I was trying to put a wallpaper on my phone, then all of a sudden the screen just goes black and say the system UI has stopped working. I hit OK and it continues to pop up. WTF?

reboot the phone by removing the battery. it's likely just a bug, though it could be some app you installed as well.

Did that and removed the app I installed ASAP. I'm completely new to Android and was pissed for a bit lol.

Re: System UI has stopped working?

same thing happened to be, but i've noticed that it only happens when I change my wallpaper using the Wallbase app.

my workaround was that i rebooted the cellphone (the default nexus wallpaper is set after this). i then tried changing wallpaper using the Gallery (Wallbase automatically saves the wallpaper in the gallery) or Live Wallpapers, and both seem to work.

so i think that the bug is in the Wallbase app... hopefully.

Re: System UI has stopped working?

the bug is definitely in wallbase. had probs with that apps on several phones. it is the best wallpaper app out there, but seriously buggy too.

what i do is, get the wallpaper i want from it, then uninstall it.

Same thing happening here when wallpaper is changed through zedge widget.. guess it's got to do with how you change the wallpaper

Running: Ics 4.04 on s2 hd lte

You probably don't need to do that ;). I've had it crash. I just hit the power button, wait for the lockscreen, then boom, softkeys back again a few moments later.

Factory reset fixed my problem. Backgrounds and Wallpapers app did it for me.

Re: System UI has stopped working?

Why is everyone reseting thier phone? :$ dont do that u will just lose data, just to get rid of this go to application manager and uninstall the application named 'System UI' , dont worry guys its fake, after uninstalling that you will see many icons on ur home screen, they will be juat icons, just remove them and you have solved the priblem. I guess its a virus app which is downliaded with some application and bombs your devuce with advertisements

I see the System UI app but it does not give me the uninstall option. I tried to delete it from my folder app and that isn't an option either. What can I do?

I don't think it is a good action, I tried to frezze it by using Titanium Backup and the result is completely dark wallpaper and I cannot set any other wallpaper.
