After reflashing Magisk everything stops working. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While I was trying to fix SafetyNet API error.
I tried reflashing the rom and I tried completely reinstalling it, But then when I pass the lock screen various things stops working:
-TouchWiz stopped
-Media Storage stopped
-Calendar stops working
-S Pen apps stop working
I can't access the homescreen, It's all black. However, I can screenshot and use the notification tap to go into apps and then go into apps by holding the home button. However various app keep stop working.
Thankfully, I have a nandroid backup. So I use it to go back to my previous state.
I can't fix the thing. Even cleaning cache on the apps. So I'm stuck. The only thing I can do is restore via Nandroid backup and try to figure it out what's the problem. Help!

[Q] Upgraded 4.3. Home button and screen unlock stopped working

My nexus 7 is unlocked/rooted and I applied the 4.3 update (the method that does not wipe your system). Now, my home button stopped working, it clicks and makes a noise but doesn't do anything. It happens with all of the apps and system stuff. Also, when I turn the device on, the sliding unlock screen is gone. I tried to disable it and re-enable it to no avail. I tried booting into recovery and wiping data/dalvik with no luck. I tried searching the forums and the googles but couldn't find anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions that would save me from wiping the system? Thanks

In my case, home button does work after 4.3 update, but the facelock does not work, but other kinds of screen locks does work.
Guys i am having the same problem. Is there ANY way we could solve this without wiping our devices?
It would be A LOT of hassle for me if i wipe.
I'd be grateful for any assistance
Thanks
EDIT: NVM, i went through the hassle and WIPED the device. Its working fine now.
I tried everything, but wound up having to do a flash-all. Works fine now.

Issues After Root - Rotation and Encryption

Howdy,
I got a new Note 4 from Bell Mobility about a month ago...
I updated the software, rooted it and installed the Wanam modified Xposed framework.
I have lost the automatic rotation, except for the built in camera software. Nothing else will auto-rotate. Checked the gyroscope and checked a few 'leveler' applications - all tests pass. Oddly I noticed the camera software still auto-rotates, no idea why it is special.
I tried the Wanam Xposed module to 'Enable all rotation angles' it has made no difference. With screen rotation software, currently have "Rotation - Orientation Manager by Pranav Pandey" installed. Auto-Rotate On and Forced Auto-Rotate neither option will rotate the screen when I turn my phone. If I choose Forced Landscape, it will go into Landscape mode. The only way to return to Portrait though is to use one of the Force Portrait options though.
My other issue is with turning on Device Encryption... Using SuperSU Pro for su..
If I just go through the prompts without changing anything, it reboots but doesn't encrypt.
First I tried installing as a system app so I could use the Disable function in the Android Application Manager, as I did with my Note 2, SuperSU tells me "Not (currently) available in system-less root mode".
If I turn off "Enable Superuser" in SuperSU, encryption enables properly, but I am unable to turn the "Enable Superuser" again, it says it has to update, but the fails. Suggests a reboot and try again. Sadly, this did not help.
I had success with one of the exploit root methods, KingRoot. While this worked when my phone was encrypted, it wasn't stable and kept popping up stuff. I tried to replace it with SuperSU, there are a few guides written to do just that, but they all indicate that it is very hard to get rid of, regardless, none of the guides worked for me. I ended up resetting the phone and starting over...
I tried the CLI command to start the device encryption from a # prompt..
vdc cryptfs enablecrypto inplace password 1234567890abcdef
The phone rebooted a couple times, but took a very long time (hour plus) to come back to the Android Lock-Screen.. But still a non-encrypted device. If I intrupted the process because I thought it had crashed, it started up and immediately told me something when wrong with the encryption and I need to use Recovery to reset the device..
As for root methods, I was using the CF-Auto-Root at first, trying to look for solutions to both issues, I tried a few ways of getting SuperSU installed.. The last time I reset I tried the "SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit" method. 'Grasping at straws' to get SuperSU installed into /system so can use the Applicaiton Manager to disable and enable it...
My mobile's specifics, if it matters..
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Model number - SM-N910W8
Android Version 5.1.1
Baseband version - N910W8VLU1COK3
Build number - LMY47X.N910W8VLU1COK3
Currently have the Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0 recovery software installed.
I am looking for suggestions for both issues, but really want to avoid resetting the phone if I can at all possible... Yes, I have Titanium Backup Pro installed, but have never actually gotten a restore to properly restore all my applications and data... I rely on it now just for the Uninstall and Freeze features.
For an update,
I also noticed that rotation works on the Lock Screen and in the camera applicaiton.
If I rotate my screen on the Lock Screen, the red handset picture and camera icons rotate.
If I rotate in the camera application, nothing changes position, but all the icons rotate as well.
I'm still completely stuck though, open to suggestions...
For rotation, it is likely caused because you removed the com.thingy.facebook system app. I tried removing it because I thought is was bloatware but read somewhere that messing around with it cause the auto rotate and pedometer to fail. I fixed it by reflashing the rom without data wipe then never removed it again. Page Manager is safe to remove though.

Thank you,
I had it frozen for a while, completely uninstalled it, trying to see if lack of space was why I couldnt' get SuperSu to become a System App..
I will try to put the facebook app back to see if that helps. Hoping I don't need to do a ROM reset, but if that is what it takes.

I tried installing FaceBook from the PlayStore, no change.. So I uninstalled it again.
Took a backup in Titanium Backup and in TWRP.
From the stock image, I extracted system.img.ext4 and used SkipSoft's application to make just this file Odin flashable..
Flashed it.. When I got back to Android, my phone hadn't reset (what I was going for ), rotation is working, SuperSU still giving root access
I went back into Titanium Backup, the freshly installed apps were listed on top, because there was no backup of them.
Froze each, one at a time and checked the rotation after each.. Froze all the apps with no backups, and rotation stayed working, which I thought was odd for what fixed it.
So.. The Facebook applications are all frozen, as they were before I erased them the first time, and rotation still works. Hurray..
Now for the device encryption, I will keep messing with it.. Trying FlashFire to mount System as RW and to write the newest version of SuperSU, hopefully it will install to System this time.
Thank you again.

This is amazing, can you please post the odin flashable file? I am having this exact problem right now because I removed it in TB. Is it just the facebook file that are flashed? Thanks so much in advance, you're saving my life here

UI unresponsive after launcher has stopped working

I am having an issue with my Nexus 10. Some time after booting I get the message that the launcher is not responding and if I want to wait or kill the process. Whatever I do, the UI then completely freezes up and no longer responds to any touch input. I can turn the screen on and off, but the everything on the screen is just frozen, even the time.
I have TWRP installed and rooted the device, but it has a stock rom. I've tried wiping cache but that did not help. When starting the tablet in safe mode, the issue seems gone. What could be causing this issue?
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, then it is being caused by one of the apps that you've installed. You should go backwards uninstalling each of the apps you've installed starting with the last app you downloaded. Do this uninstalling while you're in safe mode.
If you can't remember the order in which you installed your apps, just uninstall them randomly. After you've uninstalled each app, boot in normal mode and see if you've fixed the problem. Keep uninstalling till you've identified the culprit app. Clearly, any app that is not the problem you can immediately reinstall.
If you want to solve the problem more rapidly, do a factory reset. But you will lose all your installed apps. You'll have to reinstall them one by one. Observe which one brings the problem. Then uninstall that app and never use it again.

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
