as far as I understand this stuff, your best bet would be to flash back to a stable firmware, for your device, maybe the one you had before (I'm hoping you have it written somewhere)

It sound like you removed what ever launcher comes as stock with your rom. Best bet is to just reflash the same rom with out wiping data. That way all the system apps will be restored but you won't lose any apps you have downloaded.
If that doesn't work you may need to do a fresh install of your rom.

good for you. a backup should save your life.
so I installed eaglesblood version 1.08 i think. It is the latest one whaterver version it is and it was a great rom I really liked it but how do you get it to sync with google? Do I have to install gaps or something?If anyone knows I would really like some help because it is way better than stock. I had to restore my last rom because I needed to use the phone for contacts and also I live on long island and we just got hit with a hurricane and I was without sevice when I did the flash and I had no way to get to the market to install anything.

Yes you have too flash gapps. Il here is the link download it place on sd card boot into cwm and install the zip http://www.multiupload.com/WK7CNN5YLR dont forget too hit the thanks.button
Gapps gives you the.market google maps and gmail. Too sync with google u need too have the gapps installed. And click menu settings accounts and syn and click add account then select google and sign in your google account. Then your contacts will be restored and you can download from the market
Cool thanks alot. That is what I thought. I will hit the thanks as soon as I can get to a PC. App doesn't seem to ha e a way to thank you.

That is why i do not use the app i go too xda website.on dolphin browser. Thats how.i read the forumsband download my roms
I also use dolphine HD browser it is the best mobile browser I have ever seen. I dont know why I didnt think of hat in the first place. Oh well I took care of it again I really apriciate your help. So I take it you use Eaglesblood yourself? If I have any question can I ask you? I do want to try all of the ROMS on this fourm.
OK this is weird I reinstalled it and everything is fine but I seem to haved lost my internal SD card. in file manager I cant find it and even when I hooke it up to my PC it is not there. Any Ideas anyone? I did two things differently when I flashed this time. I Always wipe the Dalvik first which I did but then I wiped thecache then did the factory reset usually I just go in order in the list and do Data reset then the one after wipe cache could that have anything to do with it? Also after I flashed the EB ROM I flashed the LG camera and gaps before I reset the phone instead of doing all three in a seperat process maybe that did it? If anyone can help I would really apriciate it.

update: I restored my last backup from right before I flashed EB and everything went back to normal. So what I am doing now Is moving Titainum folder to my external SD so if it happens again I can still install my programs. Good thing I always make two backups of everything one on my HD and one on my ext HD for my computer. I am going to try again with EB because it is a kick ass ROM. Just a pain in the ass to get working right. This Is my first ROM that is not stock or based off stock like XB. I will keep this tyhread updated.
Update: Installed ver 8 again and still not working right I am not getting sservice now only wifi. So I tried ver 7 and that got service right away and it was all good for about 15 minutes and then I lost the green but still had service but no data no epc.tmobile when I search for networks I get 2 tmobile and att neither tmobile works for data. So whats happening anyone?
I rooted and installed the Gingerclone ROM, and now my GPS won't work at all. I've tried a number of apps that are supposed to fix it/test it but nothing has fixed it. It just says 'locating' forever and never actually locates me. I've tried rebooting, doing a battery pull, and even waiting a few days and trying again. Would I need to wipe everything and start from scratch to fix it? If so, how would I go about backing up all of my apps/settings/data? Does a Nandroid backup do that? Help would be much appreciated!
The easiest way to fix your issue would be to do a full wipe and reflash. If that doesn't work then you may have an issue with the hardware on your phone. The full wipe and reflash should work fine though...perhaps check the md5 checksum before you flash to make sure you don't have a corrupted download of the rom.
For backups it seems most people prefer using the app titanium backup. It allows you to backup and restore everything from apps to data. Its one of the best backup/restore apps I've used though it does require root to run.
I use astro file manager to backup and restore apps everytime I flash a new rom.

So what is Nandroid backup? Would that do my apps and settings or do I need to use Titanium?
A nandroid backup would restore everything on your phone (settings, apps, data, etc.) to the state the were when you made the nandroid backup. This is accessible through cwm recovery or through rom manager.
Titanium is a bit more user friendly and has more options to backup/restore.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
Ah okay then. I suppose I'll do both, just to be safe
Good luck with that! And remember if you're using a rom with the voodoo lagfix on it that you disable the lagfix before flashing another rom or you'll softbrick your phone.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I didn't know that, thanks! That is in recovery, right?
Yeah the option is under "voodoo" in recovery. You also need to reboot the phone after toggling the lagfix on or off for it to take effect.
It'll have the womans robotic voice saying stuff when the phone is booting up and what not..
If I'm not mistaken there are also a few voodoo control apps on the market that you can toggle the lagfix on and off with without going into recovery..but again you must always reboot for the changed settings to take affect.

My next suggestion would be either to flash a different rom and test if the gps works..and if that doesn't work then I'd attempt to Odin back to stock and then reroot/flash the gingerclone rom.
If that doesn't work then I don't what to tell you...maybe check through the gingerclone thread to see if anyone's had that same issue.
Okay, so this doesn't really make sense to me, but I was just messing around with settings, and I think what was causing it to not work was having 'network location' enabled - it was using the location from the cell tower and wifi, and for some reason I think that was stopping GPS's more accurate location from showing up. Either way, I think it is working now - I'll be checking it when I go for a drive later tonight...

Very weird. Without having the device I can't help. I added a GPS mod to my Rom. Should make it lock much faster.

remove the space of course, I'm not sure if I can post links
I had tried that, didn't seem to do anything for me. I've worked out that I can get GPS to work by disabling network location. It's not the best fix, but it works for now.

And as stupid as this is i dont know how to take an app listed on the page and install it to the phone. So i am sorry for my ignorant questions here. I just need to know what to do exactly in my noobdom to get back to where i had kick ass sky ICS and hopefully it not eat the battery. I went to bed at 11:30pm the other night with 62% battery and when i got up at 5:30 phone was dead lol. thanks in advanced. and i dont mind starting from scratch if i have too.
Dload and install Calibration battery app.

Just flash stock rom like venom or quikwiz or tpc's rom and install this rom and this way you will have fresh start. Unless you wanna unroot and reroot again.
I would appreciate if you hit that thnx button.
Y do you wanna go stock?

when i download the update, do i install from zip or do i rename it update.zip, then in cw choose install update?
First you flash 6.75z and reboot your phone and than flash other updates. You don't have to rename anything just select "chose from internal storage" and flash the update.

You are the man! I got everything back, well minus stock calculator but thats not a problem. I also loaded that newish spb shell, its very nice so far, and not a single FC. I owe it all to you my friend.
I just wanted to thank everyone for the help with my previous question. Now that I got that fixed, I have another question regarding Titanium Backup Pro and Clock Work Mod for the galaxy S 4G. I downloaded the key for the Titan. Backup to make it Pro. I installed Titan. backup fine no problem. Them when I try to install the key that would make it Pro, a popup came up that said: "Titan. Backup Pro cannot be installed. Free up some space and try again." Well I searched around and found that I should clear the dalvik cache using Clock Work Mod.
My question is how would I install Clock Work Mod on my device and How would I go about clearing the davlik cache using Clock Work Mod?
Are there going to be problem after clearing the davlik cache? And if further on along the line, I want to flash ROM's, should I clear my davlik cache every time just to be safe?
Thank you for the help if you guys/gals can help out.
First off are you running a custom rom? Or are you running stock?
Is your phone rooted?
I am running stock ROM Froyo. Yes, it is rooted.
I'll have to leave it to somebody else to help. so long since I've run froyo... That I wouldn't know were to start lol... plus at the moment I am driving
Use the guide in the second link of my signature to put yourself on Gingerbread - flash with bootloaders - then post back when finished.

Do we have clockwork recovery kernels for froyo?
I was wondering about flashing a ROM like the ICS port, the AOKP one. But I figured that it would be a lot safer if I had a backup of all my data first so I decided to get Titan. Backup. to do the job. and that was what landed me where I am right now.
Any help would be appreciated.

In case you are unaware, you cannot use the guide in the first post as Kies mini will not recognize rooted phones.
To be honest I wouldn't worry about all that if you end up going with gingerbread or ice cream sandwich just go for it
Ah, the thing is I'm also interested in Titan.'s other feature's like freezing apps and stuff like that. Add to that the fact that I bought the app already that would make the regular version turn into the Pro version.
My bad Lumin,i actually was unaware. Think this would work, right lumin?

I'm on aokp but going to ics,cm9,aokp straight from froyo is going to be a shocker

If you have bought titanium backup pro you should have gotten a file emailed to you that you put on your sdcard. Once its there just run regular TiB as its the same but the license will unlock other features.
As for keeping data across the different os's I personally dont recommend saving anything but non system apps. If you want to save texts use sms backup and restore from the play store. Otherwise start fresh that way you dont introduce new bugs into the phone.

Gremlin Remover or Heimdall KJ6 One-Click. The reason is they will both flash bootloaders for you. I referred the OP to the Heimdall One-Click guide because of the more detailed directions and pictures.
So I should just flash a ROM like GB or the AOKP Team Acid ROM anyway right and forget about Froyo? Then install Clock Work Mod on my device or does Clock Work Mod come with the ROM's themselves? If I flash a new ROM, will my dalvik cache be cleared so that I would have enough space to install things? How would I be able to save my contacts, just save them to my SIM card and they should be fine right? Would flashing a new ROM take up my phones internal memory?

You need to flash a gb rom with bootloaders if you are on froyo. Otherwise you will be back upset your phone is broke.
A custom recovery is included in all roms. Once you flash part of the instructions are to factory reset/ data wipe in recovery.
Back you contacts up to the sdcard if you dont use google contacts otherwise you wont be able to access them from the ICS variants.
Yes like I stated when installing a new rom part of it is doing a factory reset/data wipe.
If you really do want to stay on Froyo and you want CWM... then this should work for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
But yeah, you should definitely consider upgrading to Gingerbread asap, *especially* if you're wanting to flash custom ROMs later on down the line. Use the Heimdall One-Click sticked in the development forum.
Eollie i bought tb pro and all that's done is it applies as an app nothing different than when you get tb originally from the market
Lol if you do gremlin remover one click you don't have to make an extra step of flashing a cwr kernel.
As I'm aware heimdall doesn't do it
