Clock gone on Lollipop

Hey Guys i finally flashed the official lollipop rom (Poland) to my note 3 but after that i can't open the clock app, at the beggining i was thinking that it was a bug cause i didn't do a factory reset on the phone and i only erased data/cache from recovery.
I tried to reflash the rom without deleting the data but the problem was still there, so after that I did a factory reset and delete cache/data from recovery but nothing i can access the clock via svoice with commands such as:
set timer
set alarm
and only via alarm widget every other action that i tried didn't work i tried also via safe mode or to install a clock.apk from aptoide and from a custom rom but nothing.
Does anyone else face that issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Issues After Root - Rotation and Encryption

Howdy,
I got a new Note 4 from Bell Mobility about a month ago...
I updated the software, rooted it and installed the Wanam modified Xposed framework.
I have lost the automatic rotation, except for the built in camera software. Nothing else will auto-rotate. Checked the gyroscope and checked a few 'leveler' applications - all tests pass. Oddly I noticed the camera software still auto-rotates, no idea why it is special.
I tried the Wanam Xposed module to 'Enable all rotation angles' it has made no difference. With screen rotation software, currently have "Rotation - Orientation Manager by Pranav Pandey" installed. Auto-Rotate On and Forced Auto-Rotate neither option will rotate the screen when I turn my phone. If I choose Forced Landscape, it will go into Landscape mode. The only way to return to Portrait though is to use one of the Force Portrait options though.
My other issue is with turning on Device Encryption... Using SuperSU Pro for su..
If I just go through the prompts without changing anything, it reboots but doesn't encrypt.
First I tried installing as a system app so I could use the Disable function in the Android Application Manager, as I did with my Note 2, SuperSU tells me "Not (currently) available in system-less root mode".
If I turn off "Enable Superuser" in SuperSU, encryption enables properly, but I am unable to turn the "Enable Superuser" again, it says it has to update, but the fails. Suggests a reboot and try again. Sadly, this did not help.
I had success with one of the exploit root methods, KingRoot. While this worked when my phone was encrypted, it wasn't stable and kept popping up stuff. I tried to replace it with SuperSU, there are a few guides written to do just that, but they all indicate that it is very hard to get rid of, regardless, none of the guides worked for me. I ended up resetting the phone and starting over...
I tried the CLI command to start the device encryption from a # prompt..
vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace password 1234567890abcdef
The phone rebooted a couple times, but took a very long time (hour plus) to come back to the Android Lock-Screen.. But still a non-encrypted device. If I intrupted the process because I thought it had crashed, it started up and immediately told me something when wrong with the encryption and I need to use Recovery to reset the device..
As for root methods, I was using the CF-Auto-Root at first, trying to look for solutions to both issues, I tried a few ways of getting SuperSU installed.. The last time I reset I tried the "SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit" method. 'Grasping at straws' to get SuperSU installed into /system so can use the Applicaiton Manager to disable and enable it...
My mobile's specifics, if it matters..
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Model number - SM-N910W8
Android Version 5.1.1
Baseband version - N910W8VLU1COK3
Build number - LMY47X.N910W8VLU1COK3
Currently have the Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0 recovery software installed.
I am looking for suggestions for both issues, but really want to avoid resetting the phone if I can at all possible... Yes, I have Titanium Backup Pro installed, but have never actually gotten a restore to properly restore all my applications and data... I rely on it now just for the Uninstall and Freeze features.
For an update,
I also noticed that rotation works on the Lock Screen and in the camera applicaiton.
If I rotate my screen on the Lock Screen, the red handset picture and camera icons rotate.
If I rotate in the camera application, nothing changes position, but all the icons rotate as well.
I'm still completely stuck though, open to suggestions...
For rotation, it is likely caused because you removed the com.thingy.facebook system app. I tried removing it because I thought is was bloatware but read somewhere that messing around with it cause the auto rotate and pedometer to fail. I fixed it by reflashing the rom without data wipe then never removed it again. Page Manager is safe to remove though.

Thank you,
I had it frozen for a while, completely uninstalled it, trying to see if lack of space was why I couldnt' get SuperSu to become a System App..
I will try to put the facebook app back to see if that helps. Hoping I don't need to do a ROM reset, but if that is what it takes.

I tried installing FaceBook from the PlayStore, no change.. So I uninstalled it again.
Took a backup in Titanium Backup and in TWRP.
From the stock image, I extracted system.img.ext4 and used SkipSoft's application to make just this file Odin flashable..
Flashed it.. When I got back to Android, my phone hadn't reset (what I was going for ), rotation is working, SuperSU still giving root access
I went back into Titanium Backup, the freshly installed apps were listed on top, because there was no backup of them.
Froze each, one at a time and checked the rotation after each.. Froze all the apps with no backups, and rotation stayed working, which I thought was odd for what fixed it.
So.. The Facebook applications are all frozen, as they were before I erased them the first time, and rotation still works. Hurray..
Now for the device encryption, I will keep messing with it.. Trying FlashFire to mount System as RW and to write the newest version of SuperSU, hopefully it will install to System this time.
Thank you again.

This is amazing, can you please post the odin flashable file? I am having this exact problem right now because I removed it in TB. Is it just the facebook file that are flashed? Thanks so much in advance, you're saving my life here

Wifi/settings keeps force closing

After recently rooting and installing latest TWRP on my s7 edge (enoxys 935f), I have tried to install different roms. However each time I install a rom, even if i "Format data" and fully wipe prior to rom install I get an error when using the phone when trying to access wifi settings. it seemingly tries to open the screen then force closes and says "settings has stopped" with the option to "restart app". this has happened on the superman rom , renovate, and Tmobile volte+wifi calling etc rom.
Don't know whats up and how to fix this? I am able to connect to wifi that i specified in the startup of the phone when it was asking for my google account etc but not able to access this settings.
Thanks!
PS how do i make a log report if you need to see a log?

System UI failed to start after app permission changes

Hello guys, I hope you can help me...
I own an A2017G Version with the latest original Firmware, no unlocked bootloader, no root, nothing changed from stock. I noticed that many preinstalled system apps require strange permissions for contacts, sms, etc... So I tried to denie them. In the official settings - apps - app permissions I removed a few entries... So for example the contact permission from the SystemUI package.
After this the phone restarted immediatelly and after the multi image bootscreen I only get a black screen. No userinterface is showing up. The only thing what is working is the power menu. The 4 entries restart, shutdown, flight modus and vibration are shown in front of a completely black Background.
So, the phone is obviously booting up fine, but it fails to start the user interface correctly. Is there any way to repair this thing, for example by resetting all the app permissions? I found the command
Code:
adb shell pm reset-permissions
but I've got ADB disabled within the rom and with the factory test mode the command fails, because it says that the device must be up and the package manager must be running for the operation. So at the moment I see no way for resetting the permissions without a full wipe... Is there still hope?
I would really appreciate any tipps!
Did you try this?

How to Un-silent System UI?

Hi, folks. Few days ago, I updated my MXP via ota, from 6.0.1 to 7.1.1. As this is my first experience with Nougat, I turned off a particular notification without caution, i forgot what it's about, by long pressing the notification and selected silence.
When I look at Settings > Notifications, it turns out that "System UI" was silenced. (attached screenshot 1)
I don't know how to un-silent it as there is no longer said notification for me to long press, and no option to select (in screenshot 2).
If I use a new user, there is an overwrite dnd option (screenshot 3), so I think this might just be affecting some user preference setting.
I would like to restore this if there is some way besides restoring a complete twrp backup. Clearing its cache didn't help, nor did restoring "System UI 7.1.1" via Titanium-nandroid of the twrp backup. Is it possible to do it through adb, or another method?
