You know how when you first set up the phone, let's you swipe up on the lockscreen to start right away, or down to "tune a few things first?" Well my phone repeatedly keeps doing that any time the lockscreen comes up, like whenever I turn it on or when the phone sort of crashes. When it happens, I have to wait for No Lock to disable the screen again, because if I use either option, the animation freezes half way through the unlocking and the phone crashes, going to a black screen and I have to turn it off to get it to work.
I thought it might be due to system apps I froze with bloat freezer, so I unfroze them one by one and did resets, to see if that solved it. I did this until everything was unfrozen, to no avail. I thought maybe it was due to a glitch in the extended controls widget I used to disable the lock screen, so I switchedto no lock; same problem. I don't knowb what else to do. Any ideas?
God I hate samsung and their glitch riddled android hacks. They improve literally nothing from stock android, its just glitchy hacks and downgrades.*prays for the next nexus to have a hard keyboard.*
Just fixed the same issue with my sk4g. I tried installing with terminal and various install apps, no dice. There is a workaround until you get the apks back in place. Turn on the pattern lock and set it. When the curtain lock comes up DO NOT SLIDE IT, just open the screen and the pattern lock should pop up. First install Systemapp Remover, if not done already. Download the dump in development section and pull the apks from the app folder. The two apks causing the error are PhoneSetupWizard.apk and Learn.apk(maybe not learn but i did both to be sure also copy/paste the .odex files). Make sure neither can be seen in the system app list in Systemapp remover, if they are there uninstall them. Take the apks from the dump and copy/paste them to SysteAppBackup folder on the sdcard. Go to the restore menu in Systemapp remover and tap to restore each apk. Reboot and all should be well. Thanks to the kind people of xda for this, not me.
edit>>> Run the setup wizard and uncheck the data options to stop maps from running all the time for no reason.

OK, so tonight I decided to install the Atrix 2 Blaze mod. It installed without any issues.
After installing and verifying that everything worked, I then decided to use Titanium Backup to batch restore my apps. This appeared to work, and at the end of the process it told me to reboot. So I did.
Once it booted back up, I was greeted with the lock screen, as you'd expect -- but when I unlocked the phone, all I saw was a black screen and the notification bar on top. No wallpaper, no icons, no widgets, nothing. I could open the task drawer, I could make the soft keyboard appear, I could bring up the "open apps" window... but I can't actually do anything because the screen is freaking black.
But because the notification bar works, I can tell there are things going on. I see my phone checking for email. I see my phone battery decreasing. I see notifications when my google+ or twitter apps detect people are replying to threads I've been on. In other words, the phone appears to be working in every way except that there's nothing on the screen for me to interact with.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a way to fix it? I hope?
Your best bet is probably just to flash the 2.3.5 Stock FXZ and start from scratch.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
try re-flashing ?
looks like you loose your home launcher ..
I had the EXACT same problem, everything below the notifications bar was blacked out, i could bring up recent apps, but i couldn't even bring up the emergency dial pad at the unlock screen. Only difference is mine happened when i froze Go Launcher using Titanium Backup. I could tell it was still trying to run Go Launcher coz i could auto-rotate the screen.Sadly, the only option i had was to reset the phone and loose everything. I couldnt even backup my files coz i set USB mode to charge only so it never popped up on PC.
I reckon you restored an app that has a missing component/data and so it crashes at startup, maybe a home launcher, locker etc. Try making a backup then resetting your phone
Same problem here Ill try the fxy method,
any of you had solve the problem?
I think I killed my phone hahaha! Right when I need it for job interviews :silly:
So I rooted my phone, installed Titanium backup to uninstall useless applications on my LG optimus one (LGP500H). Started backing up everything and removing one application at a time, being careful. When I got to "Nuance", I thought it was a useless program for voice control, so I backed it up then uninstalled. Then before it finished (Or after, I don't know), "force close" messages kept looping and I couldn't get out. So I restarted my phone (managed to do this between two "force close" messages).
Surprise, my phone reboots, but to a black screen with only the notification area up top. When I lock then unlock the screen, I see my background, then I swipe to unlock the screen and it goes back to that black screen. Even the "Search" hard button does not show up anything. So all I can do is check my notifications, turn on/off the wireless, gps, data, sound. Nothing else.
So I decided it was time to install CyanogenMod, but found out you absolutely need to install ClockworkMod to reboot in recovery mode. So I'm stuck. Can't do anything, can't find on google how to flash CM without ClockworkMod, no idea what is the problem.
I even tried to reset to factory default, I get past the configuration screens to choose the language and the time, then it goes back to the black screen. So I need to completely wipe my phone and replace it with cyanogen mod, I think it's past trying to recover anything.
I saw one other guy with that problem on google and nobody really answered.
EDIT:
I think maybe I just found out that I might have deleted the home screen somehow? although I didn't delete anything that I wasn't sure of.
If anybody else has this problem and can't get an answer like me, I figured out the solution.
Send a message text to your phone from a friend's phone with a link to the market for any application. Then find Titanium backup and install it. you will be able to run it from the notification area, then find your backups, and reinstall them. Boo-yah!
Cannot get the lock screen shortcuts to work with hyperdrive rom.
Noticed the issue, thought possibly got a bad flash. So I did another triple wipe/cache clear and installed the rom again. Still the same issue.
You can get as far as moving around the preset shortcuts, but when you try to click the (+) to add more the screen goes black before it pops up a message that settings has stopped. Tried rebooting the phone and adjusting several other related setting and nothing would change.
If there is a known work around like a cfg or something that keeps track of the lock screen short cuts that would do the trick.
Thanks

Known issue for Hyperdrive 14. It is being fixed for 15. In the mean time, start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106830&highlight=lockscreen+shortcuts&page=462 for a way to fix it.
Thank you.
Let's hope I can figure this out.
Edit:
So I downloaded RLS13 and extracted the SecSettings.apk.
The question I have is do I simply overwrite the old one and reboot the phone, or should I zip the extracted file up and install it in TWRP?
Hope somebody can help me, this is driving me insane... I swear, I want to take this sh*** of a phone and smash it against the wall....
anyways, I have received long awaited Oreo. Updated, all OK. Pretty fast, nice new look like list view in recents etc. Then I found out that when I run Secure folder, it simply freezes. It displays Iris scan/pattern and for like 20 seconds, doesn't react to touches. I can see it working in the background, CPU monitor is changing numbers, but it simply doesn't allow me to draw pattern. When It does 20 seconds later, the pattern is drawn, and Sec Folder opened. Then it takes like 10 seconds to react to anything. and from then on - it works OK. Then I exist Sec folder - same thing! It stops reacting like 20 seconds, and after all is OK.
OK, I say, I have Plasmalite which does something on System level, I'll uninstall it. I uninstall Plasmalite, couple more apps that have anything to do with system (0pt navbar), AdHell2 etc. Later I found out Adhell2 doesn't work, nor does 0px navbar). So I try everything, even uninstall Secure folder, install again - same thing. I wipe cache partition, same thing.
OK, f*** it, I will do Factory reset.
so after factory reset it is much better. No delay on running Sec folder but Sec folder sometimes just closes when launched. not always, but often. it is either closed immediately after launch, or it works. some delays and STRANGE screen redrawing when moving pictures from gallery to Secure folder (like empty screen!!), but it kinda works.
I restore f***ing phone ,took me 2 days. I want to hide navbar, so I install Substratum, Andromeda, Immersive bar and some other navbar replacement app, and it kinda works. But! The Freeze problem on running Sec folder is BACK!
I uninstall everything, reboot phone, but still, there is delay on running Sec folder....
Is there anything I might try? I really can't spend another 2 days restoring my phone it is so boring and frustrating. Damn Samsung.
Thanx

I solved the problem. For more information please contact me by e-mail [email protected]
I solved it too. The problem was restoring the (Samsung) backup. Once I did "clean" install and restored things selectively (w/o restoring data or eveything that was in the backup) everything was fine.
Background: I'm on a Pixel 3a running the January update (QQ1A.200105.002). Unlocked, stock, rooted with Magisk v20.2. Only using 3 Magisk modules (systemless hosts enabled for ad blocking, YouTube Vanced, and a custom font).
What happened: While cleaning my screen with a microfiber after work a few nights ago, I accidentally launched the SystemUI Tuner. I had created a gesture within Nova Launcher to access the SystemUI Tuner. It launched and toggled the "plugins" setting on & off. Afterward, I cursed myself for not disabling that gesture after I was done with the tuner, and I went to the homescreen. My wallpaper was gone and the background on my homescreen was black. Also, my 2 button gesture navigation was not present and my status bar was gone. I rebooted. This is when I found myself in a bootloop at the "Pixel is starting..." screen (a screen I had never seen prior to this).
Attempts to fix: Through a tip from another user I was able to get back into the phone by disabling my PIN screen lock security via adb. I did this by launching Settings via abd with:
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.settings.SETTINGS
Then I disabled all lockscreen security. I also was able to backup all data on internal storage. The phone boots (sort of) now, albeit without many SystemUI elements (e.g, no gesture navigation, status bar, notification panel, wallpaper, etc.). Still shows the "Pixel is starting" boot screen beforehand. It's unusable as a daily, but I really don't want to wipe and set up all over again if possible. Does anyone know where in /system the settings data for the System UI Tuner is stored? Another user suggested I look for: data/data/com.android.sytstemui.tuner. That directory does not exist, unfortunately. The user experienced this same series of events (i.e., toggled SystemUI Tuner "plugins" and ended up with no wallpaper at the "Pixel is starting" loop). This user tried sideloading the corresponding OTA image, flashing a full system image with "-w" removed to save data, safe mode. Nothing seemed to help. Before I spend hours setting up my phone after a clean install, does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Just wipe data. Doesn't take that long to set stuff back up.

That's all kind of relative to your set-up and how busy you are... I'm an RN with a little kid at home school. Time is priceless. Maybe I should post in the general Q&A and see if anyone knows where that directory might be hiding.

I mean... You knew the deal tinkering with your phone in the first place. It really doesn't take that long and I find myself pretty damn busy all the time. Good luck on your Easter egg hunt finding the directory.
Btw thanks for being front line as a RN during these wild times.

Oh I definitely understand the risk, and I'm more than willing to flash clean and set up again. I was really just posting a last ditch effort to see if I could avoid it. Clearly, a full wipe is in my not so distant future. Thanks for your kind words.
