No matter what I do... no matter what ROM I flash to, and I have tried 4 different ROMs, I keep getting the UI Stops Working error and then my phone is virtually non-functional. The notifications, navigation, and launcher bars go away and I cannot do anything. The only thing that I can do is boot into recovery and then flash a new ROM, BUT I have been doing this a couple times a day.
I even formatted my entire phone, internal storage and all, started completely over AND YET I still get the issue. What can I do???

The only ones that I can think of are the live wallpaper ones, Email Exchange since I don't need it, and face unlock. I also froze the NFC. I wouldn't think that would cause it. I was reading on the internet that the Facebook app can cause it so I deleted the app and we will see.

Here is a thread regarding the issue, but none of the "fixes" worked for me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...0371-unfortunately-system-ui-has-stopped.html
I deleted Facebook so we shall see if that does the trick.
When this happened to me I used Matt's utility option 1... rooted it updated it n made a TiB of everything... now when I tinker n it gets wonky I restore the systemui.apk n reboot... I know you said that you started over does that mean you used rsd and flashed stock... or did you go through a recovery to do the wiping formatting n what not?

Had this happen the other day and this is what I did. I rebooted the phone WHILE HOLDING THE VOLUME DOWN KEY. it boots into safe mode. While in there make a TiBu of your apps. Then boot into recovery and factory data/reset like 3 times, flash back to a ROM and restore your apps. This way you don't lose your stuff.

When I meant started over I was yes referring to the booting to recovery and then wiping/formatting everything, then reflashing a ROM. That works, but I just am nervous now because the issue persists no matter the ROM. Sometimes it takes a day or two or sometimes it happens even quicker than that. I think it might be Facebook so I am not installing that app again. Why FB works on my Nexus 7 tablet and my wife's phone just fine is beyond me.
I didn't know I can make a backup of systemui.apk and restore it to make it work. I wish we could find the main issue to begin with so we can resolve this once-and-for-all.

Yea I backup everything on my external hard drive (that after I back anything up I bubble wrap and put in my fire safe< a bit paranoid) every week, so that if anything happens I can just wipe it clean and start fresh (I have never used rsd lite but I'm guessing its somewhat like option one of Matt's utility) that restores your phone to a moto flashed like state... ready to be sold as a certified like new device (as Verizon would call it)...

Are you mounting system in TWRP, before you wipe data? For some reason, I stopped doing this when I updated to the newer TWRP. There was a thread on here where someone said they mounted prior to wiping and it solved their 4.3 issues. I tried it and it worked for me. I would suggest you try the same.

You could try making a Nandroid and then restoring only the data portion.
It all depends on what the OTA update did to your phone.
Well I'm stuck on the Vibrant Logo screen. Can you tell me how to do that? just restore the data portion?

I had the same problem. I had OCLF on my phone and I had un-lag-fixed and unrooted with it in anticipation of the JI6 update. When I ran the OTA, it bricked my phone anyway. I had to use Odin to get back to stock and that sounds like what you need to do too.
When I Odin'd back to stock, I still had all my videos, photos, and a bunch of files and stuff for apps, but I still needed to reinstall all the apps and redo all the settings/configurations.
oh man cause I used AK Notepad and basically my life is on that. Will those be erased too? and texts?

Odin from stock wipes out the existing applications (and replaces all the bloatware too), so they needed to be reinstalled. Once reinstalled from Market, and reinstalling Titanium Backup, I was able to restore from the /sdcard the backups I had made previously.
There was some work involved with getting the system back to what I had, but I didn't lose any data.

Where are the AKNotepad notes kept? so i can use adb pull to grab them.
I'm back to stock and it didn't erase any if my pictures, music, files, etc. but since I received the update already back when I was rooted, does that mean I won't be getting the update at all anymore? Or do I have to wait again for another roll-out?

How you get back to stock? without losing all those data?
Are you guys just really impatient or something with the update. Mine stayed on the Vibrant screen for a while, but I just let it go and it worked out just fine. Mine was rooted and with the Ryan Lag fix.
I guess there is always the possibility that individual experiences can differ.

On AOKP 4.2.1 the phone app crashes when I receive a call. I've reflashed a fresh downloaded GAPPS on here and it does the same thing. When coming to this ROM I wiped all data and factory reset everything. I've tried that again and it's still doing this. Starting to get on my nerves. Anyone have this problem?

I did a clean install and manually installed all of my apps again. I managed to fix it by dirty flashing the 4.2 version of AOKP. However; my phone still has that random reboot issue. The thing that's odd is, when it comes back online it loses it's settings. So I'll have to setup Google Wallet and Google Voice again. My keyboard goes back to the default AOSP one.
I think I might just RMA this phone and start over. I do love it, and the negatives don't outweigh the positives.
rma? dont.
wipe that thing clean with a factory reset. all your problems will be gone. then, if you like, start trying out roms again.
but bugging lg and nexus because you trashed your phone, thats not so cool. i can kinda understand samsung tries hard to lock their bootloaders sometimes.
links here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jop40d-factory-ca7602f0.tgz
theres a batch file inside, make sure fastboot is around and click it (you must be in fastboot mode aswell). in a couple of seconds youre back to stock.

Um... I had the problem on stock 4.2 as well, factory from Google themselves. It rebooted at random for no reason. I have wiped everything... multiple times. It's still doing it.
same thing happened to me this whole week. I have been flashing custom ROM custom this whole week. People have been texting saying my phone dont work. I called in to re-fresh with TMobile network and still the same thing. I also got a new micro sim card still the same. i have to revert back to stock with root in order for the phone calls to work. i have been searching for a fix.

I thought it was the MicroSIM too - I got a brand new one with them, but nope - it's been all strange. Do you have 4.2 Stock rooted anywhere? I can only seem to find 4.2.1. I just wiped everything, restored factory etc etc and threw stock 4.2.1 on here, got the reboot issue. Phone has been working lately finally. I had to dirty flash AOKP 4.2.1 build-1 over build-2.

I think i know what happened. This is a very strange bug but it happens once in a while.
Whenever you flash gapps or flash the stock rom your phone boots up into a setup mode which blocks alot of things and limits itself . Once your all done with the setup your phone then changes a file in the system or deletes it that keeps the phone from going into setup mode again. Your phone seems to be in this so called setup mode because the home button doesnt work, only power off option, and no notifications, this is the behavior of the setup. Your phone might have changed that file or replaced it.
I dont think a factory reset will help anything as its in the system, i might be wrong but you should try it first and if you cant get it to work then just flash stock again. This has happened to me a few times before and i have resolved it by just reflashing the stock rom. Im not sure what the cause is but i guess its just a random chance that you get this.
Also no you dont loose root if you factory reset.
That is a strange bug I've never heard of that you may be right but a factory reset should force him to go through set up again which could fix that. I didn't suggest re flashing since he stated he didn't have a custom recovery.

I appreciate both tips.
I am trying a factory reset this afternoon.
After that i am going to post a feedback right here.
Thanks.
Okay, so I was listening to a YouTube video via Popup Browser BETA. When the song finished, I tried closing the window, but it wouldn't let me interact with the window. Not sure why. I just figured since the app was in beta it was just confused, so I went to the settings->running applications->I force closed the app. But for some reason, the little window still wouldn't go away. So I decided to reboot my device. Bad idea, apparently...
Now whenever I boot up my phone it'll vibrate, display the Google logo for a few seconds, and then... it goes to a blank black screen. Not a clue why. I've tried:
- Leaving it to charge and rebooting
- Leaving it in the blank black screen
- Booting into recovery, then trying to reboot the device from there
- Clearing cache partition
Nothing works. I still can't boot up my phone again.
I'm running Slimbean 4.2.1 (not the latest version). There really isn't anything that might have triggered this. I can still charge my phone (the charging animation still occurs) and I can still go into CWM Recovery. I'd really rather not have to install a new ROM or anything... but if I have to, is there a way to extract the data I have on my phone now while in recovery or something?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: This has been FIXED. Moderators, if you see this, you can close this thread. If anyone else has this problem, try reflashing your current version of your ROM, that's how I fixed mine. I'm not responsible for damage to your device.

I've not got enough free space on my phone I don't think (it's only 16GB, I got about 2GB free).
Unless I'm mistaken the backup will take more than that, yes? Considering I've got a few games apps that probably equate to about 4GB.

Reflash the same version you were running before this accident, as the newest version requires clean flash. If you want to run the latest version and have your data back, reflash the same version you were running before, then backup your data, wipe phone, flash the latest version and restore your data

WOO! Thanks a lot! Booted up perfectly, and no loss of data or anything like that. Only odd things is it seems to have changed my DPI... but I can change that easily so it's not really a bother. It also made me have to update the Virus Definitions on Avast!, not sure why either.
I shall now proceed to thank all of your posts.

Yes either that or perhaps switch to a new one, I've been with semi-stock Android for quite a while now I'm really liking the port of MIUI V5...
Hey guys, any help would be appreciated!
Alright, I will try to explain it simply and clean. Basically, the thing is when I first got my LG G2 (kitkat), I rooted it and installed some mods. One of them was G2 tweaksbox xposed module. With that module, you can hide "clear all" and "task manager" button from recents. But the thing is, after I re-flashed my ROM (absolutely full wipe, nothing left), weird thing happened since. You all know that animation when going to recents from an app in jelly bean and kitkat and now, it's kinda bugged. The animation is a little bit off graphically. Basically, the animation reads navigation bar like it's a little bit bigger than it should be and it looks kinda weird, like it first goes a little bit more bottom and gets back up making it look graphically bad. Everything shows that nav bar is stock size, even tried many mods that make it stock and yeah, basically it is stock but even some apps still read it like it's wrong. That animation is fixable if I hide that buttons in recents again, but it bugs me that even after 3 months of MANY wipes and all the crap it's still like that, I just can't make it fully stock if I would want to.
So my question is, is something from xposed or anything like that left in phone even after going through FULL wipes many, many, like maaany times? Did I miss something? If so, can I do something like manual cleaning so phone will finally be 100% stock again? I call it "memory effect", sort of like phone still reads it like there's an xposed module partially and it just can't get a rid of that.
So, I would really appreciate if you read this fully and try to help me. Thanks!

Well, yeah. I wiped like everything, dude. Wiped from TWRP, then flashed .kdz with CSE. Everything is stock except that.

Yeah, that's how bad my situation is. I just can't understand what the hell is happening with this phone. I waited for it like for 6 months and never enjoyed it once.
If you use Odin to return to stock, that will wipe your entire phone completely. It will wipe your internal storage, and all partitions. It works on the d800, and I don't see why it wouldn't work for your phone.

If you have an OTG cable or drive with ROM and gapps files plugged in to your g2 there is an option to format the phone in TWRP.
But you must have ALL the files needed to flash the new ROM.

It's not like it doesn't work, it's like it works, it wipes everything, but the system is still reading like xposed is there, so what I understood is that full wipe isn't really a full wipe after all.

OTG? What do you mean by that? Does that thing cleans the device different way?
On The Go ,allows additional storage to be connected to our phones like an external hard drive

Can't you go back to stock without root and start over?

As I already mentioned, I tried that. I tried all the wiping methods possible.
When you format in TWRP it gives you a clean start, with all the files on the OTG it gives an almost new device feel.

Sorry, per your post I was thinking you tried only the Recovery TWRP Wipes. Not reinstalling the stock rom.
In this case I have no idea, sorry =(

So that means it's different from normal wiping/stock ROM installing?
