I recently upgraded to the Android 2.1 on my Droid ERIS. When I installed AHome I set it default and it crashed, again and again. So now I can't get to the home menu or settings... then 'AHome has stopped responding' shows up every two seconds. What do I do, I can't get in and the recovery isn't working, I have the 2.1 Boot still on the SD card. Right now I took the SD card out and it just gives me a screen with a large yellow arrow and the Android icon. What do I do? :confused
--update--
OK, I'm removing AHome as we type... I found a way to get to settings from Advanced Task Killer. I'm glad I kept the Notification in Information bar enabled. Or else it would be impossible... tks for not answering... I'm kidding.
--another update--
And woo hoo! I got rid of the HTC Sense thing. Now I have the Moto Droid look (except the information bar is still black)... but I got everything else. Woo Hoo!

Ok guys here is a weird one..
My mother just got an HTC Flyer, and it is still stock / not-rooted. I did an OTA update as soon as the Flyer was set up and ready to go. Its running Gingerbread 2.3.4 and the build is now 2.23.405.4 CL104635. I installed LauncherPro for her as Sense is a bit laggy, and she recently started having a problem where the tablet keeps forgetting its default home launcher.
I narrowed the problem down and basically this is what happens. No matter which launcher is set as default, as soon as you pull down the notification bar all default launcher settings are cleared. You can tick the 'use by default' box again, and switch between and use apps to your hearts content, and pressing home will bring you back to your homescreen, but as soon as you pull the notification bar down, pressing home asks you which launcher to use.
Obviously the first thing I did was go to settings > applications > manage applications and clear defaults for either HTC Sense launcher, or LauncherPro, neither of which work. I've tried apps like homesmack, homeswitcher and cleardefault, none of which make any difference.
This is a bizzare problem, and again I say, it is easily reproduced by simply pulling down the notification bar
Any ideas?
Very wierd. I use ADW EX Launcher on my Flyer and have no such problems but I see no reason that other launchers should not behave properly.
I've tried various other launchers, and even did a factory reset, but the problem is still there. When trying any launcher besides HTC Sense, the default home is instantly forgotten when the notification bar is pulled down, and I am forced to choose between the two launchers EVERY TIME. 'Use by default' is useless.
I'd like to avoid rooting for now for the warranty, but I don't see any other option!
This is driving me insane! Come on guys, any suggestions?
my wife's incredible just started doing this exact same thing last night. I have no idea what caused it, and no idea how to fix it. Making me absolutely crazy. Going to try and backup her stuff and factory reset it.....it worked fine until yesterday.
have you tried Home Switcher app or similar?

Easy solution... unlock the bootloader and put Honeycomb on it, as per globatron's instructional thread. It's pretty straightfoward.
Lol, not on an incredible.

Totally missed that part . Wasn't expecting people to talk about problems with the Incredible in the Flyer forums haha
Thank goodness, I'm not crazy. I have the exact same problem and it was (is) driving me nuts, but I couldn't figure out that pulling down the notification bar was the event caused this.
It's rather odd, because I'd been running Go Launcher EX for a month or two without any problems, then this prompt started happening a week or two ago. I cleared launcher defaults, reset them, etc. So I decided to try ADW. Still: same problem. Uninstalled Go Launcher EX, still the same problem (with ADW still installed).
I have a stock HTC Sensation running Sense 3.0 on Android 2.3.4. I don't remember seeing any updates come down for Sense or Android when the problem started, but perhaps I don't recall something. I wonder if a recent update to Launcher Pro caused the issue that stuck around even after being uninstalled? I don't really want to do a factory reset to try getting a clean machine that never Go Launcher installed.
I'm still frustrated by this problem which I haven't been able to solve. I know Sense adds things to the notfication bar like the "Quick Settings" tab. There must be some part of Sense that is activated when the bar displays causing the issue on the next press of the home key.
If any of you have found a solution, please post!
Thanks
I am having the same issue. Running stock Android 2.3.4 on my HTC Rezound. Also on my HTC Thunderbolt. Both when running CyanogenMod and HTC Sense. Also my mother-in-law has an EVO 4G running CyanogenMod doing the same thing. Its frustrating and I have tried eeverything but call HTC themselves. Its frankly starting to piss me off.
If anyone finds a solution, please let us know.
I have the same issue with HTC EVO 3D. Pulling down the Notification bar or Long Press the Home button would reset the Default launcher. I also found out that if I take out my sd card, it doesn't happen any more but I couldn't live without the sd card.
I have the same problem. But only opening notification bar clears default launcher on my HTC Evo 3D (not long home button press). I don't have my Evo rooted because of warranty and too early state of alternative ROMs. Removing SD card didn't help in my case.
Please help, it makes me crazy. I tried factory reset but this problem is now back after few weeks and after installing my favorite 150 applications only into internal memory. So avoiding SD card didn't help and I also don't know the reason.
When I try to switch to "mount sd card" on the computer, I get this error. I believe I switched to the "themed" status bar, and I think that's the problem. I try to go back to the "Stock" status bar and pretty much the whole thing crashes for a bit, then reboots to the "themed" one.. so.. mm yeah. That, or the two are the same (but they aren't.. i've used both ).
I'm pretty much a total noob when it comes to phone stuff. Should I just wing it and wipe all my data?
The attached pic is the error I get when I hit "click this to change setting" for mount and stuff. then poof buh bye status bar
I get a systemui error when I try to change the status bar.
Thanks for anyone who helps!! <3

Not sure how your phone is set up, but almost sounds like your custom status bar programing is on your SD card...

Think of it this way... What programs do you still want access to when your phone is in usb mode? Personally, I have any programs related to phone use and settings manipulation on phone memory, all others on sd card memory. Like anything that is a customization or has root access, leave on your phone. Hell, I even transferred my personal ringtones to phone memory.
Go to settings/applications/manage/downloaded tab. Each app that you click can be swithed from being stored on phone or SD card memory there. Be sure your phone customizations are not.

Rooted nook on cm 7, after I started using it today, I lost my status bar and soft buttons. I did not go into settings and change anything. Any direction towards some help on adw launcher would be appreciated.
Thanks
Try reboot? I have lost my launcher a few times. My status bar once or twice. A reboot always fixes it. Not exactly sure yet what has caused it. If it happens again, get a logcat or dmesg and post it up for the cm7 team to check out.

try doing the obvious thing first and reboot? i had that problem with beautiful widgets and a reinstall of that app solved the problem. did u restore adw with titanium backup? if u did try reinstalling adw.
The status bar disappearing I believe is a CM7 issue in and of itself. I run CM7 on my phone and it has happened on the phone more than the NT.
Thanks for the responses. A reboot has brought everything back as it was. Enjoying my CM7 tablet and the support on this forum!
Did it force close, or did it just disappear with no error or warning?
If no error, it could have just been hidden.

I'm sure the regular version of ADW has this too but I have the paid version to go off of. You can set gestures to show/hide the "DockBar" and/or "StatusBar". Regardless of wether it was a gesture or a glitch you may want to try this if it happens again:
Long press on a blank space on the home screen.
Select "Launcher Actions" from the menu.
Select which ever you need: "Show/hide statusbar" or "Open/close DockBar"
Then just press the new icon on the home screen to restore the statusbar or dock.
Personally, my status bar disappeared without error. Nothing I did would get it to restart other than a quick reboot. Which I am accustomed to anyhow so it's not really a big deal to me. As for the launcher disappearing, it happened. No error. Reset/restart ADW does nothing. Again, this has happened on my NT, my phone, and a coworkers HD2 phone running cm7 as well. It's basically something that I (and her as well) have just learned to live with. Restarting is quick enough to bring everything back to life.
I've got the paid version on four devices (Two NT's, a HD2 and a G2) and have never seen this. Perhaps it's an intentional limitation in the free version... Just kidding. I'd send the author an email about it. Try the widgets I suggested, I'm curious to know if they work to remedy this. Also check that "Gestures" isn't turned on and configured in the Setting (if that's even in the free version).
The home, back arrow, menu soft buttons vanished along bottom of screen. How do I get them back? I tried the show hide funtions under launcher functions but no joy. This is the default sd cm7 with the gray green android on home page. I am sure its an operator error. Thanks in advance
Are you sure the status bar did not force close? That would be my first thought.
If not, what launcher are you using? The default ADW?

I did get a force close on esfile manager just prior to that and. I did notice the bar was gone at that point. I powered off restarted, buttons reappeared. I think that might have been my first or second force closeinseveral months and yes it is ADW default. I would like to go to theCM9 with CM7 sd but I will wait a while.
All the Best

Glad you got it figured out. The reboot usually does the trick for little did like that.
Also, if you're interested, you can run CM9 off a microSD card. Let me know if you are and I can find the link to directions.
Evening Everyone,
Spent the day playing with rooting my tablet (longer than expected but, eh). Ended up going with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 and installing an embedded clockwork so I didn't have to hassle with an imaged sdcard all day. Everything worked great, some flaws with the rom but it is generally really stable.
Started playing with the settings and all of a sudden I got a message that the system UI has quit working. Now the status, notification bars and navigation buttons have disappeared. So far I have:
Rebooted
Opened Trebuchet and cleared the cache (and rebooted)
played with the settings to try and at least get the tablet bar to activate, it didn't (and rebooted)
Anyone have any solutions on how to get it back? I haven't tried reinstalling the rom as I wanted to try you guys first before I go and redo everything yet again.
Thanks for your help!

try holding the power button until the menu pops up and there should be something along the lines of "toggle status bar"
I have an option to "Expand Notifications" and it does drop down the extended notification bar, however it disappears right after use and I still do not have status or navigation buttons.
It is acting like I have full screen time out activated, but I have checked over and over and it is not
Got it
had to set the full screen timeout, exit to home, go back into settings and clear the full screen and violin, it is back...
(those captchas blow ass!!! this is the fourth time...grrrr...)
