I tried everything I could, but to no avail. And none of the settings restored it. Worse still, after that, I could no longer start the phone from a soft reset. The phone would restart but the start button didn't work (neither the hard or soft buttons), and the top bar was gone. I had to do a hard reset and start over. Now I am afraid to do too much playing at all for fear that it won't let me restart the phone. I especially don't want to touch the LockDevice icon, even if by mistake.

It doesn't seem like it was LockDevice that did that. You did something else that modified the shell. The error happens because it's not meant for being included in ROMS. Harmless error.
