So for a while I was soft bricked waiting for the FXZ for 12.15.15, obviously it was released and my phone is up and running great but one thing I've noticed is when I try to install a 3rd party app I am not able to click install (I have unknown source's enabled duh) but it's so weird... I click the app, it opens and when I try to click install it just doesn't register period. I can click the cancel button but not install...I tried installing the latest safe strap to make a back up but am unable...I also tried installing the Google Search Launcher I extracted from a 4.4 ROM and the same issue occurs...any idea what this is? Or what I can do?...I may try restoring stock again cause this has never happened before,ever. Any insight would be great.

I've seen this before and for my device it was because I was running the app Lux, which is an autodimming screen effect. The way Lux worked was shooting a semi-transparent image over the whole screen. Android has a built-in feature that prevents apps from auto-clicking the install button by preventing apps that are "above" the install screen from disallowing them to auto-install things. Do you have any apps that are running in some sort of overlay?
Thank you Sir, I am actually running greenified which is just like this lux app your talking about, good look.... I had a feeling it was something I had installed, I'll uninstall and see if it works

Hi there;
I reinstall the stock rom on my nexus 5. At the beginning all my apps get well installed. But I see that Zooper Pro Widget didn't install, I try to install it manually but I receive the message error RPC:S-3...
I found a thread on XDA a tried everything were mentioned there but nothing works .
The problem seems to be with Zooper cause I can install other application without problems.
Any idea ?
Did you install the latest stock image, 4.4.3? Maybe zopper isn't compatible with it yet

Got the same issue at the moment with an app (Scrum Poker).
I tried clearing stuff (google play and google play services - didn't touch the play framework data yet) but to no avail. The app is constantly nagging me about updates and I will probably end up uninstalling it.

I hope you will have the same luck I have. I had to wait just one day and everyhing seems to be good now.
It seems that's a a random issue. I was updating my apps when I only had this error with CM Browser.
This is happening to me too, I thought that it's because I rooted with towelroot.
I had to download the apk using apk downloader chrome extension and sideload it.
I could not update using play store. I uninstalled it tried to install it fresh but I still got the error. After I sideloaded it, I uninstalled it and tried to install it directly from Google play and it worked!
Edit: the apps that I could not update were gtasks and badland.

Did the same, and now I don't get the nag about the update. Guess there was something odd, since I had to "force" to download the latest, so maybe the error is actually on google's side and I have been resetting and reconfiguring stuff like a mad man for nothing
Exactly.I cleared data for Google play and Google play services, uninstalled updates for Google play, I even cleared data for Google framework but nothing helped. It could be a Google issue.

More tests:
I can install a new app or uninstall an app and then reinstall it without a problem.
It seems that only apps that have updates generate this error.
*EDIT* There's a new update for rayman fiesta run and the update worked so the problem could be fixed already
*EDIT2* I uninstalled Badland and it still gives the error when I try to install it fresh.

I'm assuming this is perhaps an issue on Google's end somehow. I've never had this error, as I've always been stock/rooted. However, I am now getting this error when trying to update the ESPN Sportscenter app. I figure I'll just wait to see if it resolves itself.

Yesterday I was finally able to install CM Browser. I didn't do anything to fix it.
In my case force downloading the latest version from play store (using the chrome extension on my desktop) did the trick. It seems that the version that google was serving me by default was 2.3 though it was notifying me that it had an update ready.
Guess it's some sort of caching issue, but for me it was annoying (was so close to reset the phone).

Just an update from my post above. I was getting the error all day yesterday trying to update the Sportscenter app. This morning, it updated fine. I didn't do anything at all. I guess a little patience does go a long way.
So after that latest update, I kept getting systemui force closes's and I couldn't figure out why.. Well I narrowed it down to the Substratum themes I was using to modify the systemui.. I was only using the standard Samsung ones that we get to center the clock and change the icons to AOSP, but those were apparently enough to make it do that.. I tried multiple times to fix it but each time resulted in a hard reset and had to start from scratch..
Hopefully this saves some who haven't done the update yet..
Side note: I think it has something to do with Samsung Backup literally saving every little detail and modification we do within certain app's, and the security update didn't like something about that perhaps..
Same thing happened to me. Even after I uninstalled all the themes and substratum I still got the FC.

Cool. Thanks. So none of the substratum themes will work I assume.
You have to uninstall all of the Substratum theme stuff before you do the OTA. Says so in the thread and in the play store description. Just an FYI.

I'm running swift dark right now and it's fine but I was told by the developer not to theme the system ui because it could restart the FC's. Can you confirm if that's the case for you?

I never used the system UI technically that is not supported on any Samsung devices with out root. It worked before, but was never officially support.
My father just updated his S8 with substratum installed and now hes getting FC all the time. Is there a way of recovering for this without losing everything? Thanks.

Use adb to uninstall the Substratum overlay apks. I think the system ui overlay apk is the most important one to uninstall.
Then it should reboot fine
I dont have adb

You can set it up on a PC really easily.
You could try booting into "safe mode" and uninstall ingredients the overlay apks that way.
I meant on the phone, activated. I do have adb on my phone and my computer.
Safe mode didn't work eigther.
I ended up performing a factory reset.
Thanks anyway to all
This happened to me last week. I called AT&T and they ran through all their BS, they didn't have a clue what was causing it so they had me take my phone to a Samsung Experience Store AKA Best Buy. The tech there was useless I knew more about Samsung phones than he did so I ended up doing a factory reset. After getting my phone all set up and my apps downloaded I rebooted my phone and the same, thing so I called AT&T and they sent me a new phone priority which took 7 days ?. I got my new phone set it up download my apps did the update yesterday and boom same thing. My first mistake was not coming to this forum and not doing a search.
(This 'Should' be common knowledge when using substratum or any third party overlay that interacts with system files.)
But you should always uninstall any system overlay before performing a software update.
Otherwise you risk facing the SystemUI Force close issue.
If you are rooted you can recover via recovery (TWRP)
if you are not rooted the only way to recover without loosing your data is to try this:
How to recover?
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Reboot your device
Hold down the Volume Down key while booting up
You are now in Safe Mode
Go into Settings -> Apps, then find the overlay you think is messing up and uninstall!
How to recover if the above doesn't work? (Credits to Evozi)
You will have to boot up in Safe Mode (comes default on every device)
Turn on screen and press power button. It will show "Shutdown", "Restart", "Emergency Mode"
Turn on "Emergency Mode", keep spam the checkbox so you can tick the checkbox to proceed the agreement. (phone is super lagging)
While you are in emergency mode, you have very limited access. Open any system app and go to recent task list.
Long press the app task, press the info icon and app detail page will appear.
Hit the back button and it will show your whole app list.
Find your overlay and remove all its storage and phone permissions.
Deactivate Emergency Mode and now you are back to TouchWiz.
Uninstall the overlay app.

I was testing new and old system overlays when the Note 8 first came out to see what worked and what didn't, the ones that didnt gave me this problem.
You will most probably find the first one does not work and the second is a pain to get working, but personally i have had the Emergency mode method work for me after a few trys. I gave up at one point and started downloading firmware files to be honest but i gave it another shot while waiting and it worked.
Hope this helps - Hit thanks so this post gets shown to other users coming here looking for help

I rooted my device and happily started debloating.
AOD (which I really do not need) also had to go, but it seems this is giving me issues with my lock screen. The issue being that there is no clock widget installed, causing me to have a lock screen only showing an ICE number. There is minimal and not being able to tell the time at a glance...
I tried re-installing, but it keeps force closing on me (cannot modify the settings, device freezes for short times). No permanent damage; but I cannot get it to work.
Tried clearing cache and data for AOD, of no avail.
Anyone know what I am missing in order to get it re-installed?
Thank you!

Still on stock ROM; had to use Odin just yesterday to fix an issue with the Play Store (same thing; issue, had to uninstall, continued force closes).
How can I flash the stock ROM (given it is 3,5 GB)? Put it on my SD card and flash with TWRP?
Thanks.
Just download the stock ROM zip for your device and carrier from sammobile and Flash using odin using download mode on your phone.
If you were rooted is simpler, just download a stock based ROM like SolDier's and flash it through TWRP.

How about installing AOD and then setting it as a system app with Magisk? There's a mod available to do that. Maybe it'll work then? Definitely worth a try before reflashing stock.
Also make sure you install a compatible version from APK Mirror. Most newer versions aren't compatible with the Galaxy S8. Go ahead and install 3.2.80.4 (that's the one I have installed on my phone right now).
Perhaps try installing that version and then try it out before going through the procedure of installing Magisk.
Hope that works for you.
see whether it disabled or no

This works almost! No continued forced closes; however the screen on action takes forever (in comparison to other actions on the S8),
I am just wondering how come the re-install does not work properly. Titanium removed the APK; I install another one.
Why is AOD acting weird?

Ok, you've installed apps from the PlayStore, that doesn't tell me anything. What apps have you personally installed on the device that is not a stock app or stock app update?
Boot your device into safe mode, if the touch issue does not occur while in safe mode, that is a sure sign that the issue is caused by something that you installed or possibly a setting that you changed somewhere.
