Small issue. Perhaps easy fix? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hopefully without flashing back to stock and re-doing everything.
Running a rooted stock MJ4 ROM. Used Root Explorer to remove APK's (likely why I'm having this issue. So perhaps finding out which apk I removed would rectify this.)
Whenever I click my home button ON my designated home screen it locks up and freezes and says "touchwiz has stopped responding"
It's highly annoying...

Just Odin the stock MJ4 tar in the dev section. It is posted by Skunk Ape. It doesn't wipe data so all you will have to do is reroot and flash a recovery. Somebody could probably tell you which apk it was but we would have to know every one you removed. Other option is to just reflash a nandroid or ref lash the stock ROM you are on without wiping data.

More than one, which is why you were provided a sound answer. Deleting apks could lead to undesired outcomes, as there are dependent library files (amongst other items, like archive files, sound, images) that go with them.
If all you did was delete apks, I'll send you a list of what should be in there. You could compare them one at a time, and let us know which are missing. Once that's known, I'll link you the ones to backfill.
Give me a minute and I'll post here. Now you might see why @ifly4vamerica and @w7excursion suggested the other route (it's a long dang list).
This is from MJ4 DeOdex; let me know if you need Odex:

Righteous. Would be tremendously helpful.
I specialize is desktop and things pertaining to X86. Anything I could ever do in this field, lemme know. I'm glad to assist. I'm down right stupid with Linux and phone type things.

Flashing a stock rooted rom will probably be faster and easier. I've goofed up my phone doing the same thing lol.

I deleted everything related to Knox, Sprint and mobile printing.

Copy/paste the filenames from my post and I'll link them.
I suggest you freeze these in the future, not delete them.

Well if this is the case, I'll re flash stock ROM. And freeze them.
But how do I freeze them?

App manager, select disable if an option (for most of the ones you referenced, it is). For others, like connection optimizer, you can use Titanium Backup to freeze. I suggest doing the latter one or two at a time with a reboot in between to make sure you aren't freezing apps that cause the same issue.
