Now I know that revolver parts isn't working on the new ics build, but is there a way to change our soft buttons? I tried flashing a package from the revolver parts report and it did not work. However, the keyboard down button did change, so I was wondering if it was possible to just move some files around to the proper location.

See my sig, any villain theme should work.
I tried a couple of those, but still the same thing, only the keyboard/multitask down button actually changes.
Here u go.

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?

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:

smthng like: activate magnifying glass, use it, deactivate it, one-hand-mode should work. it do not work.

Just make sure you backup your data even if it won't erase it, just to be safe in case something happened

Reflashing stock firmware will solve the issue, I guess.

yea, before i unlocked bootloader and installed magisk i was on pure stock and installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perfectapps.muviz
after i used it, took some settings, deinstalled it my mini-view was broken.. then i made factory reset and all was good again...
but now i have magisk and applied all my app and userdata backups from old phone.
... in the next days i try to flash system only and try to inform myself (and you ofcause) if flashing system partition will harm in any kind my files, settings, etc.
thanks guys so far.
maybe there is some other trick to bring this function back

Ok, we'll wait for your response
so, i managed to get myself to the "mini-view option screen" by entering the (from playstore downloaded) activity manager and there i startet the correct activity.
since my could not find this point in my settings i had to go that way.
see screenshot.
http://imgur.com/Q1Mxq42
so the function was enabled, is disabled and re-enabled it. nothing. still no swipe for mini-view
disable it, restart, enable, restart still does not work....
is there a way to find out why this is like that?
can someone maybe check the code, what this switch actually do to a system file, so maybe i can take a look inside mine and change -a number for example- by myself?
reflash anything to my phone is the last way i guess... that cant be the only option.

U can do that easily by swiping on middle button to recents button on navigation bar. Works on both sides.

the touch works without problems.
i just think that the navbar-app i installed earlier somehow broke this feature for me.
i dont want to say "please guys (n girls) try this on your honor 8 and see if it breaks the feature on your phone, too."
i think the app changed some settings which were accessible without root-permissions and my honor 8 can't change these settings back...
but if someone maybe plans to backup his/her system.img and is free to try the app and if it breaks this feature it maybe help.
so that i can say if it is really the app fault.
maybe someone knows the file in the phone where the variables for the mini-view are stored to change/check it all manually?!
thanks so far
new info:
i extracted system.img from latest update.zip (update.app) and flashed it via twrp. after that i wiped dalvic and cache and booted the phone.
mhm.. nothing changed =/
all settings stayed the same, swipe to mini-view still not working....
anyone know in which partition the systemsettings are stored ?
I don't know in which partition they are.
I'll search
[problem solved]
problem solved!
i just got into
Settings>
advanced settings>
restore/backup>
reset all settings
not the nice way i guess, but it did the trick and now i'm able again to use mini-view (and have the slider back in settings again)
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

Im using the stock oneplus launcher i tried nova launcher to see if the problem still occured and it was present as well.
Same issue I had yesterday with Lawnchair V2. I thought it's launcher related, so uninstalled and installed an older version of Lawnchair v2, the issue was still there. Uninstalled and again installed the latest version, and now no freezing of the home screen. I have no idea what fixed it, but glad to know that it's not launcher related and something in the OOS.

I'm afraid Its not related to the launcher as I'm having this issue on the stock launcher. It tends to happen when you have frequent notifications and unlock the phone fast. Cleared cache, factory reset and even rolled back to a prior build via fastboot and it still happens every now and then.
