui stop error and have to uninstall it in order to get the status bar back on the screen
matter of fact y'day i downloaded the new arrow v11 and before installing it i did a wipe system and the rom install does the wipe cache, and dalvik so we're starting with a fully clean slate, even further in previous custom roms install i went even further by doing a full system reset
nothing helps, i always wind up with the same system ui stop. i returns my apps with a titanium apps restore after wiping the user data erase.
i must must be doing somthing wrong or must have a setting somewhere else that is interfering with xposed, i have in dev pate the msaa ticked and the turn off hardware overlays also ticked. those are the ONLY AND ONLY settings that i have outside the apex basic drawers settings.
thanks so much for your help, also let me know how i can locate the log in the actual physical location in the drive, not only just be able to read it

I was having the same issue using the Stock Launcher on GPE 4.4 android. Using another launcher I didn't get the issue. You might want to disable all modules and reboot to see if the issue goes away, then enable one by one to see what module is causing the issue.

hi and thank you so much for resolving the mystery
i was hung up on using Apex and decided to remove Apex and used Nova, and followed your advice. and lo and behold i can activate Xposed and started by activating Wanam and still no problem then i checked the 3 dots and here i got the System UI stopped error, unchecked it and problem gone so it was the 3 dots.
i don't know if also the 3 dots were causing the problem in combination with Apex, but funny story with Apex even though i got the system ui stopped error, which in theory would cause the complete disactivation of all the modules, the 3 dots module DID work WITHOUT the xposed being activated. i am no planning to go back to apex to check the 3 dots thing, not by a million shot.
also nova does not by itself give the transparent system bar option, i found another module that give that option, so i am finally putting that baby to rest and move on.

hi and thank you so much for resolving the mystery
i was hung up on using Apex and decided to remove Apex and used Nova, and followed your advice. and lo and behold i can activate Xposed and started by activating Wanam and still no problem then i checked the 3 dots and here i got the System UI stopped error, unchecked it and problem gone so it was the 3 dots.
i don't know if also the 3 dots were causing the problem in combination with Apex, but funny story with Apex even though i got the system ui stopped error, which in theory would cause the complete disactivation of all the modules, the 3 dots module DID work WITHOUT the xposed being activated. i am no planning to go back to apex to check the 3 dots thing, not by a million shot.
also nova does not by itself give the transparent system bar option, i found another module that give that option, so i am finally putting that baby to rest and move on.
thank you so much for coming with the PERFECT ADVICE that really made my day, truly very very much appreciated

I'm a noob to my s4. I was flashing daily on my s2 and weekly on my note 2. It's easier when you have a custom recovery and the stock rom as backup. And since there are no custom recoveries for our s4 I don't want to take the risk of flashing addons. Apk's I don't mind.

i've tried ALL CUSTOM ROMS everysingle one of them causes the same error, somehow the size of the screen grows TALLER and there is no space left for the status bar.
something causes the screen size to enlarge, is there a spec in the developer page that may cause this?
anyone, thanks

System UI Permacrashed (systemui tuner)

I screwed up pretty bad. Every since i started using System UI tuner (the app) any changes to the phone like changing resolution and stuff would cause SystemUI to close down and the phone had to be restarted, but it was fine because it worked after the restart. Earlier today i put it into maximum power saving mode and it crashed the same way but every time i restart it shows the "SystemUI has closed" right as the phone boots up and i have a black screen and i can only turn off or restart.
The creator of the tuner app had 3 solutions to this problem. a simple restart , which didnt work
The second was solution was to input something using the adb but adb never connects because Maximum power saving mode disables Usb Debugging (fml..)
And the third one was to send him some file on ur phone and he'd send u back a fixed one but thats prob not gonna work cause i cant usb transfer anything onto it anyways.
I tried backing up using TWRP , wiping everything and restoring but the same issue happens
Is there anything i can do other than a complete wipe? Like is there maybe any way to uninstall or remove the SystemUI tuner with TWRP. or maybe put myself out of maximum power saving mode or something like that? Please help..
From twrp you should be able to navigate to data/app and delete the app from there. Long shot but might worth the try.
Use Safe Mode to uninstall SystemUI Tuner
Same thing happened to me on S8+
It would go straight to a black desktop and I could pull down notifications and use the nav keys at the bottom but couldn't do anything else.
Eventually I noticed the little message come up like you mentioned and realized it was related to SystemUI Tuner so I started in Safe Mode and uninstalled the app.
Once uninstalled the issue went away. I ended up reinstalling and use SystemUI Tuner but I am more careful and I know what to do if that happens again. Maybe if Samsung didn't remove so much and lock down the rest we wouldn't have to do this just to use a built in android feature.
have you found a solution to your problem? the same thing just happened to me today :crying:

Thanks but non of those works since adb is disabled in ultra power saving mode
Go to TWRP and restore from your backup
Flash a new ROm, or the stock ROM
Go to TWRP, open a shell and run the same command as adb.

Factory reset will fix it too. Don't use systemui turner without adb on its dangerous

[HELP] Force close with substratum, unusable phone

So my father decided to update with substratum enabled and now we get SystemUI FC every time and can't use the phone.
No rooted, no custom recovery, no nothing. Is there any way of removing the overlays without wiping data?
Thanks.

You can try going to Safe Mode:
1. Reboot your device
2. Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
3. You are now in Safe Mode
4. Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall
I'm afraid it makes no difference

OK, I read this 'tutorial' here on XDA. Have not tried myself but see if it helps. If it works please report back. It would be nice to known for future reference:
How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
1. Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
2. Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
3. While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
4. Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
5. Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
6. Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
7. Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
8. Uninstall the overlay app.
Can't check the agreement with th fc window all the time, any trick for that?
