Hi all,
Since yesterday, I can't sync Gmail, I cant actually download from the market (although I can initiate), and I cant open Google Talk (it opens for a split second then closes, no force quit or error messages at all). I have searched for a solution all morning. I have tried going to google and google storage in applications and clearing cache/data to no help. I even went back to a nandroid from 2 weeks ago, no help there either. The only thing I have done is accidently change my password online from a PC. I changed it back 5 minutes later to the original (which is the one the phone uses). I am using Fresh 2.0D. PS yes I wiped when I went back to an old nandroid backup...Yes my sync settings are correct....
Please help!!!
format c: its your only option now... Sorry mang...

So even though you changed the password back to the original, did you redo the password on the phone? It would be weird if even though they are the same "string" they were still different on a database level somewhere. Depending on how it's done, the password checking that is, it could be possible that old string != new string even though string = string.... you know what I mean?
I would try to redo the google setup from square 1. not sure how you go about that other than resetting the phone.
Well, I had gone back to the nandroid from 2 weeks prior. I also did a "factory reset" which runs you thru the whole google thing and makes you put your pwd again etc...so that was no go...
only thing i havent done (not that it should make a difference although I will try it in a bit) is to do a fresh 2.0d from scratch install, although i doubt this will do anything since the ohter 2 options didnt work..

Format C? Are you saying to wipe? Tried that no luck..
Well, a fresh install of fresh 2.0d did the trick so some file must have been corrupted I can only assume... Thank God for Titanium Backup restored all my backed up apps and not much time lost. Thanks for your help.

I tried what you recommended, and i fixed permissions using rom manager, and plus i restarted and i tried installing them again,
Same issue
is there a way to get all of the htc widgets in a package for HTC Thunderbolt so i can manually install them myself using a move command or something via file manager?
Weird, I know I had this issue and I just flashed a rom to fix it. Did you try using plain jane?
nope, Im going to just try and find the a HTC widget pack...
when i download the HTC widget i want, IT downloads, but right afterwards just won't install like it just fades away..
If anyone can give detail instructions how to install HTC widget pack manually using a "move command" or some way to install it Let me know
Usually Fixing Permissions solves this issue. Try google for an APK for the file you want to install, see if that works.

actually,fixing permissions started back in the day to fix issues with AOSP roms and is not really reccomended for sense roms. running it may be doing more harm than good.
id try wiping cache/dalvik cache and reflashing the rom your running. not doing a data wipe will preserve your settings and data. if that doesnt help,then id try a completely fresh install(wipe data/dalvik/cache)
and if youre using rom manager,try it in recovery instead. rom manager is problematic aND unreliable,IMO.
I posted a topic about this about a week ago after installing MR2. There is an issue with Google recognizing and updating your info that is in some way related to the 4G SIM.
I kid you not....this is how to fix it...... It has happened to me twice the last week as I got an AE.
1. Wait. No matter what I did, it seemed to never "Come back" until about 48 hrs.
2. Clear the Market cache and data
3. Stop the market service
4. Sing into and out of Google talk like you are on OCD.
Pissed the second day I had this happened, I was sitting at a bar listening to some girl go on and on about something so I started signing in and out of Google talk like 14 - 16 times....... Opened the market...no problem!
For "Must have apps, go to the online market place via your computer and push them to your phone. That always worked for me no matter what. Good luck!
I accidentally deleted my launcher application while messing around in Titanium backup. My phone was getting hung up on the Samsung boot screen when I tried to restart it. I have now tried a factory reset, and the phone now boots to a black screen, I can receive calls and texts but can't access anything manually. I tried installing from the web market but that is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated....I am desperate.
Edit: Also I can't mount my phone for some reason x_x

If you do a hard reset, you can restore the whole system. Deleting the launcher while booted in Android won't delete anything from the ROM and can be restored that way. But if you don't mind using a different launcher, you can load an apk of your desired launcher on the card and then find a way to get into any screen that will let you get to a file manager. Then you can install the launcher from the apk you loaded on the card. Mess around with the buttons and see if you can't pull up any screen that will eventually get to a file manager.

I did a hard reset, but now it has the same problem - no launcher. It is just a black screen. I played around with it for a long while before coming here trying to figure out any way to get into any menus etc...but nothing.
If you had your device in debugging mode, then you can always download an alternative launcher such as launcherpro on your computer, put it in your platform tools directory and install it through adb. If you need further help with this post your comments and I will read them later and reply.

P.s. if this helped press the thanks button
hard reset doesn't fix apps in system partition, so you can't restore without adb to push a new launcher.

Is the phone rooted?
Do you have a custom kernel with CWM recovery?
If you do, you should be able to install the launcher using cwm.
There's a specific forum for your phone in XDA. You might find answers there to.
Had same problem, now fixed
Although I have a g2x and I'm running a 2.3.4 rom, this should still work. I did the same exact thing to my phone. I had my wife send me an email (gmail) with a link to google in it. When I recieved the notification, I swiped down, opened email, clicked link, then searched "Go Launcher EX apk download". Once I found a good download for this launcher and downloaded it, I was good to use my phone again. Piece of cake

Hey i'm a noobie but i have a 100% way on how to fix your problem i was once too in that situation and all i did was enter recovery mode (no cwm/twrp) factory reset 2x, clear cache 2x and "Rebooted" When i was in setup wizard it asked me to set up my gmail account. Wifi is recommended but 3G/4G is also fine. If on wifi it will not connect to google servers but instead give you the option to connect to wifi. Connect to your wifi and finish the setup. When your at the black screen you should get a notification for updates on the play store. Tap on it and it SHOULD take you to the play store. After that search the desired launcher you want. (ADW Launcher, LauncherPro, Go Locker etc.
I keep getting:
The application ADW.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It keeps looping this over and over when I force close.... please help
First go to settings, then applications then manage applications find adw clear cache or data, then if that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall, and if that doesn't work I'd say do a clean install of rom, by the way which rom are u running?

I can't even get into settings at all....this happens when it unlocks and keeps looping so I can't even get to my homepage.
I tried to get into the market via voice search for android market, but when I try and launch the market, the market app crashes too!.
The phone is currently stock 100%, just carrier code unlocked..
Yup, mine started doing this when I change themes. How does one get in touch with developers?

You could have deleted adw via adb while in cwm or even while booted into the os.

If you were 100% stock then that means you had installed adw launcher from the market. Correct? If that's the case then you could also have just done a factory reset from within cwm and it should've cleared up any issues as it would've deleted any user-installed apps, including adw launcher.
Either way glad you found a solution.

Problem already solved but just for others visiting this thread, there is a way to get rid of the issue (which worked for me). when there was crash in ADW Launcher, statusbar still works. This is to key to get back to original theme (as you can't access settings directly to set default theme)
Opened status bar, start internet.
From another device (or desktop machine), send a mail to yourself with google play link for the new theme you just installed
Your status bar will now have new mail notification (assume its activated)
Now access your mail app and open the link from the mail
Now you have browser app opened with google play page
You will have uninsatll option for that theme. Just do it.
Now as new theme is uninstalled, your default theme will come in picture and everything will be normal.
I hope this will help others fall in similar situation after installing new theme.
Yesterday after downloading and installing a sweet customizable homescreen "SPBShell" and used it, it kept asking me to buy the application from market which i didn't want to. Earlier this morning, i disabled it's access to the internet and stopped market from accessing the internet and had to uninstall GoLauncher EX and my default homescreen so i wouldn't be asked to chose a default homescreen each time i press my home button. So finally the new Launcher got on my nerve and i uninstalled it without installing a new launcher and then i restarted my phone, now my phone can't get past the SAMSUNG screen.
Sorry for the long message but i seriously need help_____ THANKS IN ADVANCED
I would download an apk for a different launcher (like adw or launcher pro), boot into clockwork go under mounts and storage and mount USB storage. (Assuming you have adb set up) push that apk to the /data/app folder with adb. Reboot and see if that works. Otherwise I would wipe data/factory reset if that doesn't fix it.
Hope I helped

Thanks but i wished you read through the post before, i said i can't get into the phone since the screen stops at the SAMSUNG after vibrating. It doesn't get to the HomeScreen
Do you have clockworkmod recovery on your phone? You won't need to get to the homescreen if you have clockworkmod recovery.
No i don't. DO i need it?
Im guessing you had a pirated version of spbshell? All you have to do is restore a nandroid backup in your recovery.
Yes, if you want to get your phone back to normal with all your data. You could boot into normal recovery and do a factory reset, but all your data would be gone. What is your phone model?
So you rooted your phone, didn't get a custom recovery, didn't make a nandroid backup, dowloaded pirated apps (which could have very well been a virus), deleted the stock launcher, deleted go launcher, and deleted spbshell?
I don't even know if he's rooted his phone lol

You can't delete system apps if you are not rooted. And for his phone not to be working at all, the stock launcher had to be deleted as well. Unless he is using a ROM with golauncher as stock.
Ok guys am sorry for late reply, but my phone is back to normal.
Like i read people saying "Press up and down Volume button and boot into recovery", However, that didn't work for me. I got my phone back when it got to low batttery and showed my main screen before shutting down, so i had to keep the charger ready and when it showed the main screen again to shutdown, i plugged in the charger and since i had no homescreen but i have Advanced Task Killer running so i opened up my search and typed "My files" and reinstalled my default launcher and the phone is working now. I didn't know i have CWM in my system until right now as am trying to format my phone and it showed me the menu which i chosed what to do. Once again, Thanks for the reply and help
