I have a rooted galaxy S2 with cm7 and transparent status bar patch.
Today I tried the app "super status bar" for theming the status bar without root.
Because the app applies a second status bar over the native one I hid it within launcher pro to keep the transparent look.
After playing a while with super status bar and trying to change the app with ninjamorph because I did not liked the icons from the free version I finally decided to remove it.
After that my status bar was gone and did not come back after changing the settings with launcher pro plus.
I still was not really alarmed- I mean I had clockwork recovery and a nandroid backup.
So I decided to flash cm7 again and also do a full wipe- to be on the safer side...
But the notification bar is still gone- also with adw launcher...
Now I am alarmed.... any ideas... help.... ???

You need to replace the framework.apk with the current one. Download and replace the framework.apk of your current ROM.

thank you- I will try it.
bootloop.....

You must've replaced with a wrong framework. Anyway, get rid of the bootloop first,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
then find the correct framework to replace.

I already flashed back to stock rom with odin but I still have a bootloop...
Now I really don't know what to do because I don't know how to try the villain rom with bootloop and no recovery..
I don't understand it- I really did a lot of flashing with my former phone- the motorola xt720- and when everything went wrong flashing back to stock rom was the last but the step that worked everytime!!! What went wrong now????

Did you remember to wipe data and cache in stock android recovery after flashing stock firmware/rom ?
If not, do this and the bootloop will be history. ;-)
I have experienced bootloops before when flashing different stock firmware/roms.
I hope all works out for you

.... I did not forget it but I do not know how to...
I just know how to get into download mode... I have to admit I am quite hectically now...

Okay dont panic
How to get into recovery mode.
1. press and hold the volume rocker up and the home + power button, while the phone is off
2. just continue holding those 3 buttons til you see the recovery screen, if not try again.
This should get you into recovery mode.

Its just like getting into download mode, when the device is off
Only difference is holding the volume rocker up instead of down, i think.

thank you both very much- that was the problem.
I guess I needed such an experience to realize again what messing around with framework etc. means... and that I am really not that android experienced I started to believe the last weeks...

Im glad, i could help.

HELP please !!

[Q] Noob corporate email problem

Hello,
I have a Nexus 4 running Kitkat 4.4.2 and everything was good until a few days ago. I have a few accounts on the phone but the one I'm trying to fix is the corporate email - I had a stuck message (not in my Outlook inbox but in my phone inbox) and tried deleting & filing in a different folder but nothing worked. With iphones and newer Blackberry devices, you can simply remove the offending account and then add it again which usually fixes glitches like this. After removing the corporate email account from the accounts list and having it hang when trying to recreate it, I ended up doing some reading which led me to the Security section to remove the corporate email from there. Now I am able to create a corporate email account but my only options are POP or IMAP which won't work.
Any ideas...?
Peter

You probably deleted exchange services. Flash the system img file from the factory image in fastboot.

I am an Android beginner - will that wipe my N4 and does it involve rooting it?

It will not wipe your device or involve rooting, except if you haven't already unlocked the bootloader. That'll wipe your device.

So to sum up - download fastboot, unlock bootloader and then load the system.img
I'll give it a shot this afternoon, thanks for your help.

Finally worked up the courage to try this today and ended up with a fresh phone (not what I wanted).
Here's what I did;
put phone in fastboot mode (by pressing vol up, vol down and power)
fastboot devices (to make sure it could see it)
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash system system.img (from Kitkat 4.4.2, same OS I was running before this crap started)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
Then I got to pick a language and start the setup, just like when it came out of the box (minus all my apps, data and pics)...

If you weren't unlocked before, unlocking is what wiped your device. Just flashing the system.img will not wipe the device

Good IMEI so... what´s going on?

The OP needs to clearer about their query.
From a fully off state perform the following.
1) Press and hold power + vol down
2) continue holding until you're at the bootloader menu
3) vol down to bp tools
4) power to select
5) you'll have to manually configure the drivers, but it should be obvious which entry is what in device mgr
You now have a diag port and can use a software like cdma workshop to change settings.
Note, if you don't know what you're doing here, stay out. It's possible to put the phone in a state where you'll have no mobile connectivity.

Q#1: yes it´s an activated sim card installed and not tied to an active account.
Q#2: The guy i purchased told me that radio just stop working after MM update.
Right now im doing a NV items backup.

Already try to launch from Terminal:

Root/System/app
HiddenMenuLigh.apk
but nothing works.

I'd reflash the entire system firmware, factory reset, then try again. If still no go, then get with your seller about a refund as something is damaged and/or corrupted.

Flashing TWRP custom recovery and then using its file manager to delete the wondershare apk from the phone might help.
Also, files from the internal memory cannot be recovered if deleted. They can, but the process seems to be more complicated than just using an app. That's the way android is.

That is called download mode.
The key combo for recovery is volume up, power button and home button.
TWRP has install instructions on their site. There are other, simpler, methods. Like the Odin method.

That was the stock recovery.
Anyway, deleted stuff from the internal memory cannot be recovered as easily as from the sdcard.
From now on maybe use Google Photos. It has an auto-backup feature that can backup photos to the cloud.
You have unlimited storage space for photos up to 16 megapixels. Just make sure to select "High Quality" in the settings.

Stuck in Google FRP (Nougat)

Followed these instructions to unlock the bootloader and flash the latest DU to my wife's XT1575: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808
DU was buggy so I decided to flash stock nougat using these instructions (left bootloader unlocked): https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1575-moto-x-pure-edition-factory-t3704142
Everything seemed to go fine until we attempted to sign into her existing account and got this error: Unable to sign in to device due to an unknown error. Please try another account or try to sign in again after 24 hours.
Had no idea what that was about, so I Googled it and found out about Factory Reset Protection (FRP). I didn't find much information and the only advice I found was to wait at least 24 hours before trying again. Turned off the phone and waited a full 26 hours before turning it on again--attempted to sign in again and still getting the same error.
Any advice for what to do next?

This was the first link that popped up. Just asking, have you tried this?

No. I saw the big red "REMOVE" button, clicked it, and got the confirmation just like the article said, but as you can see from my screenshot, it does not say "Access Removed." next to the device. There is also no more "REMOVE" button. But the interface seems slightly different from the time that article was written so perhaps that's why.

Not sure what causing it, but try Factory resetting the current Stock ROM or try any other custom ROM with Nano GApps.
P.S: If you currently are on Stock Nougat then flash any Custom ROM based on stock nougat.

I thought FRP didn't work with an unlocked bootloader?

The phone originally had Marshmallow. The issue with custom ROMs is reliability. Even with DU, which is known for being one of the more stable ROMs, there were a lot of glitches. For example, sometimes the camera app would open, sometimes it wouldn't, which isn't good when you've got a toddler and want to capture moments.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying... Are you suggesting that maybe I can somehow circumvent FRP by going from a custom ROM and back to a stock ROM?

Try commenting out this line in build.prop with a # tag

Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. I did some Googling and found instructions that won't work for me since I can't get into the phone. Also, looking at the firmware files, I don't see any the files in question.
I called Google and they blamed Motorola and patched me through to their support line. Motorola had no clue what to do. They blamed the legally required "kill switch" but said that it should let me in if I know the right account and password, which I do, but it still doesn't work.
