[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HarvHouHacker:
I am trying to fix my friend's (rooted) Galaxy S7 Edge, running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1. Whenever I navigate to the Application Manager, the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" appears, and tapping OK brings me back to the main menu of the settings application. Interstingly, after a reboot, Application Manager will work fine for a few minutes, but then the message will appear, and every time I go into the app until I reboot again, it will display that message. Weird! :eek:

Here is the output of logcat:
