Hi Guys,
Can't find anything specific about this, so if it is about somewhere apologies.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 all in full working order. That was until I installed from 4.4.2 to Lollypop 5. Since then the TouchWiz has stopped working. I noticed this when I tried to move some recently installed apps (installed before the OS upgrade) in to folders that were already created. When I hold the app to slide it into the appropriate folder I get
"Unfortunately, TouchWiz Home has stopped".
Has anyone else had the same problem and does anyone know of a working solution as I have not found one yet that works. Without it any new downloads will simply sit on more and more pages instead of in the correct folder for it's function.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in Advance

Make a factory reset and install that apps manually again.
I themed my Axon 7 a few days ago using Substratum and the "DarkStock" theme. A few things don't theme and I always leave a few "Google" things out due to when they update, they'll crash (usually Photo's and Calendar).
I discovered today, that if I have "Android System" themed and try to change my input (keyboard) either in Settings or on the pull-down notifications, my phone will reboot. If I remove "Android System" from being themed, it works fine... But, if I'm running a dark theme I need the Android System themed, otherwise I get dark text on dark background and it's near impossible to read.
Luckily, I don't need to change my keyboard.....and I discovered it by accident, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this or if it's just my phone?

Huh,didn't know zte didn't have their own keyboard.
Hmmm, I think theres a themed Google Keyboard in TBO. Personally I use SwiftKey as I can't stand the Google keyboard and want the numbers row on top. There's a great (free) SwiftKey in TBO as well with hundreds of (free) themed keyboards.

Yeah, they use TouchPal as their "stock" keyboard......But that's not really what I was getting at with my post
I've used SwiftKey for 2 or 3 years now.... I don't plan on changing, but if I wanted to, I can't because my phone will reboot unless I remove the "Android System" part of the theme.

I understand. It's pretty common for some themes to break things. Actually I was talking to one of guys from Substratum and he was saying that it shouldn't work but that Layers should. I told him that it was the other way round and he thinks it's the legacy part of Substratum. Which doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. I'm just glad we can theme some of it. So if you leave the Android system themed and leave the keyboard alone does it still crash? Maybe if you froze or uninstalled the stock keyboard in titanium it would work?

When I applied the theme, I only themed the following:
Android System
Calculator
Google Contacts & Dialer (I did not theme the stock dialer & contacts)
Google App
System UI
Substratum
The rest I left alone, so I never themed the keyboard.
Ok, so as long as you don't try to change the input keyboard it's fine. Sorry for being obtuse.
Always thank those who are helpful...and just ignore those who aren't.
I just tries to apply a Substratum theme and phone got stuck on the Axon boot screen..
What sucked the most was I had just got Project fi working but forgot to make a back up before applying the theme so I had to do that all over again.
I am not able to compile my substratum theme. Did you do anything special like use a different kernel? Or flash anything?

No, I am rooted...You have to be to use Substratum. After some issues with reboots getting stuck on the "Axon" logo, I have not themed anything else (after the last clean flash of B29) other than the PlayStore (made it dark). I'm going to wait until it's fully compatible now.
That just frustrates me. My busy box is updated.... It just won't compile. I am rooted. 2.78. I want to try different themes.... At least Gmail and play store. It really would make the system ui pop.... If the white could be replaced.

I thought that Substratum required "Masquerade" to be built into the ROM for Substratum to work, which this one does not have. Correct?
I think you are correct. But I read others have had it work so I was seeing if I was missing something.

I had that same problem until I disabled write protection, but you said your busy box is up to date I assume you've done that. My busy box not updating was the first clue that it was enable, then trying to modify build.prop and moving apps needed for project to system(I actually ended up just flashing gapps with google dialer, GSC and Project fi).
Once I got mine to compile I themed a lot more things than the Op but still not everything and phone wouldn't boot. I haven't tried again yet with only applying them to a few things but I've heard more recent builds of substratum have been having issues on non Nexus devices so thought that might be what happened with me.
BTW does anyone know if there's a way to remove the theme in recovery like with the old layers themes? I don't recall ever reading anything about it after the switch to substratum and couldn't find anything when phone wouldn't boot so i just flashed an oldish(missing project fi mods) system backup(on my Nexus if something went wrong with layers I'd just reflash vender image-seemed easier than deleting files).

I am pretty sure that you nailed it. I think my write protection is enabled. I have a root Explorer that offers to remount the filesystem so it can be r/w except it fails to complete the process. I had to access my filesystem through twrp file manager to actually change anything system level. But I am rooted, twrp and busybox pro says all good. I think I need to investigate how to get r/w access (like root does or should do).
And yes, there is an overlay file you can access through twrp that will save you if you bootloop. But also, in your home folder, there is an easier way to save yourself from a bootloop. The substratum folder is created when installed and inside the folder is 2 flashable zips. One for legacy and other. In case of emergency.
* I just checked and my busybox is 1.18.4. I can install without errors but it does not actually install. When I reload busybox it only shows old busybox...
++ got it. I had to TWRP, terminal: reboot disemmcwp
--- just finished installing Biohazard substratum and the only issue is the Android setting text is dark and almost unreadable. But everything else looks great! BTW I use tbo SwiftKey for my keyboard so I don't know if the keyboard is still causing problems.

That may be why I get stuck at the boot logo when I apply more than the PlayStore....But It does work, other than messing up on the reboot after the theme is applied and working.
I'm currently running my PlayStore with a dark theme.....Was on Stock/rooted B29, now I'm using DrakenFX custom ROM.
I just tried applying Spectrum theme again but only android system, system UI and a few apps, still got stuck on boot.
I guess I'll try a simpler theme like biohazard and wait for a AOSP ROM before trying Spectrum again.
Biohazard rebooted when I opened Google photos. Then I tried Domination. Everything seemed OK. Then I tried spectrum and everything was great EXCEPT when I used my chase bank app and the location /GPS appeared and caused a reboot. Tried it again and same results.
I will keep trying different variations. I love substratum.

I love it too..... But I don't want to get stuck at the "Axon" boot logo again and have to wipe and start over (again, for the 3rd time). So, I'll wait to theme more until it gets worked out.
I know the keyboard selector crashed it, as well as holding the power button to get the "reboot" menu, but I use a different reboot menu now so that didn't matter.....But sometimes, I'd hold it too long by mistake and it'd reboot on me anyways.
When installing substratum, a folder is created in your home files. Inside the substratum folder is two zip files. Both are a recovery file that removes overlays. I used it to save myself about an hour ago.
After trying lots of good themes, I seem to have found one that is trouble free. Every attempt to cause a reboot fails. All past problems are now uncreatable .... But it might just be that I have not found the problem yet. If I do I will update my story. But..

Hi all. New to the forum. I have been searching the web for the last hour or two and haven't found a solution to my problem. I have used the search feature on this forum trying to find a solution but I don't think there's a thread for it. Im trying to install the showbox app. So I clicked the let unverified apps download button. We're good there. Now after I download it I go to file manager and try to install it, but when I click the install button the phone doesn't do anything. Almost as if it's not registering the touch to the install button on the screen. Tons of people have had these issues. Many other forums and videos say to uninstall or close out your screen filter apps or screen apps. I have no such apps. Version 4.95 and older I have all tried, the same thing happens. . Any Insight on how I can get this app installed please let me know. And if there is a thread send me a link. Thanks.

try with a file manager such as root browser maybe?
@BrewCrew94!!, since you mentioned the Install button that means you made it to the Package Installer so we can rule out the ROM's file manager.
You don't say what ROM you're running. For a time there was a package installer bug that plagued some ROMs. That was eventually fixed though.
If it is an overlay problem there could be something missed that's blocking the install button. Even a ROM's built-in appbar could do that.
You could maybe try Install Button Unlocker from the Play Store. If that helps then there is an overlay issue somewhere. If not, then not sure at this point.

Standard problem, when some kind of overlay app is installed as many of those use the top layer of overlays.
Every button on a deeper layer does not work in this case.
Thanks for the responses! OK so on my axon 7 I haven't a clue about what rom I am running. Nothing custom so I'm assuming I am running the latest version. I recently downloaded MI Favor. I could Check the settings later. I found a solution to the problem by creating a new user on the phone and strictly only downloaded it. It works through the file manager but doesn't work on my main phone user with all my apps. I heard of the overlay issues but I couldn't figure out what the problem app could be.
I mentioned that Install Button Unlocked app, well, I think that publisher has a companion app to identify overlays. There are others like that also. Maybe one of those can help ID what's blocking the installs.

I have updated the new showbox
Hello!
I installed the file and updated the free version of showbox v5.26!
I'm running Lineage 17.1 Nightly without GAAPs. And the AOSP camera is terrible. Every photo comes out blurry.
I tried installing Gcam V.2.2.1 from Arnova8G2 and OOS camera apks from mirror apk but nothing works. After install I get the same problem, "Camera Keeps Stopping".
Does anyone know of a work around for this. I can't get any camera apk working, (other than the stock pre-installed AOSP camera)
You can't just use the OOS Camera. You need a bunch of other libraries and such to make the OOS camera work.
Once I find a GCam that everything works on I tend to just stick with it. On 17.1 I'm using, 7.2_GCam_Urnyx05-v2.1.apk.
Look here, download GCam from here. (I would start by trying 2.1 since it works for me.)
Other versions are here if you want to try them.
Next to the 2.1 download click the configs link, scroll down to OnePlus 6/6T. These are XML files, I would download the first one natural / noiseless. You can try others later if you want. In internal storage of your device create a folder called GCam, inside that folder create one called Configs7. Place that XML that you just downloaded (oneplus6t-more-naturally-and-noiselessly-v2.xml) inside Configs7.
Now when you open the camera double tap the black area near the button that takes a picture, and select that XML.

Thank you so much! I did followed everything you said, but I still have the same problem. The app force closes before I get the chance to add the config. I tried enabling all of the permissions from "app info" along with allowing it to "modify system settings". But it still force closes

Just out of curiosity, Does installing WebView fix it? ? (You can uninstall it if it doesn't).
Im trying to think of what might be different since this works for me. Some apps require webview and will crash immediately if you dont have it. The LOS browser should work for this, but I've found for many apps it doesn't. There is a a library that is required for WebView on some ROMs (like Omni), but Ive never needed it on LOS.

Sorry for the late reply. I installed webview, but that didn't change anything.
It's also worth noting that after flashing Lineage, I lost my TWRP recovery. I then flashed Magisk through Lineage's supplied recovery.
I wish there was a simple solution for this. I came from OmniRom and Omni had the stock OOS camera and it was great! But without GAAPS installed, Omni is way too glitchy for my liking. That's the only reason why I'm using Lineage, to avoid random app force closures....guess I didn't avoid it entirely with the camera issue

Wait.... Several things in there. So did you use the MicroG version of Omni then? As Omni can use Gapps if you use the regular build of Omni? Next did you just flash LOS straight over Omni? This maybe giving you issues. Also that GCam folder must be in place otherwise it won't work, you did that step right? As for recovery, yes, you have to flash TWRP after LOS to keep TWRP.
I have a Lineage Install Guide here. The second post has the cliff notes version if you want. However the long version does have some extra stuff in it, like passing safety net and such.

Yes, I tried the micro-g version on Omni...twice. I haven't tested the standard version yet. When I flashed Omni, however, I didn't flash it over OOS. It was a clean flash.
I did not flash Lineage over anything either.
Yes I have that GCam folder in my internal storage, as instructed.
Appreciate the info, I'll check out your install guide!
Edit: Worth mentioning that when I used Omni. Both times, there was a broken google search bar at the top of the app home screen page. Couldn't get rid of widget, use it, nor move it. It was stuck in place, and no longer said "Google". It was an entirely blank search bar.
Hi. I recently change my phone ROM to a custom one, after one year using the phone just as it came.
I installed Pixel Experience+, which its great, but there's two stock apps that I miss: Mi Screen Recorder and Mi security app.
Stock screen record was awesome: Just one touch on status bar to start recording, a floating button to start/stop and it let you record system audio and mic audio, choose 1080/720, 30/60 fps, etc. The Pixel experience+ one its just start/stop and nothing else, I don't even know if it's HD.
Security app was great too: Good trash cleaner, and a App Lock option by pin/fingerprint that it works great.
Is there a way to install those apps in Pixel Experience rom ? I tried to install apkmirror apks but it didn't work. Maybe it's something that it needs to be flashed. Or something that it just can't be done, that's why im asking.
Thanks!
ps: I just intalled the ROM, I didn't root the phone.
Some of them.
Short answer is NO at the moment there isnt any zip file that you flash it and boom Mi apps installed. (like the gapps) What you can do is to track & find which Mi-apps you want to install (manually).
What i had done in the past was to find the Mi Home launcher apk and the gallery i thing if you search you may find more apks but keep in mind that you can replace every single one app, just search for an alternative.

Thanks for the answer. That's bad new, I really liked those apps.
Yeah, I tried to download Screen Recorder and Mi Security apks from akpmirror and install it, but I couldn't.
I guess I'll have to try a third part app lock and screen recorder. Any suggestion?
uum... try to avoid 3rd party app lock (your custom rom may include that option already) as for screen recorder nop i dont have any suggestion. :|

Im going to share with you what i found after some research on the web even tho i havent test anything yet from the sources that im going to link below. I hope it helps
