Sorry, i have no idea how to solve that. Since i never use theme for my iPhone. Maybe you should reinstall the device.

Yes restore an original ipsw image that the device ships with and then re-jaibreak if you wish. I would recommend next time before changing something at system level you do a search and see if anyone has had trouble with that type of modification.

Yeah, i think reinstall the device is the last idea. Or try to disable the tweak again via the Cydia.

Could be a glitch related to improperly Jailbreaking your phone. Since you’ve voided the warranty your best bet would be to try a third party Apple repair shop. Best of luck.
