Yo guys I have an unusual case of the Google search bar missing from the recents menu on my nexus 6. I'm on 6.0.1 right now but I have had this problem since marshmallow. I've dealt with this before on lollipop and fixed it by going into safe mode and clearing cache and stuff but it doesn't work in this case. The curious thing is that sometimes system UI will crash while I'm using the phone which afterwords the search bar does appear in recents! It'll stay like this until I boot does anyone know what's going on.
Its a known marshmallow issue with all nexus devices. You'll probably be hard pressed to find a solution due to the search bar not being used much, to the point where custom roms include options to disable it.

i had a same problem. for me there were two apps which were causing this problem. UC Browser and Greenify.
if are using any of these apps, freeze(if you are planning to use it) and reboot or uninstall

I do use greenify. I froze it with TB and rebooted but I'm still having the same problem. Do you think there could be other apps causing the problem as well?

then may be there is another app that is causing problem. for me it was greenify and uc browser.For you there may be other than these two app.
here what i did to find causing app.
1) froze all app and reboot
2) unfroze one app and reboot
3) did 2nd step until i found my problem causing app.
you can try above steps to find.

This method worked for me. Worth a shot and kudos
A logcat would have saved all the extra blind testing.

I would try wipe and reinstall. I used fix number 4 and my htc apps have been completely removed.
I have to agree, I am also still seeing com.htc.worldclock and com.htc.lockscreen and clicking on them does in fact cause a FC. But I can confirm that those apps are indeed uninstalled, so I don't see it as a huge deal. I don't like using the manage applications menu anyways because it takes so long to compute all the sizes and load all the names, so not a huge deal for me. You think that maybe whiping the dalvik cache might fix this? Just a suggestion, not sure what it would actually do.
I don't know i will try it i just hope it not related to a bigger problem
I tried wiping via recovery and it tells me to flash via adb shell I'm currently running recovery 1.5.2
I have found that even on 1.5 if you removed a system app after it was installed on the phone that it still left a trace on the phone. the way I got around it was just by downloading the ROM unzipping it changing what I wanted to change and then rezip and resign and then flash then there is no trace at all.
im not to sure how to sign a rom is there a good page tutorial for it.\
Thank you

Wiping Dalvik doesn't fix this problem for me. I have the same issue -- "ghost" items in your Manage Applications menu that you know you have already uninstalled.
One temporary fix I've found is if you go into the Manage Apps menu and "Clear Data" in either "com.smithmicro.DM" or "Download Manager", all the ghost apps and pieces go away. But this doesn't last through a reboot -- those all show back up again after every reboot, so it's not a permanent fix.
Any others have any luck with clearing these "ghost apps/pieces" out of the Manage Applications menu?
(I'm currently using ZenEXP MT3G ROM 0.9.6.3)
I haven't looked into it, but I noticed the same problem. The app list must be cached somewhere, which is interesting because it takes a good 10 minutes to load the app list every time i go to manage applications, which is why I rarely use it.
Has anyone on the KF2 rooted had their statusbar flicker or would know the cause of or solution to the issue?
It just turns off then on, seemingly random. My turning on I mean it appears, the icons adjust to match, then it disappears about one second later, and when I try to swipe down on it, I can't get anything to happen.
Installed new status bars (non root ones) and it replaced the bar that flashes...but the same issue.
This happened after a boot from using KindleFree. I used most of the tools on it, if you want to know I can list them. The only thing that I can POSSIBLY imagine went wrong would be when I tried to see how it would handle the setting a laucnher. So I got nova, rebooted, didn't like nova, set apex as default by pressing home, and that was that. I can't find nova in my ROM toolbox list of apps so I'm not sure how KindleFree installed it, and I'm not sure if that even caused the issue.
Any ideas?
I planned to just reset, re-root and start from clean when I get home but I'm at work for the next 7 hours and I'd like my statusbar back haha.
Well, some update I suppose.
TabletBar Hider does something. When I open the app and press restore, it makes the statusbar flash and appear for a bit. It's the ONLY thing that seems to have a direct effect on when it seems to appear. I tried using apps that make the notification area appear, and those did not work.
My best guess is something is forcing it to close....but I'm not sure what, or why.
Suggestions?
Well.....I've fixed it.
I wanted the Chameleon launcher so I changed my build.prop so the market would think I have a Nexus 7. No, this did not work for the market (I think I need to clear the cache) but, my status bar works! No idea what happened folks but.....there you go?
This thread can be locked or removed or whatnot. Since I really have no useful insight as to what broke or fixed it.
Signs point to installing Nova with KindleFree broke it, and that changing my build prop from a blaze tablet to a nexus 7, fixed it.
It makes no sense to me either, but that's what happened! Oh well, at least it works now. Happy modding and New Years all!

Have you installed Gmail by any chance?
I don't have the kindle fire 2, I have the hd, but for me gmail is the usual culprit for that like mentioned earlier. Other apps have caused it though. Usually going through and opening all the apps you used before it happens will clear that up. I do believe it's some sort of issue with notifications.

How did I not find that thread? Thanks! It could have been. From my thread, you can see my fix didn't seem related to me, BUT, yes, I did install gmail using KindleFree so that may have spawned some issues. However, I have used gmail since, and no issues. I'm not really sure what changing the build.prop does beyond supposedly trick the market, which didn't work for me. Thank you though! Hopefully we get to the root of what exactly this is! Two issues so far, both fixed in different ways. If it happens again I will try your fix and if that works then it's for certain gmail and hopefully we can help future issue finders!
I'm rather curious of getting market to believe the kindle is another device... it would be nice to not sideload so many apps
If you have success with this please post back with your build prop edits

Well this is smth new. I have just bought my new z3c and its working all fine. Im installing apps no prblm, until suddenly the phone won't install anymore! The page to install the app comes up and the cancel button works but the install button doesnt click!!
I can only think to blame AVg bcuz I had activated it just before this prblm happened. And there is no.deactivate option on AVG.
UPDATE: restarted phone and killed AVg; prblm still exists
Anyone?
Please?
Reset the phone while saving your data
Does it happen on Wi-Fi, mobile data, or both?

Yes, the only solution I came to was to reset the phone. Not the best option since I had to do everything I had before again. Anyways, it's okay now.

I don't think that would be relevant to the problem. The problem is in parsing the apk.

I once found that if I limit background data on an app called "Media" (in settings, data usage), I could not download any apps over mobile data from Google Play as long as the background data of that app was limited. It may not have been the case for the OP but who knows?
The problem is back again!

Nope. The only solution I found was to be patient and wait. After a couple of hours, or a day or two I try pressing the Install button once again and it works. I just let it off my mind for some time until the night, or the next (couple of) day(s). Interestingly, this isn't a problem if I'm installing directly from Google Play which installs the app itself. That's why I think it could be a security module or something.

I have screen filter, but I reckon this problem existed from before installing screen filter. Plus, I reset my phone once which also means deleting Screen Filter, but the problem still exists.

Some apps interferes with the installation process, like LUX, or some screen filtering app.

Uninstall updates to google playstore app. The reason it worked when you reset your phone was it reset all apps back to their factory settings. Then apps would install until google play updated itself again. So try just uninstalling updates to google play, worked for me. Good luck!

Soft boot should achieve it as well as a power down and restart.
As I remember it's always been like that, not a bug per se. Installing an app that has widgets needs a reboot to see them in the widget menu.
I am screwing with widgets, especially Zooper, all the time I guess I've never seen this issue because I run Apex or Nova.

I use GNow exclusively as well. since right now I'm stock and unmodded, then it would be a 5.1 issue to me ... but let's clarify, one installs an app, and you then go to the widget listings, and you see it? I've seen some that do get included right away, and some I have to reboot to then get to to place on a homescreen.

next time it doesnt show up in the widget menu, go to the developer options in the main settings and press restart system ui.

Glad I could help out, was same for me, had layers installed for months and bam!
First issues with GHangouts fc then weeks later Photos fc. Photos took much longer to figure out. I tried clear data, reinstall etc.
Hopefully layers will be updated soon to accommodate apk.
