[Q] General Problems After Rooting - Do I need a different ROM? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey, I searched for this and didn't find anything that applied to my issue. I just rooted my HTC EVO a week ago and since then there has been random force closes, email accounts on HTC's Mail app combining together bringing a few emails from one account to the other, and now my phone dialer does not work. It opens but I can see no numbers to push and can only dial through contacts. I cleared the Dalvik cache today to see if that did anything, and even tried end process and clear data for the dialer to no avail. I'm running the "stock" rom and kernel, and have only installed SetCPU, WirelessTether, SystemPanelLite, and CurrentWidget since rooting. Nothing has changed otherwise. I rooted with UnrEVOked, recovery is clockworkmod. Do I need to get rid of the "stock" ROM in order to prevent these problems? The phone worked flawlessly before I rooted.
Below is a screenshot of the problem, names and phone numbers were blurred with photoshop after i took the screenshots. It literally looks the exact same on my screen, no numeric dialer whatsoever. Almost like the dialer should be there since it cuts off the last half of the bottom recent contact.

What is the deal here?
Below is a ddms of what happens when I click log in. (And yes, I am using the correct password.) What the hell is this stupid SNG error?
I got one of these message when I first tried it, but after I uninstall and reinstall, it miraculously work. However after a few days I have decide to remove from my phone, since it is not that great as I have thought. It logs out of my account and forget about my account details everytime I power on/off my phone and since I asked it to intergrate with my contacts it transfers some of my contact's facebook profile picture as my contact's picture, I am fine with that until when I power on/off, all the data is gone and it will be up again taking a long time syncing back everything again.
After a few days, I just got tired of logging in every reboot and re-sync and decide to remove it.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and that didn't help.
I think I'm just going to uninstall for good. Way too buggy.
If anyone knows of a permanent fix, or an updated version, feel free to post; I still have this thread as a subscription.

[Q] unknown Russian home screens - hacked?

My wife's phone was displaying these home screen images when she woke it up today.
Immediately prior to seeing these, she did the following: Opened Dolphin, signed into a Yahoo Groups account to download a work PDF, browsed Drudgereport or theDailyMail, set her phone down.
A few minutes later, she turned the screen on, slid the unlock bar and then boom, these images. Just like a home screen, she could swipe left and right and see the additional screens. They were not interactive in any way, though. I took pics of the screens and then hit the "home" button and everything seemed normal--then she pulled her battery and is leaving it off until we figure this out.
She has no suspect apps, nothing recently installed, no blackmarket app downloaders...
WTF is going on?

I think that's a launcher
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
I suspected a launcher, but she has nothing new/changed on settings. I'll power her phone up and go through all her apps.
Any idea what launcher it could be? I'm not familiar with any that feature this kind of default text or lack of actual style...and I've been flashing Roms and rooting since the G1.

Interactive Phone, People, Email & Calendar Icons on JB?

Recently for some unrelated reasons, I had to do a complete wipe/reset of my phone.
Until then, I had been running ICS. Since I had to reload anyway, I went with the stock JB load.
Something I immediately noticed was that the Phone, People, & Calendar icons/shortcuts no longer appear to be interactive? Just simple shortcuts.
For example, on ICS, the Phone & People icons in the launcher had up/down swipe actions (see the up/down triangles). The Calendar and Email shortcuts had the same ability.
Now on JB, they're just basic icons/shortcuts. I've looked through all the settings and don't think I'm missing anything. Is this something that was just dropped by Motorola/Google on JB?

Ok, so apparently this feature is called "Quick View" and was disabled by Motorola in all Jelly Bean ROMs. Several people with the Atrix were also complaining about it missing.
It wasn't "removed", but disabled from what I understand. The component for it seems is still present in the ROM (see below).
Any ideas on how to re-enable it? I'm not coming up with much discussion scouring the net.

Contacts not syncing at all

Xperia z3 d6653 marshmallow on rooted existenz rom.
Since past some days my google account aint syncing my contacts at all.
Just now I finally removed /deleted my google a/c from android phone and re added but still everything gets synced except contacts.
My contacts are still dead blank!!
I tried clearing contacts data etc but no luck,

}
Now do i have to format my phone for such stupid issues?
Update.
I also completely formatted my phone and wiped everything..data, ache, dalvik, and did factory reset and wiped internal memory too.
Still same issue.
Why is nobody able to answer this query?
Seems its the toughest query ever posted.
Do you think it could be something to do with the ROM? If you're willing to wipe your phone, maybe try installing a new ROM?
Also, have you ever experienced any problems with the sync before this time? Can you describe any significant actions leading up to the problem occuring?
Good Luck!

SAMSUNG Notes - Color

Hello,
So, I have 2 SAMSUNG S8+' and, I use pretty much both, as in, all the time.
I work in SAMSUNG Notes all the time, be it for casual reasons or otherwise.
However, although I did notice this difference before, I didn't really look into it to figure out what's going on...
So, the problem is, when I go into the "more font color options" and or "more font background color options":

}
I happen to be displayed a different menu on both phones:
Above screenshot from the phone I'm currently posting this thread from, and:
This one displayed on my 2nd Phone.
NOTE: Both phones have the latest app, software and system version and or update, and are also setup the very same way in-app settings and options as well as app settings and permissions. Also also, I re-installed the apps, cleared cache(s) and verified if there is anything different on one phone than the other (which obviously shouldn't be (and wasn't) since both are setup to be identical), as well as restarted a few times in the process, cleared memory (isn't the issue) and tried finding answers on my own.
App Version:
So, my question is:
How and why, are they displayed differently and how could I change either of them to display the other?
