Question System UI crash and stuck screen cutout overlays - ASUS ZenFone 8

Upgraded to Android 12 and noticed some ugly bugs with system ui.
Occasionally, during camera ring animation or landscape mode (youtube for example), the overlays for cutouts and camera ring/hole remain active.
They are not visible in the screenshots so it must be an overlay. The only way to get rid of this is if the System UI crashes and restarts or I restart the phone.
It can be days or hours between this behaviour.
Is there a way to crash/force restart system ui without rebooting the phone? What could surely trigger the crash?
This problem has been documented on zentalk - https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/57673/system-ui-stopped-working/p1
thanks!

This problem started occuring in ANdroid 12 betas. THe Zentalk beta forum has 3 or 4 threads about this bug. Actually Asus seems not wanting to fix it.

Have you disabled System UI from accessibility settings? It should fix the issue.

Was never enabled.

Fixed it for me after being a beta tester and still experiencing it until a week or so ago. A factory reset was the solution, it's a bit of a bruteforce way to do it, but hey, if it works it works right?

How to disable full auto rotation?

anyone know how i can disable reverse landscape and reverse portrait in the build prop?
i am going crazy as i have apps that need to lock the rotation in landscape that do not work with MIUI for some reason. not even tasker will work and i have no idea why. i've been using this program for years and I've never had this problem. the only thing i can think of that is causing a problem is the fact that this is the only rom i've had with full all directions auto rotation.

I've used it for years on various devices,never had a problem w/it.
IDK if this will override the system settings (needs accessibility permissions,I'm guessing it'll work afterwards).

Multi-Tasking Glitch - Internet Browsers blacked out on the bottom of the screen

tI've been using my Note 8 for about a week and a half and I've encountered a really annoying bug that wasn't there on the first day.
When I'm in any kind of multi-tasking screen, any Internet Browser on the bottom half of the screen is blanked out. So for example, in the two screenshots below, I have Amazon and NewEgg open in Samsung Browser and Chrome at the same time. Whichever one is on the bottom is completely blanked out. If I switch which app is on the bottom, it switches which one will be blacked out.
In my phone, it looks black, but in the screenshots below it looks white.
Anyone know what this could be? Admittedly, it could be a lot of different things--I've been toying with Bx Actions, Bk package disabler / ADB, Nova Launcher, my settings, etc...
As it stands now, the rest of the phone works great, but I may have to factory reset my device.
It would also help if someone can tell me how to reliably create a bunch of restore points so I can move in iterations next time I set everything up.
Thanks

Camera bug/One UI 4.1

Soooo, the last few days I'm facing the weirdest bug. The camera suddenly stops working it says camera failed, or that I cannot use the camera in more than one application. The thing is, I've tried everything. The bug persists in safe mode, I've done a factory reset, I've tried downgrading to another version of Android 12(previous update) via Odin, and still the same. And then all of a sudden, it starts to work again, and then breaks a few minutes/hours later. Any suggestions?

Hello ninokiller1915
Go to device maintenance - click on memory - Run now.
when done, close all open applications (if any) and restart your phone. that should help.

Still doesn't work. I've tried literally everything I've known.

General Camera crashing randomly

Hi there,
My camera has been crashing frequently for no apparent reason. It will open just fine, but after some use or switching between modes, the app will crash. Other apps that use the camera like Snapchat or BinaryEye (QR code scanner) sometimes continue to work, but once the initial crash happens, the camera itself typically no longer functions. I will note that the crash doesn't have to happen on just the Asus camera app. I have noticed that it will crash while using Snapchat as well. Another thing I noticed is that the standard 1.0x zoom has trouble focusing, but switching to 0.6x wide-angle is somehow okay.
I have only received an error once, see below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have tried going back to Asus' Android 12, along with installing LineageOS and StatixOS. Unfortunately, nothing has fixed the issue. At this point, I assume that there is something wrong with the hardware itself. It's just really weird how it works sometimes perfectly fine, then messes up and crashes out of nowhere.
Have any of you had this issue? If so, have you found a fix? I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks
