So, I was yesterday using my phone and everything was OK. This day, I charged my phone because it was dead and couple mins later I turned it on. I unlocked it, everything looked OK, but I discovered some weird things. My recent apps and home buttons aren't working. When I press recent apps button it lits up but it doesn't do anything. Back button works. Then I saw that there are no notifications in the status bar(I have Kaspersky antivirus so there had to be its notification). And then when I swiped down to check notifications, I tried pressing settings, date and show more buttons, they didn't work either. I pressed power button to restart and in that box airplane and emergency modes buttons are not there. Plus, when I close my S View thing, there's no ...(more) and camera buttons.
Yesterday, I was looking at activities(using Nova launcher and adding a widget for activity) and tried couple, so I think I made something there bad.
My phone is G800F running Stock 4.4.2 without root. No viruses on my device.

This question is solved by myself.
I solved it!
What I did was I went to the Nova Launcher settings and then I changed default launcher to Touchwiz. After it turned on, I got everything that wasn't working now working!

I have an AT&T S5 running stock recovery with towelroot. Phone has been fine today, had 4 apps that required additional permissions for updates today so I ran them. I recall 2 were USAA and Tasker. Also FingerSecurity just got an update prior. After I accepted the additional permissions, I turned the screen off. I then heard it make the lock sound 3 times while the screen was off.
Currently I can turn the screen on or off, however the lock screen never comes up, just the home screen. Everything on the screen is unresponsive and the taskbar is gone. I've rebooted, wiped cache in recovery, it comes up the same way, bypassing the lock screen even though I have it secured with fingerprint. On the 3rd or 4th reboot, I did get a dialog saying systemui crashed. It keeps shifting the icons slightly like it's trying to add the taskbar but they shift about 10 times before finally stopping with no taskbar.
When I long press the power button, I have to be quick otherwise the dialog will disappear.
Is there anything I can do besides a factory reset?
I am having an issue with my rooted, unlocked phone on 5.1.1. Every once in a while when in an app and pressing the home button to go back to the desktop I will instead get a blank screen. The navigation buttons are visible and respond when pressed (a gray background shows briefly when pressed) but don't do anything. I can pull down the notification shade but nothing happens when I press a notification. I can press the setting button but again nothing happens. This happened once while I was playing music and the music continued to play. I have to turn the phone off and then back on again to get it to work again. I thought it might be a Nova launcher problem so I went back to the default Google launcher but it still happens. As a last resort I reloaded the factory image, re-rooted and cleared all ther data to start from scratch but it is still happening. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what is causing this? It is driving me crazy.
Thanks,
John

It happens on my N6 a few times. Mostly when I had changed something.
For instance changing a language textfile of the nav.app Sygic. Or after adding custom Poi's.
Reboot solves the problem.
My idea is that it is related to caching or memory management.
Root N6, 5.1.1 LMY48i, FK r31, encrypted.
Disabled most g-apps;
A strange occurrence happened yesterday with my Galaxy s6 from T-mobile. It is stock, unrooted, and on latest release. all of a sudden, the display screen went into monochrome (black and white ) mode. Battery was at 44%, so i dont think it was due to power saving. I also connected charger to further charge it. After some minutes, i turned it off, and restarted. While restarting, i can see samsung logo in color, and lockscreen was in color for few seconds, and then display immediately went mono. after few couple of more reboots, i wiped the cache in hope to clear any issue due to any app update. but still the same result. Then switched from Nova launcher to Touchwiz , but still the same even after one more reboot. So, i thought the phone may have become defective. Then , after a while, just pressed home button few times trying to unlock the phone, and this time, the screen came back to color!!!!
Has any one ever experienced this? What could be the cause? Software or Hardware?
ok, finally figured out what happened. There is a "Accessibility" menu, and one of the "direct access" shortcut is to make the screen grayscale, for whatever reason, that shoutcut key was checked. once you press home key 3 times in succession , that feature will be enabled.
Without doing anything myself, my Moto X 2014 has almost reset itself whilst I was asleep.
The first warning was no notifications, there's always an email or two, but then it wouldn't let me pull the quick settings down either. The phone wasnt using Smart Lock, in fact most system settings were reset. I figured something might be wrong with xposed (however, it's been running for months with no change, no updates to Android, xposed framework, or modules) so I updated all the modules and rebooted, still nothing. For some reason I went and switched to guest account, then switched back to my account and I'm now able to see notifications I missed and use phone almost normally. But my settings had reset and after setting swiftkey back up I see "Predictions not available. Check SD card." so typing is a pain.
My home button isn't working either, it flashes but doesn't do anything. The back and multitasking buttons work. Holding home button brings up Google Now on Tap, but it doesn't take me to home screen.
What could have happened? Is my storage knackered? Its not near full. Just to be clear, all my apps remained installed and logged in as far as I can tell. Only SwiftKey and the Home buttons remain as a problem.
Edit: Bluetooth devices also reset, wasn't connected to car stereo.
Edit 2: reinstalled swiftkey and predictions came back. Rebooted and they went again! Home button still not working.
Edit 3: Installed CatLog and when I press home it says: Not starting activity because user setup is in progress. So it thinks I'm trying to do first time setup? My accounts are already there (one of the settings that did remain).
Edit4: Ran
Code:
am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
as root (use su command) in terminal emulator and managed to complete setup... Home button works now and SwiftKey predictions seem to be working after a few reboots.
I hope that never happens again.
I got this problem recently, When screen switch off , any foreground app will go to background, for example if i was reading whatsapp and screen switched off, when i switch it on i see Home screen. also if i press power button screen switched off and take me to home screen when i open it. This happen even when i have a call, when i put phone to my ear the phone app goes background!.
what i did:
1. tried everything might do that in setting
2. reset all application from application manager
3. erased TouchWiz data
4. restart
5. removed fingerprint lockscreen
more: my device is rooted and have application that manage touchwiz and kernel which i did not use recently.
i googled for this problem did not find any solution
any help please?
Solved:
After removing Firefds and XtouchWiz from exposed the problem gone.
I had them few months ago didnt used them recently. Tried to modify setting through them but problem still. So I removed them and now every thing OK.
HI
Just for your information, I had the same problem with my Samsung A40 phone, after 2 days of awful investigation I found out that enabling ONE HANDED MODE had caused this issue. Turn it off, everything goes back to normal
