Hey.. In my Samsung Galaxy GT-i9003 mobile phone i can't go my idle screen or to my home page. Whenever i press my home key a notification is always coming by saying "Sorry. The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twLauncher) has stopped unexpectedly.please try again." Downbelow of this notification there is button to click "force close". Even if i press that the notification is keep on coming. I removed the battery and tried but still the same. My mobile is working fine but the thing is i can't open my main menu page.because of that i can't use any application. Do i need to format my mobile? If then please tell me how to do that.. Thanks.
download a new launcher from the market such as launcher pro or download a launcher to your pc and copy it to your sdcard and install it

Thanks
You must uninstall and re-install launcher pro.

You don't have to reinstall launcher pro. You can download an app called Home Switcher from the market. Its free

yes i have home switcher and it does not fix this problem. still everytime i press home (bottom row below the samsung). I should also note this is a froyo phone.
I have a question regarding LauncherPro also. To be safe, should I disable it, or uninstall it, before updating to JF7? I just got my new phone few days ago and still on JF6..
I switched mine to twlauncher just to be sure.
corrected by starting phone in recovery starting with vol buttons pressed and then deleted user data. had to set up phone again but oh well
technut963,
If this happens to you again, in Froyo all you have to do is click settings, applications, manage applications, on the top bar click All, then go down and click TwLauncher, then clear default. Then hit the home button and you should be asked what one you want to use and set it as default again.
I simply setup a shortcut that links to Activities -> TwLauncher and one for LauncherPro on the phone. As for adjusting the default see above.

Hi,
I newly installed ADWLauncher, got a theme and was customizing it.
Then when I changed a folder name, it crashed (The application ADWLauncher EX (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly).
It crashes as soon as it is launched. Worse, because it is set as default launcher, it restarts when I "Force close" it and crashes again.
There is nothing I can do but to press the Force close button.
Can't do anything from computer because I can't turn on the USB debugging mode...
Any help?

Hmm.. You can try a factory reset, but that'll make you loose al your data on internal memory.
Which version?

He can't go to settings because the launcher is crashing. Press the search button, and search for market, and launch it from the search. Then download another launcher and then when pressing the home button it asks again which launcher to set as default.
If you don't have search button, you can try long pressing the home button, and going to last used apps. If there's either settings or market you can download another launcher, or delete adw from settings.
Hmmm, I think you can start the phone in safe mode, turn it off, hold the menu button while turning back on. Then go to setting, manage application, adw, and clear default.
Or you might have to take off the battery to completely shut it off if you have Fast boot mode on. Reboot like usual to exit safe mode.

it works!!! thanks!!!
I have the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 and I downloaded the Clean Master and then there was an app called CM AppLock which is some kind of security. I was having problems & so I uninstalled the CM AppLock or so I thought I did but I am now not able to get into anything but 1 out of 4 app pages, my wifi has turned off, I am on airplane mode and can't change it because I cannot get to my 2nd page of app where my Tools icon is and I can't draw the pattern on the CM AppLock (which I uninstalled) because the pattern I picked is not working. I can't do the "forgot Password" at the top of the app because it requires wifi. My phone keeps talking to me at every time I touch it with dates and times and all kinds of numbers...can't get anything to work. Please help me!
1-You can turn off airplane mode by holding power button and select "disable airplane mode" in the upcomming screen. Also you can go to settings when you pull down the status bar twice, there will on the top settings icon appear.
2-Have you rebooted the phone?
3-install CM applock app again, then disable all locks and the uninstall the app.

Thank you for your reply. I will try your suggestions.
Hello,
I'm having an issue where I'm stuck in 'Ultra Power Saving Mode'.
I was using the google launcher, not touch wiz. I entered UPSM and pressed the home buttom, at which point it asked me what default launcher to use. I selected google and now I only have access to limited apps. It's not the usual UPSM launcher.
When i go into settings only a few options are available (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) but nothing to allow me to exit Ultra Power Saving Mode.
I've tried flashing firmware via Odin (latest 6.01) but I'm still stuck in UPSM.
Does anyone know of a way out without without having to factory erase?
Thanks
Resolved?
Hello - Have you sorted this problem out yet or has anyone responded to you on any other forum maybe?

Only solution I found was to wipe my phone
This worked for me: using package disabler pro, I uninstalled Google Now Launcher. After closing the app, I got back to the usual UPSM screen and was able to disable it.
Another way to get around this is to side load any other launcher and to choose samsung launcher when you open the new launcher.
Go into settings switch default launcher.
Go to the menu and find google app hold that app and move to the top of the screen and put that in the app info and tap Force stop now press the home button now it will again ask for the default launcher and now select touch wiz. That's it now you phone back to normal.
So I have an Android Head Unit for my car and it has 5.1.1 on it. I rooted it with KingRoot and disabled Launcher after installing Apex Launcher.
The issue I have is that no matter what I do I can't add any widgets! I hold the screen select widgets and select any widget then i drag it to an empty screen and it pops up telling me that by adding this widget Apex will have access to its content or something like that. There is a checkbox and I select it and hit ok but nothing happens. I try and don't select the checbox and nothing happens. Even tried to use Nova and Arrow Launcher but exactly the same issue there too. I even moved these from data to system but still nothing.
Please somebody help me out I am pulling my hair out with this one. Just can't figure it out.
