In trying to fix a connectivity issue with my school wifi, I did a factory reset in TWRP (after making a backup). Upon completing the reset and restore, many functions have stopped working. Most apparent:
-Home key now only functions as lock (screen off/on) switch, and no longer returns to home screen (I'm using Nova Launcher), long press does not bring up recent apps (and using xposed to reassign menu button to recent apps makes that button do nothing as well.)
-Settings button in notification panel does nothing
-paid apps not downloading from play store (none work any longer)
-general difficulty accessing/implementing account data from google apps
I still have root, and those apps are all working fine, but paid features such as Nova Launcher Prime aren't working. When I checked the play store, I got a an error "-24" if I tried to reinstall that app. Based on online recommendations, I uninstalled Play Store updates and cleared the cache, rebooted, and now play store won't even load my apps list and closes due to an unexpected error. Does anybody have any ideas? Could reflashing the firmware help? I feel like there are probably other problems waiting for me to discover.
Thank you so much in advance
