Moved to general as not android development

are you rooted?
it sounds like your launcher program is not working. If this is the case you can try logging into your android market account on your computer and pushing ADW launcher to your ROOTED android phone.
I am not sure if this will work with a galaxy S device, but I had a similar problem with my rooted mytouch 3g. I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro. Thus no home screen, and almost no way to get to my applications. I went onto android market and pushed the ADW launcher to my phone. It downloaded and installed, and voila, fixed the problem.
You can give it a try.

yes I'm rooted.

curious...
did my suggestion work? The one issue is that your interface will no longer look so much like touchwiz.
You might be able to find that original apk somewhere on xda or somewhere else, and then reinstall it.
ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro are both excellent alternatives to the stock launcher that comes with the phone.

Thanks Man! Here are the Instructions!

Thanks Deckard your idea worked! But TW launcher reinstall was unsucceful...I installed Tag Home Launcher and that went great! I had to:
1. Power off Phone.
2. Press Both "Up" And "Down" + The power Button to get to Recovery Menu.
3. Delete all User Data/ Yes
4. Reboot phone
5. On the Tutorial it showed me a link so i clicked it which opened the browser or one can press the search button and say "go to " google dot com"
6. once browser is open go to "market dot android dot com "or simply go to the market web page or simply google tag home launcher apk
7. install then complete the wizard. it will give you the option to select which launcher to use.
8. Done!
But for some reason i still cant use it.
i have to use the Tag Home. Is there anyway to delete TWLauncher?

get Titanium Backup Free, then browse the installed apps and you can uninstall the TWLauncher

Calkulin 1.1 issues with Tweetdeck / Launcher Pro Plus

I just installed the Calkulin v1.1 ROM & 2.6.32.33 pershoot kernel and am loving the combination so far, but I have two issues and I'm wondering if others are seeing the same things.
The Tweetdeck app will force close every time I click on a tweet to reply, click on URL, etc. I initially saw this after restoring from a Titanium Backup, but after reformatting/reflashing, I'm still seeing the behavior after a fresh install of the app. Any idea what might be happening here? Other twitter applications are working fine, but Tweetdeck is by far my favorite.
Secondly, I'd like to get Launcher Pro Plus installed but I can't figure out how to get the Launcher Pro free version uninstalled first. I tried dropping the .apk into /system/app but that didn't work, and ultimately led to the reformatting/reflashing I mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Other than these two nags, I love the ROM. It's definitely the snappiest of any I've tried so far.

Did you try using home switcher to get launcher pro active after install?

you shouldn't need to unistall launcher pro if you have the paid version, just either restore the backup you did of it before you flashed the Caulkin ROM or go into the settings and unlock it with the code they gave you.

The package installer returns an 'Application Not Installed' message when I attempt to install.
I assume this occurs because the full version can't install alongside the free version?

it's Probably due to the fact that it's in the system partition instead of the data/app folder but you should be able to activate it anyway

there aren't two different versions of launcher pro, just one. you have to unlock it in order to use all the features. just reflash the ROM and go to the settings for launcher pro and unlock it with the code you should have paid to get.

Swype Beta 3.0 on EVO... any success?

Hi all,
As the title implies, I just tried updating to the newest version and keep getting an error telling me that it's running in limited mode (allows key press) but when I swype, NOTHING!
The funny thing is when i try to generate the license I follow the steps:
1) click disable swype (it then throws you to the keyboard selection screen where i choose android keyboard)
2) uncheck swype (I don't even see this option on the keyboard selection screen, I'm on MIUI
3) hit generate license
For the previous build... the hack/fix/trick was to start from a swpye free device, install the installer, then install swype... After doing this, you don't go back into the installer to generate the license, you'd go backup the swype apk using a backup tool, then uninstall swype... then restore the backup (then long press home button) and click on swype installer which would register and generate ok.
Any Thoughts?

Worked perfect for me. As a previously registered member, all I did was log in. Dl the installer. Installed the swype. Used it. Realized why i deleted it to begin with. Uninstalled. Looks better, yes...would rather type the Damn thing out than have to correct over and over again little errors that my HTC kingdom keyboard fixes. Good luck w your install tho

Also mine generated its own license after i completed the install.

weird... are you on MIUI?
I'm at a loss as to why it won't work.
I'm trying some suggestions found here:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup!

i finally got my hands on a 3.0 apk. It will not install. The forums say it won't install over a "system" version. So now i think i have to figure out how to remove the installed version.

One of the new features of 3.0 was tap correction, so it can do the same things the stock keyboard can as well.

It sounds like you've got the preloaded version installed.
Try using root explorer to uninstall it.

Well isn't that amazing!!
Finally got this working on MIUI.
I followed the steps from the 4th post on http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup
"Sorry, but for me it does not work.
This guide has now works for me.
Download installer
Download and install swype
At the enable step leave the installer and select swype as the input device
Reboot your phone
After Reboot, open the swype installer again
Select "Select Android keyboard" and change input back to android keyboard
Choose disable swype, go to applications and uninstall swype but NOT THE INSTALLER
Go back to the installer and generate license
This should put you through the download process again so just follow it and re-install swype
Once re-installed it should generate the license, but it still won't work
Reboot your phone again and all should work, enjoy!

However, thank you for your help! "

This is exactly what i had to do. I found the existing swype apk, deleted it, restarted the phone and was able to install the new version.
All i have to say so far is awesome! Typing in "normal" mode doesn't seem to lag or be as clumsy as before. Plus(my favorite feature so far) it now asks if you would like to add a word to the dictionary instead of just adding whatever i happened to be typing at the time on it's own. MUCH more control over what words are included. I'm still playing around with it, but so far i'm impressed.

Does miui comes work swype already? If it does you will need to get a file explorer...then go to system/app and look for swype....when you find swype deleted and then reboot your phone...when the phone is on instal swype installer and swype and just follow the instruction to regenerate the license....it work for me....

There is also a library file to delete. in system/lib/libswype.so or something like that. I had to delete that file before it would work for me.

Its more efficient to delete the swype.apk from system/app if you need a file explorer let me know our you can go to the market and download one

I'd also say just titanium backup to remove and then install the new apk.
Worked for me at least, and man is this worlds better than 2.5xxx

all thats needed to install the new beta is uninstall the official apk and lib.
on miui just install then restart the phone. the licence will generate itself. im loving the new beta, but i must admit im a bit jealous if the themeing honeycomb users got for the honeycomb version of swype 3.0.

No issues here. Just uninstalled Swype and went to beta.swype.com to download the new one.

(REQ) GoLocker for ICS CleanNote Rom

Hey. I will like to request an app that is like go locker lockscreen unlock but im on touchwiz. i tried installing go locker but cant as it need go launcher. does anyone have any ideas on how to do it? and 1 more thing, anyone knows how to make like the reboot, recovery and download mode shortcut when we long press our power button? thanks

anyone?

As far as i know you cannot use Go apps without the launcher and if you need lockscreen app than i am sure Widget locker is the best one and for your other request that feature comes with mostly custom ROM's but i am sure if you search the forum you should be able to find a MOD for it.
Try searching as "Power menu mod" and yes you need a rooted phone to install those mods.

Need help getting launcher into landscape mode

I got xposed and installed g3 tweakbox 2.2, enable the hidden launcher menu, but any changes I make go back to default as soon as I back out. Reboots don't help.
I'm on a marshmallow stock based Rom.
I don't want to use an app that's always in the notification bar.
If there's no other way, I'll use nova launcher. Thanks
