My notifications bar disappeared - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today, my notifications bar disappeared and I can not make her appear again at all, have tried everything.
Do not use any launcher, or any modified ROM.
Can anyone help me?

Try restarting your phone ; are you rooted? You may have deleted you systemUI.apk or messed up its permissions - they should be rw,r,r

Yes, I have root access, possibly have deleted this file.
have restarted the device several times, and not back to normal, now what? what do I do?

What rom is your phone on and what model is it?

Oficial rom 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)

Flash 2.3.4 and it should fix your problems, You will need to root again though which isn't a problem

How i use flash 2.3.4?

This is stock GB no expanded desktop lol. Find a gb systemui.apk and copy into /system/app then change permission to 644

Lock Sound

When i first got the phone I could hear a sound when the phone locked. However, after i updated to 2.3.3 (it bricked half way through(pc companions fault ¬_¬)) this was gone and i just updated to 2.3.4 and it still isn't there...Was this removed :
If so, is there a way to restore it?
EDIT- Also facebook seems to be chewing up 30mb + of ram now...I've tried removing anything related to facebook from the phone via titanium backup and then installing fb via the market but i get the same thing...
u would have to root ur phone,extract the attachment and put these into system/media/audio/ui and change the permissions to how the others are
This worked for me!! And u will have to turn it on in settings/sound/screen lock sounds
ENJOY!!
Just checked system/media/audio/ui and the audio file for locking still seems to be there "lock.ogg" ... So i'm guessing its just not incorporated into the system or is disabled somehow...
you could just use widgetlocker. that has lock and unlock sounds plus tons of lock slider options
Yep ended doing that

If you're on a custom ROM, just reflash the ROM. If you're on stock then I don't know.

I use original stock.
Really no way to find an update with my original SystemUI ?

You need to have someone with the same phone as you post a stock SystemUI.

installing insecure adb and setting the correct permissions for the systemUI (which is causing your force closes - if you used it on a compatible rom) is the only way i think...
Thank you for the help guys
I have no foce close. I have a window that "input mode".
It is only when the SIM card is in the phone

Status/Notification bar is no longer visible

I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???
Thanks in advance

Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.

I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Can a mod move this to the Q&A section please before it gets out of hand. Not flaming you bro but we as a community need to keep things in order and post where we are supposed to post. Don't worry we've all posted in the wrong section a time or two.

You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.
You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk
Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.

Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....
How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!
Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.
Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.
Thanks all for your help! :good:

[Q] Phone rebooting upon /system modifications?

I am brand new to android and recently rooted my M8. I was trying to change the /system/customize/acc/default.xml to hide the NFC icon and when I attempted to save the file the phone rebooted and later asked if I wanted to send HTC an error report.
I have tried this with several file managers which all have root priveleges. It seems as though this happens when trying to modify anything in /system. Am I missing something obvious?

I did the mod that exists currently and while it makes the icon transparent it still takes up space on the status bar. I was trying to set the nfc_show_icon setting to zero. Nothing is screwed up I just can't change the file.
yea i tried to install xposed and it did the same thing, at least i didn't have to restore my backup, but curious that the phone reboots and restores when system is modified...
the m8 has system write protection, wait for an insecure kernel/module to be made or use custom recovery and adb to make changes within /system

"Activvity is not exist in this device" popup when entering Lock Screen in Settings

"Activvity is not exist in this device" popup when entering Lock Screen in Settings
Hello everyone.
I have messed a little up while trying to install as system app some fake gps apps, and since then, my lock screen has been reset, there is no shortcut and when I try to enter the Lock Screen settings a popup appears with written "Activity is not exist in this device".
I can't really understand why doing that caused that.
I guess, somehow, the .apk about the lockscreen got deleted in the operation.
I am running Fulmics 4.3, I'd like not to reflash the ROM just for this little problem.
Does anyone know the .apk related name file or has another solution please?

How about you do reflash the ROM? No need to wipe data if you flash the same system image. You don't have anything additional stuff you edited on system partition that you would lose by reflashing it, no?
I can't seem to find 4.3 but I assume that 4.1 will work. (mega:///#!HE1QzYoZ!ktj3enhUe0_axivfQFC08jxuDKdo_UZ1gV2NzdZnlig)
Ofc do the backup just in case you get stuck in a bootloop.

Actually i would have to re-set up some anti theft apps installed as system app...and I should reflash the 5.1, then the 5.2, then 5.3, then the N style notification bar...
However, I guess I have found on the rom archive the apk I needed.
It should be LGLockScreenSettings_2.apk and LGLockScreenSettings_Provider.apk found under \system\app, the only problem is that I don't remember how to install them
On the root partition I can't find an folder called "app"...
I guess I'll keep looking for the system app location...
Thanks anyway
