Touchscreen went stupid after rooting - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I rooted my Note 4(N910P) yesterday. I then flashed CWM. I get on my ROM to test root, then reboot into CWM to test and make sure it works fine. I go to click on the navigation buttons at the bottom and they do not respond. I figured "whatever, must be a bug or something" and I reboot back into the ROM. I go to use my phone and the touch is 'off'. If you look at the screenshot below, the touch test one, I marked white Xs where my finger is actually at on the screen. Look at the number for the dark grey one, it is over 1440. It seems that after rooting, my device now thinks I have a 1480x2560 screen(touch wise). I'm at a loss as to why. My S Pen works fine, though.
What I have done to try and fix this-
Tried a custom kernel as someone mention an issue with a kernel/driver that a custom kernel may fix.
Tried to go back to 'vanilla' aside from the tick on knox, of course.
Custom ROM at one point, even.
Tried removing and pulling the battery and MicroSD card.

Are you sure you flashed the correct file for your device?

Is this a problem?

I just got this tablet recently, not too much surprise since i am already user android 2.2 rom on x10
But i notice there is time where this tablet fail to respond to touch command say after a long timeout. As in i can't move the bubble to unlock the screen at all
I tried to turn it off and the pop up wasn't even responsive at all to touch.
Is this a failure on my tab alone or anyone else have the same problem ?
Also it is common for the tablet to have a slow respond to screen switch and rotate a lot ? I found my tablet go portrait mode even lie down (i want it to be landscape).
please indicate what version you are running and what kernel.
i have no such problems running 3.1 upgraded tu .38
Wrongfeifong from The Order of the Silver Hand? If so Korgana here cool that you got this same tablet lol.
I've not had any problems like that yet.
No, I havn't had any issues and if you want to be landscape use the rotation lock switch, it's beside the volume butons.

Sorry, had to.... anyway, if you are running 3.0 and not 3.1 it could be the "Removal from Charger" issue and causes it to lock up? I dunno, like the others said, what is your current version?
I just got it right out of the box and never update
3.0.1 android version
2.6.36-0001 kernel
and hey small world isn't it? yea i am the same person from silver hand.

weird browser bug with some roms

Ok so I typically run the stock rooted roms that get pushed out by such people as DutchDanny since in 3.1 i was able to recolor the navigation bar which made everything blend nicely. After a long while I decided that it was time to rom it up since i am a flash-a-holic on my tbolt as it is. Now I primarily use my tab 10.1 wifi while at work and tether it to my tbolt to watch any videos or shows that I want since I work overnight and our internet is selectively blocking access and flash to sites like ch131.com. So in my scenario the browsers flash playing ability is key.
One thing I have noticed while testing out 3 roms (Overcome, Stock/rooted KMM, BinDroid, and Galaxy Task) is that the browser seems to want to work differently when playing flash videos now. Now keep in mind I wipe everything atleast twice (data, cache, voltage, battery, dalvik cache) so its fresh each time and below is what I am seeing for each of the 4:

Galaxy Task
Does anyone have any idea what that gap on the bottom of the video between the players controls and the navigation bar is being caused by. As you see in the stock KMM rom it should not be appearing and even when task650 was kind enough to provide me with a flashable replacement for the stock browser rather than the xoom one, the problem remained.
dont suppose anyone is able to replicate this?
I used ch131.com to test videos

[THEME]M3NT4L-Star Wars

This is something that I've been messing with for the last few days. I've never tried modding stuff before now, but hopefully this will pass for a decent one.
It isn't the final that I am hoping for, but so far so good. I have just ran short on ideas. And I am game for just about any suggestions.
If anyone would like to try this just flash the zip in CWM. It modifies images in 2 files, all located in system/apps. They are... Acer Ring.apk, as well as systemui.apk
It has only been tested on my tablet which is running Civato's Flexreaper R1 with the v4 bootloader. I Can't say anything for compatability with other roms. I would guess that it will be fine tho.
My request to those that install this would be to please share any ideas for some of the other system icons (specifically those visible on the home screen.). Icons like the wifi (needs to be something that has levels for power indication.), the microphone up near the search bar and the app drawer launcher icon.
Screenies...

I will add to this as time permits. I'd love to do something with the lock screen, just need to figure out where that sucker's hiding...
Also, if you do something goofy and bork your tablet, as usual, it's all on you...
Enjoy!
p.s. Thanks to Civato for the great rom, and unknowingly giving me a little nudge in the right direction. Plus I used his MOD installer zip and FlexReaper rom as the base for this.

Nexus 4 only working on Jellybean (4.2.2)

This is very strange...
Okay, it's the second Nexus 4 that I own (my other one works well, even has Nougat installed on it)
For some reason, it only works on Jellybean version 4.2.2, I've tried to update it to all of the factory updates and yet it gets stuck on a endless boot loop at the start. Very weird.
I've tried to wipe the cache: it does nothing.
I've also tried to Side-load a custom ROM: it still does not work.
I've tried to update it via 4.2.2: it still does not work
I've made a 3 hours research on the internet and yet I found nothing. It's very weird that it does this, and I'm probably the only one who has this problem.
The reason why I am working on making this phone work, despite having a working one with version 7, is because I wanted to gift it to my sister. Yet, I find Jellybean a bit too old for this phone, and would also be cool to have all the features that is include in either Lollipop or Marshmallow.
It would be awesome if someone who found a solution to this problem, to share it with us.

Have you tried flashing factory images? I think that must work
Nitin
Fix
I just just fixed it!
I've realized that the screws where missing on the bottom, so I've opened the phone. I took the plastic shield off and realized that the Earphone Jack was not plugged. After plugging it back, I tried the update thinking it might be the solution and it is!
So basically what android does, it initializes the hardware while booting. It discovered that there is a component missing, so it got stuck on the initialization.
Thank you for trying to help c:
I still appreciate it!

Flashing a custom ROM on a ZED AN817DK?

Hey fellas,
I've done some flashing on android before, but only on smartphones, instead of a car multimedia. My model is ZED AN817DK.
It looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The launcher it came with is kinda disgusting, so I installed Nova Launcher instead.
Regardless, the system barely works, even on the stock settings / factory reset status.
Apps are crashing, changing the audio option in Waze takes a whole 2 minutes to even open up the menu for the option
(the app works but the input is unresponsive for 2 minutes until the menu appears).
I've tried contacting the shop I bought it in and they sent me a "firmware" update in the form of an APK file that will not launch in the device. I don't think I saw an option in it's administrator settings or anywhere else to update firmware via file (only check for firmware update - and it's always "up to date").
So I think I'll resort to flash a custom rom on this. I'm a bit worried since in the scenario where things go wrong I rely only on a pen hole style reset button which I don't fully trust to reset successfully if a custom rom is installed.
Is there a general flashing guide for these devices? How safe is it, as in what are the chances of completely bricking the device?
Are there general or common roms that work well on these devices?
