[Q] Softkeyz Broke Me - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I found out yesterday that Softkeyz works on the Nexus 6 to change my nav buttons. I changed them successfully last night. I created a backup in the app before changing any of the buttons. An hour ago, I tried to change one button and I decided to revert back to my created backup. Ever since then my nav bar and status bar and lockscreen have completely disappeared and won't work. I tried multiple reboots and I tried restoring the backup again and tried changing the buttons. I read on a Sony Xperia forum that a SystemUi.apk file may work? If anyone could help that would be great. I'm trying to fix it without having to factory reset of possible. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Downloaded a stock zip file and flashed it and it fixed everything.

[Q] Status Bar on V30B / Nooby does not slide down

So I tried the V30B Europe official ICS ROM and had a go with the Nooby pure version but for both I can't seem to slide down the status/notification bar on the top. I tried installing a third party status bar (Omega) and it changed the status bar but the problem is still there. Is there a fix?
After flashing the rom, press the home button. Then the set-up wizard should pop up. Complete that and you're on your way

If you read page 1 of thread with V30B links, you should notice that problem is pretty common and says you need to do factory reset and afterwards, notification bar is working.

Thanks for the replies. A factory reset after the fact indeed fixed it for me. I didn't read that in the post where I downloaded it and I did the factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe prior to installing from zip.
it was actually because you didn't had the start guide

"Android is upgrading" and phone.apk DPI

Hey guys wanna check if anyone's experienced this and if anyone has a fix for these issues.
Firstly, after rooting, I noticed that I always get a message saying "Android is upgrading" every reboot. I've tried foxes suggested in other threads of other phones but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
The second issue is upon changing the dpi in build.prop to 320, the phone.apk and dialer in contacts.apk messes up in the sense that there is no call button. I've used App Settings to change the individual dpi of each app back to 480 but the call button is not restored. Only when build.prop is 480 does it come back.
Anyone can help with the above issues? :/ can't find anything in the forums about these.

Which ROM are you using, because almost all of the ROM installs advise to factory reset and delete cache etc, in which case I don't think you should not get upgrading apps message on first boot.
Something is not right with your delvik cache, this normally only occurs when you clear your delvik cache. I would suggest backup, factory reset, reinstalling a ROM, then root.

I'm on stock. I only rooted using Bin4ry's tool and that was all. The only things I did extra was flash black soft keys and flash White Balance with TWRP. I've done a full factory reset before, even using PC companion to repair and re-install the firmware but this still occurs.

This is the same as "wiping dalvik" in CWM or TWRP right? Doesn't seem to work. I've re-flashed the firmware and the root doesn't seem to give any issues. It's not TiBu like other threads for other devices have mentioned either. I think it's Xposed that caused it. I used it to install App Settings which lets me change individual app settings. Will try it out again and see what happens.
EDIT: Okay it seems to be the flashing of the soft keys to make it black.
You have to delete the. Odex files for the black navbar mod

I can get into recovery but that's about it.
the message keeps popping up so hard to do anything else.
Is it possible to flash a new System UI?

Just for your info, if you hard press the home button you can open Google now, and from the search bar you can open any of your apps, if of course you have anything on there that may help!

i will take it from the begining.
i flashed asylum 4.4.1 and i was getting the error low disk space. so in root browser i deleted some dirs... don't know wich one to free space. the phone freezed and i went to recovery, flashed sweet rom v11.1. after flash the phone started just as it was after a reboot. the setup wizard dind't start and when i locked the device from the power button the screen went off, but when i pressed the home button the lockscreen was missing. i tried to change the lock way to pin/code or any other option. so i tried to restart the phone, but when i pressed the power button for 2 seconds i didn't get the restrart/shut down/airplane/silent menu, instead the phone shut down directly. the same problem persists even in MIUI. on 4.4.1 i have the lockscreen, but it's not that friendly for me...
Ok, I had this problem one. You've deleted too many files. I can't remember which. Please tell me the directories, where You have deleted the files, maybe my memory comes back .
Sent from note, a phone like never before
Edit:
I've found those files (from my s2), the only problem is that I don't know where they belong.
Are those the files You have deleted (imei)?
