I accidentally deleted SystemUI.apk from the following path:
root/System_ext/priv_app/SystemUI
I'm on a custom ROM — Pixel Experience 12.1
The device was working fine even after the delete until I rebooted it. Now after the boot up, the system UI doesn't load. It is stuck at lock screen which doesn't display. I can't use my phone.
Since the recovery is encrypted, I can't even access my data from recovery to back it up.
I've found a SystemUI.apk file for my android version from ApkMirror and put it in the SD card to copy to the original path where I deleted it in the Root but it gives the following error:
I need either of the following solutions:
a) somehow inject SystemUI.apk to the path in root from I deleted it and consequently be able to use my phone as was.
b) if a) isn't possible, then at least recover the files on my internal storage, which I am currently unable to, from recovery, because it's encrypted.
I've also tried dirty flashing the same ROM many times, without any result.
