[APP] Easy Replace and/or Restart SystemUI.apk Utility - By Serajr - v2, 20/04/13

[RavinduSha]

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:



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!!

Thanks bro for the logcat and explanation
So that means nothing will change even if we try to start it or not. And we have to wait.

You´re welcome bro!
Another thing that is taking too much time and is making me thinking... why? It´s the fact you do not be RD yet!

failed to install

why i cant install this app on my XJ JB?

 

[bsanghani]

it worked for me, but can you please add some delay between it replacing and restarting the phone. I think I saw some message but could not read it. However as I said it worked and I can see the changes which I made to the systemui.apk on the phone now.


Thanks

The app not restart the phone, just kill the SystemUI process and OS restarted it again (because it's system process) ?

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:

	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:

    killPackage("com.android.systemui");

I thought just kill it, because it system process OS restart it again

You´re right bro... Thanks for support!!!!

A feature that triggers the notification ticker will be useful, this app kinda didn't fix my issue.
I'm playing with statusbar transparency and center clock, there is a black bg image that is used as a background to the ticker (so the notification doesn't overlap the centered clock), but this bg appears and stays on the statusbar every time the statusbar is restarted. Only way to get rid of this is to trigger a notification, that is, a ticker text, like receive a text message notification on the statusbar or something and the statusbar will then be transparent and back to normal again.
Iirc this was made possible by an app called Notification Restart, but it's does not seem to be compatible with CM10 as it does nothing.

OP?

Sry for this blunt explanation i'll post a screenshot tomorrow if needed.

Thanks...

I´m working on a new version that will check for proper system partition type to remont it as r/w, so you´ll be able to replace SystemUI.apk on any platform. Soon...
