Status Bar Disappeared? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've just recently tried to flash a transparent statusbar on my i95000 XXUAMDL and followed the right procedure but upon restarting the device, I noticed that my status bar/notification bar has disappeared and could not be retrieved even changing Nova settings. My wallpaper has seemed to changed. I also couldn't take a screenshot and neither go to the task manager (holding home button didn't work). All notifications wouldn't make a sound, instead it would just vibrate. I would like to revert back this mistake I did if possible. I would very much appreciate your help, thank you.

Just go ahead and reflash the previous ROM.... to get you SystemUI back... the status bar changes are made in it not other aoks only this one... basically changing it again will give you the status bar back online...

I may sound stupid but how do I flash back to the stock ROM? Since I previously had the stock ROM and I've searched it on Google but there's quite a lot of tutorials and I'm afraid I might screw it all up again and may brick the device.
EDIT: Nevermind! I just flashed some SystemUI I found in some thread and now it's back. Thanks for your help!

Error with SystemUI.apk

I've managed to install a transparent bar on my xperia, after changing permissions to rw-r--r-- and move the systemUI.apk it ended up with an error and i've restarted my phone.
After that, i have infinity loop. How to fix that?
I have backed up the old systemui.apk on my computer, but how to move it back there? >.<

SEUS - I guess the only option unless you can boot it up first. Not sure if there is any recovery exists at them moment. May be that might help.

as my understanding goes on, when you mess up a theme update and you get to a loop, you are probably done and have to re-flash your FW.
If it is force close then you can probably with some hardship put the original back. Did you try to ask the question in related thread?

Nope, i didnt ask yet. If SEUS wont work i'll search up for flash.
Edit: it started downloading, hopefully it will be fixed soon.
I'm so glad i took a backup of everything before i move systemui.apk and i wont lose a single snapshot or file.
I'll edit the thread later
Edit 2:
My phone is now brand new and un-rooted
xD
I'm going to re-root it again, remove bloatware and un-root it. No more playing with system files till a perfected recovery tool.
My heart was beating like crazy
Thanks for the quick answers
You are welcome. Glad to hear that your phone is back

You probably can't brick the phone forever. There is always a solution for it specially for this themeing but always be careful with what you do.
Good luck,

(first post) how do i add menu key

Gday! I was wondering if there are any mods out there that add the menu key permanently just like you can with cyanogen mod. I'm not interested in ROMs as they are giving me a hard time by always boot looping and then me having to fresh install and unlock etc etc. I'm doing just fine with normal zips, though. BTW the kind of menu key I'm talking about is the four line one with a longer line at the top, not the four dots one that opens when developers opt for it. Thanks in advance

Hi there cnamon15! I understand what you are asking for, but I think you can only enable a permanent menu button through a custom rom unfortunately I don't think there is an app that allows you to create a nav bar menu icon (unless someone else knows of one :laugh. If you can't install a custom rom, unfortunately there isn't much out there. Maybe try and load CM or even PA or AOKP again ensuring you do the factory rest, wipe cache and dalvik so that you don't boot loop. Hope that helps
Ahh do you mean I wipe dalvik & cache before? Lol I must be a huge noob. Also i've done so much theming on my phone that it pretty much isn't looking stock anymore. Is there a way I could grab the framework/apk Of the menu thingy from pa or cm or aokp and flash on my stock? I want to keep using stock so I can get updates in a timely manner.

No. You will get into a bootloop. What have you done to your "stock" phone? There are some things that if you change, you will not be eligible to get OTA updates.
Yes it sounds like you may be missing a step in your process of flashing custom roms. First off make a nandroid of your setup now then follow the OP directions to flash a rom which is basically factory reset, flash rom, gapps and reboot. FYI- worrying about staying stock for updates to me in meaningless especially if you are on xda. The updated rom will come in either a form of a stock rooted rom or custom roms but either way you will have it...
Since I wiped my phone I only have Franco kernel and touch sensitivity mod. Most of the other customisations came from apks. I also have changed my navbar theme to something with a reflection
Edit: btw that menu button you see below is from the app!

[Q] LG G2 - Soft Keys / Navigation Bar Dissapeared!

Allright, I've for some days ago rooted my device and I have started customizing it, getting some cool modules and overall cool root programs.
And now heres the problem...
I downloaded Gravity Box and started mixing a bit with the Pie Controls settings, and I managed to somehow delete/remove my Nav bar / soft keys. So I have to use the Pie Controls now, which I really dont like. I have googled a bit and tried to fix it myself but I just cant seem to fix it.
I dont have a clue how to fix this so any helpful replies are welcomed. And yes, I am a noob.

Just dirty flash (flash without wiping any partitions) your current ROM.zip on top and don't fiddle with settings unless you know what they do

Okey, I dont have a special rom, I just have the stock one. However, how do I dirty flash?
I may be wrong but I believe if you just uninstall xposed and gravity box and reboot you SHOULD be good... Im pretty sure. When I uninstall a module it always just un does anything the module was doing and it returns to normal.

Just deactivate the module and reboot. No need to uninstall.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Fixed by just disabling the module, eheheh. :$

LG G2 Marshmallow System UI Bootloop

Hi,
When i wanted to modify the navigation bar to add a new layout, the error "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" appeared and restarted the entire phone's UI, giving that error back and forth and not allowing me to interact with it.
I rebooted the phone hoping that it will get fixed but no luck, it keeps showing that error and i can't even get to the main screen.
I can still access to recovery, but i don't know which file holds the settings for the part i modified.
Can you help me to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Are you using Exodus?
If not, then this is the wrong subforum.

Yes i am, i dont recall the version exactly, but it has to be one of the latest for sure (a friend of mine flashed it on sunday).
In order to modify that navegation bar, i went to settings, swiped to the left and a bar with the Exodus logo appeared, i chose the first option from up to down, then navigation bar.

I'm really sorry I can't help you, not being able to install Exodus (and most other roms, for that matter) on my phone (yet).
What I do know, is that Marshmallow Exodus is still in alpha (perhaps already beta), so it's still not stable.
You should expect bugs of this kind for now.

The easiest thing to do when having problems with a ROM is reflashing it. Hope you enjoy it, sir.
Hi I just flashed this rom and it took sometime loading into it. Can someone please tell me if that is normal cause to me that seems really bad.
Ok

no gestures after update

I have IN2023 latest OTA oxygen OS 11.0.1.1.INI11BA.
After rooting on magisk canary (as well as beta) I can neither enable gestures nor hide the Navbar (in system buttons and gestures). (see picture)
Hold powerbutton to open the menu also doesn't work (it simple turns the power off, changing to google assistant does work)
How to solve this, did I do something wrong or is it a bug?

What modules have you got installed??
I noticed my center clock mod broke gestures too.
Also if you have frozen or uninstalled the OnePlus launcher this too breaks gestures.
Chances are it's a mod that broke it or freezing the OOS launcher..
But then again it's only just came out so who knows what's going on at the moment

Thanks for the reply. The centre clock mod works fine. I use nova launcher and indeed freezing the OOS launcher when switching to it
It all happens before any mod is installed.
Your answer sugests there's a bug in Magisk comparing to the latest OTA

In regards to the centre clock mod no it's due to the apks used not being the most up to date.
In regards to your issue, the only way to find out what it is is to remove modules then try again. If it goes away then install one at a time, obviously unfreeze the OOS launcher too

Maybe you've been to quick: I wrote it happens before any mod is set. It doesn't happen without root. (and everything else is the same)
As long as I'm the only one I have to start from scratch, otherwise I'll wait till a solution is found. (I guess from John Wu)

Oh really??
So you're not running any modules, and no other mods or changes?
Then youre alone with this problem..
It's possible that some modules were left behind before the update. Beyond that I'm not sure buddy, mines working fine unless I make the aforementioned changes.

Bit of a long shot but try this
1. Connect your phone to your computer.
2. Reboot the phone, then during the boot animation have this command ready and run via ADB.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
3. Reboot, cycle the gestures to nav bar and see if it works.
That'll eliminate any left over modules, just incase, even if they're disabled from magisk they can still be left behind, have seen this a few times.
