Hello All,
I have a LG p500, which after reading blogs about updating the ROM, i tried pressing Vol Down + Home Key+Power button. After this the phone got resetted. I had rooted the phone earlier on stock lg rom. i had done previously some stupid mistakes and deleted the lg home.apk and the keyboard. So now i am without keyboard, but have access to calls, messaging and internet. But i am not able to download any apks because i am not able to put in my credentials for google.
Please help me, i am a noobie i understand that, shouldnt have done this also. Please help me installing the keyboard atleast.
Thanks in Advance,
Joe
you can find keyboard apks here, just search for them and you can install it with adb (adb push keyboard.apk /system/app/). you should do the same with a launcher (adw is open source so it should be easy to find it). sorry but I can't provide exact links now, but I hope I could help you

Hello XDA...
I have been a long leeching in this forums and this site really is helpful. but recently I stumbled upon a problem that I cannot solve myself. I badly need help so please... I need any idea to solve my prob... I would really appreciate any reply...
I have a 7" china brand tab named KATA Minitab7. I successfully rooted it (thanks to XDA) but did not installed a custom ROM. so It runs in stock ROM. It just happened that the "Google Services Framework" always force closes every time I connect to any WiFi spot and I can't download anything from the Play Store. I tried to Uninstall the "Google Services Framework" but I cant find a way to install it again (c'mon, laugh i know that was stupid) Then finding nothing much to do to resolve this, I factory reseted the device. and the bigger problem started.
After the factory reset, the device did not install a launcher.. when I turn it on, it loads, then the locker screen, with the status bar at the bottom.. when I unlock it, it's only the status bar and a black screen. The "settings" is still available from the status bar and when I go to settings->applications it detects nothing.. no running, no downloaded, nothing on sdcard.
Is there a way to install a launcher by connecting the device to a PC? or is there a bigger problem other than the device not having a launcher?
I am no expert in these fields but I can easily understand any instructions even if it is a little "geeky" (can't think of a better term) since I have a little background on programming. just please use human language ^_^
I would really really appreciate all the knowledge that I would learn from your replies... thanks to all...

It certainly isn't 'Bricked' - but you are going to need to install either a Custom ROM or an original Stock ROM as it sounds like you have well and truly screwed the ROM on there. I suspect that the lack of a launcher is merely a symptom of your device's deeper problems.

In a very humane language, do the following:
1. open your cmd/terminal
2. Navigate to the folder where you put your adb(Example: cd c:\fastboot) , assuming that the adb file is put at a folder called fastboot at c drive.
3. Download a launcher(google it yourself, I don't know what launcher that you want) and put it at the folder where you put your adb
4. Type the following: "adb install <launcher_name>.<extension>". Usually it is like this: "nova_launcher.apk", "nova_launcher" is the filename while "apk" is the extension
5. Install it at your android phone.
6. Done :victory:
On a side note, is your internal storage empty(can be checked at settings -> storage)?
Videocon A45 - Android Phone Status Bar missing and Phone keeps Restarting itself.
My Videocon A45 Android v2.3.5 Phone keeps restarting on itself....
Also, when it starts "sometimes", it shows (com.systemui process error) and asks to force close ..... i see that the status/ notification bar on top which displays your battery, connections, usb connections n all, is missing.
I have Rooted my device.
This problem started soon as i was using root uninstal software and i was backing up some apps and uninstalling them to free up some internal storage...
but i guess i have uninstalled some, which i shouldnt have...
Please tell me if you need some more information to solve this problem....
Please please help me out with this Thank You...

I think you uninstalled some system apps. May be the systemUI.apk , it is the one which is responsible for the status bar.

You should have had a backup of your systemUI else at least a nandroid backup.
It seems you don't have a Custom recovery like cwm.
Also you don't have the systemUI backup i think.
Other choices as you don't have backups-
Search for your device's CWM try to flash it & then find a custom Rom for your device and flash it.
Another way is that ask some of the members with the same device as yours for the systemUI.apk and push it into the /system/app either with the help of adb or CWM through aroma filemanager.:thumbup:
Please do a little search on what i am suggesting and try to learn & do as i can't post all the methods step by step in a single post.

Any methods that i know couldn't help you AFAIK.
Coz there are ways complex for you to get into right now. (such as taking logcat through adb, finding & debugging the problem)
Better try to give it in service center, and don't say that you rooted the device.
They can easily flash a fresh firmware for your device.
All the best:thumbup:

1. The service center people will directly know that the device is rooted, coz as i said my device starts up and functions normally for sometime, and i can see root apps on the menu, superSU, RootUninstaller , Titanium Backup and all... and I would like to keep it as last option to go to service center, they would take too long to solve this...
2. Do you suggest Uninstalling these root apps first....?
3. Do you suggest Unrooting my device before i take it to the service center...? coz i had read that they wont know that it was rooted then..
4. How do you take logcat through android debugging , find & debug the problem-- What do i require to do this, i mean the required softwares n all....
5. i also have the com.android.acore unexpectedly closed error... i cannot access call functions as well....
6. What are the probable causes for this problem........ ? Thank you..!

Try a data/cache wipe first & check whether it gets solved..
1. Google it as 'download adt'.
2. It can be said as adb environment. It's a part of adt.

Hi
I rooted my phone today. Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570.
It went quite well. I deleted all the bloatware that I didn't want etc.
After all that was gone I starting disabling things that I thought was extra. At one point the phone switched off and didn't come on again. I rebooted it and when it did come back on the only things I can access now are the notification panel at the top of my page, my volume control and the power key. The screen has gone black. I cant use anything else now. Its obvious I've disabled the home screen or something.
What can I do, if anything?
Really appreciate any help. Thank you.

You have removed the "homescreen" (Launcher)
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
If so then you can move a launcher apk to /data/app
(if you need a launcher apk and instructions to do this then ask me )
if not then go find a cwm launcher installer (if you have recovery installed)
and flash that.
It will give you a launcher to work with.
If you need help with modding or removing apps, etc.
Then you can pm me so we don't spam this thread.
Use Samsung PC suite it will fix all the errors in your phone then root it again.

An apk is an application package for android.
The homescreen is the app that is run when you unlock the screen. (It is also known as the launcher)
You will need the drivers for your phone.
Which you can obtain from your manufacturers website. (Example: Samsung mesmerize > Support > downloads > driver.msi)
I have attached a zip file that needs to be extracted. (I put it together just for you )
Once extracted you must go inside the extracted folder and double click the start file.
Follow the instructions from there.
You will not need to connect wirelessly so just press enter.
It does almost all the work for you.
It's not a flash zip.
Its a script.
Go herehttp://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-S5570EGAMET-downloads
Then install the kies from software tab
run that and plug your phone in with usb.
Then let it detect it and install whatever is necessary.
Make sure it has a connection then try my tool.
My tool is a Windows script.
For Windows.
Not Android.
Extract my zip and run the start file.
If it detects your device then let it fix your stuff.
It cant get any clearer than that. Really appreciate this. I just need to get onto the computer now. Will do it in the next 24 hours and let you know how I get on.

I have a zip here as an attachment. (The Cwm veersion of my homescreen Repair)
Don't use it without a backup in recovery.
You might have to disable signature checking.
Make sure you put the zip on the sd card of the phone.
Goto mounts and storage in recovery and make sure that /data is MOUNTED!
I repeat, Mount /data FIRST.
Then go flash the zip from the sdcard or adb sideload(>Haven't tested sideloading)
Reboot. Enjoy.
Update!
It doesn't work for some reason.
Can I get a dev to help me?
Bump.
