[HELP] "process status bar has stopped..." - flashed framework-res.apk

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.

Messed up Settings app

Hi,
I'm going crazy ever since I factory reset my S5 Duos after getting stuck in a bootloop. My Settings app seems to have become totally different and I don't know how to fix it. I've
- lost two tabs (the Quick Settings and the Applications tabs)
- and the Menu (three dots)
- plus the Status Bar now sits transparently on top of the app (not the app below it) .
- The search bar is in a different place and
- some settings options are missing (e.g. Printing)
- one of the icons is too large (Download Booster) though I suspect a themeing error for that one).
Now I have reloaded one heck of a lot of apps (>300) and xposed modules plus trialled others then unistalled them so it may not be the factory reset per se. I do recall a recent OTA Security Update too (I think it was). Would that account for anything?
I've tried Googling but get swamped with too many generic topics. I've reset my theme to default and deselected all xposed modules and rebooted. No effect on the Settings errors (even the overly large icon)
Anyone shed some light on any of the above? Help would be greatly appreciated. I'll post some screen shots to aid in recognizing what's happened (pre reset shot.. actually a shot of my S5 not my S5 Duos but the two were the same bar Dual SIM options…. a current screen shot showing the problems and a crop of my status bar from my homescreen to help pick out the overlapping error which .only appears with Settings (no other app)).

That does not look stock so I'd suggest reflashing stock, a factory reset is not sufficient for a reflash.

Thanks for your reply Rakuu.
I'm really hoping to avoid a full reflash having just done a factory reset last month and full reinstallation of everything. My ROM is stock (I'm just a heavy themer).
One option may be for me to get hold of a stock apk for Settings if someone with a S5 Duos would extract it and PM it to me. In the interim, I'll look at extracting my own from the factory reset partition (if that is possible… I'm quite a noob on Android after many years here on the WM side… even as far back as the old XDAs!).
That would at least eliminate anything I may have loaded then uninstalled leaving behind the mess. Keep your fingers crossed for me. .

There is no "factory reset partition", factory resetting doesn't flash anything, it wipes /data and /cache, if you brick factory resetting won't do anything, you will still be bricked.

Hi Rakuu,
Thanks for that insight. Greatly appreciated. It all adds to the personal knowledge base and big thanks to you for your time in replying
So back to my options:
-stick with what I have
-flash a new ROM
-install a new Settings apk if I can source an appropriate one
-live in hope of additional solution

You *might* find the stock settings app in one of the zips in this thread......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3286441
(I can't remember if I included it or not, but it should be there)
For info.....The included apps were ripped from a stock 4.4.2 firmware.....
Edit.....If I included them (there are 2 possibilities....Sec Settings apk and Sec Settings Provider apk) they'll be in the 'SystemPrivApp' zip as that is their location in the firmware.....
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Hi KR39,
I appreciate your reply. I'll head off there and investigate. Just a double check first, this is re S5 Duos not merely the S5? I'm just cautious esp as XDA doesn't seem to have an S5 Duos forum… I guess we are a rare breed!
M1

Duos? As in dual sim card?
I don't *think* that'll make a difference unless there's a specific section of the settings that deals with the sim cards.....it's certainly not present in the archived app if that is the case.....
What *might* be more critical is what version of Android your device is running as Samsung might have changed critical areas of the Touchwiz framework between 4.4.2 and 5.0.0 (bearing in mind the changeover to 'Material Design').......
If you do try this, make a backup of everything first.
Make sure to delete/remove the original settings app AND the associated ODEX file when you copy the new settings app into the priv-app folder.
Also don't forget to set the correct permissions for the freshly copied app.
And then REBOOT the device in order for the new app to become active......
It may be that none of this works, in which case the only option may very well be to odin flash back to full stock.
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Yes Duos as in dual SIM hence my pics show two sig strengths (bar the one I state is a shot from my S5 not my S5 Duos).
Ergo I wouldn't wish to flash anything not for the Duos (sorry folks I can't find an S5 Duos xda forum and an S5 is closest). So yes, the Settings app includes dual sim specific options.
Ok, so, so far, yes dual sim, yes need dual sim settings app and I need to educate myself re Odex or non-odex.
Overview so far… I'm not looking to get more complex… just a quick fix.
M1

It's looking like you're going to have to use Titanium Backup (or similar) to.....
1) backup everything you need.
2) make a recovery flashable zip (using TiBu) of that backup.
Then....
3) Odin flash back to full stock
4) re-root and flash a custom recovery, then use that recovery to...
5) flash the 'backup' zip to return your device to +/-90% the way it was before you started.....
I would leave the xposed mods and modules entirely out of that backup just in case it was one of them that caused the problems....you can always apply them individually and manually after you have your device up and running again.
The backup or update zip should just contain the playstore apps and their associated data......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Thanks KR, my issues while irritating aren't major enough for me to reflash my whole set up just yet (I may wait until CM13 is out of nightly beta only and xposed modules are fully MM compatible before I finally leave KK 4.4.2 behind). Thanks for your step process it'll be useful when I do change as I'll do it in steps as an educational process.
In the interim I'll rummage through my Ti backups and see if I can simply restore the settings app from there in isolation… might that work do you think?
Regards M1

Very good question.....to the best of my knowledge and limited TiBu experience, it will *definitely* back up (and restore) user installed playstore apps.....but I'm doubtful about system apps......
I've created update zips using TiBu in the past, and just out of interest, I've extracted them.....having done this, I've discovered that all my user apps are included inside the zip as actual app files, but I've *never* come across a system app......
My best guess is that when TiBu backs up apps, it does it in two ways.....
For user apps, it creates a backup of the app itself as well as it's data, but for system apps, it is only able to back up the data (anybody reading this, please correct me if I'm wrong).......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Yep my Ti backs up sys apps (option under backup setting preferences). Sadly I'd only got 1 back up as max history setting and that Settings apk resulted in the same view. Hayho… back to creative thinking. Next level is to hope another Duos user can extract the Settings apk for me (if 4.4.2) and send it to me… anyone out there?

Good luck fella....sorry I can't help out on that one......
Have you tried downloading the correct firmware from Sammobile or Samsung-updates and extracting it from that?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg

Hi KR,
Both great suggestions and gives me plenty of new scope to explore this. I'll also look into simply editing what I've currently got (extract, decompile, edit, recompile etc) as per:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184207
Your time and help has been much appreciated.
All the best Mallow1

Google Keyboard (Gboard) Disappears

I'm not sure what happened, but my Google Keyboard seems to have disappeared. Google Keyboard is not showing as an option under "Keyboard & input methods". I have Flesky and Swiftkey, so I'm getting by, but I don't know how to get it working. Gboard shows under Apps, and I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, force stop, and uninstall/reinstall, but it still doesn't appear as an option to use as a keyboard. How can I rectify this? Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution.

Google keyboard is replaced by Gboard but I think you already knew that. Also if you are on a custom ROM flash Gapps again. Gboard will appear on input options. If not maybe you have factory reset or wait for the app to be updated again .
PS did you reboot after clearing cache?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not rooted and therefore don't have a custom ROM, just the one that came with the device, so therefore I can't really flash anything. I went into recovery mode and did a cache wipe there, which, of course, requires reboot, to no avail. I'll wait to see if an update comes out soon and will live with 3rd party keyboards in the meantime. For what it's worth, I've included screen shots showing that Gboard is showing as an app but is not showing as an available keyboard. When I click "Current Keyboard", my only options are Flesky and Swiftkey.
The reply is appreciated.

Sorry to hear. If you do manage to get it fixed please reply to this thread. Thanks. I am on 7.0 and Gboard is running fine.

Update: I finally got Gboard back. I tried a number of things, including a manual download and install of the apk. I decided to try Slash keyboard, and, when I installed it, I was taken to the screen to enable it, and, voila', Gboard shows up with an enable option. I don't know what happened, but it's working now.

Actually, in your second screenshot, if you tap on "Current Keyboard" there will be a button to choose keyboard. If you press that, it will bring you to the screen where you can enable/disable keyboards. That's probably why Gboard was hidden.

Yep. Not intuitive to me, but you're correct. I thought "Current Keyboard" was just a prompt to select one from the pop-up window. Often the answers are simple if you know where to look. Thanks! :good:

No worries! They changed the menu structure in Nougat so it's more intuitive now.

Probably off topic but does anyone else not like the update they did to the keyboard? No way to remove that search menu row? I have never used the suggestions and wished I could remove it.

It removes the search G but still keeps the row there. See attachment.

Hey everyone.
Lastnight I installed, an android 7.0 custom rom to my tab pro 10.1. I used TWRP to flash install the ROM when it installed it automatically rebooted my device before I could go on to Gapps and install them with the the ROM. So when the ROM loaded up I connected to my hub (using the keyboards) then had a look at the new OS and the wife had a look out of interest with me and everything was working well in fact it was quicker than it was when we got it brand new.
Then playtime over rebooted back into TWRP and flashed Gapps. Then it rebooted again. When it finally loaded back in I was met with a loading screen saying Android is Starting which wouldn't go away but it asked me to sign back on to the Hub so went to do this on problem was.....no Keyboard.....so I managed to get into my setting through quick menu settings and find input settings and there is no keyboard installed to the device...it asked me to add one but I can't because I can't type and even if I could the android is starting message is still going.
Please help I am new to this and I want to learn all this type of thing but I am completely puzzled on what to do. I tried clear chase and data and even tried factory reset.....tried installing gapps on twice (before the factory reset) and nothing was working.
I am tough to use odin to flash it back to standard rom and start again but I could do with some pointers with what i have done wrong.
Thanks people

You may wish to ask over in the Galaxy Tab Pro forums at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8 - you've somehow wandered into the Moto G4 forums
But as a very general suggestion - sounds like your GApps isn't happy with your custom ROM. You may have to clean flash your custom ROM again and verify that the GApps you're flashing is suitable for your device/custom ROM.

I agree with you I have just download the same rom and a stock gapps and I had the same message and again with no keyboard.....agian. Difference this time I haven't rushed to do a factory reset and gone back and reflashed the android 7.0 rom and I am back working again with keyboard but no google apps.
Is there a way of installing them a different way, only 2 google apps I use is play store and gmail. I have tried installing a google play store and play services apk but doesn't work. It goes to load and then just stops.....feels like I need a list of apps to get them going.
Hope someone can help

I worked out my problem with Gapps, "android is starting messages" and no keyboard.
1. I needed to wipe my cache, data and davarlik (whatever it says....looks like darlik to me...lol) before and after.
2. Like fella before said my ROM didn't like the Gapps package I had downloaded, so everytime I had the android message I went back on to TWRP and restored back to the orginal point where the lineage ROM worked, then went back on to the net and installed the next Gapps package and repeated till I found a package that worked......that package was the "Micro" package.
Any google apps I was missing I simply just downloaded them via the playstore after.
I realise this is a moto G forum but I find that sometimes you need to go other places to find answers and I had originally looked in the samsung Tab Pro 10.1 forum section and couldn't find anything similar to my problem this fella at the beginning of the thread was the closest to my problem I could fine.
Hope this helps

Rooting Galaxy s7 edge (SM-G935F) nougat causes black camera with crash.

Hi!
I rooted my galaxy s7 edge that had stock version of android 7 (nougat) on it using this tutorial: http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-root-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge-on-nougat-g935fxxu1dplt/. Now when I open built-in camera app it shows me a black screen for few seconds and then it says "Camera has stopped" and it offers me to "Open app again" and "send feedback" And it keeps happening over and over again.
Lemma: The reason is rooting.
Proof: Camera app worked perfectly. After I rooted my phone it started to crash like I described above. Then I tried to force quit camera app and delete it's cache/data. It did not help. After that I wiped entire cache partition. Still no help. After that I wiped all partitions except system. That did not work either. Then I re-flashed unmodified original stock ROM. Then camera worked perfectly again. Then again I rooted my phone the using tutorial I linked above. And again exactly the same issue. Camera app show black screen for few seconds and then crashes with exact same error message. ∎
Does anyone know fix for that? And why it happens? Is it some kind of samsung's anti-root thing that prevent camera fromworking on rooted phones or what?
Update [SOLUTION]:
In case someone else has same problem.
My solution was to skip restarts in TWRP steps. No restart between format and installing packages. Restart once when everything in TWRP part is done.

Root doesn't break your camera
I just Rooted my G935F that had Nougat as official firmware and had zero problems with the camera.

And how do you explain that after I flashed original rom back, camera started working again?
And finally, how do you explain that after rooting 2nd time the camera again started to show black screen and crash?
I have done nothing else than rooting. I have not added any custom mods or anything. For me it starts working again every time I flash original stock rom and shows that black screen and gives error every time I root it.
I downloaded original firmware from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F/ (I chose baltic (only 1 occurrence in the table))
Maybe that specific tutorial I linked is bad one? Could anyone check that?

Rooted my G935F and no problems here for me.
I suggest you follow the tutorial here on xda and try again.

Could you post link to tutorial please? Then I could be sure I used the same tutorial as you did.
PS! Now I also noticed that with rooting I lost auto brightness adjusting and also manually changing brightness didnt do anything. Right now I am back on un-rooted rom because I need camera functionality to work. But would love to get it rooted. Is there any info on cf-auto-root and android 7 yet?

A simple search here you'll find all you need. You are the only person I've ever read of that had camera problems like you've stated after Root. Again rooting won't break your camera.
I've Odin to stock literally hundreds of times testing Rom/Mods/themes as a tester for several teams from my s3 up to and including my G935F.
I've also flashed every Rom available for the G935F and the only ones with camera problems are the Lineage or AOSP Roms which more than likely are kernel related. Start here https://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Then this
Here's one

How can you be so sure if you didnt even answer these? Just because it worked for you doesnt mean it works for all. Looks like you dont even try to read what I write. You just read the title of topic and then jump to comment with out even reading the content of post itself...
I have done nothing else than rooting. I have not added any custom mods or anything. For me it starts working again every time I flash original stock rom and shows that black screen and gives error every time I root it.
Also, posting some specific link rather than general starting point would help to guarantee that I use right tutorial for rooting. From these links you posted I didnt find any specific tutorial. I did search and dig these links, but I didnt find any specific tutorials. All I found was some tools and some roms. But cf-auto-root works for android 6 but I have 7 on my phone so I cant use that and I did not find any rooting tutorials on this forums.
Edit: I have also tried this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084 . The same issue. The camera stops working after that.

But cf-auto-root works for android 6 but I have 7 on my phone so I cant use that and I did not find any rooting tutorials on this forums.
Edit: I have also tried this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084 . The same issue. The camera stops working after that.

Ok here is what you need to do.
Download a logcat app and get a logcat of it forceclosing.
I can't magically look in your device and see what, if anything is wrong.
As far as you saying you've searched well if you really did you would've found several tutorials.
How do I know?? Because I've used them myself.
It took me less than 5 minutes to root my new G935F using the TWRP Guide here on XDA
You seem to be the only one in hundreds that's claiming root broke your camera.
Provide a logcat in the Q&A and maybe a dev can help you.

But then how do you explain that before rooting camera worked and after rooting it didnt work?
And how do you explain that after I flashed original rom back, camera started working again?
And finally, how do you explain that after rooting 2nd time the camera again started to show black screen and crash?
How can you be so sure if you didnt even answer these? Just because it worked for you doesnt mean it works for all. Looks like you dont even try to read what I write. You just read the title of topic and then jump to comment with out even reading the content of post itself...
I have done nothing else than rooting. I have not added any custom mods or anything. For me it starts working again every time I flash original stock rom and shows that black screen and gives error every time I root it.

You could try to reset your settings

Same issue on smg935w8 lost camera and screen brightness. Also can't mount micro sd... we're you able to fix? I thought it was a bad root then I re flashed and the issue came back...twrp 3.1.0 supersu 2.79 and no verity 5.1
---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
im re flashing stock and tomorrow ill redo twrp and super su and skip dm verity patch think that might be the issue as it worked before for me last week and i then messed up by turning dev mode off and disabling oem and when i reflashed after that i have been flashing the dm verity patch....
give that a try if your still having issues

had similar issue, my camera app keeps crashing, i went to settings, applications then cleared cache after stopping it, i hope that will fix your camera too

Thanks I've tried clearing cache for everything no luck. I originally thought it was because I might have deleted a system app with titanium but when I reflashed it all (firmware,tarp,supersu,no small verity disable 5.1) I still had the issue.
Lastnight I wiped and flashed the entire firmware. Everything works. Tonight I'm goi g to try and only flash twrp then supersu as I only want root. Hopefully that fixes my issues.
OP have your issues been resolved?
I'll let you know once I get it working on mine and we'll get you sorted out. I believe it's something with the steps or order as I had root fine for a day then had to reflash due to messing around and didn't do it my original way and that caused my issues.

flashed twrp 3.1.0 from odin with auto reboot off.
then booted to twrp. swiped right to mount system,
wipe data(format data) type yes.
mount microsd as mtp copy supersu 2.79 over if its not already on you microsd card.
else just install it from zip
cleared cache/delvik
rebooted to system
log in and setup everything and restore
camera and auto brightness...stilll doesnt work.

ok so after multiple tries to fix this (flash stock) everything works,, root and it breaks tried clearing all cache in system and twrp no difference... then i loaded phone info and used the secret codes to find out that my camera firmware is not installed....so im trying Flashfire to reflash the AP only while injecting supersu and maintaining root.... it is just booting up.....and OMG!!!!it works!!!!
so....for some reason...firmware was corrupting..... no clue why tired multiple methods and nothing... and im not a noob either.....
what finallllllllly worked was.... flash your rom and get root how you would normally. camera/auto brightness/and mounting usb doesnt work....boot to twrp. get your ap md5 file on your internal storage
reboot to system,. get flashfire from playstore or chainfires website
install and then click the + select firmware and select the tar file
only install system....uncheck boot and cp
then in the everroot select injject supersu, preserve recovery
and flash.... it will start flshing and boot to syteem once done..
everything is working nice
finalllyyyy!!!!
hope this can atleast help OP
no clue why i was losing firmware on the flashes

@unit68 Tnx for sharing. This time I got camera and brightness adjustment work out of box. But if in any point of time I happen to need your tutorial, I'll give it a try and let you know.
I am not sure if it is by chance or not but what I did differently this time was:
1) I paid attention to step where it asked to disable auto reboot (can anyone explain why?)
Previously I thought it shouldnt matter so I kept auto reboot for convenience.
2) I did format data, install no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0 and SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815 and wipe dalvik cache with out rebooting between (Anyone know if that matters?).
Previously I had done it: format - reboot - install no enc - wipe dalvik cache- reboot - install super su - wipe dalvik cache - reboot .
Now I did it format - intall no enc - install super su - wipe dalvik cache - reboot.
I'll see for few days if anything else comes up or if camera breaks down again. Btw @unit68 what happens when you try some bloatware remover that run with root access? Do you get rid of bloatware or not? I tried few of them such as no bloat for example. Some complain that uninstall failed some seem to uninstall the app but when they reload app the app is still there and it's also still in app menu. Just curious if you have the same same issue. And is it safe to delete apk file manually? Or would it cause phone to crash/boot loop? When I ran supersu it complained about knox and asked me to disable it but it never managed to (however root checker tells me I am root). Maybe knox is protecting bloatware? Any ideas?

Flash your able too get it working! It was soooo frustrating. So for Knox supersu asks to disable then seems to hang so I go about my business reopen supersu it'll ask again and then is successful.
To remove bloat I normally just go to titanium and remove the ones I don't want
No issues on that and all my apps that require root work fine (titanium,adaway, flashfire)

This time disabling knox worked too... It turned out that all 3 apps that I used were note able to remove bloatware. App you named worked and also ROM toolbox lite works.
Btw when I google bloatware, the lists are incomplete.... Do you happen to know list of apps that must not be uninstalled? I guess white list would be better idea than black list.
Is installing/uninstalling app same as removing/adding apk files? So that I could cut and paste everything expect file manager and launcher to usb memory stick and then start adding required apps back one by one?

ive seen some samsung debloating software around. i honestly just remove stuff based on manually debloating for last fewyears. if i dont know what theapp is for i google it to see if its ok to remove. normally i remove samsung knox, few other samsung apps, some google apps (music, games, videio), briefings some edge panels, live wallpaper, and carrier branding apps(for me rogers) stuff like that. if you are going to i recommend you do a backup first as it ccan mess up your phone if you uninstall an important app. . also once your do uninstall you need to reboot ... the paid version of titanium allows you to freeze applications so you can try that first before removing it.

I had the exact same issues: camera crashing, blue light filter not working, brightness not working, etc. It was supersu. You need the right version of supersu, it's 2.79 SR0. It's checksum is f4ecbf5814215bf569ff3324fc1c91f5

Interesting..ill check that if I need to to Flash. I have 2.79 but maybe I grabbed an old version or a beta. Mine says 20161205 I think it may have been sr3
Edit _ just checked I grabbed sr0 the stable release from 20161215 not the sr3 beta
Maybe it was corrupt when I flashed

System UI has stopped.

Hello xda. i was using a custom for a long time and it was working pretty fine until few days back which i got error "system ui has stopped". I didnt thought it was a big deal and i thought i could do a format and everything will work fine. Well after lot of formatting and rom installing the error didnt go away. I decided to go back to stock system hoping that everything will work 100%. No it didnt. i got same freaking error again. at that point it was a dead end for me. So i thought maybe internet knows what the heck is causing this. im worried that phones motherboard is dying. hope its not that.

dont restore all of your apps at first and look for any recent change you did to customize interface like xposed modules or apps, if you are on a custom rom grab original system ui from /system/priv-app and replace it manually and after that you may need to delete "runtime-permissions.xml" from /data/system/users/0 to reset permissions and solve system ui FC (you can do this from TWRP file manager), let me know if you need more help
