Lollipop App Drawer Screen Issue

I just flashed the Lollipop factory image. Initially my app drawer looked like the "Guest.png" screenshot below. Somehow along the way as I was exploring lollipop, the app drawer changed to the "Me.png" screenshot below. Not sure what caused it but I would like to get the app drawer the way it looked when I first flashed lollipop as shown in "Guest.png" below; which is to say the screen with more apps on a single screen and the black background. I've rooted and flashed TWRP since flashing Lollipop. As an FYI, the "Guest.png" is from the guest account on my phone and the "Me.png" is from my account.

Found answer on another thread. Just had to change the launcher.

Settings App Manager Crashing Regardless of Root?

TLDR: App Manager crashes Settings on selection in all scenarios tried, both rooted and unrooted. Solutions or explanations?
So it's basically as described there. App Manager is crashing on a new Moto G4 XT1625 no matter what I do. I am at a loss. It crashes while rooted with Magisk, crashes when Magisk is uninstalled, crashes when I do a fresh flash of the Motorola stock ROM. I've even rooted and gone into Titanium Backup and ensured nothing is frozen, and it crashes.
I can long press apps on the drawer to reach individual app settings, but I cannot get into the App Manager itself. I've tried clearing the cache via this entry into the settings app info, and I've cleared the cache via TWRP. Neither has seemed to affect the crash either.
The only common denominator I can think of between all attempts is that the bootloader is obviously unlocked, but I can't connect that to the crash in my head.
At a loss here - any ideas? What am I missing, or what else might I try? Thanks for any education.

got this crash as well on my xt1622, TWRP, marshmallow, rooted
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON that cause this is because I deleted some unused (india) apps after rooting. Then the app manager messed up.
I just flashed the stock Nougat yesterday (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/xt1622-nougat-root-questions-t3701145) - clean, no root, no TWRP, no modifications. Then, the app manager worked as expected. I doubt this will help as you stated that you already tried to flash the stock rom. You might have some other problem there.

Indeed I have, which makes it all the more confusing as to what could remain unchanged and still affect it. Although, it is something that you encountered it under the same general environment (twrp, marshmellow, rooted). I disabled a few apps when I first rooted, and assumed that was the cause as you saw, but no idea why the flashing did not fix it...

Can't create new backup with OnePlus Switch app

I noticed recently that I can't create a new backup using the OnePlus Switch app. When I go into Backup & Restore and tap New Backup, it'll briefly show "Loading" then kick me back to the previous screen. I think this started happening after I updated OOS to 9.0.12, because it worked before that. I don't use it often. Pretty much only to backup my SMS before doing an OOS update. When I went to install the 9.0.13 update, that's when I found Switch wouldn't work.
I've tired clearing the app cache & storage. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app. I've tried a few previous versions of the app. I've allowed all the permissions it asks for. Nothing has worked.
Anyone else come across this? Any ideas on how to get it to work?

Never used it before, I always backup via TWRP.
Are you rooted? If so try re-flashing the 9.0.13 via TWRP and see if that helps.

Launcher not working.....bad phone day!

I bricked my phone last night, fixed it. Screwing around with TWRP I bricked it again today, fixed it. In my frustration over yapp store and Auraro store not working with anonymous log in I installed aptoide store and was doing some updates. One of them was the update for Oneplus Launcher. I did not realize Joe Anybody could upload files so I really have no idea what I installed( it did have the green ok to install check makr though). Since then the launcher has not worked.
Used Migrate to do a dirty restore ( not the smartest idea), thinking it would restore my working launcher and layout.
So far I have installed the nova launcher with xXxNoLimits and been able to navigate. I have tried uninstalling the launcher via Titanium, rebooting, and reinstalling the Android 9 version, didn't work. I did a dirty flash of oos 9.0.17 that I downloaded from Oneplus and now I have no launcher at all so I flashed xXx again and have the Nova Launcher.
My profile for xXx leaves the OP launcher installed and adds Nova.
I have tried everything I can think of.
Thought about taking the plunge and installing Android 10 but, from what I am reading, it is buggy, *****y, and not playing well with TWRP and Magisk.
I am still pretty new to this fun so be gentle!
Thank you in advance.

Google Apps Cant be disabled

Hello..
I have a One Plus 6T since 1 year and this is the first problem that I have..
I updated the phone a few weeks ago with the last update 9.0.17
Yesterday I did a Wipe data+cache to restore the phone like new..
But I have one problem.. I always disable the apps of google like Duo, Chrome, Youtube and Photos.. But once they are disabled in a few hours automatically they came enabled again.. Why!!???
I know that using adb I can delete those apps but I prefer to use the disable option of the system.. In the last versions of the OxygenOs this was working fine but not now and I know that there is more people with that problem. Anybody knows why,??
Many thanks for the help

I freeze some apps with sd maid as I noticed the same or similar issue

I believe is has to do with the OOS update. I had that problem as well before. I am rooted so I used Titanium to freeze the apps. When things update it appears the app is functional and does not reinstall it.
If you are rooted, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend the xXxNoLimits Magisk module. It allows you to debloat both Google and Oneplus apps.

Many thanks for the answers.. I just want to use the tools that offer the system.. I think that is the last update because in the old ones this works like a charm.
I have not rooted yet the phone because I think that OxygenOS works fine without root maybe in the future I will start with magisk modules and custom roms but for now I'm going to wait.
I'll keep waiting for new OS Updates and maybe is solved. Many thanks for the help.
