[Q] Settings Menu Crashes - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an issue with the settings menu crashing, when accessed from both the drop down and the homescreen.. anyone else having this? I've frozen a number of 'bloaty' apps using noBloat but have looked things over and can't seem to find any glaringly obvious apps that would cause this when frozen/removed.
Any ideas?

Browser Settings

I changed my UAString for the built in browser to Desktop but now whenever I open the app it force closes immediately. I tried doing a factory reset hoping that it would reset the browser settings but the browser is still force closing. I even tried the solutions posted in (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7237114) for the Vibrant and no luck there either.
I am new to android so I am hoping that someone here can give me a solution to get the browser working again. Also, my phone is rooted and non-market apps are enabled.
Nobody has any ideas as to how to fix this?
I guess I should have posted it when more people would be online instead of four in the morning.

I had the same problem. Go to settings from the home screen. Then applications. Then manage applications. Then press the menu key and change the filter to show all applications. The browser should show up in the list. Select it and delete all app data. the browser should work now.

No luck, still force closing even after deleting the app data (not sure how though since all settings should be cleared).
Any other ideas by any chance?

What setting button?
And which rom?
I had never heard this issue before some users are reporting such issue that my settings app is gone because android showing its a harmful app just like miexplorer actually its not harmful but android security system showing its harmful and asking about to unistall it. Like the same i think android setting is an inbuilt application so its asking about to disable it and if someone done that then its getting invisible.

I have backed up all my files and went to 33R.
Seems Google settings is seeing 'Settings'' as harmful??
So I used Kingo Root to root and Myandroidtools to look at the shut down apps to restore it. A must have to root to fix this.
And also these functions will prevent future notifications.
sorted so can be locked.

draw over others apps not working

Hello! Draw over other apps suddenly stops working. All the apps (such facebook messenger or navbar) appears active but when I open those apps they say me that I have to activate draw over other apps... Anybody with the same problem? I reset the app preferences already but still not working. Thanks!

Lockscreen notifications?

Is there any way to get lockscreen notifications on this device?
I had a similar issue.
Although I did fix it on some level, still there is and issue some times and when I remove the lockscreen, the notifications are swarming.
Which is the phone version? 2.11 or 2.19?
I am on version 2.19. How did you fix the issue?
Just settings of the applications and permissions.
But still, the issue partially persist as I described in my previous post.
Is your phone rooted?
Yes, I am rooted. App settings did not change anything.
It's odd cause the rest didnt complain from that issue.
As far as I can see it's not a common issue.
What I notice is that, application which counts on the google framework do that.
Probably we didn't make something correctly as it should.
What launcher are you using by the way?
I use Nova, but not even using the nubia launcher changed a thing. There is an option to display notifications on the lockscreen in the notification settings, but it does nothing.
I installed a bunch of chinese apps. Could this bei the problem?

Not saving google settings in Samsung's browser.

I've been experiencing an issue since the Pie update. My home page is google.com. I scroll down to the settings at the bottom (I'm signed out) and under search history, I check off "Do not save searches". This randomly changes itself back to the default settings. Nothing seems to trigger it. Sometimes it will be the next time I open the browser, sometimes it will be after a few uses. Sometimes it will even show recent searches, and I go back to the settings and "Do not save searches" is STILL checked off. Most times it's checked "Save searches" though.
I've tried logging into my google account, and doing it that way. Recent search history is paused, but I still experience the issue where when I click the search bar, it shows my recent searches. This isn't 100% of the time, but at least 50% of the time anyway. It's annoying. I've already searched that stuff, I don't need to search it again. I've cleared the cache for the app, the data, etc. Nothing seems to be permanently make these settings stick. Anyone else experiencing this? I swear I had this problem in the past, and there was a fix for it, but everything I've come up with so far tells me to either log into my google account and freeze search history, or just disable it using the method I'm using. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
