Problem: Android refuse to open 'Manage Application'-menu item

Hi all,
I have a problem on my HD2 with CyanogenMod 7 (v 2.6)
When installing it on my phone everything was working perfectly.
but now... 4 months later, when i go to the menu, browse to Applications, and pressing Manage Applications or Active Services, the menu fades away, and returning to the Applications menu, there is no way of going into that menu.
Rebooting doesn't give any solution.
Does anyone recognize this issue, or know how to fix it?

Alright, Do you use CWM?
Do a backup.
Wipe Cache,
Under advanced:
Wipe Dalvik-Cache, Fix permissions.
Try again, booting will take longer, explanation by Cyanogen:
When Android starts up, the DalvikVM looks thru all of your applications (.apk files) and frameworks, and builds a tree of dependencies. It uses this dependency tree to optimize the bytecode for every application and stores it in the Dalvik cache. The applications are then run using the optimized bytecode. This is why when you install a new ROM, sometimes it takes a very long time to boot for the first time. Any time an application (or framework library) changes, it's reoptimized and the cache is updated.

Try if it works, if not, reflash the rom (that's why you did the backup), and clear those caches again, and fix permissions.
Good luck

I do have Rom Manager, when i want to backup it asked me to install CWM.
after installation and running the backup tool it rebooted without any messages.
I try get into the recovery mode, but i am failing doing that.
in the aMAGLDR v1.12 i held the Power button for a couple of seconds.
a menu appears.. there are 10 options, but non of them is related to AD Recovery.
what do i wrong?
BTW.. it's funny to see you as living in the same place

oops.. i think i screwed up some things..
In the rom manager menu, i selected the Fix Permissions item.
After a couple of minutes and applying of permissions i had to reboot the phone.
..and now it is in a reboot-loop.

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.

Uninstalled Apps keep reinstalling after Reboot and updates go missing

Hello ,
I have a rooted LG G2 AT&T with a stock Lollipop rom.
I don't know why but recently my phone began to have this strange behavior.
Whenever I reboot the phone, it restores my previously uninstalled apps and all the updates installed between two reboots go missing.
The other strange thing is that all the NEW apps installed instead are kept.
The phone has become very slow booting and during the boot it shows the popup stating "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app x of n", where the total number varies time to time.
Does anybody have any idea on how to solve it?
Thanks in advance
Update: the boot time and number of apps being optimized varies with the number of uninstalled apps.
I tried:
cleaning dalvik cache
cleaning cache partition
fixing permissions
deleting apps with TB
disabled auto restore from google account

Youtube not loading - possibly uninstalled required app to operate

Hello
(device Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016)
Today i have downloaded Titanium Backup Pro and wanted to freeze knox to get rid of the annoying security notification. I had freeze some associated apps which contained "knox" in the name but did not help.
After then i uninstalled a few apps even system apps which i was sure i dont need (there was not many i have uninstalled, really i was sure i can without problem. one of them was youtube). after filtering out frozen apps i noticed that there is also system webview frozen and smart things which i am sure i did not freeze. i believe that titanium backup was bugged. I tried to defrost but it kept remaining frozen. so unfreeze does not work
I dont know if this caused issues with youtube vanced but before i could watch youtube vanced but now it was loading forever right after opening.
I decided to perform factory reset but not through system settings but booting into twrp recovery and ticking dalvik, data, cache and internal storage. After factory reset i realized that the previously uninstalled (debloated) apps through titanium backup arent restored back. I have read on the forum that by performing factory reset the uninstaled aps should be back. but they are not. why? even installing through adb back it gives "package installed" in the adb terminal but the app is nowhere.
And after clean reset and installing youtube from google play it keeps loading. I see only the bottom menu (Home, exlore, subscriptions,library), at upper part search bar and i can enter settings but the screen is white and is circling/loading forever.
I am afraid that i had accidentally uninstalled some important app through the bugged titanium backup and after factory reset i did not get it back so i cannot browse youtube and even youtube vanced (any of them)
What do they have in common?
(i have tried to reinstall back google packages all at once through newest adb and fastboot toolkit, it gave message "package installed to user 0" but nothing seems to happen on my tablet)
Please recommend me some solutions to solve my issue.
Thank you

Question [Help] Nothing Phone 1 Bricked After Restoring with Titanium Backup

Hello XDA community,
I recently purchased the Nothing Phone 1 running on the latest version of Android 13. After rooting my phone using Magisk, I installed several Magisk modules which worked fine initially.
Here's a list of Magisk modules that I installed in chronological order:
Font Manager
NotoCJK
Fullscreen/Immersive Gesture
G-visual (later closed as I didn't see any effect)
Shamiko
DRM disabler
Revanced Youtube
Webview Manager (replaced with ungoogle chromium)
Nexus Media Before installing the 10th module, I took a full backup of my device using Titanium Backup. However, during the backup process, it got stuck while backing up a file named "Media 13-9427200." After several attempts, I had to cancel the backup for this file to complete the backup process.
Pix3lify (failed to unpack boot image and finally used slim mode)
Safetynet fix
After installing the 11th module, I went to bed and installed several applications before sleeping, such as Kiwi, Shizuku, App Ops, Buzzkill, Automate, Vmos, Brevent, and Greenify.
12.Audio Modification Library
13.Ainur Narsil
After installing the 13th module, I noticed that my phone started behaving abnormally, and it would automatically reboot. Every time I start the phone, the interface freezes after two minutes, and it restarts automatically after several seconds. This scared me, so I uninstalled all the Magisk modules and applications installed after the 11th module and disabled the two audio modules, but it didn't seem to work. So, I turned off the phone for a few hours, and it seemed to work fine after that.
When I tried to log in to my Reddit account, I found that I couldn't use "Continue with Google." When I went to the Google section in Settings, I found that I couldn't open it either.
I searched for solutions online and found that the problem might be due to the Webview. I replaced it with Ungoogle chromium and downloaded the latest version of Android Webview from the Play Store and disabled WebView Manager. But nothing worked. I tried updating the Carrier Services and clearing the Google Service's cache, but it didn't work either. (All Google apps can be opened and used normally.)
After updating the WebView, things got worse. I use a third-party launcher called Smart Launcher, and I have many customized app icons. I found that all customized app icons no longer work, only the native icons can open the app.
I am really frustrated and everything seems out of my control. I decided to restore all the data from the backup I made last night using Titanium Backup (in snap mode). Unfortunately, after the restore was complete and I restarted the phone, I found that my phone was bricked. I can see the boot animation and select the launcher, but once I choose the launcher, the screen goes black, and I cannot do anything. I am also unable to enter Safe Mode as it keeps restarting.
At the same time, I used a software control my phone. I can see NOTHING in sdcard.
What can I do? Is there any way to fix my phone and preserve my data? If not, I am willing to wipe all my data. Also, if I restore my phone to factory settings, can I still use the backup data I made with Titanium Backup?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Additionally, please find attached a screenshot of the only interface I can see on my phone after booting up.

Seems you've broken lot of system apks , clearly Nothing Launcher is first . See if you have a intact bootloader and use fastboot commands to flash the launcher but I'm quite sure there many culprits in system .
So maybe short way is to flash entirely system image shown here in one of all threads about phone unbrick
