Many apps stopped working after running "Fix Permissions" from TWRP??? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I first installed root for S5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
Then I decided to install TWRP from here via Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697762
And after that I executed "Fix Permissions" in TWRP
and after that when system reboots it shows "Android Upgrading" message for a brief moment, and ten few dozens alerts show up saying "APP_NAME stopped working".
Then I re-installed the same root via Odin, but then when the phone boots, it shows the message "Android upgrading <br> Opening apps". This message is shown for about a minute or two and then again, few dozens alerts show up saying "APP_NAME stopped working".
I think this "Fix permissions" messed up the phone, so I'm wondering is there a way to fix this without factory reset or installing new ROM???
Regards

Why did you wanted to fix them? Wre they broken? Well, now they are.

[Q] Superuser problem

I have a problem with superuser that I can't understand.
So I bought this new Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and I rooted it by flashing my phone with Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5(1116) with Odin, and then installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip through the recovery window.
To be honest the process didn't go ideally smooth. Since I misunderstood how to proceed with the process, I had to reinstall Clockworkmod a few times.
After finishing from that, I started trying to use software that needs root access (like LuckyPatcher), and lucky patcher was hanging at the beginning black screen and not proceeding. And I tried many other programs, and they always don't proceed and stop.
So eventually I went to the Application Manager and select Superuser, and chose to "Uninstall updates", and only then, all those Superuser prompt messages started popping up asking me to grant LuckyPatcher and all other software that tried to access root... and since I chose to Uninstall updates, the phone restarted.
Of course, after the phone restarts, we're back at square 1, but the programs, to whom I granted root access get root access for some time...
I tried updating Superuser from the market, but when the program starts, it says "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated.", and I have a option called "Recovery Install", when I choose it, the phone keeps showing a message saying "Installing Superuser..." and it never finishes. Yesterday I left it and went to sleep, and eventually it gave an error message. I would say that Superuser update itself requires root access which it couldn't get... but that's as far as I know. I tried the "Uninstall updates" trick but it never worked.
Also I have to say I tried to install Superuser versions 1.51, 1.60, 1.65, 1.80 through recovery with a zip file, and it didn't fix it. And I installed CrashROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535355
and it didn't help either.
What do you think? How can I repair that and have normal Superuser permission asked normally? Please advise.
Thank you.
Any help, please?
Problem solved
The solution was to specifically install SuperSU from the market and not superuser. That fixed it.

Unfortunately mtp application has stopped s5 on boot no UI.

After i tried
http://download.chainfire.eu/397/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip
on lollipop on vodafone uk, i got this error message on boot, i press ok and after reboot i got no root
Then i install superuser through twrp that i previously had and keep getting this error message on boot.
The thing is i cant get past it, its covering the whole screen no operating system ui just that in a white box and a press ok, which doesnt work until after 2 minutes.
EDIT: its just constantly saying programs has stopped responding in a loop and cant get into android system. How do i fix this, i tried fixing permission in recovery but that didnt work.
So what i can do without losing all my work on my phone.
I hope you made a backup before flashing root files
Boot into recovery, clear CACHES, reboot - see how you get on with that
If you flashed CF Auto Root, there was no need to flash SuperSU, as it comes part of CF Auto root, someone else just did that and ended up in a boot loop, had to wipe the phone and flash a stock ROM
Thats the thing i didnt, i watched a video saying it wouldnt delete your files rooting and decided not to backup.
I was stuck on samsung logo half the time and other times stick with "unfortunately MTP application has stopped." in a big white box blocking me getting into android.
I tried fix permission, clear cache and delvin cache and nothing worked.
I just system wiped and got in but lost all my work.
Fortunately Google backed up most of my photos and videos and contacts but no sms messages.
Now i gotta get all my apps back on my device and get it back to how it was and hopefully i did not mess any important texts.
Note to self: Always backup.
EDIT: i just had gaaps not working and giving server error, after trying out ways to fix that i tried all the normal stop app and clear cache, and then did fix permission in twrp, and after doing "also fix SELinux contexts" it messed me over and got me back to that white box.
so another note to self not to use "Fix SELinux contexts" as that messed up my system after getting 30 apps back installed.

GT-i19500 worked after being rooted, but stopped after the second or third restart.

Good evening xda-forumers, thank you in advance for any help.
I apologize if this question has been made 1000 times before, but I am kind of new at this. As you can see from the title, I am having problems with my cellphone after rooting it. To be more precise, it started working badly after I tried to to access recovery mode (to make a nandroid backup) and clicked "reboot system now". Now, every time I turn it on, it says "[App name] has stopped" for every app I had previously installed on the phone. Trying to turn off the device gives me the usual "Turn off/airplane mode/reset" window that I normally get.
My phone is an Samsung Galaxy i9500 with Kitkat (I think it was 4.4.2). The programs I managed to install before this were "Titanium Backup Pro" and "BusyBox". Both seemed to work fine.
Did I mess my phone going to recovery mode, or did something else happened?
Yours faithfully,
~BeardedGuy
Rooting shouldn't affect the installed apps. I have rooted several s3 and s4 phones without a problem.
I recommend backing up the data, flashing back to stock ROM, install TWRP, flash supersu from TWRP, restore apps and data.

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?

LineageOS - Updater has stopped

Was prompted with a LineageOS 15.1 update this morning, so proceeded to download that. I then clicked "Install" when done and I am told that I am about to upgrade and the phone will reboot after.
As soon as I click "OK" to proceed, updater closes and "Updater has stopped" is displayed.
Restarted the phone and now it doesnt say install but instead says "DELETE" for the update, clicked that, refresh and now no updates found.
Not sure what just happened
