Hi Guys
Just joined the forums yesterday. I was enjoying tinkering with my S4, I rooted it and had some fun with it, installing cool apps and such like.
I downloaded titanium back up, and proceeded to remove (what I thought was) bloatware..... (yes...schoolboy error, I know) I didn't remove any crucial system files though, I aint that gung-ho. But what I did do, was remove Flip-Fonts (I didn't know that the little "f-f logo in the circle" was flipfonts.
Anyway, this was still ok. I downloaded a font app from the play store, and installed a new font. I deliberately chose a font that was annoying to look at, and barely legible, simply so I could instantly see that the install had worked. So I rebooted my S4, and when it booted up, I noticed immediately that it had worked. Thus I knew the install proocess was working, and then I chose the font I wanted to install. BRILLIANT!!!
Then I noticed the issue. My system fonts were ok, however, when I was surfing the web, it was still using the annoying, barley legible font I initially installed as a tester. Gmail was using it, yahoo, chrome. I tried to uninstall and change the font. I could change it, but again, the fonts in gmsail etc were the annoying one that I didn't want. I could see no way to change this. So I did a factory restore this morning, through the normal channels (setting/accounts/back-up and reset) thinking this would reset.
When I booted the phone back up, when I was guided through the initial phone set up tutorial (time, accounts, device name etc ect) I noticed that the system font was set as the annoying one I don't want. So I downloaded iFont, and changed it. Again, it changed the font to the one I wanted, but again, when I went online it was still that (by this time) INCREDIBLY ANNOYING FONT!!!
So I went in to SuperSU and chose to unroot the device. I then went through the root process I initially used I re-rooted using this method. Again, when I booted up, the initial set-up wizard that guides you through had that IRRITATING, PESKY, SUICIDAL FONT!!!
So my good android friends, I require your assistance. How do I get round this pesky issue? I was thinking I would have to roll back to the factory ROM? Or is there some simple setting I am missing This is really really getting to me now. I have been tikering with the fone, not too in depth may I add, just installnig root apps and such. I was willing to venture in to the custom ROM's avenue sometime soon.....although after this little episode, I may think twice.
I do not have a nandroid back up. I have been advised on another forum to reinstall the factory ROM. However, I know there are different methods for different versions. So below is the info from my device. Whats the best plan of action for me. I still want to root my phone again, I just want shot of this annoying font.
In About Device:
Model Number: GT I9505
Android Version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUDMH8
kernel Version: 3.4.0-1220396 Then below it says se.infra @0210-03 1
(or something like that. I can hardly read it because of that annoying font)
Build Number: JDQ39.19505XXUDMH8
And i'm in the UK. my carrier/service provider is O2
Please Help!!!!!!! :crying:

As the other guy suggested, but instead of using that link, try http://www.samfirmware.com type in GT-I9505 into the device search bar and find United Kingdom (o2).
Flash it using Odin and you should be all good! I'd also recommend you take care when messing about with your phone, especially with system files. I would also recommend you flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and make backups of your device. It's saved me a load of times already!
Just wipe, flash new rom (stock rom or any rom you want). As long as you don't do anything crazy you can always use download mode to flash roms.
hi
\i have tried installing the framework in order to use the Xposed Installer mods\ \
ALWAYS ALWAYS immediately after reboot i get the "Unfortunately SYSTEM UI has stopped" error ALWAYS
i have done full wipes data, cache, dalvik AND SYSTEM only to come back with the same error time and again
i have installed crash rom from galaxy s4 gt- i9500
again as i said completely wiped and yet the error is there
also and this is absolutely baffling - i downloaded several new cusoms roms for the galaxy s4 gt-i9500 *wanamlite, phoenix, cobra"
and for the life of me cobra would not start at all - again after full wipes - system, data, dalvik cache and with full battery - zim\
phoenix loaded once only to fully freeze after and no go and wanamlite loaded only to come up with nottach mods from lord knows where that made the system unstable and rebooted into oblivion
again i reload this rom as downloaded fresh from full wipes.
i am luckily using crash version 11 but unable to do the framework install
PLEASE PLEASE HELP, i am new and am not allowed to post into the developper's area to find an answer please please

these guys bring refinements to the OS that the majors don't bother with because they have to offer something with the LEAST

It could be an incompatibility with the ROM you are using. Soe ROMs just do not like their core components messed with.
Try a different ROM. See if you get better results.

i've tried ALL CUSTOM ROMS everysingle one of them causes the same error, somehow the size of the screen grows TALLER and there is no space left for the status bar.
something causes the screen size to enlarge, is there a spec in the developer page that may cause this?
anyone, thanks
Are the errors coming after you installed the actual framework, or after you install a module?

i install the framework and then it asks for a reboot, during the reboot and at the restart i keep getting the "system ui has stopped" error, i can make it go away ONLY by removing the framework , i have a couple of aps that have a "restart UI" option even this doesn't work either.
at this moment, i am in the modules, page and at the top i have the message "the latest version of xposed currently not active, did you install the framework and reboot"? if i go into the framework, press install and then reboot, at reboot i get the error message, ALWAYS
any ideas, really puzzled
thanks for your time, much appreciated

first off thank you so much for taking the time to try to help, very very much appreciated, now this being said
i installed arrow rom v10 android 4.3 ubuemk1
in it there's an option in the settings page that has the xposed installer framework by going in it , it says thre are 46 app_process bundled and 42 xposedbridge.jar and active none,
i click on install/update and do the soft reboot, period, at this moment and after the reboot, i notice that the homepage is slightly taller and thre's no space for the status bar, and i presume that's the reason i get the "system ui has stopped" error. i can't imagine what setup causes the change in dimentions
btw i use apex as launcher. but that also happened with the standard (i forget the name) android launcher
i can undo the system ui error by going into the same settings page and removing the framework install
and that's it, i can't tell what framework version it's installing,, but know how frustrating this is, i just don't feel like dwelling further on it by trrying to find out what version that is, i hope you understand and just to put you in the proper frame of mind, let me tell you that i am 70 and at times the excess info becomes at times a bit overwhelming, i try to keep up but not been very versed in programming it becomes at times a bit hard
thanks so so much for your time and i hope we can find the root of this

Thats not correct. If you The bundled part is correct, but the active part is missing. It should also say 46 app_process bundled and 42 xposedbridge.jar.
Are you sure it has root acces? Check Supersu. And you start with an absolute fresh rom? No backups restored from any app etc.
Can you post the log of Xposed here? After you installed the framework you can go to the main menu of Xposed and there is the log.
xposed, not really

first off, thank you for the effort, truly appreciated
second, checked su and xposed is listed
third the version that came with arrow v11. is 2.3.1
fourth i went thru every single option in xposed and can't find the log. in a previous rom i remember seeing it, but in this one i have framework, modules, download, settings, about, under settings there's only the option to allow downloads, and under framework if i allow the install which brings in the actual modules numbers under the active column and reboot at this point i get the system ui stop error and have to uninstall it in order to get the status bar back on the screen
matter of fact y'day i downloaded the new arrow v11 and before installing it i did a wipe system and the rom install does the wipe cache, and dalvik so we're starting with a fully clean slate, even further in previous custom roms install i went even further by doing a full system reset
nothing helps, i always wind up with the same system ui stop. i returns my apps with a titanium apps restore after wiping the user data erase.
i must must be doing somthing wrong or must have a setting somewhere else that is interfering with xposed, i have in dev pate the msaa ticked and the turn off hardware overlays also ticked. those are the ONLY AND ONLY settings that i have outside the apex basic drawers settings.
thanks so much for your help, also let me know how i can locate the log in the actual physical location in the drive, not only just be able to read it

i reinstalled xposed and as predicted it caused the system ui to stop as usual but this time i got a log which i attached, i am keeping my fingers crossed that someone will be able to decipher it and provide a clue as to what i am doing wrong

I was having the same issue using the Stock Launcher on GPE 4.4 android. Using another launcher I didn't get the issue. You might want to disable all modules and reboot to see if the issue goes away, then enable one by one to see what module is causing the issue.

hi and thank you so much for resolving the mystery
i was hung up on using Apex and decided to remove Apex and used Nova, and followed your advice. and lo and behold i can activate Xposed and started by activating Wanam and still no problem then i checked the 3 dots and here i got the System UI stopped error, unchecked it and problem gone so it was the 3 dots.
i don't know if also the 3 dots were causing the problem in combination with Apex, but funny story with Apex even though i got the system ui stopped error, which in theory would cause the complete disactivation of all the modules, the 3 dots module DID work WITHOUT the xposed being activated. i am no planning to go back to apex to check the 3 dots thing, not by a million shot.
also nova does not by itself give the transparent system bar option, i found another module that give that option, so i am finally putting that baby to rest and move on.
thank you so much for coming with the PERFECT ADVICE that really made my day, truly very very much appreciated

I'm a noob to my s4. I was flashing daily on my s2 and weekly on my note 2. It's easier when you have a custom recovery and the stock rom as backup. And since there are no custom recoveries for our s4 I don't want to take the risk of flashing addons. Apk's I don't mind.

dunno if you fixed it but have you tried cm?
i am getting the same error after installing a module "cyan lockscreen"... im having custom marshmallow rom.. need help!!!
As the title suggests the play store no longer works on my g2. It is not rooted or modded in any way. Ive tried clearing the play store app along with google play services. That didnt work so i tried to factory reset still to no avail. Someone please help before i throw this crap away.
I'm afraid the same was happening to me, I went back to KitKat and installed CloudyG2 since I was on it.. You could also restore a back-up made using the LG PC Suite.
Good luck!
So i would have to go back to kit kat before doing the backup? And how would I go back to kitkat exactly?
Guess I was replying too early in the morning and wasn't awake just yet Let me explain:
If you would have updated to LolliPop using the LG PC Suite, it would've asked you if you want to create a back-up of your current installation. I meant you could restore this back-up.
If you don't, I've got another idea for you. But I gotta work this out first. Haven't got much time to do this right now, but I'll get onto it later if you want.
That would be great because i have no backup from kitkat so unless i can find a way to fix this im gonna have to get a new phone probably. I cant use 90% of my apps right now. Only google chrome, calling, and texting still work
Could you describe exactly what the Play Store does btw? Does YouTube still work?
For me the Play Store was just showing a blank screen and nothing else.. Just gotta be sure if you've got the same issues as me.
Youtube works fine for some reason. But the play store is working. I can see all the appd and everything, just whenever i try to update or download an app it just continuously says downloading and moves the bar non stop without any change until I stop it. Ive tried wifi vs data and have even let it try to download an update for google play services for over 24 hours.
Hmm that's another thing than I experienced.. But still flashing another ROM could be a solution, if you're fine with that.
However, I'd suggest you back up your current installation first. Either using the LG PC Suite or using a custom recovery. I personally wouldn't go through the hassle of installing a custom recovery when there's another, easier option, but that's up to you.
This is the way I flashed it back to KitKat (and afterwards to the Custom ROM Cloudy G2)
And pay attention, if you use this and something goes terribly wrong, it's at your own risk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 (I used the KDZ Method)
If you've done that you're set to either flash a Custom ROM or keep your device on stock KitKat.
This is optional however, but I did it because I just like to experiment and tweak my phone
Let me now if you need any further directions, for example installing a Custom ROM
Having the same problem here too. After updating, can't use the Play Store. Tried cleaning cache, data and even removing Google account didn't help. Btw, does all your apps work, especially the ones downloaded from Play Store?
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.

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.

Go to input > virtual > Gboard > settings > search and disable it.
It removes the search G but still keeps the row there. See attachment.

Yeah that's true. I can't find an option to disable that. Maybe it's not possible in this update.
I am sort of in the same boat
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
hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.
Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar
I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy
Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.
