Navigation bar doesn't work ONLY while flashing ROM - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
Lately I'm observing a strange problem. When I flash a new ROM and it boots up, on the setup phone screens, after entering my google account details, the navigation bar doesn't work. I'm talking about the screens that are shown in the attachment.
So I can not select the apps that I want to restore. I've to go ahead with installing all the apps again. Once the restoring process it done, I do not have any problem with the navigation bar. (I can also use the button in landscape mode). But I'm confused why is this happening while flashing a ROM only
I've tried with different ROMs.
Has anyone faced such an issue?

I noticed a similar thing. The menu for restoring pops up in a full screen mode and it is actually under the navigation bar. It turns out that there is a little spot in that menu where you can just tap through to the "OK" button. (Try tapping above the OK button when you're done with selecting your apps).

Thanks buddy! I'll try this next time. I was starting to think if it's problem with the touch screen of my mako

L/R Menu buttons disappearing , replaced with KB

ok, this is quite irritating and i wondered whether users here experienced the same problem.
basically happens in the home screen( most of the time) or in some other apps (seldom).
Instead of the manilla button on the left and the Menu button on the right, sometimes it will disappear and will be replaced by the keyboard button in the center.
The only way to get my left and right buttons are to soft reset / pressing the "about" in keyboard.
I sometimes experience this for unknown reasons. to work around it I press the windows button and then the home button (hard keys) and then the soft keys return. if in another application then exit and reload app. I'm running o2 stock rom 1.43 (uk).
Yeah I get this too. I think it's something to do with an app I've installed. I either drop down Dutty's Task Manager and pull it back up, which refreshes the screen, or you can press the start tab and then go back to the home screen and it should be fine. I don't think you need a soft reset, at least I don't.

[Q] Software Buttons - Wrong Function

So on my Nexus 4, running CM 10.1 Nightlies, I have a strange issue with the software buttons.
When the "menu" button appears in 'legacy' applications that lack an on screen overflow menu, instead of a single tap on the navigation bar menu button opening the menu, it opens recent apps. A long press however, opens the menu. This has been the case since I flashed Cyanogenmod, and was actually the way I customised the button set up on my previous Nexus S. I presume, somehow, that the preferences have been transferred, and although functional, it is a tad annoying!
I waited to report the issue till the Navigation Bar customisation options had been merged into CM, but I can't fix the issue using the options now available. Also, I'm not accidentally hitting the recent apps button, I don't have huge fingers.
Anyone got any ideas? Much appreciated if you can think of a way of fixing it without wiping the thing and starting again...Or even if you just have an idea how the setting transferred!
No-one got any ideas? Damn...

*SOLVED * [Q]Install Button Non-Responsive

[EDITED/SOLVED]Latest update of Onibabar was causing the INSTALL BUTTON to become unresponsive, when using a file explorer, after selecting to have the battery bar on the left or right side of the screen. Having the bar at the top or bottom of the screen won't effect it, but when the left or right side of screen has the battery bar going down it, the INSTALL BUTTON can no longer be used.
Try with Solid Explorer

Were you updating an app? Press the all tab
have you installed a screen adjusting program lately ?
SOLVED!

I actually saw this suggestion after doing some further research but it turned out to be a different 3rd party app...

And yes, it started happening after an update done to Onibabar. Its an app that places a battery bar on your screen and up until just recently it could only be positioned on either the top or bottom of the screen. After the update, it now allows the bar to be placed going down the left or right side of the screen as well AND its when either one of these options is selected that the INSTALL BUTTON becomes unresponsive!!

[Q] Menu button randomly doesn't work - only at homescreen?

This happens quite infrequently, but when it does it's a real pain. Once in a while I cannot access the main menu when hitting the menu button. The really odd part is that this only happens when I'm on the homescreen. If I can't access the menu, but go into an app, I can access the settings menu or whatever pops up for that particular app when hitting the menu button. Sometimes if I directly open the settings menu through the app drawer I can kickstart the menu button by then using the volume up/down buttons, but not always. In that case my only recourse is to reboot the phone.
I'm on a rooted Canadian Rogers Galaxy S4 running BeanStalk-4.3.1015-20131028-jfltecan ROM and ktoonsez 3.4.68 4.3-AOSP-TMO-11.04.2013 kernel. Although I've had this issue pop up with other ROMs and kernels.
Funnily enough when I went to check the ROM and kernel info, the menu button wasn't working...

OK, so I have finally managed to narrow it down. The culprit is DashClock. If I use the default lockscreen the phone is fine. Enable DashClock and as soon as I unlock the menu button is dead when on the homescreen. Not really sure where to go from here with this. It doesn't seem like I'm running anything weird here so why this is such an isolated case is rather baffling.

After random restart, home button/notification bar and other stuff stopped working

So my phone randomly restarted and after that my home button doesn't work, the button left to it, notification bar and few more things.
I tried to google the solution, and it seems that it has to do something with developer mode. It says: "developer options are not available for this user " , while they were before restart.
Solutions were to install nova launcher, but i can't do that since when i press install, it just hangs there forever.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I have May update.
