Does any one else experience constant FCs with the systemui process? I get it nearly every single time I use tweetdeck. Rarely in other places. It's a pain because the notification bar with its softkeys vanish and requires a hard reboot.

Sorry, don't use MUI so have no clue, but you might want to put that in the thread title so people using it read it.....
Have you tried fixing permissions? That usually fixes force close problems.

I am not using MUI. Where'd you get that from?
It's on the sd card, samdisk 8g class 4 (I did my homework), and I did try running the fix_permissions, but for some reason tweetdeck still throws an FC say half the time.

I saw systemui in the title so I misinterpreted that to mean you were using MUI.
What version of Tweetdeck are you using? The current version in the market is 1.0.7.3 and one of the updates is "fix rare crashes". I also note it reads the phone state, which we do not have. Has this ever worked on your Nook? You could try modifying the permissions by turning that part off.

I'm using the latest version of TweetDeck. I keep the market apps updated when they become available.
TweetDeck works great on the Nook, it's just half the time I enter it, I get a systemui FC (which is the notification bar). Once that happens, I lose the soft-keys and my notification bar. There's no way to do "back", "menu" or any of that then. End up having to restart the nook to get the softkeys/noti-bar back. When the systemui FCs, everything else works fine - tweetdeck still does its thing, i am just now missing my notibar/softkeys at the bottom. The NC continues to operate fine (I can go to the N/home button and continue using the screens, the app drawer, etc - just lost my noti/softkeys).
SOMETIMES, the system reloads it. Maybe 5% of the time when it FCs the systemui - about 2 seconds later it magically re-appears.
No other app or action on the NC gives me this crash, so I'm not entirely sure what is causing it. If I was getting random FCs elsewhere, I'd start thinking the SD card - but for all intents and purposes, the thing runs solid on the card. I use it for Netflix, DLNA apps to control my laptop and blu-ray players, Angry Birds, N64 and SNES ROMs, Google Music beta - and it's all champs.
Something about TweetDeck, though, is causing this silly systemui crash on me.
I've never had any other issues with apps that read "phone state" (and assumed that its that reason why we still have dialer and phone apps installed on our builds, so those apps won't crash).
Heck, I don't even freeze anything - it's a base CM7 install, no special tweaks. I even tried installing the Notification Restart app which is supposed to restart the notification bar - and that doesn't do a damned thing.

No, the reason is that CM7 was developed to run on a lot of different platforms so we get everything whether it is needed or not. I'm not saying it will work, but try killing the phone permissions.

CM7 is, yes - the specific ports, no. The Nook Color CM7 build (encore) keeps the camera, phone, etc - in there because some market apps, and market themselves won't work without them.

I noticed that the drm service (omadrmserviceconfig to be exact) is automatically turned on at booting on Froyo just like it did on Eclair.

It looks like the DRM service is draining the battery in Froyo like in Eclair.
I'm getting better battery life after disabling the service.
I'm surprised that nobody brought this up in a separate thread.
EDIT: I guess the thread mentioned above by decalex IS about this exact issue... sorry, missed that.
I've also heard from someone that deleting those apk's related to DRM will cause problemsin Froyo,
so I think it's better off just preventing the service from starting.
So I tried using the Startup Cleaner 2.0 app from the Market to disable the DRM service.
At first it seems to be working well, but after a while the omadrmserviceconfig starts up again.
Deleted the Startup Cleaner 2.0 app as soon as I found that out.
For the moment, I'm just disabling the DRM service manually (Settings -> Applications -> Running Services)
every time I do a reboot.
Anyone have any suggestion on automatically preventing the DRM service from starting?
BTW, thanks for your replies guys.

I'm on 2.1 still but I've been using startup auditor free from the market to stop this process at startup. It only allows you to block 5 apps with the free version but it has been working for me ever since I installed it.
I used to disable the DRM service every time I rebooted but eventually I stopped because I got sick of doing it and my battery performance did not seem to take a hit. I am leaving it enabled on Froyo as well and get good battery life. Maybe the DRM bug only effects some phones.

This seems to be the case. There was no noticeable decrease in battery performance on my phone in DI18 and Froyo.
(I've posted this reply before on a similar thread, but I thought I'd share my 2 cents with you here...)
You're not the only one running into this issue.
I ended up rooting my Epic to get rid of all the sprint bloatware and what-not. Everything seemed to be going smooth from the stock standpoint. I removed Samsung Media hub first. Rebooted the phone and noticed nothing bad. Played around with the setup like that for a few days with no problems.
I next got rid of both the DRM service .apk's that were still running even after I got rid of the media hub... and then the problems started. For the first couple days I noticed DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED battery life and EXTRAORDINARY performance so I imagined what I did was a good thing: WRONG! A few days later, I noticed that if I assigned a sound to a notification or a ringtone *from the SD card*, that it would not work. I couldn't play sounds anymore and instead whenever I went to adjust the volume with said notes/tones selected, the Sound_service would crash.
However, I'm the only person I knew before now who has reported this issue so I'm sure there's not a lot of hubob to fix it. Every Epic is built different. Same parts or not. It's a mass-manufactured phone and each one will have its own quirks. There's my 2 cents.

I've noticed the freezing in the built-in apps, but when I use third party apps to mix and crossfade tracks (PartyMixer) or just play music and videos (MixZing), they don't freeze.
It still makes me wonder though, why a system service that's not running doesn't crash the system, but uninstalling it does. Why should it make a difference if the service isn't being accessed? Stupid...
Whatever. I've just been disabling it on every reboot. Batt life is a little better, but still batt. life is *max* when I uninstalled all DRM crap.

I think DRM = Digital Rights Management. It is some kind of security service that is tied to the Market and anything Media related (on the Epic). You should get Titanium or Bloat Freezer from the Market and just freeze it. Don't delete or uninstall it.
I have this weird behaviour, that some app-icons in folder (not widgets) from apps i have moved to sd via settings (not app2sd) disappear after reboot. I have to kill the "Home" task and then they reappear. The apps also still listed as "installed" under settings->applications. Does anyone can confirm this or is my device buggy?
I allready tested different sds to make sure that the sd is not corrupt.
Cheers

That doesnt work for me. Some icons still not visible in drawer. I can see that after some time, several icons are added but not all. I have to kill the Home task and then all icons are visible. Maybe I try also lauchner pro. I also contacted SE support and they said i should send the phone to repair.. i think its a softwarebug. i really like the phone and dont want to sent it away for a couple of weeks. I also debugged the phone via adb logcat to check if there is maybe a fatal error accessing the sd, but i saw nothing unusual so maybe the se home app is buggy.
hm launcherpro kinda solved the prob. all app icons are generated in the drawer after reboot, but now apps ive placed in home-folders loosing their icons. it seems that mounting the sdcard after reboot takes too long and apps depending on sd having probs. hope its not a faulty hardware. ill do another test with class10 sd

Hey everybody
just got to play with my new sgs2 all day, and noticed whenever i sort my application in folders, and reboot the phone.. my application will go randomly so its not sorted anymore.. either its a bug or ?
but the folders that i put out on the homescreen is still as it was before, but going in the application menu, everything is just random after a reboot. really change..
so how do u guys sort your stuff, i do it by games, appz, tools & widgets, navigation and Samsung(bloatware
application menu just look like a mess
I haven't experienced such problem. My apps stay exactly as I organise them.
Menus sorted in order stay as they are after a reboot .
But installing new apps may move some around .

Try "touchwiz appsorter" from market.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
One of the weaker points of touchwiz, the seemingly random placement of apps in the appdraer, along with the horizontal scrolling of the app drawer (who thought of that, seriously?), there is an app in the market called touchwiz app sorter which sorts the apps but for a real nice launcher try go launcher, it sorts apps, in the tray, by running apps, alphabetically etc etc
I quite like dxtoplite it also organizes alphabetically or by genre or running etc and u get 5 home screens in a diamond formation really nice interface too
mine does sometimes the same that OP's gs2 does. it flips all the apps in the folder vice versa, eg superuser was first in the folder and now its in last place there.
happens randomly after reboot and im running rooted KF1

Ok I am having a weird issue with my new Atrix.
I am having icons of stuff I downloaded and added to the home screens disappear randomly.
Everything was fine all day, then I just went into my phone and noticed 4 icons on one screen were missing. The apps are still installed, just gone off the home screen. Not all of them on that screen dissappeared, just some of them.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, what did you do to fix it?
I've had my widgets disappear but not shortcuts. This usually only happens after a crash and random reboot. I flash different roms alot though so don't know if this is a stock problem.

I'm actually just running the stock launcher the Atrix comes with.
I would love to have the stock GB launcher like what comes on the Nexus S. But I don't think you can just download that from the market.
Go launcher is way better, I suggest you try it. ADW and Launcher pro also have free versions which are much better than motoblur.
Ive had this happen as well. My snes emulator was missing. My phone actually uninstalled it. Hadto reinstall through titanium backup.

ya for me it's the same 3 icons in the same place.
Today I moved all my stuff to a different home screen to see what would happen, and it still did the same thing.
I don't know if this is a GB issue or not. My Atrix already had GB on it when I got it.
I wonder if trying a different launcher would help. I was hoping to avoid using a different run cause I am fine with the stock launcher. I am not sure what launcher to try out. I used to use LauncherPro when I still had a Captivate cause I think TouchWiz looks like it was designed by a 10 year old. But LP seems a bit dated, hasn't been updated in awhile and it just too plain.
I was looking at Go Launcher, that seems like a popular one which offers alot.
Go Launcher used to do this to me all the time. figured out it was happening when the screen was being redrawn going from landscape to portrait mode. each time I would switch modes some icons would be gone and some would come back. theyve fixed this bug finally though in the last couple of versions...
I think when you update an app there's a chance it does this. Im sure there's more to the story but I am stock and its doing as you described but on the left screen from center
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I had this problem and it happened fairly often on reboots/power on. Mine wouldnt even show in the app drawer. Tracked it down to apps that were either installed in the Media Area (internal sd card) or External sd card. It usually happened if i started messing with the phone before everything fully loaded. If i waited a little they would eventually show up, sometimes.
If the problem apps are in the Media try moving them back and see if it still happens. I had a lot of apps in Media and external so I ended up doing a back up and then reformatting internal/external storage, then restoring. I haven't had the problem since, but i did move to GB and custom rom about 2 weeks afterwards, so that could have helped also.
I had a similar issue after unlocking my phone and installing a custom kernel. Revert to a lower version of pudding (unlock sbf file) and restore original kernel if u have one

I don't now if it was the new phone or the new Motoblur account which made the difference. I am thinking it might be the new phone though.
If it starts happening again I'll post another reply.
Okay so whenever I'm done texting or have to close an app to go back to my home screen all of the apps and widgets don't show up and I have wait for them to reload again.. it gets annoying cause this happens about 90% of the time I close an app. Is there a way to fix this thing or preventing from happening? >.<

For some reason, you have an app that is running that is taking enough cache memory that it is causing TW to close, anytime you are leaving it, instead of staying in memory. This is causing a 'respawn' (everything has to reload.). You have 2 choices here.
1. Figure out what app, or apps are running that you don't need, and shut them down.
2. switch to a lighter launcher. On the surface, zeam and adw are two of the lightest out there, but I've had the best luck in low memory situations with go launcher, myself.
In order to find which apps are doing this, my recommendation is to get rom toolbox (free is fine), and look in the 'auto start manager'. I'm sure there are several apps that do the same thing, but RTb is my preference. Once you get into that section, look at the list of what is starting on boot, and disable the ones you don't need. This won't make the app useless, but it will keep it from running in the background until you open it yourself.
