[Q] Missing launcher after factory reset of rooted device - Help needed - General Questions and Answers

I rooted my Lenovo A390 using Superuser + TItanium Backup and then uninstalled default Lenovo Launcher(and some other stock apps which were of no use) after installing Nova Launcher.
Since few days many apps were repeatedly getting stopped, Maps, Play Store, Play Services, Hangouts, etc. I tried clearing cache, uninstalling updates & reinstalling etc but the problem persisted. So I did a factory reset.
Now my phone doesn't have a launcher, all I can see is the notification bar & a black screen. I cannot access app drawer or do anything else other than accessing settings.
Is there any way to get things to normal? Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

No I don't have a backup but I guess the stock ROM is there on Lenovo website. Can I restore it?

You can try shuame to install launcher on your mob. Just download it on PC and install

google play services has stopped unexpectedly

I keep getting this annoying message. It randomly appears but when it does, it shows up 3 times simultaneously. Making my phone lag so much. I am not able to clear the data of play services, buttons are disabled. Anyone have any ideas other than factory reset? I'm on stock rooted rom.
@dje20 Try to be a root user, then unistall Google Play Services with the Rom Toolbox Lite, and then download again the Google Play Services if everithing is correct, you can clear data, etc

Hi, thank you for replying, I think I did mention that i am a root user.
I have already tried clearing the data of play services using titanium backup but the problem still persists. Though I am wondering if uninstalling the app is any different from clearing it's data. I will try it soon. What I really want to know is what is causing this issue, if anyone could explain to me, that would be great. And also I forgot to mention that this problem most of the time shows up when I open large applications i.e. COC.
@dje20 Flash again vía ODIN the firmware, couse some app maybe it's cousing the problem, so try to re flash the stock ROM, and install all your apps agin, and if the FC still showing up, it's some app problem

[Resolved] my rooted xolo q800 is totally blank.

hi, one day i just root my xolo q800 with kingo root successfully .after that i uninstall all mejor apps and even his main launcher too. left only gmail,setting,camera, calander, cantacts, phone, calculator and some apps. and now my xolo device is blank screen. i cannot access any app. there is no home screen and no apps drawer. only usb debug mode accessible. back to unroot my device but no any effect. i havent any recovery or backup of my old data. please any bodey help me.
Well, that probably means you deleted some important system applications you had no idea what they were... Worry not, I'd suggest installing nova launcher as launcher and getting a locker app for the lockscreen. Installing apps might be tricky but you might be able to install Nova Launcher by typing 'adb install (your apk name here).apk. Maybe you can try for a custom ROM but you should try fixing it ^^
Good luck!

Find the stock firmware then flash the device with PC and your devices compatible flashing tool.
I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
I'm not getting stock firmware in huawei website.
Tuusually I can free space on the internal memory of the phone in this way: settings - memory - internal archive - cached data (translation from Italian, excuse me). with my current phone, Huawei CUN-L21 Android 5.1 EMUI 3.1 I can not do it. nothing happens with a tap. another problem is that I can not move apps on the sd card. the option is there, but it is disabled (lighter color). what is the real problem of my phone?
