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 I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro.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?

Follow these steps to get your new awesome voice search.

............... 4. Hit your search button, and type voice into the filter.
.................... 5. Uninstall and delete the voice search app.
.................... 6. Reboot.
......................... 7. Now go into market and install new voice search app.
Worked for me!
Did not work for me. I'm having the same problem. I deleted the original app. Now I have none!
What is the problem with this new one? Why won't it install?
EDIT: This will surely be what finally pushes me over the edge, and drives me past the brink of madness.

[Rom Add-On] Clean & Stable Add-On For All Stock Firmware V4[21/07/11][New Market]

[Rom Add-On] Clean & Stable Add-On For All Stock Firmware V4[21/07/11][New Market]
Please Do Not post this elsewhere​
This will not work on newbie5 modded stock rom
Hi All.
I have made this rom add-on to try to keep the device as clean and stable as possible. I could add custom boot screens, launcher (like launcher pro) and much more, but I have only added the essentials. As i think everyone has different tastes and the extras are easily installed. I have chosen to use the software tool which is part of the stock firmware, this insures easy installation on any os. No usb recovery drivers or clockwork mod needed!
V4 Rom Add-On includes:
Market (New)
Google Talk
SuperUser
3D Gallery
Google Calendar
Visionary
YouTube App
(removed titanium backup due to size restraint, can be installed through market)
V4 can be installed over the top of V3, titanium backup will remain
V3 Rom Add-On includes:
Market (Old)[Full]
SuperUser
3D Gallery
Google Calendar
Visionary
Titanium BackUp
YouTube App
If you cannot sync contacts or calendar. Please use this fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12385012&postcount=131
I have updated the rom add-on now so if you use the version with -1 at the end, it contains the fix.
Optional .ZIP's
Small Taskbar (For Advent v1.09 and v1.10 firmware only)
Gmail
Contacts
Google Maps can be downloaded from the market
I highly recommend launcher pro, its available from the market. It is a lot better than the stock launcher, and the payed for version has some great widgets.
Button savior, also available from the market. Is also for me a must for the vega, it adds the missing buttons as on-screen buttons.
This V3 update is more of a clean up. There was a lot of confusion over the multiple .rar parts and some compatibility issues with v1.10 POV firmware. I have now removed the small taskbar and added it as a update, so now my rom add-on is fully compatible with the pov firmwares and does not require multiple .rars. Advent firmware users who want the small taskbar, simply flash the Small_Taskbar.zip. If you have already installed my v2 version there is no need to update, as i said its more of a clean up. There are a few added apps, but they are easily installed.
Install Instructions:
1 - Download the .zip you wish to flash. Copy the .zip to "software update" on your SDcard.
2 - Navigate to settings/software tool/software update on vega, and touch the .zip
3 - Device will reboot and a "out of a box" android will appear and install the parts.
You will not lose any of your apps/data from this process.
Please make sure you have sufficient power to apply Add-On, i would recommend 50%
Root Instructions:
Root is required for some apps. Eg Button savior requires this for it to function fully.
1 - Open visionary
2 - Touch "Temproot now" the screen will go blank for a few seconds and return to the visionary page. Then click it again. (i have no idea why it is required to do this twice, but in my experience it is necessary)
3 - Touch "Attempt Permroot now" After a few seconds a super user prompt will appear, allow the prompt. Then device will reboot and it should be rooted.
If Flash does not work, navigate to /etc/shuttle_data and run the flash.apk. That will reinstall the included flash version.
If all apps are not showing in the market please follow ice-mn tip. Many thanks to him for this.
ice-mn said:
Since there are several post discussing this I have opened this thread instead answering the same on all of them.
To get all apps (at least all I have looked for ) you only have to follow the steps described.
1. Go to Manage Applications (in settings/applications)
2. Press the running tab and select market (if market is not running execute it)
3. Select Market from running apps. And:
Press Clear Cache
Press Force Stop
4. Go back and Select Google Services Framework. And:
Press Clear Data (answer ok on the message warning)
Press Force Stop
5. Try to run Market. You will get an error message.
6. Reboot the device and run market twice (the first one you will get the error message again).

Welcome to xda dev. I see this is your first post
Glad you find it useful. i hope to update it soon with a complete package (Flash etc), i just need some where to host it.

Hi All.
I have been playing with the market enabler (thanks to demonknight9). I have added the small taskbar framework to the update. so now you can have the market and small taskbar on a stock v1.08 vega. More gmail apps can be downloaded from the market. As demonknight9 says its very easy to install. No need for CWM.
1 - Download market_update0.zip file and put on storage card.
2 - Navigate to settings/software tool/software update, and navigate to location of market_update0.zip.
3 - Run the market_update0.zip
4 - Device will reboot and install the parts.
You will not lose any of your apps/data from this process.
It looks like flashing things to are vegas is easy, can be done from the software update. The zip is unsigned. More things can be added but i thought i would keep it simple to start with.
Hope its useful
I have made one with flash,spare parts and superuser as well, but it is larger than i can upload to xda dev. if anybody has somewhere i can upload i would be gratefull.
EDIT:I have added the flash.apk to enable flash, visionary to fully root the device and spare parts to disable compatibility mode for games to the attachments.

Good idea to add the bits. Why don't you upload it to fileape? Easy peasy to open an account. Just chose a username and a pass, no email, no confirmation just a plane doddle. go here; www.fileape.com
Upload it to mediafire, you dont even need to register an account to use it
How long does the market updater take, my vega been hanging for about 10 minutes, is this normal?

Which part is it hanging on, once run the device should reboot, then a picture of a box with a arrow appears, and the progress bar bellow turns orange. I have flashed this and different versions with no problems.

Thats very odd. I have re-flashed 4 different versions in the last 10 mins with no problems. Try to hold the power button down for six seconds to totally shut down. Plug the device into the power. Then try a reboot. If that does not work then you are going to have to go into recovery and re-flash the stock rom. Sounds like the flash got interrupted for some reason.

Many thanks, I re-installed the stock rom after putting it into recovery. I tried the market updater again and it worked no problem. Thinking about it now I was on low battery so that why it might not have worked 1st time round..

Is there any way to revert back to large notification bar? It does look good but It's a little too small for me.

[Q] Accidentally deleted Stage UI. Help needed pls

hii friends. I accidentally deleted stage UI. So now when i made hard reset I'm not having any launcher at all. Please help me out in restoring the stage UI.
Thanks in adv
since you didnt include any information about your phone, Rom, status here is hard to help you but any of these should work out
1)Go to the market website https://market.android.com/ choose a launcher and click install. enjoy
2)i dont know how far a phone boots without a launcher but you can try to press and hold the home button once booted and see if you see apps like market(to install a launcher) or settings (to navigate to your list of instaled apps)
3)if your phone (whichever it is) has a search button - press it and search for market. start market. then install a launcher app
4)if you have chrome to phone installed try pushing yourself a market link to a launcher and install it
5)send yourself an email containing a market link to a launcher and install it
6)try to adb push stageUI APK or any other launcher APK to your phone. reboot.
7)flash the same rom again. if you use the same rom you have installed you probably wont even have to wipe
if any of these helps you please tell me / press the thanks button so i know it worked out

[Q] Need help removing LauncherPro.

I'm running Humble v1.33 and cannot for the life of my remove LauncherPro. I'm wanting to remove it because it's stuck on my phone and I cannot update the app in the Market.
1. I've tried through the Market, where it does not give me the choice to uninstall.
2. I've tried through AppBrain. I go to Uninstall which does bring up the uninstall process on my phone, but when I click OK to uninstall the app, it says Uninstall not successful.
3. I've tried through Root Uninstaller. I select LauncherPro (located in sys btw) from the list and select Uninstall, and I get ".apk file not found" pop up.
4. I've tried through Manage applications. LauncherPro is not listed in the "Third-party" category, but is listed in the "All", where I can only click "Clear data" while everything else is greyed out.
Not sure if this is a ROM issue or what, so I thought I would start here. What are other options? I'm stumped.

Here are the steps needed to remove it:
1. Install another launcher such as ADW
2. Use root explorer and navigate to system/app
3. Mount system as r/w and delete the launcherpro apk
4. reboot the system
5. install launcherpro from the market
6. Uninstall adw or whatever launcher you temporarily put on there.
Forgot to try Titanium, which actually removed it. I've never mount the system before though...

Go to settings> applications> manage applications > all > launcherpro
and select clear defaults
when you click home button it will ask you do you want to use launcherpro or whatever other launcher is on there. If you followed the first post then you've already changed it. If not this way will allow you to set a new launcher. Now you can clear cache for launcherpro and uninstall.

[Q] LauncherPro Plus...

Hi, I have installed version 2.2.9 FroyoBread and the truth is that I love.
My problem is I want to install a version of Launcher Pro Plus is different from that including the ROM and will not let me ... the message I get is "the application is not installed"
I tried to uninstall the current version but will not let me uninstall it ...
Thanks
First change your default home launcher by clearing at the Clear default in the Launcher Pro app at settings->Applications->Manage App->Lancher Pro and uninstall then reboot your phone and try to install. If I helped you then Press Thanks to me Plz.
And how do I set the default launcher? Version 2.2.9 is FroyoBread ...
I suggest you to install titanium back pro and wipe data & uninstall the stock Launcher Pro in your rom then reboot and try to install your version of launcher pro.
And to set the default launcher you have to press home button then you will get the options to select home launcher.
I have a installed xrecobery and ClockworkMod ... one of these helps me to choose the default launcher I? that option is?
Follow these steps to change default launcher and install your version of launcher pro.
1.Go to Settings->App->Manage App->select Launcher Pro in the third Tab
2. Press Clear defaults button, forced to stop and uninstall
3. Press home button and you will be asked to select default launchers
4. reboot and install your version of launcher pro
Hope it helped you.
1.Go to Settings-> App-> Manage App-> select in the third Launcher Pro Tab
2. Press Clear button defaults, forced to stop ...
up there, so good, but then I enabled the Uninstall button
Then uninstall the launcher pro using that Uninstall button and press home button in ur mobile, you will be asked to select home launcher. Now select any one of other launcher in your mobile and reboot your phone. After reboot install your version of launcher pro.
you gotta be careful though. ive read that if you uninstall the only launcher, ur going to run into some problems (ie u will get a black screen when u boot up your phone)
