First of all, I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place, so sorry if I'm bothering anyone by doing it. I also apologize for the following wall of text:
Now, My device is an HTC One m8 with stock android 6.0 and sense 7.0 firmware
It's rooted, bootloader unlocked, s-off with TWRP installed
However, it has usb debugging OFF!
I was restoring a backup from the SystemUI.apk from Titanium Backup and it got stuck restoring it for around an hour, so I decided to restart the phone, now, all I'm getting is a black screen with the message "System UI has stopped unexpectedly." and two options: Send report to HTC and Don't send. Whenever I click any of these options, the message disappears and reappears an instant after.
I'd like to know if there's a way to fix this issue, or if there's a way to enable USB debugging via TWRP in order to be able to install(?) the SystemUI.apk again (Which I don't have but keep searching for)
The last option would be to flash the stock rom again, but as far as I can tell, I need the USB debugging to be ON, which is kind of a bummer.
I really, REALLY need some help, I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find a solution for this
Thanks in advance!
TL;DR: Phone stuck in black screen with "System UI has stopped" and USB debugging turned OFF. Help?

Usually adb will work by default in twrp, you may have to hit mount first and check system if it is not already checked.
You can also use the file manager in twrps advanced menu to copy the SystemUI back into place and chmod it to 0644.

lright, so I go to TWRP, mount system so I can copy the file to my phone? I tried that, but perhaps I didn't do it the right way. What do you mean by "chmod it to 0644"? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob in this whole android experience
And by the way, Do I need to rename the "SystemUI.apk" file to .zip for it to be recognized by TWRP?

In the file manager in twrp it will recognize it as an apk so no need to rename it. Just copy it to /system/priv-app/ if on 4.4 or /system/priv-app/SystemUI/ if on 5.0+. Then chmod is to change the permissions of the apk. 0644 is rw-r--r--. You can do this with twrps file manager also...after you copy the apk into place.

You're right it was recognized by TWRP, but I just can't find the /System/priv-app directory. The only folder inside /System is a folder named "bin", is this the right place or am I doing something wrong?

That means the system is not mounted. Go back to home in twrp, press mount, then check system. Then try again.

Will do once I get it working, right now I went to TitaniumBackup and tried to restore my sysui backup, the app installation window came up asking me if i wanted to update my SystemUi app and I accepted, but after a couple of seconds it said "App not installed" i tapped "done" and titaniumbackup is now "Restoring App+Data" which is what it got stuck in the last time I tried... Should I wait a while longer and see what happens or did something go wrong?

Well, the good thing is you have a phone with firmware and fastboot readily available. If it comes down to it you can always get it back to stock. Hopefully it will work for you though, so you don't have to go through the trouble.

If you are on 3.1 still like I am, I bet you are getting extremely frustrated when the Update notification keeps popping up (Where is that damn never ask me again button??!!)
Well here is the fix! I do not take responsibility if this breaks your xoom, computer, or your face
First try deleting the zip file out of your /cache/ folder (did not work for me)
Then try replacing your build.prop file with the following
***Please note this has been only tested on Tiamat 1.1 rom running Android 3.1****
Instructions:<
ADB:
Extract build.prop to your ADB folder
ADB Remount (should say successful)
ADB push build.prop system/
ADB Reboot
Using Root Explorer, make system writable
move build.prop and replace exisiting
Reboot.

because the update offers nothing that I don't already have on my rooted and heavily modified version of 3.1.
It takes to long for me to get everything set up just the way I like it, so until an update actually gives us anything worth while, I'm content staying "back" at 3.1, with all the bells& whistles. I can read & write to my sd,overclock, undervolt, read & write to external drives, etc.
What am I missing from 3.2?
-Killed my Swype installation, which was a deal-breaker for me.
I just removed the zip from cache, said instal update then hit cancel when it failed to reboot and haven't had it since

Can you confirm that the app is in the /system/apps/ folder? If it is, using an app like xplore.. you can manually set the permissions to 644 or rw-r-r
EDIT: Don't flash this using rom manager or fix permissions using it. Thats probably where things are going wrong. Use Clockwork Recovery to flash the zip, then fix the permissions there. Unfortunately your the only one having issues

Finally got it to work! Did it using a roundabout method as described by Snalfio in the unofficial JB thread.
-Extract the TaskManager.apk from your zip file;
-copy it in system/app;
-manually set permissions rw- r-- r--;
and tadaa, it magically spawned in the apps drawer. I've flashed the 0810 japps, maybe its causing the zip file to be unable to be installed properly into the system/app folder.

1. Boot into CWM recovery

3. Flash task manager zip file.

If you fix permission after flash, task manager wont appear.
You must fix permission first, then flash it.

Have you tried a different kernel? Or different ROM? Or reflash the ROM? Make sure you wipe accordingly, before you flash. If that fails, you might have to use Odin to go back to stock.

Your phone has to be rooted and you need to have any root explorer installed.
1. I'd suggest to back up SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex from the folder /system/app and to think about a recovery plan if something goes wrong.
2. Copy my SystemUI.apk into the folder /system and change its permissions to rw-r--r-- (644).
3. Delete SystemUI.odex from /system/app and move SystemUI.apk file from the folder /system to the folder /system/app with a replacement of the existing file.
4. After a successful replacement you will probably get some errors, all you need is to restart the device.
PS if you don't know or understand anything from the above firstly read about it then act or otherwise you can damage your smartphone.
I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong.
That all makes sense, only thing I don't know how to do is change permissions for the apk. How do I do that?
EDIT: using both es explorer or androzip i'm unable to move the file to the system folder. I have no idea how to get it there. Should I try a different file explorer?

To change the permissions you need to go to the file properties. After that just cut-paste it into the app folder. Es file explorer always works for me . However it had a strange behaviour when I tried to use 'copy to' or 'move to', so just cut-paste.
Finally got this going thanks to your patience! I had to leave the permissions to rwe and only copy/paste would work for some reason. Had to reset my wallpaper and turn data back on after reboot.
Otherwise all good, thanks!

Scarcely a day has passed since the Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 and HTC One went on sale, and their software bits are already floating around online. You can grab the files to get the new red SunBeam live wallpaper, boot animation, and updated camera app on your device.
The new boot animation is a group of spinning Google-color dots. It's a nice-looking animation and it's not hard to install.
Instructions :
1.Place the ZIP in SD card
2.Go to Recovery
3.Just flash it.
Bootanimation : HERE
The camera app has the updated finger-friendly setting menu, volume toggle shutter control, and probably some other tweaks,can be installed normally : CAMERA
The live wallpaper can be installed normally. The file is right here : SUNBEAM
The camera apk wont install. Does the system camera and gallery need to be removed first?

Love this simple animation and would love to use it. Just a couple questions.
1. Can I backup my old boot animation and sound?
2. This may be silly and I see the term thrown around multiple times daily, but what does "flashing" something mean?
3. Does this animation have any sound? Not necessary just curious
4. I only want to update the boot animation an not the rest of the things. I don't want to tinker too much with my phone or I'm sure a "bricking" would be in my very near future. Does this Zip only change the boot animation?
5. Do I need to be running a custom rom or unlocked bootloader for this to work?
I am rooted on stock rom running 4.1.1.
Sorry for the elementary questions but I am just curious. Thanks for sharing!

1. Yes. You can back them up using an app such as Root Explorer or ADB. Just copy and paste /system/media/bootanimation.zip to your SDcard.
2.
"Flashing is the term used to install something on your device, whether it’s a ROM, a kernel, or something else that comes in the form of a flashable ZIP file. It is the process of applying a firmware image or a ROM, to your device and usually entails a very specific order of steps. If you don’t follow instructions, you may end up bricking your device." -Derek Scott at Android Central

3. Nope.
4. It will only change /system/media/bootanimation.zip
5. You can flash in Safestrap if your bootloader is locked. No custom ROM is necessary.
Awesome thanks so much! I take it that I can't just copy the file over to the correct directory with root explorer?

You can extract bootanimation.zip from the zip package, but it is easier to flash the zip through your recovery of choice.

Unlocked Bootloader, check. TWRP installed, check. Flashing Zip in TWRP, "Failed"...
Since this phone is newly unlocked with TWRP installed, is there a step I'm missing before I'm able to install?

when flashing, make sure to mount system first (wiping cache/dalvik helps too).
of course you have the wrong "zip".
unzip the file on your PC, and if you can navigate via the folders to a file named "bootanimation.zip" - then that is your actual boot animation file (this file can be added by moving it via root explorer).
Awesome thanks so much!

This is incredibly frustrating.. due to my lack of knowledge I'm sure. I unzipped the file to my PC. Copied the contents to my SD card. Wiped dalvic. Mounted system (this is the only part I was unsure if I did correctly). Clicked Install. Navigated to the bootanimation.zip file. Swiped to confirm flash. Failed.
You shouldn't have had to "unzip" anything. Just install the file in recovery as downloaded.
The instructions for unzipping would only be used if you were manually installing the animation via a file manager.

I have tried two ways.
1. Downloaded Google_Bootanimation-flashable_zip.zip to SD. Went to TWRP. Clicked Install. Flashed it. Failed.
2. Downloaded Google_Bootanimation-flashable_zip.zip to PC. Extracted zip. Copied contents of unzipped file including Bootanimation.zip to sd card. TWRP recovery. Clicked Install. Flashed that one zip file. Failed.
The only thing I can think of that I could be doing wrong is mounting the system.
And to be clear. Last night Step 1, unlocked bootloader. Step 2 TWRP install. Step 3, trying to flash the zip. Is there a step I'm missing? I have cleared dalvic cache a few times during the trial and error of flashing this zip.
Rooted. Stock 4.1.1.

Flashing the file simply did not work and ended up being a waste of time. Unzipping the file and copying the bootanimation.zip file over with Root Explorer took 30 seconds and was extremely simple if anybody happens to run into the same problem as I did.

FWIW, some of the 4.2.2 ROMs allow you to more easily swap your boot via settings (even gives you a preview).

A 4 2.2 rom is the next step I'm looking forward to. Just wanna make sure everything is working properly like the camera and such.

everything works fine on 4.2.2
as long as your phone is rooted, unlocked, and TWRP installed, you can do anything you want to it.
I heard the camera was not working properly. And I heard stuff about battery life. All that fixed?
