I got (without asking) the OTA update yesterday and now have an unrooted kindle. Trouble is, the go launcher if stuck in a force close mode and since there is not root now, I am stuck.
Any good advice for clearing go launcher as launcher even though I can't access root or get to the launcher.
I am thinking I may have to wait for someone to achieve root again.

Update:
Nothing worked...finally I figured out there was a brief moment when the task bar appeared after connecting the USB cable to the PC...I tried to quick tap it and drag it down. Finally I was able to get to settings and was able to remove go launcher. Thanks for those who tried to answer me.
Ugh, I thought somehow I wasnt going to suffer this but after charging my kindle today its getting force closes on my zeam launcher, guess I got the update so cant do anything now, Also tried installing the custom recovery using the kindle fire utility and it tries to root and fails...
hope somebody gets root working again soon
ADW still works no problem.
I can second the ADW launcher working fine.

Fixed!
Phew, if you use the kindle fire utility, it has an option which installs google apps/go launcher. Doing this some of the apps install some dont (those that need permission for /system).
I tired it and it soon prompted me on the kindle screen to choose the default launcher, I went for go launcher !! and it worked!
Yes adw works fine

I've always been a fan of the stock launcher since I never cared much to use settings available in custom launchers to tweak settings. However, with the new Nova Prime I really wanted to give gestures a try. After hearing great things about the launcher I decided to purchase the app and start fiddling with it. Overall the launcher is very fast, stable, and the homescreen gestures are awesome.
However, I'm noticing that immediately after unlocking the phone the screen flickers once before opening the homescreen. I've tried disabling Nova launcher to see if the stock launcher did this as well. However, as I suspected, the stock launcher fluidly fades from the lockscreen to the homescreen with no flicker at all.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there a setting I can adjust to fix this? I'd love to keep using Nova but unfortunately this flicker is annoying me.
Thanks in advance.
No issue's to report with nova launcher that's the only launcher i use:good: don't like stock I uninstall it whenever i flash a new rom. Some guys put nova into there roms. I have the prime version. Do you have your animations on? You could try disabling the animations if that helps..

Thanks for the advice. I just disabled animations and it made the transition a lot faster, which I suppose I can live with. I just wish it was fluid during unlock like the stock launcher is. Aside from that it's perfect.
EDIT: I decided to follow your tactic and uninstalled the stock launcher, then wiped cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. After restarting I'm happy to report that the unlock flicker has completely gone away. This is the case even with animations set back to 1x. I'm guessing the phone was trying to load the stock launcher for a split second before loading Nova Launcher, causing the slight flicker/delay. I'm a happy camper now, thank you!

I get this issue on all launchers, when using stock AOSP 4.3 and CM 10.1
Has anyone deduced what the problem is caused by?

Ha! Forgot all about this thread. For me, every time I install a fresh ROM the first thing I do after initial setup is install Nova Launcher. After doing this I uninstall the stock launcher or the trebuchet launcher (on CM10.1 ROMs) and wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions. After doing this I never see the initial screen flicker anymore and I've used this method with all sorts of ROMs.
However, now that I'm on the stock 4.3 JWR66V image, without root, I am getting the same screen flicker again. I'm just dealing with it until an updated SuperSU or Super User zip is available which will allow me to root, install root explorer, and uninstall the stock launcher. I'm confident that going with the same procedure I mentioned above will solve the issue once again.
Good luck!

You're kidding, seriously? That's it? That's so sad on Google's part (for such a terrible launcher)
But thanks for the hint, I've been searching far and wide for this answer - ill let you know if it works in 4.3 (I'm rooted). I'm surprised so little users notice this annoying stuff!

I followed your instructions but I still get flickering from time to time on stock rooted 4.3, though maybe less than before... Any other step that I may be missing that you didn't mention?

"Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" won't stop popping up. So frustrating.
The phone is brand new, I just got it in yesterday and had it only for a day.
I was using swype, and just uninstalled it, and when I rebooted the phone, that error keeps popping up and won't go away, making it unable for me to use the phone.
Here's a video of what i'm talking about
How do I fix this? God the phone is brand new
Factory reset?

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 have go launcher. After changing a wallpaper it starts the system ui loop pop up.
So after the restart I went to settings to come back to default launcher.
No more pop up
Tell me if it works with you...

Sorry.. Googled topic, brought me here, did not realize... And i did fastboot the firmware, still systemUI issue but only with PAC-man... Handful of others I tested no issues.. I read on github (after i posted here) is a Know issue for PAC and why!!! Just strange, V05 was released weeks ago, why sooo long for issue to submerge... And no issues with V01-V04

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.

Hi I have huawei ascend y511 and after disabling google keyboard i turned off phone and put it back on. This happened. Help me please, How do I get it back to normal? If I factory reset, will it work? Or should I let the battery drain out and do something. I can't do anything on my phone now because I can't even press anything because of the really frequent pop out of "system ui has stopped" . Help please.
Hi,
Could anyone tell me why is it every time I reboot the phone I am prompted to select a Launcher (IE:Touchwiz home) even tough I hit "Always" every time?
Thanks

Is your phone normally booting up with no issues or is it booting up in safe-mode?
Have you tried doing a factory reset? What version S 4 do you have? Are you rooted? Custom ROM?

I had the same problem and did a factory reset that temporarily solved the problem but that is definitely not the solution.
The problem is the third party software that could be any app (for me was"Photoid Pro")
The Solution: When it happen for the first time (you must reboot after each App installation and if you are prompted to select a Launcher) immediately delete the app you just installed and reboot again, I am sure you will be back to your default launcher.
If already have the problem you should install "Launcher Switcher" from "google play" open and if you see anything beside your launchers Delete them and that would set you back to default launcher.
Install One App at a time so you know the culprit.

What sucks is you know wanam is working because at least for me the notification mods were working like NFC icon removed and clock and stuff.. just the status wasnt sticking... took me forever but it did take eventually
I've done it like 30 times no luck. I think I'm just going to let it be.

This is not a troll question...
I've seen lots of folks worried about the "open lock" icon on boot. Why does this matter, unless you are requesting service/replacement of your device?
Is this a separate indicator from the Knox "0x0" that shows in download mode?

Exactly what you said, for warranty and also just OCD for some of us yes its seperate it shows in the Settings>Status screen as well as the boot screen instead of Official it will say "Custom" (Wanam removes the icon and sets the status to Official)
You don't have to uninstall.... just re-install the framework and it should be back up.
