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!!

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

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?

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
Hi, anyone who can tell me where i could get any Rom for my Intab?
I missinstalled some Google apk´s an now my Tab ist Stuck in the Setupwizard an won´t let me do anything exept changing the Language
The Original Recovery is availible, adb connection not
seems there is no launcher installed, cause when i go back to factory settings i just can choose setup wizard when i press the home button.
is there any chance to install a launcher trough the recovery system?
I tried to install a new Launcher from the Recovery, but it wont let me flash it because the files are not signed - my ideas get to the end now
All the widgets that I use gets disappeared whenever I reboot my device. All the defaults apps get cleared too. I dont know why this is happening but I want to fix it.
One more thing whenever I use any module of Xposed framework which asks for soft reboot the device keeps popping up the message of unfortunately system UI has stopped. But the problem gets solved when I reboot my device but the changes made by the module disappears..
Is there any solution to it?
P.S. My device is rooted but I dont have CWM recovery.
Nexus 5, 4.4.4, dalvik runtime. Currently on cyanogenmod 11, but this problem started prior.
I rooted my phone, initially to run xposed framework. I actually got it installed and opened, but I noticed I couldn't install any modules. Uninstalled, tried to reinstall, found I couldn't sideload any apks. Cancel button works fine, but install button does not respond to touch in any way.
Everything I have tried:
Rebooting
Unrooting/reflashing stock
Rerooting
Using various apk installers/file managers. They all still bring me to the install screen where I can't push install, so they're unless
Clearing caches (dalvik, package installer)
Making sure all screen filter apps are off
Making sure all security options are correct (do not verify app, allow unknown sources)
Flashing a new Rom entirely (cyanogenmod)
I'm at a loss. Are there any options left to try that may fix this?
First, root has nothing to do with your issues. When you say install button doesn't work, what install button are you taking about? And how are you trying to side load an apk? Are you using an app, recovery, or what?

Do you have echo lock screen notification installed?

Unfortunately I can't post an image of the install screen because I'm still a new poster. I usually just try to install apps by navigating to them in my file manager and clicking on them. Nothing special. The install screen is the default holo one that pops up.
Welp, turns out it was Echo Lockscreen. That's a massive bummer...loved that app! Thanks Pirateghost.
