Hi guys I set up my wife's s6 and while trying to use helium backup to restore done apps without rooting her phone. I restored the icons to the new phone and now it won't stop force closing. I installed a third party app. But she really wants touchwiz back because of the widgets.
The help I need is,
Is there a way to reinstall the app?
I've tried with one I found online but it won't install because it won't overide a system app. I didn't know if there was a way to force it and if someone could post am apk of the launcher to try that one also.
Thanks,
Try going into app manager in setting and find the app launcher you installed. Click on it and to go to app info and click the button that says clear defaults. Once it does press the home button and it should ask which launcher you want as default.
what launcher did you have? i dont think touchwiz gets "uninstalled"
like in nova > settings > select default home
Yes I know all that. But touchwiz force closes so it won't let me use it. I have Nova as a backup
So you were restoring apps using Helium Backup and it restored an icon pack? Can't you delete the icon pack?

I installed handcent and now when I get a text I get 2 notifications. How do I delete the at&t app? In titanium backup I only see the ability to remove the preferences but not the program itself.
Also I am running launcher pro and I want to use my tw app drawer icon but its not available when I go to change the icon. How do I get it on there? I can use other tw icons for other apps, just not this one.
Thx

Open Messaging, and on the main list of all your threads hit Menu then settings and disable Notification.
I had the same issue. Don't delete the messaging app. (I don't know if you should or shouldn't, so I wouldn't), just disable the notifications.

It's an excellent sms replacement imo.
Has anyone found this problem? I arranged my apps into folders into the app drawer, but when i come to extracting the apps to place back into the app drawer or the homescreen, touchwiz force closes. Only way to restore is to clear data for touchwiz.
I think its a bug. Im on zedomax's custom rom with root. It was doing this before i rooted also.
Im using google launcher and want to backup my homescreen i have tried myback up but it didnt work.i change rom very often so it could be very usefull. Any one now a app that works, i could use nova but prefer the google launcher any ideas
I use the google now launcher and found when restoring a phone from google when the launcher is reinstalled the homepage icons ans widgets put themselves back. This is awesome except when using titanium back to put the apps back on since google restore goes first then TB.
Anyone know how to "re launch" google app restore so I can select the launcher and have it put my icons back for the apps that were not installed yet the first time.
thanks
Is there a way to backup my TouchWiz homescreen? I know I can install nova launcher, but I'd like to stay with touch wiz if possible. Could it be done?
If you have rooted your phone, try Titanium. Otherwise I don't think so

Go to settings/Samsung Cloud/Backup or restore and here you can backup your touchwizz homescreen only way i know to do that
That's not an option on my device?
Only Calendar, contacts, Internet and keyboard.
All..I found an app called "My backup " that allows me to save all of the apps and folders on my TouchWiz homescreen. Works great!
