Maybe I am weird, but I really like the menu overflow icon (that appears on devices without a menu button) even when a physical menu button is available (i.e, even on the GS4). Using CM in the past, there was an option in settings to enable this and I typically did and it worked great.
From my research, it appears that for Android >4.0 in general we can alter the build.prop file to tell the system to show the overflow menu item by setting:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
I tried this on my GS4 (running a rooted Stock ROM, latest OTA update) and it worked! Except .. SystemUI kept crashing, over and over. As far as I can tell, everything else was fine, but with SystemUI not functioning (no system bar displayed at all) and FC messages constantly showing every few seconds, it was hard to check into things much so I reverted back.
So, my question is: Does anyone know (or know how to found out) why this mod would crash SystemUI? And, is there any way to alter SystemUI so that this mod would not cause it to crash and therefore allow us to enable the menu overflow?
I know that the GS4's stock firmware is most likely hard-coded to never show the menu overflow, and that could certainly simply be the issue, but I am curious if there is a quick and easy fix for the SystemUI issue for this or if anyone else has tried this. And, of course, most likely all of the stock TW apps are hard-coded to never show the menu icon as well. Nevertheless, I am curious if this is possible on a rooted Stock ROM.
Thanks!
Bump. Also looking for this feature as I want to remap my menu button. I know custom roms allow for the action overflow icon, and it worked fine on my Infuse.
On Android 4.3 since I got the device.
I setup my lock screen widgets some time ago no problem.
Today I just went to add another widget and found that the add button didn't appear. I ended up deleting my other lock screen widgets and now I can't add anything. The clock widget animates when you swipe it but doesn't move to a + button as it should.
Just to get this out the way, I have the proper settings in place:
eg.
Swipe to unlock.
Settings > Device > Lock screen > multiple widgets - enabled.
I am completely baffled by this and have tried to google an answer as to why this may have stopped working but no searches seem to have any similar problems announced. So in desparation I'm hoping someone here might know why this has stopped working?
Any help, suggestions would be welcome, I'm at my wits end.
Hello everyone!
First, I'm sorry for my English. I'll try to do my best to be clear and not too painful to read.
I post here tonight because my Moto X XT1562 is very messy. It's totally buggy actually.
The WHAT:
Some functionalities just disappeared. Here is some:
- Notifications aren't displayed at all. The notification bar stay empty, even when I swipe it down. Notification sounds are OK however.
- The quick settings panel isn't displayed... When I swipe down the right side of the top bar, there is only the notification bar who appear (empty...) like if I swiped down the left side. Nothing happens neither with a Nova widget for example to launch the activity corresponding to the quick settings panel.
- The Home button and the Menu app button do not works. When I touch them, they respond (they are circled by a halo and the phone vibrate) but don't produce anything.
- Some entries are missing in Settings like the entry to configure the quick setting panel. Also, some entries are displayed but when I touch them nothing happens, like the "Users" entry. Moreover, in "Backup & Reset > Factory data Reset" the "Reset Phone" button stay grey (unavailable).
- The "Developers options" menu isn't available neither. In this case, I had a toast with something like: "Developers options are not available for this user". In my actual configuration (spoiler: aka after flashing a new ROM), I can't activate the developers options at all.
- Probably other things but I'm not sure it matter. Apps work great however, even if there are now some force close. And just to be clear: it's not a touch screen issue.
So my phone is still usable, but it's not handy at all. Specially the fact that I can't go on the Home screen with the home button or switch between opened apps with the app button.
The WHEN:
These is happens after I try to move data that were on the sdcard in the internal storage through the built in tool in the storage settings. In fact, my sdcard (used like "internal storage") was almost full and my true internal storage with some space. I knew all my sdcard data could not go on my internal storage, but I thought Android could deal with that and will only transfer a part of these data. BUMMER. Anyway, during the process the phone had reboot and then the mess happens: internal storage was overfull, sdcard still full too, duplicate data were on both, etc. And of course, the previous bugs came. I deleted data manually (primarily pictures) and used the phone a couple of days like this.
Just so you know and because I suspect an perm issue, I have to add that a couple days before this episode, I also tried to create a second android user through the Users setting. But nothing happens after the asked reboot. I didn't insist.
The WHAT-THE-****:
- First, I was suspecting that the last boot didn't work properly because the internal storage was full. So after I made some space on the device I rebooted: nothing.
- After I delete all my pictures on the sdcard, I launch the data migration process to give it a new chance to finish properly. It did, but... nothing.
- I tried to wipe dalvik cache and the regular cache through TWRP: nothing.
- Like I suspected a permission issue, I tried to "Fix Contexts" with TWRP. Nooooothing.
- Very confident, I tried a factory reset through the Android settings but it was unavailable. So I did it in the bootloader. But... NOTHING!
- Well, I decided to flash again my ROM (XDRom) but I chose the last build to upgrade it. Flashing a new ROM replace most of the files so that MUST work. Guess what? Nothing!!
- Desperate, I tried to flash/upgrade the squid kernel. But No-****ing-thing... :crying:
I have no idea how it's possible. So if someone has encountered something similar or knows how that can happen, please, tell me.
I'm using TWRP, Squid Kernel r19 and the ROM XDR 24.107-52-5 (Android 6.0.1). Right now, my phone isn't rooted but it was when it happened. I was also using Xposed with Gravitybox and XBlastTools.
Thanks to everybody!

when everything else failed, use rsdlite and flash stock rom.

If you're using XDrom you need to root it and use XDRsetup app that comes with it (you can also download it separately, link is in XDR'S thread). This will fix all your issues
Your phone is not provisioned. You can fix this by re-running the setup wizard activity using Activity Launcher.
I've been seeing this issue pop up on several Moto devices since last few months, even on my own device.
EDIT: XDROM thread mentions this on the thread clearly
Use XDR Setup app after first boot to provision the device (unlock UI, Developer's options, screen lock, etc.)

Well, thanks so much everybody. Sorry for my late answer. You're right, my phone wasn't "provisioned". I wasn't aware at all about this not-a-bug-but-a-feature. It sounds still strange for me and it's surprising that this "issue" appears by itself but whatever, it's fix. Thanks again!
My phone randomly rebooted tonight and I've never seen an Android phone do this to this extent.
I was typing a text message within Textra, using SwiftKey and the device rebooted on its own.
Upon reboot, it was almost like the apps were loaded with default settings? Here are a few examples-
- SwiftKey and Chrome's settings were reset
- Most of the "Settings" were reset
-- Vibrate
-- Screen timeout; various "Display" values were reset
- Status bar battery icon was back (used to be number)
Its almost like the phone reset to "safe" or "default" settings?
I think it might have to do with Substratum but I would think I'd be the first to report it... Anyone have an idea of what this behavior means?

You're on stock ?

I wouldn't call it stock:
- OOS 4.5.14/Rooted
- Boeffla Kernal
- Substratum
I get that its probably easiest to blame Boeffla or Substratum themes *but* I've been running this setup without any reboots prior and I've been on 4.5.14 for over a week now and this is the first its happened.
It would be nice to diagnose the behavior after what happened, ie- the device reboot and factory defaulted system "Settings". It's like it rebooted into a safe state or a safe configuration.
What causes the lock wall paper to reset, status bar and display settings within "Settings"?
I think SwiftKey crashed personally but crashed so hard that it would default some system settings?
I'm not sure when this issue actually started but when I tried to edit my Smart Lock settings today, I found I couldn't get into the Screen Lock settings at all.
I have a LG V20 US996 unlocked & rooted running software version 10n. When I try to access Settings -> Display -> Lock screen, I get "Unfortunately, Lock Screen Settings has stopped.". Here's what I've tried thus far based on articles I've found around the webiverse:
Cleared all of the cache & rebooted.
Cleared all the user certificates under Certificate management.
Cleared the data for the following packages via Titanium Backup followed by a reboot:
com.lge.lockscreensettings.overlay 1.0
com.lge.provider.lockscreensettings 7.0
Lock Screen Settings 5.50.160811
Rebooted into safe mode using the default launcher and still couldn't get into the Lock screen settings.
I currently have a passcode set. Clearing the above package data did not remove the passcode. I also use Nova Launcher but somehow I don't think that's the issue since I wasn't using it in Safe Mode.
This issue is making me a tad nervous as I'm afraid I'll boot or try to unlock the phone and it won't let me. I'm all ears for any suggestions I could try short of resetting the phone to defaults.
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue. Nova launcher also. Tried all "fixes" mentioned as well.
Figured out my issue, not sure if it applies to you as well.
I ran a logcat and found that the lockscreen settings showed an error looking for weather settings. I previously froze the LG weather apps. After unfreezing the 3 weather apps, lockscreen settings work once again!
Good luck!
Holy crap, it worked! I had frozen it with Titanium as well. Unfreezing it made all the lock screen settings work again. How obscure and annoying is that?
Thanks!
Pistacios solution fixed the problem. Unfreezing the LG Weather apps (with Titanium, in my case) fixed the problem.
Awesome! Glad I helped. I came across your post when I had the problem and decided to dig deeper and that's when I found the answer.
Lockscreen wallpaper can still be changed with the apps frozen, just do it thru the gallery with the "set as" option, but just about everything else needs those apps active. I just unfreeze, change settings, then refreeze them.
