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 I installed a custom ROM that had an outdated version of launcher pro.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

Hi there guys,
i have a big problem with my OPO.
First, i explain what i did: I'm using my OPO also in my car, so i set up a home launcher that's "car friendly" (big buttons, big clock, car logo, and so on). To activate this Launcher i use Tasker with root permissions. There's a Tasker-Task-Shortcut on my normal Homescreen, and when i press it, some things are switched off/on (for example GPS is switched on and the brightness is set to high). Also i switch the two Launcher (Default and Nova Launcher) by setting the Package State of the Default one to disabled and the Nova Launcher to enabled. If i want to go back to normal mode i press the Tasker-Task-Shortcut on Nova-Launcher which reverts all settings, including chaning the package states of the launchers again. This worked for years now, but today i activated the car mode and Tasker asked for root permissions. I thought SuperSu made an Update so i need to accept it again, so i gave Tasker root access. After that the Default Launcher was disabled, but the Nova-Launcher wasn't enabled. Then there was an empty screen, i only saw the top Notification Bar and the Soft Buttons (It was possible to use both), but no Launcher was loaded. So i restartet my OPO and now i'm stuck in a Bootloop...
Can someone help me please?? I think a factory reset will fix this, but i dont want to lose all of my apps and settings! What can i do? Is it possible to change the package state trough Fastboot, or through TWRP? Fastboot and the Stock Recovery is working fine, only if i want to start my OPO normally i get a bootloop... Maybe it's possible to install another Launcher via TWRP?
Please help me!!
Greetings,
infernalshade
Install another launcher via desktop play store then when click home button it ask for new launcher
You mean i going to play.google.com, search for another Launcher, press install, and select my OPO? If yes, that wont work, because i cant start my OPO (stuck in boot). So the OPO Play Store cant install that launcher. The only way i can think of is to install an alternate launcher through recovery.
EDIT:
Update, i used TWRP to clear the cache and dalvik_cache and now my phone is starting. Then after the "Configuring Apps" screen it's now stuck on "Starting Apps...".
Phew... fixed it myself... to anyone with the same Problem, here's what i did:
Search for a flashable zip of an alternate Home Launcher, for exmaple "APEX Launcher". Then go to fastboot mode and startup TWRP (i used OPO Toolkit). In TWRP, activate MTP and push the flashable zip to your phone. Then install it trough TWRP and clear cache and dalvik. After that restart your phone and the new Launcher should start. From now on you can switch to your default Launcher again.
Greetings
I guys, due to the impossibility to use gesture and keyboard normally both in 9.0.2 and ob6, i find a solution to solve this problem.
Which is the problem:
in OOS 9.0.2 or open beta 6, the new gesture system has some problems that really affect the user experience. The gesture system is managed by the stock launcher (oneplus launcher), and if you don't use this laucher but onother one (nova for example) you encounter a lot of problems such as:
-if you lock and unlock your phone, after unlock the app that you are using is in background and you are brought to home screen.
-if you try to write in some applications (telegram and whatsapp first), after some time and after an unlock of the screen, after some taping on the screen the keybord will close and appear a buggy interface of the recents page.
Requirements:
-root privileges
-An app that can unistall the system apps, and change theyr propriety (for example titanium backup Pro)
As always, i'm not responsable for any damage on your phone or data loss, take a nandroid backup first.
1) Switch from the system settings from gesture to navbar
2) Unistall as system app oneplus launcher. Is important that you unistal and not freeze; to do this you need root privileges
3) Reboot
4) download a version of oneplus launcher without the buggy interface. for example this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/onepl...auncher-2-3-0-2-180928222207-6ee6566-release/
5) install it
6) with a root application convert oneplus launcher from user app to system app.
7) reboot
8) switch back from navbar to gesture
Now you have the old gesture system and no bug. :good:
EDIT of 9th November 2018:
Oneplus finally solves the bugs.
To solve the problems you just need to update (manually or from play store) the original launcher (OnePlus Launcher) to the latest version.
is it required to reinstall the OnePlus Launcher? Can't we just delete the buggy one and leave it like that?

What works for me is removing the stock OP launcher then the home and recents gestures don't work. Install OnePlus Launcher from the Play Store then reboot. After rebooting uninstall the OnePlus Launcher that you just installed from the Play Store. Then reboot again and the gestures will start working like they should. I did this on OB6 and 9.0.2 Stable pie and can confirm it works for me. I use Nova Launcher.
Ok thanks
Thanks for the solution

I tried deleting the OP launcher using titanium backup but it doesn't work. Also tried to delete the folder from /priv-app/ using TWRP but it came out with an error. Is there anyway I can uninstall the launcher?
My phone is rooted here.

You may want to try Uninstaller app from play store if you are rooted.
Already tried this and when i reboot to uninstall magisk the original version of OnePlus Launcher is back... Anyone with the same problem...?

By using lower version launcher, do we loose something? Personally im kot using stock launcher, using nova. But if the bug related to the launcher if we wull change it I think something will be missing. Gestures are working? New animations?

If you read the first post you will find I'll the answers to your questions.
You don't need root for any of this. Install an old version of OnePlus launcher over current version and you get old gesture animations back and old recents.

Except it doesn't. You can't install older version on top of the newer version. You can't disable it hoping to uninstall the updates because the new version comes with the OS update itself, not via play store.

It didn't uninstall it the first time but reboot go to this uninstaller app again and uninstall again for me it took twice, restart but if you install the playstore one that's orio and will give you orio style recents , I installed the launcher from the apk mirror link in op, hope this helps, and every time you install or uninstall do a reboot, cheers

So mate, nothing is written ir your first post about what I've asked.
I tried this method. It helps those bugs are gone. But.... Older version of launcher removes new gestures swipe right for previous app, and design of recent tabs a bit changed in the latest launcher tabs were bigger. But its not a big deal, when annoying bugs are gone. Thanks
This worked for me. **** yehhh!
Thanks!
