I successfully rooted my backflip and was going through the applications to get rid of all the crapware and stupidly deleted some home service file thinking it was the home switcher app i downloaded. Now i have no homescreen and my home button is not functional. I can still see my notifications bar, receive and reply messages but nothing else. Does anyone know of a backup file to restore the home service, or am I screwed??? Help plz.

I upgraded yesterday and seem to have several issues I would love help on.
1. Lost my purchased ringtones
2. Lost my Beautiful Widgets (Problem loading widgets) on screen..I cleared the data and uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted, still gone.
3. When I press the button left of the home button, Google search comes on instead of Settings ect.
How do I fix these problems?
Thanks,
Deb
Beautiful Widgets
Not sure about #1 and #3, but #2 is easy to fix: just remove Beautiful Widgets from your home screen, then add it back. This worked for me (using Launcher Pro)

are you long pressing the menu button? sometimes when the phone gets laggy it doesnt come up so people have a tendancy to hold the button longer then the long press function comes up which is search by default.
all purchased maket apps can be re downloaded once you log into the market account. trust me they are there and can be replaced free of charge. just go into market and click my apps. as for beautiful widgets, uninstall, then reinstall. uninstalling from the market will not remove your privlage to reinstall, if you are within the refund period it will ask you if you want a refund, if you say no you can redownload it as many times as you like.
EDIT: I have withdrawn any help I offered due to the OP sending me a whiny, insulting PM.
I did a long press on the home button on my D2G to view the recently used apps. Now, I cannot get the app drawer to display my apps. Whenever I press the app drawer icon, it takes me to the recently used apps screen. How do I get back to seeing my apps in the drawer? I've tried the back button, long-pressing the home button again, and the menu button, re-booting the phone, wiping cache in stock recovery (cannot launch Droid 3 bootstrap recovery due to problem with the App drawer) but nothing seems to work! The phone has been rooted and band-unlocked (I am not sure if this has any bearing on the problem, but just wanted to mention it).

Did you get this sorted out yet? Are you using the stock launcher or a custom launcher (like ADW or GoLauncher)? Try something, download a custom launcher from the Play store. See if you can see the app drawer using it's own icon on the dock.
So I have rls14 installed on my verizon SIII and i noticed when I'm on a call, i can't clic on anything. like text messages will come up, i can go into the aosp messaging app but i cant open the messages. or if i happen to be in a message when the call comes through, the keyboard wont pop up... not to mention if i get bac to the home screen.. I can't hold the home button to pull up apps nor does the bac button work or the menu button. Once the call is done, everything works fine... any settings or suggestions please?
a month before,i accidently dropped my phone into my tea cup.after that my home key stopped working.i pressed it so hard to make it work .then the long press HOME button functionality(recent app list) keeps on appearing always so that the backlight is always on and i cant use my phone.whenever i open an app the recent app list appears.
That week i gave my phone to a service centre and they opened my phone n cleaned the home key part of my phone.After that my phone had no problem.
A month has been over since i have serviced my phone.Now the problem has returned.

Hi,
I'm having many issues with my Blade S6.
Home key stopped working, unable to hold down and switch apps, no notifications appearing. I re downloaded the latest update in hope i would just be able to manually update but it promts "update package is not matching, please checK'
I did a factory reset from the os and recovery and still the same problems exist.
Any suggestions?
Long press on home will start google now, long press on menu button will start recent apps. For update, you are doing something wrong, but we need more info...

Yes it has previously been working fine with those actions. Also now I can't bring down the toggle bar from swiping down from the top. Also I get no lock screen even though I set a password.
I have attached a screenshot of the update error. Maybe its a build prop error...my blade is from Australia
