Hi Guys,
I recently installed Pure messenger widget off the marketplace. It runs fine most of the time but sometimes when I click on one of the updates, it causes the status bar to force close.
Most of the time the status bar will restart itself but sometimes this does not occur. Is there a way to restart the status bar without having to reboot?

I see this sometimes (but not since I updated to N94). There's an app called "Notification Restart" which doesn't really work like you'd want it to, but it beats rebooting.
If it happens like I've seen it happen then its usually because I haven't rebooted in a couple days. So before I set it down for awhile ill just select reboot and walk away. Then when I come back its ready to go.
Has anyone found a fix for this? I get a Status Bar FC on startup, and it never fixes itself.
I am using the stock ADW launcher, but I have altered the screen density. Could that be it?
It doesn't look like they gonna fix it at all.
This is a very irritated.
Darn. I installed CM7.1 and it FC'd a few times... Then after I altered the density it has not made it past the FC at all in the last 10+ restarts. I might try to reflash CM7.1 just to make sure something didn't go wrong. What a pain.
Also, I tried the tricks that were mentioned about manually restarting the service, using the Notification Restart app, toggling the status bar hide/show option, nothing seems to bring it back up.

What worked for me was getting a pure Sandisk class 4 sd card. I had a class 4 by lexmark before, but would get random fc's on systemui which would make my bar go away.
Now I'm on a 16 gb Sandisk Class 4 and haven't had any fc's since.

Hey guys, I used to have the same issue (happened sometimes with some apps, and always after an LCD density change). What fixed it for me was running "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Run it and restart, and hopefully it'll fix it (it did in my case).
Hope that helps.

Hi all. I've just been wondering... has anyone else besides me ran into countless problems using the Nexus Launcher/Launcher2 on their phone? I'm running Fresh 2.0d with the included .apk, and here are some bugs I've found:
Unresponsiveness
Screen turns black and stays black requiring a battery pull
Launcher will launch without displaying icons in the menu
Now, it is not only Flipz's ROM that has these problems either... it is EVERY ROM I've tried. I'm sure most of you will tell me to use Helix Launcher. I have tried it, but it doesn't have the same feel that the Nexus Launcher has.
Has anyone found a fix for these stability issues? If not, I'd like to start a project so we can get this working, because I'm sure it's completely possible. After all, Flipz was able to get the 2.1 lockscreen working!

I am running fresh2.0d and stock screen turns black and needs battery pull when I use camera app and hit back button or any button.
Launcher has been pretty responsive except here and there....
I do get to the mode where no icons on home screen for few seconds at times but it recovers pretty soon....
As far as the lock screen, I ran in to an issue while my corporate policy forced me to assign lock/unlock password! Soon I enable password and lock, phone stops responding!!! I have to either pull the battery or issue reboot command via prompt!!!
I hope this helps.... I am not a developer though....
I have been disappointed by the nexus launcher's performance as well.
The black screen requiring a reboot (or if you hold home and happen to have settings in the app switch menu you can force kill it and restart it) is a common occurrence with seemingly no pattern. Sometimes it after a long browsing session, other times its happens after deleting a single e-mail message and returning to the main screen. The only consistent way to make it happen is to hit back after launching camera from the app drawer.
Ive also noticed in every rom with launcher, that when coming out of the launch screen the app shortcuts and widgets on the home screen don't load instantly. Almost as if the launcher was killed while it was asleep and when unlocking it, it is reloaded.
It's disappointing because as you said, while helixlauncher is an OK alternative, nothing else has quite the same feel as nexus launcher. Unfortunately I think it will take a good bit of modification to make it a perfect match with the hero and I have absolutely 0 idea where to even begin .
Flipz, if you ever read this, could you offer some insight on this? You've worked your magic on the 2.1 lockscreen
The only rom i had it running great on was Darchlegend v4.1 i think it was, i finally said forget it and started using helix
Every one i have tried has been buggy as well. Things mught improve once we get the hero 2.1 source. Or once google decouples them.
I love the Rom, but there is only one major issue for me. My notification bar is completely missing. I cant live without it because I cant mount my SD card. It comes up before I do an advanced restore of my data, but once I reboot to get all my data back. I lose my notification bar. If anyone has any sort of fix, please post. I will love you forever. K thanks, by.
Try The App "Notification Restart"
That solved some notification bar issues for me. Also go into the cyanogen mod settings and disable the notification bar, reboot then enable again, if the first method does not solve the issue.
I've been enjoying Phiremod, but managed to hide the status bar in one app (iSilo) and can't bring it back with the chosen "unhide" button. It remains stubbornly missing.
Any ideas how to get it back?
The same happens with me with some apps.Though in other works, in some other doesnt.
Only way then is to reboot..

Bummer, it would be nice to see an option to restart it as I have FC issues with it periodically.
Thanks!
A reboot didn't do any good, so I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and that worked.
I won't hide the status bar again, though. *g*
I have been seeing an issue on my Arc S where, after playing something quite memory intensive (such as Draw Something). when I return to the home screen my clock widget is not showing the correct time (see screen shot - note the time in the top-left is different to the widget). It's driving me nuts. Any ideas? Here's what I know:
I have seen this on GB before back when I first got my Arc S in December last year. Again when using a lot of memory (Maps for example). So it isn't necessarily a new issue.
It is much worse since the official release of ICS. I don't remember if this happened on the beta but it's possible I wasn't using my phone to play as many games.
It affects all the clock widgets I've tried. I have tried the supplied analogue clocks, digital clocks and the HTC Sense 4 clock pictured.
Sometimes if I leave the screen on the clock will sort itself out.
Sometimes it stays like this for good until the widget is deleted and re-added.
Sometimes locking the screen for a little while will fix it.
A full reinstall doesn't fix this.
I am now on 4.0.4 (clean install last night) and the issue persists.
I am running the stock ICS kernel with CWM (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591279)
I know of one other user having this issue (and he's on Arconium)
I think this is probably an issue with the Sony Launcher but any suggestions are welcome because it's most annoying that I can't even rely on my clock widget to tell the right time!
I might try the Nexus launcher and see if the problem persists.
So I tried the stock ICS launcher (Launcher2) and the same problem exists.
Perhaps this is a kernel problem.

Your clock widget gets killed due to out of memory when you run heavy applications . See "Running Services" at Settings>Applications. You will notice that the widget is 'restarting'.

So why doesn't it restart properly? Seems odd. Even if the launcher reloads completely the clock stays "stuck".
Guess I'll have to live with it.
I could give SuperCharger a go and try to make the clock widget HTK...
This also happened to me while I was on Gingerbread, and I was unable to find a solution...
P.S. I accidentally pressed thanks button on your last post rec71, LOL
I've looked around but couldn't find anything. I've noticed that when I change my DPI in the build.prop the Google Search bar is gone from the top of the recent app list. I've changed my DPI on every device I've owned, and this is the first time I've noticed this issue.
I've also noticed that once in a while it does appear, but I don't exactly know what's triggering it, and it will disappear the next time I go to the recents menu.
I'm most comfortable at 500 right now. I've tried 520, 480, and 420 (what the N5X is at). Everyone of them seems to have this issue. I really can't stand keeping it at 560.
I did something in the build prop relating to trying to activate multiwindow using "persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true*" but I don't have root. Ever since, my search bar in recents has disappeared.
NOTE: I've tried to reboot into safe mode but things always return back to being abnormal after. I need help or suggestions.
I fixed my problem just by force stopping Google now launcher
Same problem here with a nexus 5x. I've tried reboot to safe mode, clear cache, force stopping google now launcher but nothing happened. This problem is driving me crazy!
I haven't had a search bar in my recents since I got the phone (although I unlocked BL, flashed it to MDB08M and systemless rooted as soon as I got it), haven't found a solution. Any ideas?
Incompatible app
The search bar disappears due to an incompatible app, especially apps which creates widget's. In my case its yatse app causing the search bar to disappear. Identify the app uninstall and reboot.
Turn on Auto-rotate and load some apps in recent apps.Open recent apps.
Now switch to landscape mode and then back again to portrait mode.
