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

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 ended up unistalling all launchers in my p500, now everytime i turn it on it gets stuck at the android logo screen, simply wont go any further
is there any way i can install an app from my computer or flashing it?
thx ahead
It is in boot loop because your phone has no launcher to boot into. Only way to install is via adb maybe or doing a fresh install of your ROM.

the only way i can access my phone is when i hard reset it then it boots once even with no launcher, but i cant go to configurations or anything
I do have recovery in this phone, is there any way i can flash a zip to install a launcher or something like that?
this is really starting to worry me
You are not telling us what ROM are you using. But since you have a custom recovery installed, I suppose it's not an official ROM. So, as a last resort, you can flash your ROM once again. You won't lose your apps, contacts, settings etc., but the default launcher of that ROM will be back on.
Also, for crying out loud, if you have a custom recovery, why don't you have a backup? It would have saved you a lot of trouble.

I have an official unbranded version from LG, v10a_02 if I recall correctly
when i try to flash the ROM from a zip file i get this message:
E: No signature (1 files)
E: Verification failed
the reason why i dont have a backup its because it was all a huge accident, i had launcher pro installed, then i wanted to try spb 3d out but it only worked as soon as i installed it, it kept coming back to launcher pro so i uninstalled launcher pro and thats the result

No info about which recovery you are using, no info about what ZIP you are trying to flash either... eh.
Anyway, what on earth are you doing here. Just adb push some launcher APK to /system/app from recovery.
Anyone kindly give him a flashable zip.
Or
When you boot up, press search button and type the name of file manager installed on your phone.
Your file manager should show up. Click it and go to SD card and install any launcher apk from there.
Play with search button. Look for file manager, settings, any other app by long pressing it and find your way to reach SD card.

thanks this was really helpful, i didnt know you could use adb from recovery mode

Good. Now, do not do it again!
Two more things for you to do:
1. Optional: edit the topic's name to begin with [SOLVED]
2. Mandatory: make a complete backup using the recovery

Actually I got this problem of no launcher on my galaxy mini, deleted samsung launcher and all other launcher also by mistake.
Search for "[GUIDE/DOWNLOAD] Install apk files quickly from computer to your device" thread on XDA, I follow that, installed GoLauncher using usb,
(I was stuck at Samsung logo, no notification bar, opened Kies, it automatically connected phone, still on samsung logo)
disconnected using kies, problem solved.
Hope this solution will help those who don't know about deeper android things. Thanks.
Hello!
This is my first post so please don't throw stones on me. I was interested if, for example I run CM7, how can I replace the built in Launcher? it has ADW but it's outdated, so I want to put in for example the latest version.
As I see, if I install launcher for example X on the phone, this will be installed over the built in one. You know what I mean, the bulit in is there running and my new launcher is there to... is it possibile to remove the original one and put a new one in?
I don't think it's possible because it's essentially the same as a stock launcher, you can't just remove it and have nothing there. This is what I believe to be true anyway.
As you know, you can run another launcher over the top, why don't you just do that? It doesn't cause any problems for you.

I don't want to do that because the RAM. This is the main reason... as I saw I got only 128 which is almost insufficient for running any other app on the phone...
You can try intalling a new launcher then uninstalling the system launcher.
Or you can install a new launcher as a system app. And uninstall system launcher.
Or install a new launcher as a user app and convert into system app and uninstall system launcher.

UPDATE
seems like I can't boot into CWM recovery with power + volume up + volume down
it says something like firmware upgrade failed... and dies... remove battery, put back and boot normaly... If I remain withouth a launcher and I won't be able to boot to CWM recovery to reinstall rom I'll softbrick my phone... :-S
Try using anttek app manager or titanium backup to freeze adw once you've installed a launcher you want. That will keep it out of memory, but it's easily undone.

Yap, you may want to try this, and since you're on CM7 I believe you have root acess.
So, install the launcher you want (it's not obligatory you use ADW)
Install Titanium Backup from the market.
Open TB and select 'Backup/Restore'
Scroll until you find the stock launcher (ADW in your case), select it and then choose Uninstall. You will have some warnings since it's a system app, no problem there.
After that just open the new launcher with the home button, it should do the trick
Cheers
I'll try this as soon as I got home...
But right now, how can I boot into recovery with clockworkmod?
I mean, from poweroff...
pressing those keys just boots into firmware upgrade...

In terminal emulator type "reboot recovery" without the quotes and hit enter. As long as you have busybox this should work.
Also, I said to freeze the app because it's easier to undo than if you uninstall it. Plus, you don't have to keep a backup on your SD.
Don't know about busybox. It said something about it while I rooted. Don't know if it's still there.
I'll try freezing it.
Still didn't figured out how to boot into recovery from power off.
Update:
Launcher frozen. Restarted. Everything works as expected. Maybe I'll uninstall it later.frozen with link2sd.
Same think can I do with android keyboard if I have another one?
UPDATE2:
If I don't have a launcher I can't even access terminal emulator. So, how to boot into CWM recovery from power off? Do I need to have USB cable in my phone connected to pc?

Can't help you on the recovery, sorry different device, I think it has a different way to boot :/
On the keyboard one, yes, you can do it to the keyboard also, but why deleting stock keyboard? It's good for having a backup when the custom fails.
But why do you lack a launcher? You should always have a launcher, of course without it you can't access anything.
You should first install the second launcher and then delete the first one, not the other way around :/

You install another launcher BEFORE freezing the stock launcher.
Read my original post in this thread and you'll see that's what I wrote.
You'll need adb at this point. Install it, install the driver for your phone, use adb to push a launcher apk to either /system/app or /data/app. Also, you can use adb to enter recovery by typing "adb reboot recovery" without the quotes.
it's just that I don't trust myself
I've installed another launcher already...
Now... can you be a bit more open for the ADB thing?
I'm at work, here I can't install usb debugging...
as I understand, with ADB I got something like a terminal or thing like that and I cand send command to the phone

Correct. Install adb (google is your friend). Find the usb driver for your phone and install it on your home computer. Connect your phone through usb. Open a command prompt and cd (change directory) to the adb folder. Type adb devices. If a device number is returned, you can go from there. There are tons of useful commands.
One thing... I have u8180. But about phone says u8160. Since rooted and cm7 it's recognized as u8160 even by Google play. Hm as I see there is a work around. U8180/u8160 shares the same hw. So if adb will recognize it as one of them it will be OK?

Issue: Frequent STOPPED WORKING with com.gappas.com, com.phone.com and the other basic applications!
What I did:
1. Rooted the phone;
2. Installed ZAEM Launcher;
3. Used SD Maid to remove stock applications including the default LAUNCHER!
Now: No dialer, no contact list and the phone is actually stuck at the blank screen now.
Device:
Manufacturer: Symphony
Model: W100
Android: ICS
I realize I messed up removing the stock launcher, I didn't know it would also remove the fundamental applications.
Tried several FACTORY RESET (POWER + VOLUME UP) aka RECOVERY, but nothing worked. It seems SD Maid removed the stock applications from the RECOVERY image as well.
Please help me out. Thanks in advance.
Send a private message to this guy.
UPDATE
WORKAROUND for people with similar case.
WARNING: SD Maid will remove applications from the recovery image too, use with caution;
Steps:
1. Give it a factory reset with RECOVERY option;
2. Root the device;
3. Complete the setup wizard as far it takes you;
4. Upon setup wizard crash and NO LAUNCHER stuck situation, access SETTINGS by pulling down the top STATUS BAR;
5. Allow application installation from UNKNOWN SOURCEs & USB DEBUG MODE;
6. Use ADB to install ZEAM LAUNCHER (you can use management applications like WonderShare MobileGo as well);
After a while, you will see the ZEAM LAUNCHER appearing as the default launcher, configure and make it your own. From now onwards, this is your system default launcher and keep missing the stock one
Note:
1. With every RECOVERY RESET, you will need to install ZEAM LAUNCHER this way
2. I used ZEAM LAUNCHER, I believe you can actually go with any launcher;

There is no "recovery image" unless you make one in cwm or so.
The system apps are on the system partition the only way to remove a system app (if you don't want to just freeze it), is to delete it from there.
Upon factory reset, the /data partition (and some others) get wiped and the apps in /system/app (like the launcher) get reinstalled.
You can put apps there yourself and they will survive a factory reset.

Yes it is working now with another launcher. I didn't know SD Maid would affect the recovery image and things will be lost forever! Is there a way to flash custom ROM on W100?

Yeah, that is where I wonder. After uninstalling the stock launcher with SD Maid, even a recovery didn't reinstall the launcher!

Hi,
Sorry, I was on the go waiting for bus and couldn't respond enough.
Yeah I applied the work around and the devices is fantastic now.
My mistake was that I couldn't realize SD Maid would remove the stock applications in a ways where they cannot be restored even with a RECOVERY! Bad, very very bad... lol
The device was stuck after turning on, where it would look for the launcher to manage the system interface, it was a partially HUNG situation, as there was no launcher to manage the interface and other basic operations. I used WonderShare MobileGo to install a 3rd party launcher, Zaem Launcher, and within 5 seconds, when the system had another try to initiate the default launcher, Zaem Launcher kicked in, ad it registered itself as a launcher and there were no stock launcher, so the system assumed it the launcher to start This was nice... very very nice.
But I know, if I give the device another RECOVERY, POWER + VOLUME UP, the same thing will happen again and I would have to follow the same workaround to make the device usable.
So far I can understand, the only thing that can bring the device to it's original state is a way to flash an intact ROM, preferably the stock ROM came with it. But the trouble is, this device has RECOVERY LOADER 3E which is well known no to be penetrated Please let me know if you have a way to replace this RECOVERY LOADER so other ROMs can be flashed on this device.
Thank you again Sir for your kind respons.
You are confusing something, SD Maid did not remove anything that can't be restored.
If you remove a system app, with any tool that can do that, a FACTORY RESET won't restore it.
You will either have to flash the ROM again, thus restoring the original content of /system/app, or copy the missing file over there again manually.

Dear Sir,
Yes you are correct and am sorry for my little knowledge in this. However, I wanted to mean what you said, check my earlier post, the only way seems to be flashing a ROM.
I said this because, I thought FACTORY RESET and RECOVERY are not the same thing. A factory reset is suppose to clean the user data only while a recovery should bring the device back to it's manufacturer state, by flashing the system with original set of OS and applications.
Although, in the recovery mode, it says FACTORY RESET, but it does more than that, I hope So I said I did recoveries, not factory resets. Still, I think you are correct, and you already know what I meant to describe.
Thank you again Sir for your time.
Hi .... But Sorry to say that W100 Still dosen't have any Custom ROM / Recovery ...
As you may already know MMX A90 and W100 is the Same ......
And Micromax Said They will release Jelly for A90 Soon and they will Also release There A90 Kernel Sources .......
So be sure to see some development for Your W100 in the near future ! :highfive:
And i sent many Emails to Symphony asking for the original files for W50/W100 and they diden't replay to me .....
But for Now you have to stick to what you have !

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think Google's stock JB ROM is worth a try but cannot find a way to flash it on W100 through RECOVERY MODE
Also do you think if copy all the contents from the /system partition of another W100 to mine, my W100 will come back to the stock apps situation as it were?
Yes it will work! But just take the files you only need ™

So I accidentally deleted my TWLauncher without replacing it. I turned off my phone and turned it back on to see if it went through the booting system. But the booting system animation stopped right at the "Samsung" title leaving me unable to access the contents of my Galaxy S 4G. Is this a brick? How can you help me fix this problem? Thanks
Re-install the Rom

You can flash a launcher. If on ICS, you can flash TWRP which has a flile explorer you can copy over a launcher with. You can copy one over with ADB.

How can I re-install the Rom without accessing anything on my phone? My phone's only accessible through system recovery.

How can I flash a launcher or TWRP through ADB? How can I access the ADB? Can I do this on download mode?

By you giving a lot more info
You flash TWRP via CWM - TWRP is an alternative to CWM and is touch based. Put a launcher on your SD card, reboot into TWRP same as you would CWM, go into the file explorer, copy the launcher apk and paste it in your system/apps directory.

oh sorry. well uh cant access anything but download mode and system recovery. and i dont have CWM recovery and i have a stock rom. i just need to get a new launcher. how can i do that without accessing anything on my phone?
You can turn you phone on. Let it boot and leave it... even if seeing force close prompts. And try going on your computer and logging in the Playstore and install a third party launcher from your computer.
I'd leave to phone sitting for a bit to give it time to try and install.
Background: I deleted my only launcher once but was still able to access some apps. Example - long pressing search soft key with Super Manager installed - it would prompt to choose Volume Controls or Super Manager. Or long pressing the home soft key pops up recent apps.
Your phone should still be working, it just does not have a GUI interface or desktop for you to see.
Give it a shot.

Or you can flash one of bhundven's Kernel One-Clicks, then flash a launcher or TWRP.

thanks for your suggestions. yes i have tried installing launchers but for some reason (i waited 10 minutes for this) it doesnt go to my phone. i remember freezing the launcher maybe deleted it but when i long press any buttons or the screen nothing neccessarily happens. also im afraid i dont know what super manager is. maybe you have a signed launcher app? i dont have cwm, adb, or anything else. so maybe a signed launcher so that i can flash it?
If you don't have cwm, how are you going to flash?
All stock apps are stickied in the themes ands apps section.
Load a one click on to computer and reflash Rom?
Load the android sdk tools onto your computer and "adb push" it into place?

I am starting to think you aren't reading what I am saying.
AntonX Kernel One-Click Download
If you want to keep your ROM and data intact, go to the link above and download [AntonX: Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1.0]. Use the guide in the second link in my signature to flash it. That WILL GIVE YOU CWM without changing your ROM.
If you are on GB - download the attached zip and flash it in CWM.
I am now bowing out of helping further in this thread. Good luck!
