One UI 7 broke a lot of things - help?

[AnakhaS]

So I just updates to Onw UI 7 and really wish I hadn't. Here is a list of things that stopped working:

1. Clicking the settings button does nothing, not even if I use search to find it. I cannot open Settings anymore.

2. The Edge panel disappeared even though it's enables.

3. The top notification and settings is gone. Swiping down does nothing so I don't have a quick way to turn on wifi, location settings, bluetooth  ... anything I use constantly.

4. My phone is set to vibrate and it doesn't vibrate when messagea come in even though the vibration works.

5. My bottom buttons are set to apps - home - back and yet the back button sits on the left and clicking right or center does nothing.

The whole top bar of my keyboard is greyed out aside from the settings wheel so I can'r use emojis, for example.

6. No easy way to switch between apps unless I fully exit them as the apps button doesn't work.

7. The clock disappeared from my top icons.

I'm sure there's more. Already lost an hour on this. So regret having updated.

Do have custom theme and or icons? 

Did you wipe phone cache partition 

Do you have Autoinput app (tasker)

I stupidly automatically hit update and everything changed and I can't reverse- is there any way of getting rid of this update?

[Piper123]

In a word, no

But almost every part of your device is customisable with many features and settings from One UI6.1 still available

As other message I'm locked into darkness mode which is awful. AI another issue but I can't use my phone in dark mode - any idea how to unlock so I can go back to light?

Press this button to go between dark and light mode easily.

Thank you but how do I now get to that screen? I used to get to it by pulling down from the top but that now produces nothing. In the actual settings I cannot move the spot in the circle from dark to light, it will not let me change.

And I've just found all my screenshot have gone, whole folder just disappeared!

And what third-party launchers you use  all with complaints "OneUI 7 broke all my stuff " 

 If you can , return your system to OneUI 7 launcher and check if you're third-party launchers have an update. If you can't- solution is factory reset. Big system upgrade is not done via third-party launchers 🙄

Similar issue after upgrading, I fixed it by booting to safe mode then back to normal mode.
