ok well yesterday I installed launcher pro. to try it out and I froze the stock launcher. last night I shut it off to charge and when I tried to power it on I was stuck on the G2x splash screen. so I tried vol down + power to restore it and now I can start the phone and get into the lock screen but when I unlock it. it won't load the launcher did I destroy my phone?
ok, I got it back. After I got a text I clicked attach then I could open astro from there I installed launcher apk I had on my sd card
lol

I had something similar happen. Go to setting/applications/launcher and clear the "launch by default" field on all the launchers. It will bring back all the choices.

So I was trying to edit my home screens, delteting them to start from scratch. The process was laggy. Then I got a Force Close screen
Sorry!
The application ADW.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Dumpstate_app_201008261031_android_process_acore.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I hit Force Close --- and the Force Close Screen comes on again
and again
and again
Turn the phone off and on, FC screens again
reboot in safe mode FC again
How do I get my phone back?
I just tried to reboot again and now I have the yellow robot sweeping "Downloading" screen.
I really did nothing strange. Did ADW.launcher just brick my phone?
Basically, I can't do anything. I tried deleting cach. Deleting user data. Nothing on the recovery screen changed anything.
The phone boots up and gets to the locked screen, but as soon as I swipe to unlock the endless loop of ADW.launcher force close screens begins.
Kill ADW.launcher!
Nothing? Oh well.
Odin3 One Click Stock Rom. Should get you all back to usable. Personally I haven't had ANY issues with the ADW.Launcher and I've done all sorts of weird things on my phone. I didn't like LauncherPro.

Thank you so much for the response. I've seen the posts about Odin before, but I didn't know what it was, or else I would have went right there. It seems to have worked, getting back to the stock set-up. Thanks!
Definitely not going to reinstall ADW. I liked it but it just went berzerk on me.
Hello, This is my first post. I have the vanilla GTAB with the 2 updates that were automatically loaded last Dec. & Jan. I frequently get force closes. Today when I booted the gtab, I had it connected to my pc, but I clicked 'hide' at the activate usb prompt. Then the usual force close occured in Launcher pro. At the same tiime there was a prompt that said something like "which app to use for this action" 1) desktop or 2) launcher pro. Since I thought I already set this to Launcher pro, I selected Launcher pro, and (this is the important part, I think) I checked the box to make this the default action. I had done this before so I didn't give much thought to it.
Well, the device immediatel began looping between to 'force closes' that look similar: 1) The application LancherPro (process android.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Pleas try again; and then the second half of the loop is 2) The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Note that in #2 it doesn't refer to LauncherPro.
I rebooted the ddevice and it immediately goes into the same loop.
Is there any way out of this? I can't help thinking it is caused by making the failing app (Lpro) the default action. How do I get the prompt back? Or have I bricked this gtab?
I was able to activate usb support between loops, so I have backed up all my data to my pc (whew!), but I can't get the device to do anything on it's own, other than loop. I do not have a recovery file or any of the suggested clock??? utilies. This is a completely vanilla device. Therefore booting with recovery (power + vol +) just comes up and enters the same loop.
Sorry if this is long winded, but I want to hear any advice before I follow Viewsonic cust support's instructions to ship it to them for a hardware reset. TIA, -Jim
Try Fix Permission in the Recovery. I face this problem every now and then and could not find a better permanent solution . Its really painful at times. It usually happens when my Gtab awakes from a long sleep (like remaining in standby for overnight).
I just experienced the same problem the other day. It is my third time with all the loops and force close and android.process.etc.etc. Unfortunately the GTab with the stock OS has this troublesome issue. I followed the instructions to install clockworkmod (CM) restore to stock with the 3389 mods, and now when it happens I boot into CM and first try and clear the cash and if that dosen't fix the problem then I do the wipe data/ factory reset option which is a pain, but if you have backed up everything you are back up and running with everything restored in less than 15 minutes. Do a quick search and you will find the CM solution to get your tablet back.
Hope this helps! I think everyone who has this device has gone through it. I guess for the price what can you expect, $799 for a XOOM without flash or $350 for the Gtab with flash and some issues. There is always a trade off.
Thanks VERY MUCH for the replies. So minardml, it seems you have done the factory reset yourself. Is there instructions for this online? You took the back off the unit to do it? I will search for the CM solution. Also, kshwetabh, you are right it had been several days since I used the gtab. Could you explain how to "try fix permission in the recovery?"

@newbieJim, before wiping cache or factory resetting try Fixing permission option. It always works for me.
1. Reboot system into Recovery (Shutdown. Press and hold Volume Up(+) button and press Power button.
2. Select "advanced" ( scroll the options using Volume up/down button). Press Home button when on "advanced" option
3. Select "Fix Permissions".
This will take a while (depending on the packages/apps installed). Note that you will not see any progress bar. Once complete simply reboot.
Hope this helps . I don't know how the system looses permissions but somehow it does.

Sorry if I led you to think that I took the back off as I did not do that. The options that I was refering to are in the menu of clockworkmod. If you haven't found the fix I was talking about (installing CM) post again and when I get home later today I will see if I can find it. I think I may have bookmarked it on my laptop.
I just keep the home button prompt on. it seems to prevent 90% of FCs and also improved the screen lag i was getting.
it may be another step, but it's less of a pain the the ass in the end.
Once again thx to all. I will attemp recovery again, but I don't have high hopes because, as I said, the loop happens even in recovery (or safe) mode. IOW, I cannot get to any menu or screen.... Only the loop. I do not think I can install any new app., but I will try tomorrow when I return.
Hi there. I'm very new to the whole Android thing, but I love it. I have an ATT Inspire 4G. Here's my problem, and I know its picky, but its annoying. After I use the messing service and I hit the back arrow, my phone just gets stuck on a white blank screen. It will not change unless I hit the home key. I had been using the GO Launcher EX home replacement app. I never had the problem until I downloaded Ultimate Faves Pro and started using it. I deleted the app thinking that was the problem, but I'm still having it. I deleted most of my apps and all home replacements. It is still doing it. It looks as if something is trying to load before it goes into my messaging app. Please help! I'm not sure if it was the Ultimate Faves Pro or a notification app.
Try the Full Factory Reload....
You can erase all DATA by going to MENU>SETTINGS>SD&PHONE STOARGE>FACTORY DATA RESET
This will return the phone to its "Out-of-the-BOX" condition when new.
hey guys, i hope you all doing fine.
i must admit that i really [email protected]#ed up this time. I was messing around with the software "rom toolbox" and i tried to freeze all of the system apps. after the progress bar reached 100% percent the phone started to constantly pop-up a message box which says that the "Dialer" app is crashed. after i click "force close" on that, it pops up again with the same message. between the pop-ups theres like half a second time which i can access the rom toolbox program so i tried and defroze the dialer application. now the pop-up is gone. after that i tried to enable the "Home" app to be able to access the home screen. But it somehow didn't response and i was forced to shut down the phone by pressing and holding down the power button. Now when i turn on the phone, first the LG logo then the LG animation come on screen but after like 10 seconds nothing happens the LG logo stays on screen and then again the LG animation.
I have clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.0 installed and be able to boot into it but it doesn't have an option to defreeze apps. i don't have any nandroid backups and i don't want to hard reset either.
What can i do?
Install again some rom
Hey Guys, I'd Like to ask a question , very weird going on about my device... Only one time I got that Lovely Icon (exclamation mark) with a phone sign followed by a computer, yes that means that i am in download mode, i fixed it but once i got passed that small error my phone has been acting up.. I've tried CM10 keeps restarting by itself once in a while, I had tried going COMPLETELY going to stuck by using a Youtube video on how to unbrick it... NO luck. This time it freezes up and all applications become unresponsive, Facebook FORCECLOSE and other apps& and restarts, once is in the home screen i hold the power button and i only get one option "POWER OFF" its very weird because I remeber there was "DATA IS SET "ON" ETC, other settings in the phone had been re-enabled for ex. haptic feedback vibration. i had that turned off and it came back on by itself, second setting is the lock screen i cant set up a lock setting because once i press the unlock button and wait about 5 seconds it would go directly to the home screen W/O asking to enter to any patter. I tried gingerbread 2.3.6, with this rom all apps are UNAVAILABLE.. YES they dont open up.. EVEN facebok.. I took out the battery, turned it back on, and once it gets to the "rethink possible" keeps restarting the att motion until it finally restarts the whole phone and it keeps doing this.. I wanted to ask you guys if my phone is bricked or something because is really annoying. Thanks !
A brick would be where you wouldn't be able to boot up. A virus would be wiped out when flashing a new rom. When installing a new rom, did you also format /system? Sometimes that irons out some bugs. Maybe doing a wipe on your dalvik and cache seperatly could help.
