Hey all, this is my first post. I have a Droid X that has been running with Launcher Pro Plus for the past few months.
I rooted my phone the other day and everything was going fine. I downloaded Titanium Backup, ShootMe, and then Metamorph.
I've been checking out droidpirate.com and downloaded a few different notification bar color schemes, which were working fine. Today I downloaded another and decided I wanted to change it, so I switched to a new one through Metamorph, applied it, and rebooted my phone. Upon restart it was still the same color as before, so I applied again and before I could restart it gave me an error message that the status/notification bar (not sure which it said at the time) had crashed.
I restarted it, and ever since then I've had no notification bar. I've tried reapplying the color schemes in Metamorph and restarting after, but nothing has changed.
I've gone to the Launcher Pro settings and toggled on and off the "hide notification bar" setting which hasn't changed anything. I've restored my backup in Titanium Backup and it is still the same. I'm not sure what else to do at this point.
What do you all suggest? It really sucks to not see my battery meter, time, etc. when I open my phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
bump, if there is a better thread this should be in then my bad, just let me know which
bump? any help is greatly appreciated
bump, this will probably be the last one.

What exactly is meant by "flash the same ROM again"? Sorry, I'm pretty new to all of this.
Firstly I'm in over my head. I tried to install the Touch Wiz Control Panel that's in the notification bar and Now I have no notification bar. I followed these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103126
I'm not sure what went wrong. My phone isn't rooted and now I can't fix it. any suggestions on how I can take it off since the install failed?

That it's for a specific Rom... that's probably where you went wrong. I would back up everything I could, and do a factory reset then restore backups. Since your not rooted, your options are reduced. Go sms pro comes to mind to backup your texts, I think there are some other options in the play store that also work without root...

My s3 has been acting funny lately.. the GPS seems a little wonky. I noticed when flashing a 4.2 rom.. my GPS seems to want to work..then just won't get lock on its own..I have to toggle GPS on/off to force it to work..and even then its not very solid. When I flash back to a 4.1 rom.. it seems to work. It gets lock on its own..but even then..I notice a strange inaccuracy.. I use My Tracks..a free GPS app..when running side by side with my tablet..the location seems weak on the phone..while driving in a straight line..it shows me on the other side of the highway..but near..not too fat away..then sometimes it seems on track. Now on the tablet..its dead nuts accurate.. showing me driving straight..not like I had a twelve pack first..lol..could formatting the SD card of damaged something? I wonder if all the flashing I do screwed something up..

i usually
run gpsfix
"fixed"
open nav
type in address

I made a backup of mrom..so you are saying to now try flashing the back up? I'm really confused why its broke for me on 4.2 roms..

Gpsfix has always worked for me so i haven't tried it.

Ok, I'm nan backuped back to stock JB touchwiz.. have gps lock.. will try and nan to mrom.. fingers crossed.. lol.. does this work for other 4.2 roms as well?
My only fix
I have had the same problem. On CM10 my GPS works flawless but when I go to CM10.1 the GPS only works for an app if I toggle it inside the app. I have only found one fix so far for it to work in CM10.1.
Here's what I used from buhohitr (post):
Download the zip, unzip it, then copy the 2 files (gps.conf and certificate) to /system/etc of your device, reboot and try out your gps. Let me know how it goes. You must be rooted to do this.

When trying the tw lock way go straight to recovery after getting a solid lock. Don't close out maps or anything.

I read on XDA, someone talked to a Verizon rep and said it's a VZW bug, not ROM/phone related. This worked for me, here's the fix:
Clear Data on Maps
Clear Data on Google Services Framework
Go to Location Services and turn OFF Verizon Location Services (leave other 2 ON)
Reboot Phone
You should now have GPS lock (hopefully)

If you can get into download mode, you're still OK - you just need to odin via PC. Check the MD5 and filesize of your root66.tar, if it's failing it's most likely a corrupt download. If they match and it still fails, what is the error message that comes up? Once you flash the stock img, get superuser and a custom recovery, and from there I hope you made a nandroid or can clean flash a new ROM. Hope this all helps.

Yeah, I've heard just Odin back to stock and then a clean flash can do the trick. I still recommend getting the app called GPS Status and downloading the aGPS Fix. Good luck!

Of course I spoke too soon when I look at the 3 choices under location settings it's missing the Verizon setting it actually only has 2 settings plus 1 location setting toggle at the top which activates the 2 at the bottom it's a different layout.. It's gone back to only working what I toggle it on and off again..
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Hmmmm that sounds like the ROM had changed the menu layout. The problem could be a ROM related issue. Have you checked if its been reported in its specific thread?
Also, go to Google Now (or Google Search), hit menu and go to settings. Check that Google's location services are on.
Lastly, I've heard about and seen better GPS with Wifi turned on, even if you're not connected. Try that too.
Sent via SGS3 using Tapatalk
What worked for me 100% is the app called GPS Status & Toolbox. Worked flawless. I have zero issues and locks solid in less than 20 seconds. That is the longest, usually 5 seconds is normal for me. Program runs when outage GPS enabled and running google maps.
I have tried them..just doesnt work unless i toggle gps on/off..lol..but its strange I can go back to 4.1 and gps works fine... All 4.2 ROMs give me the same issue..the GPS works fine..just doesnt start up on its own when I start maps or something.. I have go toggle GPS..then it works..that goes for any GPS app..just like the one u are talking about..it sounds like your GPS was indeed coming on at least..just weak..my icon doesn't start unless I toggle it after starting GPS app of choice..

Hello everyone,
it is not allowed to me to post direkly to the right tread (10 posts minimum:angel. So I take this way in hope you can help me. I tried pwnyourace's "asanti_c-user-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14". Flashing works fine without any errors. After booting the first time the softkeys and the upper pull down bar are not present. It seems I did something wrong. I did it this way:
Basis was Version 77.6.36, rooted
boot into recovery
fullwipe
install zip-file
(once with wipe devlic cache and once without)
reboot
I tried somedays befor Rangerbry's "Battery 1% - Notification Toggles For a Stock Phone" with the same result.
Thanks for any help!!
What do you mean 'fullwipe'? Are you doing a 'factory reset' after you flash the ROM?

No I did the factory reset befor I'd flash the ROM
i also have the same problem. seeing as though its happened with a couple different mods ive tried i suspect its a systemui thing

But I did not understand why this happen. When the complete Flash is fresh, why there are differences between the results? It would be better to discuss this in the concerning thred, but I need 7 more posts to legitimate
So lets discuss this here. I have seen that there are more users with the same problem.
In some cm10 releases especially for devices with softkeys there is an "expanded desktop" option, that can be enabled in bowerbutton menu.
When enabling this option the desktop behaves exactly as described - softkey and status bars dissapear for a bigger screen.
Seems you hit the same system-ui by mistake.
Btw you can test this functionality by using SkrilaxCZ's CM10 built, as it provides this feature.

The system-ui is in the kernel? When I restore my backup the Softkeys works fine!
Is there any possibility to go back in Menu without Sotkeys?

Now I know what the system-ui is. But I tried Rangerbry's "Battery 1% - Notification Toggles For a Stock Phone" with the same result. and why work my Softkeys when I restore the backup of my Stock?
Now everything works fine. Install Stock from rangerbry. Than Twisted_Asanti... than Rangerbry's "Battery 1% - Notification Toggles For a Stock Phone". :good:
Now I'm on ASA14 with the modified Softkey's (feels like heaven)
It seems that something was bricked. Thx to all

[Q] Please help! "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped"
I have a rooted nexus 5 running CM11. I kept getting this message before and I didn't know why so I posted here and someone told me to wipe my data so I did. That fixed the problem for about 2 weeks but it's back again. It happens so frequently now its very frustrating. It happens when I open an app, update an app or uninstall an app. Not every time but most frequently when updating. Why is this happening?! Please help and thanks in advance!
Just reflash your ROM or flash a different ROM and your problem should be fixed

Do you use Xposed or any theme mods? Probably something like that causing it.
As spinninbsod said, just dirty flash your ROM again or clean flash a new one.

Cool, just make sure none of the mods are trying to do the same thing, like change battery icon etc.
If you're reflashing ROM it also might be worth taking a fresh back up before reactivating Xposed, just to save reflashing if something ***** up again

You can change all that stuff in GravityBox and XGEL so might be best to just use those instead
Due to an update of an Xposed module, I had badly corrupted my systemui. The phone was totally unusable, and I could only press the OK button notifying the stopped event at startup.
Lucky me, I still had not updated to 4.4.3. Via Skipsoft Android Toolkit I updated to the last Android release, and my systemui got fixed. I did not choose to perform a complete wipe, so I actually maintained my previous apps. In relation to root, I did not loose it, but I had to reinstall SuperSU to get the non-official apps working again.
I hope this helps somebody else in my same condition, with no need to do a system wipe!
thank you. this helped me today.
woke up with the error. assuming its gravitybox and xblast causing an issue. will remove xblast.

Xposed does not actually "touch" or change SystemUI in any way. Xposed puts a couple of "files" in system which allows intercepted commands to be changed, without changing the actual code.
When you updated the ROM via a toolkit (PLEASE don't use toolkits by the way) you would have overwritten these Xposed files.
The simplest fix is to just remove the Xposed files
