Status bar and softkeys missing help!!!!!

Tried installing a mod thru metamorph to put a background for the softkeys. Instead it DELETED the status bar and the soft keys. Now all that shows on the screen is the normal homescreen extended all the way past where the softkeys would be. Please tell me there's a fix for this.
*EDIT* I've wiped and installed a new rom. Still no dice.
COME ON ANYBODY!!!!!???????

Had the same problem after installing another ROM.
Restoring my backup solved the problem for me.

Wipe data/cache, format system, and wipe dalvik cache.

Sorry to bump this thread up!
But now i've got the same problem..
I'm running Jellybean 4.2.1 stock but recently rooted using the Gnex Toolkit (which is the eadiest thing!).
I've downloaded Rom Toolbox Pro via the Play Store and was checking out the possibilities of the app.
I saw the option to change the dpi from 320 to 240 at first, wich always looked nice on screenshots and such.
Then i was looking at the Theme Manager where i can change the status bar from stock to transparent and installed it in app.
After rebooting, suddenly my Status bar and my softkeys are gone...
After using the device without the back and home buttons, i did some research on it and found out my device needs to be deodexed before wanting to do it safe?!
I got no backups made, as stupid as i am, and tried installing all sorts of themes for the status bar..
The most obvious option to me is to wipe dalvik cache since that was said all over the internet.
I could really use some help on this, since i dont want to backup my pictures and music because im scared that when i do a wipe, all my data is lost -.-
I might sound stupid, but if there isnt any other option, i might install a different rom.

Since you're using the stock, you might want to try install the system.IMG you've downloaded via fastboot, wipe cache and dalvik via CWM (Assuming you have CWM installed), the same thing happen to me while installing mods, flashing system.img on top fixed it for me. The other solution is to flash another ROM, you might want to backup your apps via TB in case of both fails
EDIT: This is assuming than you've flashed to stock 4.2.1 via fastboot/toolkit, the easiest method to fix this by far is installing a ROM .zip in CWM, but if you want to stay stock for some reason you may want to try following EF Rant's return to stock guide and flashing everything BUT the userdata.img, instead you would have to boot CWM and then wiping cache/dalvik, or if it still doesn't boot, factory reset. It won't touch your picture and music, but back it up regardless to be safe.

Nav bar + status bar is related to SystemUI.apk, most likely the mod did not install properly, reflash the ROM zip.

Thanks guys for the quick repy!
Isn't there any way to reinstall the systemui.apk? I've tried clicking on it so it installs the apk but didnt work.
@reysonance: im gonna try the Factory Reset option. ill post an update as soon as i did the reset.
The only reason for me to root the device was so i could use the USB OTG option so i can place music on my carradio's usb using a file manager.
I dont know if i have clockwork mod on it, ill check it out tonight.
Thanks again!

Thank god the factory reset option worked for me! A huge thanks for this, reysonance!!!
Now i need to reinstall all my apps .. sigh .. but anyhow i can use my device again as it normally did
Thank you, This thread my be closed as far as my concern

Same problem here. I've just flash a new gallery app and it now keeps on force closing my stock gallery. I think that there is something interfering the stock gallery. Also android.process.media always stopped. So what can I do to fix this? Thanks...

Best option, flash back the stock firmware or install the xperia gallery from here

Have yuo the old gallery .odex file in the system/app folder? If yes this can be the problem if you have flashed a deodex gallery apk. Try to rename .odex in .odex1

2. Download Gapps from same link above
2.5 Download Underwear Kernel from same link above (then drop it all in root of phone)
3.Do a Nandroid backup (I think i already did this in the rom manager app. Do i have to do it again by going into recovery mode? Or is it just two ways of doing the same thing?)
4.Boot into CWM recovery
5.Wipe data/factory reset,
6.wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache,
7.go to mounts & storage and format system.

This is the best help I could find for backing up the IMEI, but I've NEVER had an issue with it and I flash ROMs all of the time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915
1.First off, it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766684 and yes. That is correct.
2. Correct
2.5 You don't need to, it is already packed inside the ROM.
3. I always do a Nandroid within Recovery. I didn't know you could do it anywhere else.
4.Yes
5.Yes
6. Yes
7.Yes
8.Yes
9. No, Kernel is already flashed from inside the ROM package.
10.Yes
11.Yes
12. No

Here are my steps. First I am rooted on 4.0.4. Then I download goomanager from the android market. Open goo and hit the menu button and install open recovery script. This will install twrp recovery. Then I reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset and clear cache. Next I make a full back up in twrp. After that I reboot the phone and back up the imei with nv backup and peoples army method. I did both because im paranoid. Copy your files to your storage. Next I go back into twrp and wipe again,flash the latest work from task. The underwear kernal is included. Last flash gapps. Reboot and feel pimp!

before you get started, in Rom Manager, update your recovery to the latest version if you have not already done so. back up your IMEI then proceed. cheers

Thanks for your help. Final Question: I noticed that Tibu has a option to turn all of my backed up apps into a update.zip. Can i just do that and use it to restore my apps in the recovery menu once im done? Or do i have to do it the long way through the Tibu app?
Or should i do it another way?

you can use the paid tibu to batch backup your apps in a flashable zip, yes.
do NOT include system apps/data in this backup. you will only have problems if you do.

I don't recommend that. Last time I tried that, it corrupted the app data, so I had to restore the normal way with TiBu. It might be better now, but just the issues I have ran into.

Okay, everything worked great! I only have three problems. First one is my notification bar at the top of my phone is clear. Not 20% tranceparency but 100%. Is there a way to get the black bar back? Also, How do screenshots work? And is there a way for enable landscape mode on the home screens?

i dont know about your notification bar. maybe someone running tasks 4.2.2 can weigh in.
to take a screenshot, hold vol down + power buttons together
unless task has landscape mode built into the ROM control settings, you'll have to use a launcher like Nova to enable that

Notification bar might need a reboot to take effect once you set it to 100%. Also, try setting it to 0% and back to 100%.
Nova is the main launcher with Task's AOKP, go through the settings if you want your homescreen in landscape. Also, you can just use the auto-rotate feature (in the pulldown menu).

To get the black bar back at all times go into settings->ROM Control-> General UI->Transparency settings. Uncheck "Match lockscreen alpha" and turn them both to 100%. This will give you a black status bar and will stay consistent.
With the screenshots, voldown/power button. Sometimes you have to hold them for like 1.5 seconds to get it to work.

Scratch that, after flashing it I'm getting a boot loop. Are you on the Wi-Fi or LTE version? I'm on the Wi-Fi one and I noticed your stock framework-res.apk is ~8MB whereas my one is ~14MB, any idea what might have gone wrong?

ehm im on the wifi too and i just reflashed them and everything is okey about the size when u zip a file it gets compressed thats why its 8mb (and you should flash it in recovery not push it to /system/framework )

You're right about the compression, when I looked inside the zip in Solid Explorer it said the .apk was ~8MB and I assumed that it was telling me the uncompressed size the same way the likes of WinZip would. I did flash in recovery when I got the bootloop but I'll try again.

make sure you are on stock factory image i just did it for my n4 too, must be something wrong on your end because its just a line of code that has to be changed. There is nothing that can go wrong there

I doubt this could have anything to do with it but are you guys on Dalvik or ART? I'm on ART myself

Completely stock flashed the system.img after each failed attempt of the boot loop. Also tried it as art same thing also flashed it with CWM instead of TWRP still the same loop. First it loads and I see the lock screen then it reboots and just stays in the pulsating circles.
