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 I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro.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

[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

[MK16i]SE Xperia Pro Ultima v1.1; Google Play crashes

Hello, I have a problem with running Google Play after flashing the phone with Xperia Pro Ultima v1.1 kernel and rom. The application turns on, I have logged in fine, I can see the main menu and browse, but when I try to open a game menu it crashes and it shows a message that I have to force kill (com.android.vending process).
I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i
Does anybody know how might I solve this? Thank you in advance
This is a known issue due to a wrong NFC file included (mk16i doesn't use NFC) in android
you need to remove a file by adb or with a root explorer.
the file is:
/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.nfc.xml
reboot, and everything should be just find !

Can your wizardry help with that problem?

Can't manually install app, bug??

So, yesterday I tried to install the apk of L camera, with no success. I got stuck in the first menu, when you need to press "install". I start to think that the problem was with the app and not with the android. But today I tried to install de google play services and I had the same problem.
Stock Android L without root.
I'm the only one?
...and the error is?
Not all apks are installable by the way. Some need to be put in /system

thanks, I click on Install and nothing happens.
I have tried with L camera, google play service and swiftkey.
Its a security feature when you're using an app that places an overlay on your screen.
Not sure what app it is though. Most common are screen dimmers

Xperia XZ Package Installer problem

I have the following problem: when installing an APK, the Package Installer is stuck on the access list (which doesn't appear) and only the 'next' button appears, no 'install' button. Clicking 'next' does nothing, but the click registers. I'm on a stock XZ with Android 7.1.1, no display dimmers or other overlay apps. I have cleared the cache of the Package Installer, rebooted again and again to no avail. I'm really at the my wits' end. Thanks in advance!

What are you trying to install?
It doesn't matter what APK I try to install, none work. Except for fonts. No app or widget will install. Even those which worked a couple of days ago...
Do apps from the play store install correctly?
I have same problem with an alcatel phone that i change many things. The only solution that i found was install the Gapps from restore.
