I've got launcher pro installed and all I did was select a setting under preferences from the home screen in the Launcherpro settings to restore back to its defaults. As soon as I did it asked me to restart. I selected to restart later and then it just started giving me this error:
The application Launcher Pro (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Dumpstate_app_201007291243_android_process_acore. Log has been saved. Use *900# to copy out log.
This error keeps coming one after the next. I can't do anything on my phone.
I searched everywhere online and the solution is "HARD RESET YOUR PHONE".
I called ATT cust support and they DON"T KNOW how to do it w/out going through the UI.
Everywhere online says hold the down button and power on while holding down. I tried that and it does NOTHING.
Somebody please help?
I don't understand why I can't even get to the factory reset menu at least?
I get all my notifications and everything. I can access anything that pops into my notification tray. It get's interuppted by the launcherpro error message but I can kind of plow through it but I can get to the messages application if there's a message in my notification tray or an email. Can I somehow get to the reset menu from that tray?
I can't access any settings normally because settings run off the home screen and my home screen is unavailable due to the launcher pro widget. I just got this phone...this SUCKS.
I can also access the phone through mass storage. I new to droid so I can't brainstorm any ideas.
Try this.
1. remove your battery wait a few seconds and replace it
2. hold down the up and down volume buttons and the power button until the att screen loads on the screen
3. make sure that reboot system now is highlighted (use the power buttons to move) and press the power button
That should reboot your system. If that doesn't work try repeating step 3 but select delete all user data instead.
If launcherpro is crashing, why not go to appbrain on a computer and give the command uninstall it there. In between the crashes, I am sure the phone will get the command and do the deed. Once done, reboot the phone and either TouchWiz should launch, or the screen that tellls you to select default launcher will come up, and allow you to select TouchWiz. Worth a shot I think.
So hold down and up simultaneously? along with the power button?
Do I hold these down until the reboot menu appears? or do I have to hold all three until a specific point during the phone boot then let go?
I've never heard of appbrain but I will check it out and try it if the reset doesn't work still. Thank You!
I tried holding up and down and power and it sent me to the menu Thank You!
the options are
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cach data
is this the stock menu? I was wondering if reinstall packages would correct the issue without erasing my data?

I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to try. I would still try reboot system now first. If that doesn't work you may want to look into the appbrain solution posted above.

Hey thanks for all you guys help so far. I have a few pictures and videos I'm trying to pull off before I try the complete wipe. I'm going to look into the appbrain software. Will update.

I think you may also need to add fast web installer to the toolchain. Get that on the phone first somehow if you need to (ADB install?).

Have you tried the reboot system choice yet? That will not delete any of your data, but it may restart Launcher Pro so that it actually works.
Yes it didn't work. I tried to reinstall all packages but it's looking for some type of ".zip" file at the root directory.
I think it's because I rooted it to sideload, and so this is not the stock reboot menu.
I'm going to have to research to find out what I need to do from here. I'm a brand noob but I think I'm on the right path.

No, that is the correct reboot menu. The reinstall packages searches for update.zip in the root of the sd card, that is how you rooted the device. At this point I would suggest trying the Appbrain method and seeing if you can get that to work. I have never used it so I won't be much help there. If you can't figure that out deleting user data should fix your phone, but you will lose your data.
When you do get everything working I suggest you download rom manager from the market and making a backup of your ROM once you get everything working properly. That will enable you to use the reinstall packages choice to basically go back to a previous working version of your ROM.
Maybe adb (in Android SDK) can be used to remove Launcher Pro?
adb uninstall com.fede.launcher
The only problem is, I think USB debugging mode must be on for this to work...

If it's just pictures you are trying get, then go into mass storage mode, that you indicated you can do. Then take whatever you need off the phone and copy it to your computer. After that put the update.zip file found here onto the root of the internal sdcard. Disconnect the phone and reboot into recovery and apply the update.zip by reinstall packages. Once you get back up, do a factory reset and you will be back to a stock phone with root enabled. Either this, or get your pictures off the phone and then reflash with Odin3 One Click Downloader.
This is what happened. I guess pics/videos are saved to the SD card by default. I found them all there.
So I installed the update.zip file on my device.
I reinstalled packages. Everything went back to normal. A lot of my data was saved too!
I went to the market to download the Rom Manager and had issues. No matter how many apps I tried to download from the Market it stalled at "Starting Download". The ones I paid for said "installed" still.
I did a factory reset through the GUI. It worked. I can download now.
I entered the market with my known google username/password. I tried to reinstall ALL my paid apps. They no longer are marked "installed" but appear as if I did not pay.
Now I'm STUCK on how to get my paid apps back! Namely Rom manager PREMIUM for starters. There's no code or serial to enter. Is there a way to get this back w/out paying for it again?

It appears that you are following the steps. Is it possible you forgot your gmail sign in information and created a new account. A second factory reset may be needed.
This is the same thing that happened to me. Hard reset fixed it.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S
I'm all set, I used the WRONG account.
For future reference, you could have just removed launcherpro from adb.

It keeps force closing on me and I have Open Home 1.5.4. I cant even open it or run it arggg.
Bump? Can anyone please help?
Tried uninstall / reinstall?
If you can get to uninstall, do a safeboot (menu + power).
Thats the first thing I did, I uninstaled and reinstalled 5 times. Restarted the phone then tried installing again. and i did a safe boot too. Idk what else to do, it just wont work.
Have you tried emailing the developer?
I guess worse comes to worse, a wipe... but completely download a new open home, not a backup.
Is it maybe because im running aHome on my G1 already and they conflict with each other?
No, I have aHome on mine too.
If you have apps to SD, there could be something curropting it. If need be, format your ext2 partition and redo it.
Download Paragon Partition Manager Professional Trial.
All my other apps on my sd work fine and i can install new ones to my sd perfectly fine, its just Open Home thats causing the problem, its really strange
Would you happen to know what command i would have to run to delete the Openhome cache and data that has been left there since the last install? I had it once on my phone and it worked perfectly fine maybe taht data is curropt
Nah I don't know a command except maybe go to menu > applications > manage applications > Open Home
Damnnn I need to do it with the commands because i think that the folder it installs itself too still has files in it which are curropt
well the open home data is /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2
so rm -rf /data/data/com.betterandroid.openhome2 would get rid of this, you'd need to su first though
Thank youu
Hey guys, i'm using cyan latest rom and found out that my maps are not pointing to the correct position. I compare with my friend's iphone and his is the correct position.
Anyone has any idea?
GPS on?
10char
Yeah, gps is on! Thats why! Any idea?
You might try to uninstall and reinstall it again.
Or look for it in the market and make sure you have the latest version.
Create a nandroid backup if necessary if the above steps don't work and try the maps app on another Rom.
Its really a process of elimination.
How do I uninstall Maps in my phone? I'm using the latest cyan rom.
Standard way:
1. From the home screen, press Menu, then choose Settings.
2. Select Applications.
3. Select Manage Applications.
4. Scroll through the list of applications and choose Google Maps.
5. Select Uninstall and confirm the application's removal.
If the above does not work (took it off another android site, not my words obviously):
if it doesnt work for you and your phone blows up or turns in to a killer robot, what can I say... oh well, do this at your own risk!
first, I went in to root explorer. I went in to the system file then I went in to the app file. now this is a area that should rarely be messed with. this is were gmail, camera and the browser are hidden. find a app called something like, google.maps.apk once you have found this app, delete it. to make sure you got the right one, go to google maps and try to open it. it should say this app is no longer on the phone yada yada. at this point if you try and download the google map update it will say "this update is not valid" and fail to install. restart your phone, go back to the market and download the maps. it should work. it did for me. could have been a fluke, i don't know. but I tried a 100 different ways to get the update and this is the only thing that worked for me.
Also, search is helpful as well.
Use it please..
Tried already but still not working well. Sigh.
I don't think that the problem is with your maps to be honest but rather with your GPS. Try clearing all the settings/caches from maps, streetview and anything else that uses GPS (weather widgets, shopsavy, etc,). Then, from recovery wipe your dalvik-cache and your rotate settings. See if that helps, if not then you may need to re-install your maps.
Also, make a nandroid backup, complete wipe and install different rom (I recommend SuperD) just to rule that out. If it still doesn't work, then you have a hardware problem.
Can I check with you regarding the wiping of dalvik-cache? If I go to the recovery and do a wipe of the dalvik-cache, will it cause any issues to my current configuration?
Anyone can follow up on this?

Dalvik gets rebuilt on reboot, it will not affect any settings. You're golden.
Missing paid and some nonpaid apps?
This will revert your build fingerprint (its safe and pre-tested by me) so that they show up again.
Install it like any update.zip type install. Backup to be safe, and yes, you must be rooted.

cool been thx alot for this
I installed the zip while in recovery but I still cannot find some apps. Two examples are Tapatalk Pro, and Windfinder Pro. They both have updates being shown available in Appbrain but they cannot be found, 'The requested item could not be found.'
How about in the regular market?
Both show up for me. This change may not be instant. Check back in a few hours. Unless you want to hard reset your phone. I believe it has to do with the frequency that your gmail account syncs with the market.
Well I can search for them in Appbrain fine but when I click them it says 'The requested item could not be found.' I will late a little while.
Thanks
All just showed up after I rebooted the phone again.
Simply installing one new app made all of my apps reappear on the marketplace downloads page.. not sure if will work for others
JTC, this worked for me. Installed a quick free app, then everything else showed up. Thank you both.

You can restore a nandroid system backup if you have one recently. Always make one before you do anything that changes your phone. That way when failures happen from messing with system files you can restore.
You can possibly open his rom, then go to the system folder within it.
look for the build.prop file there. Copy it to your tools folder where ADB is.
Then do this
reboot phone into recovery
go to command prompt
type adb push build.prop /system/
This should solve the issue if you can get the build.prop off his phone or just do a nandroid restore from this rom.

installed this .zip file about an hour ago. no change yet. I'll check it in the morning. Hope it works, as these missing apps are beginning to bother me.

quote from android market downloading issues FAQ:
Android Market disappearing after Android 2.2 Update We're receiving reports from some users that the Android Market app is disappearing after receiving the Android 2.2 update. We're working with carriers and device manufacturers to resolve the issue and restore your access to Android Market.
In the meantime, if you'd like to resolve the issue immediately, we recommend performing a factory data reset on your device. Please note that this will reset your device to its original state, and while your media content (photos, music, etc.) will not be deleted from the SD card, applications and their related data will be uninstalled. To perform a factory reset:
Go to Home > Menu > Settings > Privacy
Press "Factory data reset"
Press "Reset phone"
Your phone will restart, and after everything resets you'll be able to access Android Market again. Note that in some devices the "Factory data reset" option may be located under a different menu item, such as Phone Storage.

You'll need Root Explorer to do that.
And you'll need root, like TRus mentioned.

or get a root file explorer program off the market for free,
get the app "SGS Tools" use it to "run script" > mount system RW
drop the apps in /system/apps/ with your explorer app
use "SGS Tools" again to "run script" > mount system RO
or buy the app root explorer. it has the RW RO button built in. so no run script....
or flash a custom rom..
or try a factory reset again...
^ A simple reflash of the ROM cleared up the problem of the missing apps for me.
Went from GR-12 to Subpression 3 and had the missin app problem...reflashed Subpression 3 and was good to go and then updated to 3.2 and no problems there either.
edit: I realize the OP said they reset their phone to factory settings, but I thought I'd leave my post anyway just incase someone flashed a custom ROM and experienced this problem.
I just had this issue after installing a theme and simply extracted the GR12 files on my SD card and installed the Market and vending apks.
Hi everyone,
My home button and the "swipe from the top" has disappeared since my last restart. I really have no idea what's happened and now I am using the apps called "Button Savior" to return the home screen.Maybe thid was because I have deleted some system files from system/data/data/com.android. providers.settings. I have restarted several times and it didn't work for my device.Now its really inconvenient to use the Kindle Fire HD. My current software version is 7.1.13. Could you guys help me to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance.
maybe pull the rom in the development section and see if you can get the deleted files from it?
the only time my framework dissapeared was when i was trying to install the play store. i got it back by renaming a couple google framework apk's in the system folder and restarting...
Hi adiliyo,
How can I pull the Rom in the development section? As I have deleted many system files, I think I am in a much bigger trouble than yours.

if you can't get the individual files, maybe reflashing that rom will fix your problems
This happened to me, and some other folks. Look for a thread asking about how to view/run settings.
Anyway, some fixes mentioned were to turn off notifications for Gmail - hard to do if you can't get to settings, though.
What worked for me was to try and side-load an application - copy an APK file to the 'downloads' folder on your KFHD via a connected computer using the windows file explorer, or ADB - and then install the APK. In my case by clicking on it using a file manager. The KFHD told me that I would have to enable foreign application installs to finish the install of the side-loaded APK, and took me to that portion of settings that dealt with that. In that section was the 'Reset to Factory Defaults' button.
I pressed the reset button, and got everything back. Earlier applications (google play store) that I hadn't un-installed in an attempt to fix the problem were still there. Super User was intact. I downloaded & installed everything again, and all is working as it should be.
Until Amazon comes clean with this walking ad-server, details on how to modify it without introducing issues are going to be sketchy . It's just our lot in life, if you'll pardon. I appreciate having super user access, and all the Google apps I love to use, but what's really required is the ability to modify the boot loader. Until that's available, it's going to be try until it fails, and then scramble to recover.
Nice HW, but limited by Amazon's vision of the customers.

It works!!!! all the missing parts have come back. the Go launcher EX has saved in Cloud.
solution
download an app called my android, open the app go to my apps and find the settings app then go to device and then go to factory reset. its the only way I found to access settings when drop down didn't work. after resetting to factory my buttons all came back after doing the tooltip for startup
What worked for me on my AF tablet was to uninstall all 4 Google APK files, then uninstall the Launcher Hijack. The tablet swipe down and home button both came back for me. I then re-installed the Google APKs, but didn't re-install Launcher Hijack. Tablet works fine, functions are normal, just have to put up with seeing the default Amazon screen first before tapping the Nova Launcher icon to get to my custom screen, a minor inconvenience, and I didn't have to do a factory reset.
