Strange things (random reboots and others) on note 4 - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I have a problem as I post a thread. I have recently owned a note 4. Before changing phone, I decided to configure all the note 4 settings and apps, root, install twrp and SD fix. All worked fine. So i did a nandroid backup with the app "online nandroid backup". After that, I transfered my sim from my xiaomi Redmi 1 to the note 4, and I continued doing other things :
- 15th july: I put the sim to the note 4.
- 16th july: I messed up my phone because i accidentaly deleted the google framework odex file. So i wanted to restore the nandroid backup done by the app "online nandroid backup" when I finished configuring my note 4 but it failed. So I re flashed stock rom, re rooted and restored backup from titanium backup.
- 17th july: I installed an apk of nova launcher and configured it. Trust me, it is not the prime version I pay the developer me! I installed the apk from internet instead of the app itself from the play store because I never download from play store.
- 18th july: I found that because I also restored the system data with titanium backup, the private mode didn't work, so I factory reset my phone with twrp and I restored only user app and data backup. I did a nandroid backup after that.
- 19th july: I messed up (again) with tasker and so I hadn't notification sound. I decided to re flash the stock rom but didn't work. After that, I left my home without my phone for 2h and when I came back, I sSAW THE FIRST RANDOM REBOOT.
- 20th july: To solve the sound problem, I decided to restore the nandroid backup. It works: the sound came back! But I saw again a random reboot.
The random reboots appear only two or three times per week: indeed, I remembered the other random reboots appeared on the 25th of July and on the 27th July.
The random reboots are special I think because they appear at any time: it appeared when I use the phone or when I don't use it. Moreover we can see the Samsung logo at the minimum brightness and it is infinite: I need to remove the battery to make it restart.
To solve the problem, I first thought that it was a problem from restoring any backup from titanium backup. So I factory reseted the phone using twrp to keep root and internal storage. Then I reinstalled the apps with the official Google backup and restore tool. But as I can see, the random reboots are still here because on the 27th July, as I said, a random reboot appeared.
- 28th July (so today): I removed nova launcher, then shutdown my phone and pull out the battery. When I reinsert it, the phone takes a long time to switch on. Finally, it said system is not responding and reboot and the message re appeared, and reboot... I must remove the battery and reinsert it to restart the phone correctly: the message doesn't appeared. I tried removing the battery one more time to see if the message apprear when I pull out the battery but it didn't appear. However, there are no reboot since, but I think it is because it appeared tomorrow (27th july), and I have to wait to see if the reboots are still here, but I think yes because of this strange message. Or it may be a pure coincidence?
Please help me with all this strange events! I said all I know!

Finally I solved it by deleting nova launcher. And the pop up is only a simple coincidence!

soooo I'm restoring my latest nandroid backup and all it's displaying is ....

My most recent cyanogen mod kept freezing and rebooting, so I restored my most recent Nandroid backup. But it keeps displaying the ............ . It's been doing that for the past 10 or 15 minutes. A lot longer then all the other times I restored a backup. Should I stop it and try it again?
Edit***
Anyways, I got impatient and yanked the battery out. Put the battery back in and powered her up. It works... i think. i got all my apps and everything, and the version 4.2.5 of cyanogen is running. one of the processes crashed and it was just a black screen, but i could still display the notification dropdown menu. I rebooted, and then it asked me to enter in all my google information again. opening up cm updater crashes, and it appears that many other apps crash upon load. I think I can pull outta here by just doing a wipe.
Thanks
did you wipe it before you did your nandroid restore?

[Q] Trouble after Cyanogen 7 with the TB Restore

I just did my first ROM install on my Moto Defy, and it all went fine, til i had to restore my apps from the Titanium Backup, when i did it, i chose the "restore all your backup apps and System data" or some like that, and after i finished and rebooted the phone, a thread started chowing up, ".com.phone.android.phone." app just stopped working, and it asked me to force close it, and it just kept poping and poping, all the time, so i guess i restored some system config, from the TB that just wasnt working with the CM, so please i would like someone to tell me witch system configs i should not restore when using the TB, i just flashed the CM again, but it took me a loooong time to restore my apps from the TB so i wouldnt like to do it again, PLIIIIIZ HELP!!!!

[Q] S note Crashing loop PLEASE HELP A NOOB

HI Everyone, I am having this issue with my Note 3.
About six months ago I flashed the Lollipop software.
I backed up my S note files and could not recover them till I worked out this week they were in a zip file on my Google Drive.
Today I tried to get them back by downloading the Titanium file and restoring once I got Titanium working again.
I had to change my SuperSU too allow grant always and block Knox to allow Titanium to have root access.
Anyway, I tried restoring the file and it sat for about half an hour just saying it was restoring.
Then the phone shut off and restarted again.
Now I am constantly getting the Sorry S Note has crashed notification at 1 second intervals. I can see the phone is loading software in the background, but I cannot turn the notification off long enough to press anything else. It wont stop looping.
I have tried booting into recovery and wiping the cache and partition and factory reset. When the phone rebooted, it showed me the first setup page you see when you first start your phone for the first time, so I know the factory reset worked, but immediately the error started popping up again.
I tried booting into safe mode, and it still flashed up.
When you press ok, the notification immediately comes back again, so you have no time to do anything else.
You cannot go into settings, or press any other buttons, another notification shows up right away.
I am currently downloading a new firmware because I think this will be the only solution, has anyone else had this issue, if so how did you fix it, or will the new firmware be the only way?
Can you add screenshots pls?
*COUNCIL: S-Note use 2 folders that have to be in your internal memory: S Note Export (empty) and SnoteData (where you put your .spd files).

Nougat roms instantly auto-deleting texts in Messaging following TWRP restore

I currently have 2 backups in TWRP, the first from a couple weeks ago of a CM14.1 installation, and the 2nd I just made today prior to updating my current AICP nightly build.
A while ago I restored the CM backup and remembered I hadn't backed up my texts from that period, so I download SMS Backup & Restore and go into Messaging just to check that the correct messages were there. Sure enough they were, and at a glance I could tell the contents of the first few conversations were definitely from a couple weeks ago when I had them, but I could only see for a split second because immediately upon opening the messaging app, all conversations flew up the screen and disappeared over the span of about a second as if they were being deleted spontaneously before displaying the "Once you start a new conversation, you'll see it listed here" empty inbox background.
I didn't know why but I didn't care at the time so I left it for another day. Well that day is today, as right after I made my backup before updating the AICP nightly I saw the old one and thought hey I'll try grabbing those old texts again. Same thing happened so I restored back to today's backup and rebooted, went into messaging, and the same exact thing happened, albeit I was able to see that the conversations were indeed from recently, up to earlier today, before they all disappeared.
WTF? I installed a couple other 3rd party messaging apps just to see if the SMS content was still in the database and the stock app was just messing up, but they showed empty inboxes as well. Weird thing is if I restore from the nandroid backup again, I'll reboot and sure as sh*t, there the messages are once again, for a sweet split second before whoosh, they're gone! Does anyone know why it does that? Is this a nougat thing or has anyone experienced this on earlier android versions as well? I don't care about the backup, I just want to archive my old messages, but they nuke themselves as soon as I boot into a restore.
Oh if it helps, it seems upon restoring, the adopted SD card storage is wiped as well, so apps that were previously on the SD card show a dead white link on my home screen. The portable storage section of the card is just fine though (I did the fastboot trick where you split the adopted storage 50/50 between internal and portable storage)
I've noticed the same thing. It is not just you. SMS database doesn't survive TWRP restores on N roms.
I've got another phone that would give endless "Phone has stopped" FC messages upon a TWRP restore when it was first brought up to 7.1. It needed a fix in the roms to get TWRP backups to work right with it. Just a wild guess, but could be something similar at work here.
