Thanks bro!!!
This warning tells you that, or your sdcard is conected to pc, or it´s not but SystemUI.apk is not on sd card root, so check both!

Hi

I have installed your great mod, but sometimes it crashes.
Would be nice to have an option in this tool to force restarting instead waiting it restarts by itself (after some minutes sometimes).

Thanks bro!!
By clicking "Go to SystemUI settings page" button you can manually force stop it, once you´re at its settings page.

Hi

Thanks for your answer! :laugh:
But what I would to say is that I would just to "start" (not restart) systemui when it is crashed and is not active, in order to not wait that it restarts by itself.

Would be great buddy... but It´s impossible, once its a system core service, and only the system can manage it!!! We need to wait...

Bro, I don't actually know how SystemUI works. But, if it runs as a service you can always use am startservice shell command to start SystemUIService.

You´re right bro!!
But in this case, system can´t run properly without status bar service, so immediatly after we kill its pid, system attempts to start it with major priority, see logcat:

06-07 11:51:56.649: I/WindowManager(305): WINDOW DIED Window{2bdd7630 StatusBar paused=false}
06-07 11:51:56.659: I/ActivityManager(305): Process com.android.systemui (pid 385) has died.
06-07 11:51:56.659: W/ActivityManager(305): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService in 1250ms
06-07 11:51:56.659: W/ActivityManager(305): Scheduling restart of crashed service com.android.systemui/.ImageWallpaper in 11249ms
06-07 11:51:56.679: I/ActivityManager(305): Start proc com.android.systemui for restart com.android.systemui: pid=4531 uid=1000 gids={1015, 3002, 3001, 3003, 3007}

First two lines are proccess killed by RestartSystemUI.apk, others ones (red) are the system trying to restart it by itself, all in the same second. So if the SystemUI is delaying to restart, probably the system is with a high load of background data to process just before!! ;)

    Due to the large amount of people who like to change/mod your status bar (aka SystemUI) and also to ease some rework of copy, rename, paste, set permissions and restart the phone, I decided to make this simple application that does it all in two clicks, without restart your phone!

    How to install:

    - Uninstall previous versions if needed
    - Install it as normal apk (All device supported, Gingerbread and above)


    How it works:

    Warning: Possible wallpaper loss!! If so, just reset it!!!

    1 - Put your modded SystemUI.apk on the SD card root
    2 - Disconnect SD card (if not, the application will alert you)
    3 - Click on "Replace SystemUI.apk from SD card root and set permissions !!" button (wait and/or ignore any system error alert)
    4 - Click on "Restart SystemUI service now !!" button (the application will finish by itself)
    5 - Wait system restarts your new installed SystemUI.apk
    6 - Enjoy it!

    If you want just to restart your SystemUI, simple click "Restart SystemUI service now !!" button!
    If you want just to go to SystemUI settings info page, simple click "Go to SystemUI settings page !!" button!


    Screenshot:

    attachment.php



    Prerequisites:

    - A Gingerbread and above rooted device


    To do:

    - You tell me


    If you like it, just press "THANKS" button ;)

    Would you be willing to share your java code to restart SystemUI? I've been trying to add a restart to my xposed mod and it causes SystemUI to crash in a loop, requiring a reboot. Are you using am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService or just a pkill of the pid?

    Your app works fine though to restart SystemUI.

    Ok bro... no problem!!
    Here we go:

    PHP: 
    	private void killPackage(String packageToKill) {
			
		Process su = null;
		
		// get superuser
		try {
			
			su = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
		    
		} catch (IOException e) {
			
		    e.printStackTrace();
		    
		}
		
		// kill given package
		if (su != null ){
			
			try {
				
	            DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(su.getOutputStream()); 
	            os.writeBytes("pkill " + packageToKill + "\n");
	            os.flush();
	            os.writeBytes("exit\n");
	            os.flush();
	            su.waitFor();
	            
	        } catch (IOException e) {
	        	
	            e.printStackTrace();
	            
	        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
	        	
	        	e.printStackTrace();
	            
	        }
		}
    }

    So just call it this way:

    PHP: 
        killPackage("com.android.systemui");
