Hi all!
suddenly the swipe left or right gesture on navbar broke, my screen does not resize anymore =(
i think it just happened after i downloaded a navbar related playstore app to change icons etc in navbar or view visuals in it.
i deinstalled the app later and then the gesture for one-hand-mode was broken i think.
i tried to fix it like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQt22hNG3Q
smthng like: activate magnifying glass, use it, deactivate it, one-hand-mode should work. it do not work.
Any help how to get this back?
i'm on (stock) emui 5.0 android 7.0 with magisk, systemless root and twrp

reboot do not solve,
wipe cache do not solve too...
maybe wike dalvik-/ART cache? where is it for?
i dont want to loose magisk.
and i dont factory reset...
i played in my mind to maybe flash stock system and hope thats it maybe brings the hidden option back?? then i dont loose anything, maybe just some options in settings, right?

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.

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

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)

[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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
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

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

I uninstalled a system app via Titanium Backup, i think it was huawei lock. Now i cant find it anymore even when i factory reset and wipe data, but the main problem is that whenever i hide my navigation bar, it cant be swiped up again and the suspend buttons wont show up. The fix that i can think of is flashing a new rom or update emui 3.0 if it works.

Hello folks! I recently updated my phone to MHA-L09C45B102 and i have an issue with the app Drawer, no icons! They dont appear when i choose this option, but when i put the "Classic" Huawei UI, all the apps are there. Anyone knows what happened or what should I do? I dont have it rooted, and i havent unlocked the bootloader, its as stock as i bought it.

Hi all,
I have a sprint HTC U11. I have TWRP installed and the phone rooted via SuperSU. I installed the Wifi Tether Router app and got it to work. However, the app did something to mess up my WIFI and I am no longer able to turn WIFI on at all anymore. It just says "Error" in the WIFI section when I open the phone settings.
Can someone please tell me how to restore all of the factory WIFI settings to get rid of this problem?
Thanks.
You can maybe try Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Network Settings Reset to see if it will help..

I suppose you have also tried this from their support page (if I googled correct app):
Q: After using the app I can not use WiFi, I can not connect to WiFi networks
uncheck the "Scan Always Aviable" on WiFi Advanced Settings on your phone and reboot your phone

I have relocked my bootloader as I am selling this one as Solar Red is on it's way so I cannot test it.
I might be completely wrong, but there is that or similar setting now in Location -> three dots menu in top right corner -> search -> enable wifi scan or something..
I have no other ideas except obvious ones or googled ones, if you uninstalled app, rebooted and still doesn't work you can maybe contact developer or someone here uses that app and can help you..

No, I am not familiar with that process.
I believe that is flashing without wiping, on top of the existing rom install. I'm not sure that this will help; but that is what I've seen discussed as dirty flash....
So this is a conceptual only answer.
I am having the exact same issue. Anyone come up with a fix?
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.

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 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.

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.

Click to collapse
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
