Revert Hero apps

Trying to figure out how to:
Replace the 3-screen 'launcher'/home in JACHero Lite with Cyanogen's 5-screen version: Managed to 'push' it in there and delete Rosie but then it wouldn't boot - push'ed Rosie back and it would reboot, but then I couldn't 'clear defaults' on Rosie/TouchFlo and 'Home' (the launcher) doesn't seem to have registered properly :/
Replace the browser / camera apps with the 1.5 versions - is it possible to have the option of running both? I mean having both installed and choosing between.
If anyone can help me get this sorted would much appreciate! I have adb running...

Deleted Launcher

I accidentally Deleted my Launcher app using titanium backup. Is there anyway to reinstall the launcher? I really don't want to have to reflash the whole rom. I'm just using a rooted stock rom.

i suspect you just need to push the launcher.apk to the appropriate destination. search around for instructions on how to do it, and a copy of the file itself

you can download helix launcher from the market. great launcher I use it all the time. I prefer it to the stock launcher anyways.

You can also just reflash the rom your using again, it wont delete any apps or anything and it will relace the stock files.

you'll need to find the Launcher2.apk from the Rom you use. just extract the Rom and search the extracted folder: /system/app . once you find the apk file, you'll need to push it to /system/app on your phone via adb or the Su file manager (available in market)

I did the same thing...
I have a Milestone 3 (Brazilian Droid 3) and after installing a new home screen, i deleted the standard motoblur home screen (not without a backup of course). I didn't know that a factory reset don't reinstall the standard programs of Motoblur, so now i have a handset without launcher.
I can't access by ADB, due the factory reset deleted my predefined configurations and I can't access the market to download a launcher.
The only thing I have is the lock screen, the notification bar and a black screen below the bar. When i plug the USB i have the options to access the Motorola Phone Portal, USB, Windows Media Link and Charge only.
I tried to find the base rom to reinstall, but i couldn't find. Tried to find a shortcut to use by the keyboard, and got the same result.
I'll keep trying to find a way, and if anyone could help us i'll be glad.
Thanks

I would have hoped that the OP has managed to get his phone working after a year and a half.
Have you tried using the desktop android market to push a launcher to your phone?

Romkitchen.org build rebooting

Hello,
I've generated a zip with romkitchen.org, for my Galaxy S.
It's a wipe version, and to avoid problems, I made a factory reset and wiped cache partition before flashing.
I had no problem for flashing the rom. But my phones reboots without a reason (for exemple after downloading an app in the market, just before installation).
Is it possible to know a little more about the problem or if someone already had the problem ?
[Edit]
I don't have that problem using Darky's.
The Doc build is composed of :
- XXJPY v8.1.1 WIPE
- JP9 Multi CSC
- Hardcore's Kernel
- JPY Modem
- Android 2.2.1 Browser, Zeam Launcher 2.8.7, Go Launcher v1.41
- Swype JPU, Samsung EURO Keyboard
- Unified Inbox, Flash Player, FM Radio App, Maps 5.0, Memo, MMS AOSP, STK, Screen Capture, YouTube App
- Quickboot, SGS Tools
- Non Increasing Ringtone, Voodoo Sound, Damian Tweak, LCD Density Changer
- WPA Supplicant Standard
- XXJPY AOSP theme
[/Edit]

I know it's not cool the bump his own topic, but i've an update :
It's not just happening on market downloads, also on other apps (tried to launch titanium backup && MMS app, same problems).
Could it be a kernel problem?

hi, when i install a new rom I do this steps:
1) factory reset
2) format card (internal+external) - before this i move the titanium backup folder on PC
3) clear cache/dalvik
5) install wipe version
I never had problems. try to do this and see what happens. after installing the rom from kitchen, update the kernel to 13c, the latest one on hardcore's topic. After that connect to PC an copy back to the root of the SD card the titanium backup folder. Install TB and restore.
If you still have problems like reseting, then it's a fault hardware.
To be shure, try to install a stock rom, if it still resets it's hardware

I'm using Darky's and I don't have reboots atm.
I didn't format my Internal SD. I'll try it. Thanks for the advice. (Altough I didn't think it was possible to be the source of the problem!)

Yes the ROM kitchen is having problems right now. The problem seems to be certain themes, which make the entire ROM defective. Several of the themes work fine. Try Andromeda. Hopefully the problem will be fixed before long.

Also, make sure you use the most recent version of the ROM

[Q] Stock Launcher dissapeared and can't get it back?

I am running Darky's Mod v9.5.XWJS28 on a rooted galaxy S GT-I9000, and SGS tools came pre-installed on it. Last night I had a look at the "upgrade stock apps" selection in SGS tools, and had a look at some of the apps. I installed the hacked camera app and the Galaxy tab E-mail app but I DID NOT install any of the launcher apps, only had a look at what each of them did. The stock launcher (touchwiz30.apk I am pretty sure it is called) worked perfectly fine after that.
Then late last night my battery ran dry. I plugged it in and charged it up, to notice that the launcher had changed to the extra one I got with Darky's Mod (so not the stock one that comes with an un-modified galaxy s). I went to "home switcher for Froyo" to find the only one showing up was the extra one (simply called "Launcher"). I was tired so I went to sleep, thinking that maybe if I restarted the phone it would fix itself.
So I woke up this morning and tried it, to no avail. I then tried downloading various Touchwiz30.apk from the internet, moving them over to my sd card and then using "My Files" to install them, but trying to do that just shows up with "application not installed" and nothing else to tell me why that is.
SGS tools also says that it backs-up the stocklauncher in sdcard/sgstools, and if I press "apply script" within the program and then "restore_launcher.txt" I will get my launcher back, but lo and behold, "apply script" works but then there is no "restore_launcher.txt". Using "My Files" to go to that folder, I find a Touchwiz30.apk in there, but checking its details, it takes up a whopping 0bytes of space!
Obviously I am going to uninstall SGStools after this, but in the mean-time how do I get my stock Home launcher back?

Possible Darky ROM solution
Hi Shi-an,
The same thing happened to me running Darky 9.5. You have probably resolved this by now but I thought I might post this for other people. Firstly, I am a novice... but I tried using "nitrality" (free version) to restore the twlauncher, which it did well. But when I the twlauncher, it force closed when I selected any apps. So Nitrality is NOT the solution for this.
To fix this I restored Darky ROM without wiping. (like a factory reset of the system area I think, but leaves your data and apps in tact.)
1. Undo lagfix using Voodoo Controls (if you use it) (as I said, I am a novice, so not sure if you need to undo lagfix when reflashing your ROM). Reboot and wait for the robot voice to take care of this for you.
2. Used Darky ROM Configurator (you probably already have it, otherwise its on the marketplace)
3. Made sure all the options I want were selected. Not wiping data is fairly important ... so make sure you don't select it unless you want to start fresh.
4. Menu, save and exit.
5. Go back into it, then menu select zip and flash.
6. Select the Darky 9.5 zip file (approx. 251mb)
The phone should restart into recovery and start reinstalling Darky ROM.
When it was all done, twlauncher works properly again.
I hope this helps someone. I take no responsibility for this... and I have assumed quite a few things, like you are running Darky ROM, with a custom rooted kernel and recovery mode which can work with Darky Configurator. I think I am on Darky Core 1.5.
Cheers.

Gtalk, app isn't installed

Hi,
I'm running Slim ICS 4.2, with semaphore kernel.
I tried installing the 4.2 JB camera, and the photosphere didn't work. Before trying to flash the file, I did a nand backup.
Since the camera didn't work, I just restored my backup.
But now for some reason gtalk disappeared from my phone. The icon is on the home screen, but when I click it, a warning appears saying "App isn't installed".
In the app drawer, the app doesn't appear, neither in the "Apps" menu in the settings.
I've tried several things now, the most extreme of which was factory reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + format /system + reinstall slim ics 4.2. Even with a fresh install, Talk wouldn't appear anywhere.
There is a "Talk.apk" in /system/app (and I didn't put it there manually). Tried installing it and it obviously doesn't let me (with the default android apk installer, I don't know if there are others out there).
Another thing I've noticed was that the chrome icon I had on the home screen changed to a little android figure (could be from semaphore). Other than that, everything seems pretty much normal.
I use gtalk a lot, so I really need this working. I don't know what else to do.

Just found out a couple more things:
- Apparently the weird icon on Chrome also happened on my girlfriend's ICS tablet, so that has nothing to do with the problem.
- Found this link: h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones (I can't post links, so you have to copy/paste)
When I do ls on /system/apps, there is a "Talk.apk" there. However, when I tried removing it, it returned "No such file or directory". (screenshot attached)
Also, when I do "pm list packages", the talk package isn't there (com.google.android.talk)
After that I tried deleting "Talk.apk" through OI File Manager (the default file manager of slim) and it just fails.
