So my phone randomly restarted and after that my home button doesn't work, the button left to it, notification bar and few more things.
I tried to google the solution, and it seems that it has to do something with developer mode. It says: "developer options are not available for this user " , while they were before restart.
Solutions were to install nova launcher, but i can't do that since when i press install, it just hangs there forever.
Any ideas how to fix this?
I have May update.

hey guys, i hope you all doing fine.
i must admit that i really [email protected]#ed up this time. I was messing around with the software "rom toolbox" and i tried to freeze all of the system apps. after the progress bar reached 100% percent the phone started to constantly pop-up a message box which says that the "Dialer" app is crashed. after i click "force close" on that, it pops up again with the same message. between the pop-ups theres like half a second time which i can access the rom toolbox program so i tried and defroze the dialer application. now the pop-up is gone. after that i tried to enable the "Home" app to be able to access the home screen. But it somehow didn't response and i was forced to shut down the phone by pressing and holding down the power button. Now when i turn on the phone, first the LG logo then the LG animation come on screen but after like 10 seconds nothing happens the LG logo stays on screen and then again the LG animation.
I have clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.0 installed and be able to boot into it but it doesn't have an option to defreeze apps. i don't have any nandroid backups and i don't want to hard reset either.
What can i do?
Install again some rom
Hi all,
I recently tried changing the wallpaper on my phone from a live background to regular image. The background went black and the phone froze.
I removed the battery and restarted the phone but it now often freezes on the LG logo. When it does occasionally start up the touch screen will not respond so I cannot get past my lock pattern. If I press the stand by button at the top of the phone, the screen goes off and cannot be turned on again, but the phone is still running - as I can tell this when connected to the computer.
I don't have my phone rooted and do not know much about that. I was hoping there was a way to fix this without having to lose all of my data or root/mod my phone. Otherwise I would be happy just to have my phone working.
Can anyone please help with this problem or tell me why the touch screen will not respond the times it does start up?
Cheers
UPDATE - I started the phone holding the volume button down and went into the recovery mode. I'm not sure exactly which option I then selected, as I hit the home key a couple of times, but I think it was "Clear cache and recovery" or something similar.
The phone managed to start back up with all my apps and photos, etc. Although I had to go through the startup wizard again and sign into the Market, LG World, etc.
Now I have a problem with quite a few of my apps. Whenever I click on them, they start very briefly and then I get the message "The application had stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and have to force close. This happens with apps such as Adobe Reader, GTA 3 and Viber, so it's not a specific type of app.
I also noticed with the few apps that work, data is missing from some and not others. For example, I still have high scores in one game, but not in another.
Does anyone know what the problem is here or why this recovery is maybe causing this?
Thanks very much
Still haven't fixed this problem if anyone could please help. Most of the apps before the recovery still force close upon starting.
Some of these can be fixed temporarily by moving to phone/SD depending on location, but this only lasts for so long, before I have to move again. Others will open up each time as though it's the first opening of the app, e.g. Do you accept....
Apps downloaded after the recovery seem to work fine.
Any suggestions people?
Got the phone last night. Worked fine except for the wifi issues that people have been discussing.
This morning, try to use GPS nav. As soon as the navigation starts, Maps would force close. Did this about 3 times before giving up and deciding to reboot. When I rebooted, it seems to boot, but nothing ever loads on the screen. I just have the status bar and the background wallpaper. That is literally it. No icons. No unlock screen. So basically the phone just sits there with the status bar and the wallpaper.
If I hold the power button for about 6 seconds, it reboots again, but it just goes back to the same screen: status bar and background wallpaper; no icons, no way to unlock, etc.
Any thoughts? I'm thinking I'm going to have to boot into recovery and just do a factory reset of the phone. Anybody know how to boot into recovery? Is it power + volume down?
EDIT: Also, FWIW, I haven't done anything unusual to the phone. No unusual apps. No custom launcher. The only thing I can think of is that I might have disabled some app that has somehow caused this, but I was pretty careful about what I disabled. So I'm really not sure.
the menu keeps popping up erratically and spontaneously, sometimes it does it a few times then stop then few minutes later it just goes on a spree, so everytime i try to do something the menu pop brings me back to the home screen and exits out whatever im doing and its annoying. At first i thought it was a software bug so i updated 2.3.4, so then I flash it to cm 7, and the same thing is still happening
is there a way to disable the menu button on the g2x?
Hi - I have tried multiple Lollipop based ROMs on my OPO. All the Lollipop ROMs have exhibited the same failure on my OPO: When the phone wakes up, I will randomly see a totally black - and basically unusable - desktop, but have a fully working Status Bar and working pull-down Navigation Bar. Holding the power button also brings up the shut-down options. so, I know that my phone isn't dead or frozen, I just can't see anything on my desktop. If I press the power button momentarily to lock the phone, I will see the unlock 3x3 pattern grid when I power on, and I can unlock the phone - but, I see a black desktop.
I recently loaded the official CM12 nightlies, and I am seeing the exact same thing. One thing I have finally determined (which I suspected previously), is that there was some sort of App crash during the phone sleep that had a pop-up message on the screen when the phone woke up. After a lot of random finger mashing and loud screaming at the phone, I saw my desktop again, and saw that "Google App" had crashed. After clearing the error pop-up, my phone has worked fine without rebooting ... for now.
The problem with this is that the black desktops become more frequent as time progressed, eventually reaching the point where I would reboot my OPO and it would power up to a black desktop. In the past, I occasionally saw a flash that looked like a pop-up message before the black desktop, and now I have confirmed that is what is happening.
Does anybody know what is going on?
The problem can be the gapps package you're flashing. Try another one.

Thanks! Do you have a suggested gapps I should try? I loaded pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.0.1-BETA7-20150111a-signed with this build.
