Clean Oreo Stock install with bugged settings app (com.android.settings) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey guys, small question here, cant seem to find anything quite like it.
Installed the latest stock rom Oreo yesterday, only added Magisk, and Xposed/Gravitybox.
Straight from the start the Settings app (com.android.settings, SecSettings.apk) looked kinda funky.
Much more "settings" available, also some result in a force-close when clicked.
See attached pictures, that's the complete menu.
Both functions "T roaming" and "Serviceprovider"do result in a forceclose when clicked.
Also the 2nd picture shows 2 "Batterij" (Battery).
The top one continu's as supposed to be to the Battery setting section, but the 2nd one also go's to a somewhat like Battery section but its all in black and blue, as shown below.
Ive got a feeling this could be a result of something went wrong installing the rom, the weird thing is, I reinstalled 4 times now, but it keeps happening...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Too many issues so few roms

3rd thread, about 4th rom flashed
constant issues with builds. have gone from stock to:
cm 6.1.3 -apps crashing, random crash notices i.e "phone book has crashed force close" - "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly"
cm 7 - random reboots, opening browser caused power cycle, wifi issues, lag (thread posted, no solutions at the forefront)
currently on tripnraver pre release. now another issue. no signal what so ever.
original baseband on this xperia x10a is .55. it is suggested to use with bands 52 or 49.
loading either of these basebands. which ive done. doesn't seem to fix the no signal problem. the description states should be backwards compatible even if appropriate bb is not installed on device. yet no luck.
attempting to flash either baseband fails to resolve this problem. currently trying to flash back to stock and try another full reinstall and baseband flash in flashtool.
any ideas would be a great help. having to flash x number of times between roms is getting quite time consuming
thanks everyone.
if you want to stay on the miui rom, you can flash the baseband patch located here and stay on whatever baseband works best for you (I'm on .55 and find it fantastic), then when you load the rom, go to dev tools>bad behaviour>crash the system server.

Otherwise, I would recommend wolfbreaks cm 6.1.3, as it is the most stable. You must have done something wrong during installation as I never had an issue with his roms.
The only issue I have ever had with any rom is MiUi and thats because I used the wrong baseband. You must be doing something wrong for you to be having problems
if you want, try this flash, it's trips miui pre-final with the baseband patch implemented.

worked with my .54 baseband
thanks so much for the links to the baseband patches. i remember coming across a thread that posted it but unfortunately forgot to book mark. so im definitely going to go ahead and try with the patch installed. hopefully all works well
each rom ive flashed has been done properly according to instructions. cache wiped, dalvik, and full reset as per menu options in xrecovery.
one way or another i experienced lag for the most part, and as mentioned some random crashes. never had reset on wolfs rom just error messages at times. trips rom worked excellent, smooth and quick. hopefully with the patch implemented everything will work flawlessly
thanks you guys
*Updated
Flashed over rom with baseband patch. signal working. everything running smooth.
except for when using camera zoom. zoom default displays 0x. as soon as the option is selected it spawns an immediate force close
any patches? or similar outcome for anyone else?
i will outline my steps below so everyones up to speed on how i performed this flash.
- flashed back stock in SEUS
- root with one click (success)
- installed busy box (market)
- installed xrecovery apk
- booted into xrec
1. full factory reset
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik cache
4. wipe battery stats
5. install custom zip from sd card
6. selected trips rom with bb patch implemented
5. reboot
Camera zoom doesn't work in most ROMs yet and the lag you were experiencing was likely just the FW "settling" it can take a little bit and a couple reboots sometimes for the phone to calibrate itself properly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
thanks cmoney. maybe ill try my luck with cm7. give it a few reboots and hope for the best. great rom. im really loving trips iphonesque style
clean smooth and quick. everythings working great. hoping the zoom may get fixed soon enough. only other inquiry i have with regards to this rom is the apps2sd.
this feature is essential to myself personally. and it is not working as ive noticed on this rom. ive read a thread with regards to a fix for the last release. i checked the settings for an enable option in case the feature requires being manually set as active but nothing listed. within sd settings state reads as unavailable. if anyone has an answer as to whether this fix will function with the current pre release. ill be going ahead with completeling the flash and reporting what i find back on this thread.
thanks again everyone
Try Wolfbreaks rom. It's very very stable for me. It has cam and everything upto date.
im going to flash back to wolfbreaks updated 6.1.3 unless anyone can point me in the direction of a fix for trips rom.
the smooth and fluid feel of trips rom was brilliant. i am hopeful someone has directions for an apps2sd fix as i have flashed the build twice and the same issue has occured.

works for me on trips newest....
i just downloaded the new version 1.0
this is ridiculous. without the baseband patch. crash system server. no signal
now apps to sd is saying "apps2sd is not supported on this device"
this is an xperia x10, so obviously there must be something wrong here.
can anyone elaborate on exactly what to do about this because im going to attempt to flash back the rom, flash the bb patch right after, reboot. i assume this will only solve my signal issue. but this apps to sd is getting extremely frustrating and i can not figure out why it is not showing an enabled status.
- Flashed 1.0 with baseband patch - network signal resolved.
- apps to sd is STILL not working. and i really dont know what to do about this. everything else on this rom is perfect. is there something im missing? i came across a patch for apps2sd fix but this was for a previous version. would it be needed here? is there a setting that must be enabled first in order to start apps to sd as a service.
- as mentioned previously within the main menu, under sd card settings. message states "apps2sd is not supported on device" and on previous build would display "apps2sd unavailable". its simply impossible that the phone doesn't support it. as with every other rom the feature has worked. froyo would support it. the question is how do i go about enabling said feature?

I dunno man, it works fine for me, but I copied data from my 0.3.2 xrecovery image, so that might be why. try flashing that apps2sd fix for 0.3.2, should work fine
damn it. i just found that thread. found the links to the fixes. so far ive tried miui32_a2sd_fix.zip. and flashed that over with xrec prior to reboot. which did nothing.
there are two more links so im going to try those two flashes as well and hope that one of them will do the trick. if its working when utilizing .32 patches then ideally the bloody thing would have to work here. thanks for the input though dtox. much appreciated
I don't know what else to suggest man
From the feedback I see in the miui thread, everyone else is reporting it working!
Did you factory wipe, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache before install? then flash the miui 1.0.zip, and flash immediately the baseband patch then reboot into the rom.
Remember not all apps allow apps2sd so use something like android system info, go into the applications tab click on one, click manage and then see if the option "move to sd" is highlighted. Like I said check a few though, not all apps can be moved
i just replied in the dev section lol but yes i have gone ahead and checked the applications menu. specifically downloaded a file i have moved to sd on a previous occasion from the market.
nothing
the "apps to sd" selection is completely greyed out. no matter what application i click on or download. i did a full wipe, full install, and selected the apps2sd fix immediately after rom and bbpatch flash, prior to rebooting. issue still remains.
we'll see i guess. thanks again dtox

Try it again but without the fix...
i did that to it doesnt work i get the same message displayed
i tried with fix and without. another thing to note is that the rom itself says it should work with a different baseband as it has elements of unified. (which it doesn't) i had to flash the bb patch to get signal.
im not sure whats up with this but until i figure it out for a certainty ive flashed back over to wolf breaks rom. hopefully something will surface and i can give trips rom another go.

No idea man, like I said it is fine for everyone else so I'm so no big development will arise that will make it function with your phone....
maybe it has something to do with 10a. i dont know. but the point is it shouldn't even be doing this regardless. hypothetically if its froyo and it has apps2sd built in. it should work. its not the way ive flashed. the phone supports it. so my only conclusion the rom must not be as compatible as stated. and from reading different posts about the prev builds sometimes the patches worked at other times they didnt. and also the fact that the rom is claimed to work without the need for a bbpatch. yet without the patch instaled phone caught no single. i guess certain unexplainable glitches can be bound to happen at times but any how ill give it one last go.
if nothing comes out of that then im giving up on that build because it seems relatively hopeless.
lol I'm using an x10a...
Still man you're the only person reporting this. Don't you find that strange? What baseband are you using anyhow?

[Q] "Dream Manager Service" keeps waking the screen up, how do I disable it?

[Q] "Dream Manager Service" keeps waking the screen up, how do I disable it?
I've looked for other posts on this issue, but none helped me very much. I have a Samsung S5 (international, sim-free), I recently flashed Phoenix Rom, version 6.3, build BOC7. Was on Omega Rom BOB7 previously. I'm also on BOB7 bootloader and modem. Don't know if it's relevant, but I'll mention it anyway. I don't have a PC, so it's difficult for me to use Odin, it's something I have to arrange days in advance. That's why I haven't updated bootloader or modem to BOC7 yet. And before anyone tells me to just go back to Omega Rom, Phoenix Rom is my absolute favourite Rom, it was my daily driver on KitKat, and I just discovered today that it had been updated to Lollipop, so I flashed it immediately.
Using Wakelock Detector immediately after booting, I find Android System, specifically "Dream Manager Service" the only thing which has woken the screen. So that seems to be the culprit, but I don't know how to kill it. It was never an issue before. Basic Daydreams (a Samsung process) is frozen via Titanium Backup. I don't use any other sort of daydream app or service.
It is clearly an issue with Phoenix Rom, but it didn't start until a few hours after I'd flashed it. So in the meantime something has happened, but I don't know what, and before I go through the hassle of reflashing it, I'd like to see how I could disable it. Things I've tried:
- Turning off ambient display - was not on when the problem started, I've tried turning it on and off, but doesn't help. I don't use it or want it, so I don't mind killing it somehow.
- Booting into safe mode. This helped, the problem did not appear when in safe mode. As far as I know though, it just doesn't allow "Dream Manager Service" to run. Not so helpful for finding out how to disable it.
- Revoking permission to "keep screen on" in App Ops for Android System. It seems to just ignore this, which seems to make the whole permission management thing a bit pointless.
When the screen does turn on, it looks different. The wallpaper is not displayed, and it's all in black and white.
Does anyone know why "Dream Manager Service" is doing this? And more importantly, how I can stop it? If you need any more information from me, just ask.
EDIT: Found reason: Ambient Display in Phoenix v6.3 was causing this bug, even after I turned it off. Downgraded back to 6.0, will skip 6.3 and wait for fix, hope it will be an option in the Aroma Installer next time.
Thank you! I found this information useful 2 years later in my Galaxy S7 running Ambasadii Nougat 7.0.

Stock / Google Dialer and rebooting when trying to make a call?

I've seen this mentioned in other places before, other threads and in the r/motox subreddit, about how the open GAPPS package apparently flashes the Google Dialer over the stock one, and it doesn't work with the Pure? Which is what causes the reboots whenever I try to make a call or, presumably, get a call, which until now I chalked up to random reboots in CM13.
So I've seen a bunch of posts about it, but none that explain how to actually fix it? Am I doing something wrong from the start?
Bonus question, I've been having radio problems on almost every AOSP rom I flash, either Wifi doesn't work upon booting and it persists in other ROMS or cell service is out (even though LTE data works fine). Is the radio (which I assume is the same as the "modem") included in each ROM package and is replaced every time you flash a new one, or does it persist in some system directory cross-firmware?
There are so many posts on how to fix I'm not sure how you could miss them. Set as default or uninstall.

Set what as default? Or uninstall what? When I look in the apps list all I see is "phone". Nothing under the name google dialer or anything. It's just confusing, I didn't have this problem on other phones.
Sorry for the double post but I figured instead of making another thread I'll continue asking here, I'm STILL having cell issues, no matter what ROM I flash, stock or AOSP, or any of the radios I can find around the forums, whether it be with the February security update or not, I'm still not getting a connection. In fact once I flashed a new modem, I went from not being able to send texts etc. but able to get LTE data, to getting no connection at all. I'm totally lost, this is the second time it's happened I have no idea what to do. Happens in every single rom.
Last time it was fixed once I flashed from stock (which I had in turn flashed to try to get rid of the problem) to CM13 I think. But it was totally random, I have a feeling it didn't even have anything to do with the ROM itself...

Even from Open GApps own FAQ page:
https://github.com/opengapps/openga...boots-when-i-receive-or-make-a-phone-call-why
Thanks, I honestly dunno why I couldn't find that before. At first I wasn't even aware it was actually called the "google dialer" so I was just googling "phone app reboots after flash/root/etc" and obviously it wasn't turning up many results. But the stock rom rooted debloated thread had the instructions at the bottom, now I know. Whoops. Like I said, just really confusing coming from other phones where everything mostly just worked....
The baseband is still perplexing me though, in the bootloader under baseband it says <not found>. I'm keeping on trying to flash different stock roms to see if I get lucky.
EDIT: so I think flashing the modem at the SAME TIME as a new ROM might be the key? I think I saw something about that on some random obscure post and tried it out and bam, it worked like a charm. Anyway hopefully that works again when I flash to something new

Broken display after trying to install TWRP on D802 with AutoRec?!

Hi guys,
after finally getting a new screen for my D802 (whole other story) I installed it and it worked great. Next step was to update to a newer ROM and Android etc. so I wanted to try out Lineage 14.1.
I got AutoRec to install TWRP, which went fine until it rebooted. The display started showing nothing but white stripes.
Because of anti-spam reasons I can't link to external websites and I can't find any way to upload pictures so I'm cheating with the link and hope that is okay, if not please delete the link and tell me how else I can show you pictures.
PICTURES HERE imgur.com/a/VcLR3
The first two are during the "LG" boot animation, the latter two are when it has loaded up the OS (I assume).
Did I somehow destroy my new display? I've looked around and found similar problems for some obscure ROMs and such, but it was never the whole display but rather just a few lines to the side, nor was it with such a simple, everyday task like AutoRec that seems to be working for a million people.
Is there anything I might be missing?
Assuming the display actually IS broken and I replaced it again, would the current configuration kill the new one as well? Since I don't have even 1% of screen to play with I don't see myself changing anything back to stock or so.
Thank you so much for any help.
Edit: I just found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680948, do you reckon this is my problem? There are no pictures, sadly. And if yes, how on earth can I do anything with no screen?
Just reflash stock kdz

Thank you, I flashed some stock stuff and the display is working again. I would never have thought it was a software issue. Thanks!

Solved: "double tap here to learn how to use always on display"

Hello,
Long story short, I flashed a stock firmware and I had two problems faced me, and thank God I got the solution by luck and decided to share them with anyone who might find them useful.
First problem that my device is 32gb and after flashing it showed storage capacity of 16 GB only.
Solution: just wiped data in recovery and then flashed another stock firmware of another country.
Second problem which gave me aloooooooot of headache is an annoying message on the always on display says
"double tap here to learn how to use always on display"
And it I tapped over every pixel of the screen and wiped data/cache of aod app over and over again and did factory reset and even flashed another stock firmware and still IT DIDN'T GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
Solution which worked for me:
The current version of aod app available for my device is 4.2.xx or something like that.
So I downloaded from internet aod app -still by Samsung- but higher version 5.x.x and installed it but the aod screen stopped working at all.
Then I uninstalled this update and installed the next higher version of my current version 4.3.xx and once I installed it just vanished the message thank God!!
Anyway, I'm an amateur and sure these problems are nothing to you, but I felt I had to share that with you.
Stay safe ?
