[Q] android accedentally deleted launcher - General Questions and Answers

can anyone help me i accedentally deleted tw launcher on android galaxy s is there any way to reinstall apk via computer . i have a black screen and phone is basicly useless without any launchers

Just managed to solve similar situation, topic starter probably solved his problem but I bet he's not the only one.
Push Search button to get into browser, get into "Send page" submenu, choose Gmail to login into your google account and than send any launcher .apk to yourself - you'll get new mail notification and will be able to install .apk right from that email.

[Q] Just got my transformer

Wanting to know what apps I should download really.
Also is it possible to have push email on this as I've set up my gmail but it don't seem to be working.
Any tips and tricks welcome
You might want to post in the appropriate forum (themes and apps forum).
If you have set up Gmail through the red Gmail icon, then it should be push.
correct. You wont get the snazzy email widget going through native gmail app but at least you get oush. Any unread count widgets out there that work on TF?

[Q] how to recover widget and sync for gmail

Hi everyone,
I bought an Atrix about 1 month ago, I like it very much and I've been playing around and trying to catch up with some android knowledge because I used BB for several years..
So yesterday I installed ADW launcher and I'm getting used to it, but I can not recover the accuweather widget. If i try to add it, it says my location already has a widget. But I can not figure out how to switch to the motoblur launcher to delete it, or delete it some other way... it might be simple but I am clueless..
Also, Gmail seems to have stopped refreshing unless I do it manually. I have switched simcards a few times to be able to download apps from the market (I am currently in China), not sure if I can reset it somehow? Other email and notifications seem to work ok.
Thanks for your advice.

[Q] Replacing the Contacts App

I'm looking for a way to replace my Samsung GS3's contacts app with an ASOP style app (CM would be best for me). I used to run CM but through a long story my phone was returned to stock and had the 4.3 OTA installed on it. I'm stuck now.
I managed to replace the Samsung Email app with the CM 10.2 version of same and thanks to Google releasing their Calendar app on the Play Store I just disabled S Planner (hate it) and use that. The only one left is the god-awful contacts app. I tried using the same process I did for the email app, which was to wipe data and remove the Samsung email apps accounts and then use Titanium Backup to uninstall it. I then went and put the Email.apk file from CyanogenMod 10.2 in its place. Worked like a charm for email but the contacts app keeps telling me there is an error with the package when I do this.
I also tried using both Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk but that didn't work either. Anyone have an ideas? The problem is no matter what I do the system won't recognize Contacts.apk as an app and list it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm pretty sure the contacts app relies on the phone app as well to work properly. You might be better off trying to find a contacts app from the store that is similar to CM

Enable Stock Email App in Lollipop 5.0

I know a lot of people really like the new gmail app. Visually speaking it is very nice but it does not have a combined view which did not work for me. I also liked using the two different widgets within the apps to differentiate my email account.
Here is a quick and easy method of enabling both the stock email and gmail app. You must have your system rooted. First install Uninstaller Pro (RU) to remove both the stock email app and gmail app. Next install both the stock email and gmail app from the play store. That's it. You are back to the setup you are used to.
well, it worked in the sense that I can open the stock email app again, but it won't connect to my hotmail account. I tried both the auto setup and the manual method, either it gives me server error or a username/password error.
I might be wrong here (haven't tested it because I don't use the stock email app), but wouldn't something like titanium backup also be able to uninstall the apps?

Hi guys
I saw that this post was seen more than a hundred times but no one has interacted
I ask all those who are facing the same issue to post it, maybe Sony will react with an update to correct
Thanks
Flash new firmware in flashtool, and select to wipe everything except ssd(internal storage) and you are golden.
Installing Facebook and Messenger automatically adds Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager to your installed apps in settings. Interfering these apps might break their updates!
App that works for both Facebook and Messenger for Xperia
Hi Guys,
I've had the same problem recently with my Sony Z5 after it done the Nougat update (took until recently as didn't want to update it and disabled auto update). Its now July and apps still come up with 505 error messages, but I did find another App that works for both Facebook and the messenger within that Facebook. Its called "Lite for Facebook - Security Lock" (Not to be confused with Facebook Lite which wont work either) and is available on the Google App Store. Down side is it comes up with the odd small advert as you go between screens, but the upside is from there you can access the Facebook and messages within it and is more like the more user friendly Facebook and Messenger from a couple of years ago. Personally I prefer it to the normal Facebook app as doesn't keep telling me to "tell everyone about my day" and it is a far better option than doing a system reboot. I don't get new notification signals on my homescreen, only if I go in the app but that may be because I turn most of mine off anyway. Anyway its free to download and if you want access to both in one app it works and doesn't look like sony intend to fix it soon. Try and decide for yourselves, I have access again to people that use messenger and that's all I wanted (Myself I prefer whatsapp).

I found the solution. Just search for Facebook app manager on apkmirror by Samsung electronics and install the latest version. Now it will work.
Had the same problem for a while.
I resolved it by deleting all facebook related folders in :
Data/app
Data/data
system/app
system/priv-app
And then I could re-install Facebook and messenger
