In the recent menu/ app switcher, I get this "couldn't add widget" display at the top. Phone works nicely, but this widget error display is annoying for me. I have the moto rooted with twrp. Anyone having the same issue? I tried rebooting, clearing cache, clearing data from google search app with no solution.
Thanks in advance
Do you have Xposed installed with any modules set to "Hide search bar in recents"?
I remember I had that on my M8 when I hid the search bar in the recents..... It was eventually fixed in a ROM update, but I had to live with it for a while, or show the search bar.

No xposed, just stock rooted. Should have mentioned that, lol... any other ideas? thanks
SUCCESS!
So i booted into safe mode (while phone is on, hold power and long press "power off" and tap boot into safe mode), then launch the recent apps menu and the widget (google search) is there, then reboot phone like normal.
Hope this helps if anyone has the same thing.

So here is what happened. I downloaded the full version of titanium backup from the app market and proceeded to follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bloatware to get a faster, more clean stock rom. I got to the "Home" item and checked in the normal applications menu from the home screen to see if there was a "Home" app of sorts. So I went ahead and froze it and kept going through the apps. Long story short I eventually found out I could not access the home screen and in my nerd rage I rebooted the phone only to find it would not go past the boot screen because it didn't have a "Home" to launch in to.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
if you can launch the voice command by double pressing home or long pressing search, say "market" and it will launch the market, where you can download a home launcher.

Hey thanks, that's a start! I found that I can get past the "red eye" boot screen if you will by sliding my invisible lock slider over. From there all I have is a black screen and then the notification blind. Unfortunately, your suggestions of accessing the market arent working for me. I had previously mapped my double press home to the dialer, and the long press search errors out giving me a "Connection Problem" pop-up with the options to speak again or cancel. I also notice that I am in flight-mode...

If you are comfortable with using adb, you could probably push an apk into /system/app
If you dig through the development sub-forum I am pretty sure there is a link to the stock system archives. You could push the original blurhome.apk

I have just learned how to do basic adb functions while rooting a co-worker's Milestone, so that won't be a problem. I'll try transfering that and see what happens. Thanks for the tips guys.
It's fixed now! I ended up fixing it by going through the Advanced Task Killer (Froyo edition), clicking on titanium backup, and hitting switch to option to go back into titanium. Thanks for the help
Is anyone else having an issue with CM7 where the right combination of gestures or touches while cause the menu bar to disappear? I have no idea how to reproduce it, or how to recover from it (short of a reboot) but it's happened at least 4 times i as many weeks.
Just curious if something is corrupt with my install or if it's a common issue.
If the bar is just invisible (the buttons still work, but there are no graphics), just rotate the screen and they should come back.
If you've touched the double-chevron button and the status bar went away, an app has requested fullscreen mode and the chevrons grant the request. Hit "home" to get somewhere that isn't fullscreen. You can pick an "un-hide" button and do other similar things in Settings/Tablet Tweaks, look for "Disable Fullscreen" and "Choose unhide button".
If neither of the above holds, your statusbar has crashed. There's an app that's supposed to bring it back, but that never worked properly for me. I have to reboot.
This hasn't happened to me in recent nightlies, but I'm not positive that the problem is really gone yet.

I've had the menu bar disappear while certain apps were open, preventing me from accessing the app menu and had to use the 'n' button to get out. To get around this I am using Button Savior.

That's my situation. The status bar / buttons disappear, so I hit the physical home button (the N as in Nook button), but the bar is still gone. This was happening on 7.0.3... i just installed 7.1 RC1 and haven't had it happen yet... we'll see.

Go to Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Tablet Tweaks, and check to see that you have the "Disable fullscreen" option checked. That prevents apps from overriding the status bar visibility. Additionally, you can setup an "unhide" button in case you accidentally hit the chevron or otherwise lose the Tablet Tweaks status bar.

Because you say "menu bar" and later on say you press the N button and they are still missing I believe you are talking about the ADW menu buttons (the launcher and apps buttons). If that is what you are referrinng to then you should go into ADW settings and uncheck the hidden taskbar option. By default it is checked.
can reproduce it on my EVO
I found out how to make the menu disappear, but cannot make it reappear.
I have an EVO 4G (original supersonic) and I am able to make the bottom home menu disappear using a downward swipe. I've done this accidentally quite a few times. (I'm referring to the Phone/Square/World Icons that launch the primary apps)
However, I do not know how to make it come back. I have been able to swipe randomly and get it to reappear, but I do not know what combination actually causes this.
The only way I know how to bring it back for sure, is a reboot. I wish I knew what that swipe combination was to restore the menu

By "Menu Bar", do you mean the the Dock where you can access the App Drawer?
If this is it, then you just have to swipe it up. But to just to warn you, it is "VERY HARD" to get the right swipe for it to show again. Trust me, I tried. Best solution would be to disable the "HIDE" Capability of the Dockbar by going into Settings>ADWLauncher>UI Settings Go down to Hidden Dockbar and disable Dockbar.

thanks thewaywardgeek013, that worked perfectly. It's almost impossible to find the right settings.
So, I've just updated to the latest Pure Nexus - did a wipe and clean install - and I'm trying to get my apps set up again, but I can't grant permissions through system settings. If an app actually pops up and requests a permission, I can allow it; but for some apps, this doesn't happen. Home Remote Control, for example, won't request the storage permission it needs to access my ssh key. So I go into settings->apps, find the app, tap permissions, try to enable the storage permission, and..."screen overlay detected". Except there is no screen overlay active. I have disabled every app's "draw over other apps" permission. I even found the "show system" option in the list and disabled all system apps' ability to draw over other apps. At this point, SYSTEMUI can't draw over anything else! And I'm still getting "screen overlay detected" when I try to change permissions. Any advice? Is there another way to manage permissions in Marshmallow (like maybe an xposed module)?
EDIT: Thought I should also mention, the issue persists in Safe Mode.

Do you have twilight or lux installed?
The reason it's warning you is BECAUSE they're disabled. Enable all the toggles and the prompts will go away. You can then choose to disable one by one until you figure which app is throwing the error.

Turned out to be because GravityBox pie controls were enabled. Doesn't show up in the "draw over" list, but trips the overlay detection regardless. Disabling pie controls in the GravityBox app let me change permissions.
Hi,
Try to flash this by Custom Recovery.

Thanks man. I have been going crazy for the past few days trying to figure this out lol. Just posted asking for help as well. Such a random and rare issue, that i couldnt find anything on it.
Up until yesterday long pressing the home button on my 6p reliably launched Google Search. Until it stopped and now I can't get it to come back. I can feel the double vibration, but there is no action associated with it. Tried wiping cache but no luck. Tried booting in safe mode but, ironically, the phone goes into a bootloop, I am guessing because of the Xposed framework. Any suggestions? Google has lots of old threads on the topic buy they mostly have to do with third party apps.

Try without Xposed installed. Then try without your Xposed modules. Then try with a clean install of your rom.

Yeah, these are the actions of last resort when nothing else works. They will eat so much time I would rather wait for Nougat to get xposed and then just wipe and reflash everything.
In the mean time I have tried a few other things. Disabled all xposed modules but it still does not work. Used GravityBox to set middle button long press to launch search, does not work. Most interestingly, set GB to launch search with a long press of the back button. That did not work either, suggesting that the problem is with the call to the search app, not the home button function itself. Erased cache and data for the Google app no luck. Switched from Nova to Now no luck.

Thank you so much! I have done a Google search, and the only solution I found was to clear data of android setup, did that and it did not work for me. Never occurred to me to disable it. Hope it won't affect anything though. Anyways, thank you again!
