Help what happened

i recently upgraded my galaxy s to 2.2 with the cognition thing, and after playing around something happened. i just wanted to install non market apps. so i downloaded z4 root and rooted it, seemed fine. then i went into root explorer, got settings.db and edited it on my pc, changed the 0 to a 1 next to non market apps. i put it back, and now my phone is acted really strangely.. the home button doesn't work, the search button doesn't work, when i hold power, the only option is power off, and the keyboard just switched back to samsung keyboard when i had it on swype. any help..

You were rooted when you installed Cognition, there was no reason to root again. Something went wrong when you did that. I would try to do a master clear in Odin and reinstall Cognition.

Also, you should be able to just install nonmarket apps without having to reset settings.db if you're running a custom ROM. There's no need to 'fix' anything - if it ain't broke, don't fix it! :)
