[Q] Setting crashes everytime when clicking "Secutiry"

Hi fellas
I am using 4.2.2 from OTA, stock everything rooted.
When I tried to go to Setting->Security, Setting app always crashes. This happens everytime when I go go Setting and click "Security". It says "Unfortunately, Setting has stopped."
I tried to do a factory reset, but the problem is still there with a fresh-reset system. I am frustrated with this, and tried to google but with no results. It seems nobody else has this problem. Does anyone here have this problem? Or any possible solution?
Thanks!

[Q] After enabling some xposed modules, my LG G2 (AT&T) is stuck in a error loop.

Whenever I boot it up it says "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.". It does allow me to hit ok, however when I hit ok I have about 1 second before it pops up again. Due to the passcode lock on my phone I am unable to get past the lockscreen as it wipes the input box everytime the popup box pops up. Despite the System UI apparently failing everything does seem to be functional behind the pop up. In the 1 second periods between pop ups I am able to interact with it. The status bar and the buttons on the bottom are not visible, however the rest of the lockscreen (including widgets) is.
The phone is rooted, however I had not gotten around to installing a custom bootloader yet. Debugging is enabled, however the device is listed as "offline" according to "adb devices". Due to this I am unable to install TWRP so as to flash the zip to disable xposed.
All of the above is still true in safe mode, the exact same thing happens.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I would prefer to keep the data on it, however if nothing else a factory reset would be fine.
Update: Solution was to do this. The offending xposed module was xhalofloatingwindow. I have managed to reproduce the error multiple times, so it would appear that xhalofloatingwindow is incompatible with the LG G2 (AT&T) on 4.2.2.
It is only the latest version that is incompatible. Uninstall Beta 2.16 and install 2.14 then it will work. Came across your post as I was searching in tapatalk for the official thread to report this in. Hope it helps.

[Q] Help with a problem running AllianceROM

I installed alliance rom and i cant use the fingerprint security option. It says an error has occured with the fingerprint sensor. Restart if problem repeeitly occurs. Any fixes?
Isn't there some kind of add on package for that ROM that includes the fingerprint scanner??
Is there? Can somebody provide me a link please
Wouldn't it be in the OP of the rom thread?
If you flash the ROM with the included ROM Customizer app it'll give you the option to install Samsung apps as well as several other apps. Check that you have that option enabled. You may need to flash again.

Partially corrupted software, can't access developer options.. What to do?

Hello,
I am on stock 6.0.1 locked bootloader. Yesterday suddenly my software got partially corrupted. It boots fine but the status bar and on screen controls like menu button are not working. Also, clicking on build number isn't doing anything. An ota was available and I updated it but still its in the same state. Fast boot mode is accessible. I am using xt1562. Is there any way by which I can flash a full stock/custom firmware with/without rooting/unlocking my phone? I tried to download the stock recovery from github/filefactory but it keeps on getting canceled after 200mb or so. Can someone please guide me or provide me a resumeable link to 107.70 firmware? TIA
Regards

You should be albe to flash original firmware with locked bootloader, the best option is to flash exactly the same one you've currently got on your phone.
However, I'd start from installing Activity Launcher (download from playstore) and launching com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupWizardTestActivity. It looks like yor phone is in setup mode for some reason, just like it is when you boot it for the very first time. This activity will take you through the Setup Wizard, hopefully something "clicks" in your system when you finish it and your home button functions, etc. will be restored. If this doesn't work I'd try factory reset before flashing firmware.

I have 107-70-1 but cant seem to be able to find it? The other one is not a resumeable link and downloads break in between. I will try the activity launcher and let you know. I already tried factory reset from setting and facroty mode from fastbook but it did not work.
Edit: The activity Launcher thing worked! Thanks!

First of all when you have the opportunity quickly go to the developer mode and check OEM unlock. Then you use fastboot to flash stuff and get things correct
there is also usb debbuging app on playstore to access from there..

AFAIK you can't do it in setup mode, even with an app, because ADB access is blocked on system settings level.
ooooh yes sorry.mine was booting normally..

You were right, it was in setup mode. I was unable to install apps over the Google Play Store so I downloaded the apk of Activity Launcher, enabled "unknown sources" and installed it. I opened the activity you wrote but I got an error, so I opened the com.google.android.setupwizard.SetupExit (not sure if it was the exact name) and it was all normal again.

Nice, seems like it's even easier way. Thanks for the feedback and a good tip.

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?
