Hello fellow xda members. I had a problem the other day. I installed sgs tools and tried downloading a different launcher. It loaded the launcher fine but I wasn't satisfied. I tried restoring it but it gives the error "folder not found." I was wondering if anybody knows how to reinstall the built in default tw launcher and if I can possibly restore the layout.

I'm sure you could find the apk with a search.
Are you running a custom rom?
No, I'm runnin default android 2.2 froyo. Rooted, but nand backup doesn't work either. A few months ago, I tried backing up with rom manager, but after rebooting, their still wasn't any backups availible to restore. When I boot into system recovery, it doesn't even open cyogenmod reovery.

CM revovery? Stock 2.2? I'm confused.
I tried. Google doesn't show any, only custom launchers and I don't want that.

Bump...
Did you manually check the sgs tools folder for the backup of your stock launcher?
I've been using the gingerbread launcher from the market and I really like it. Just putting it out there to think about it.
Sorry I meant clockwork recovery mod. THAT didn't work or I wouldn't be asking for a way to reinstall default tw launcher. Thanks for all the current ideas

If you still need it, I attached it for you. Just drop it in the system/app folder. Good luck.
Never mind.someone else got it.
OMG THNX FOR ALL YOUR GUYZ (or girls if any) HELP!!! THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Thanks for all you guyz help ( again) but it didn't work so ill just stick with a gb launcher

The one from the market is super easy. And if you accidentally delete it, it's there to reinstall
This is the one from my phone. Dont know if it is what you are looking for as i am currently running Continuum, but good luck.
I think you might need the .odex file as well since I recall seeing that you are running stock 2.2. Did you delete that file?
I'm not sure. How do I check?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can use Root explorer or a similar app and navigate to system/app. See if there are .odex files for the corresponding apk's. If the one for the launcher is missing than that would cause the issue. What happens when you try to run the launcher? does it just force close?
edit: I was able to find the apk and .odex file from a stock 2.2 build. Just drop it in hopefully this works. Just unzip and extract the files manually.
I can't find it. All there is is the .odex for the tw launcher wallpaper

O nvm i found out wat the problem was thank you for helping!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Before you flash, try to clear the launcher cache from settings->Applications->Manage Applications. Select all and scroll down and find your launcher app and clear the cache. That should clear any data remaining from the previous app. You may have to move the old mms.apk back into place, backup your launcher with Titanium, then replace the mms.apk, restart the phone, clear your launcher cache, then you will see all of your icon removed from your home screen. The final step to restore your icons is to use titanium to restore your home screen data.
Hi,
I accidently deleted the touchwiz launcher apk from /system/app using root explorer.......
Could anyone provide me with the apk? as I'm quite fond ot touchwiz........
I'm on a GB, XXJVK 2.3.3
So it would ve helpful if the apk came from an identical one, as apparently gingerbread has a slightly different tw launcher to froyo and eclair.
Thanks

I don't want to do that because I've done a lot with my sgs since I flashed 2.3.3, and
1- I'll lose all the apps/setting
2- I'll lose all the modifications I've made to it, like ROMs and themes
BUT
thankfully someone pm'd me and supplied me with theirs...

twlauncer.apk
Could u please post the version you were pm'd. im in the same situation!
So I flashed the bamf 1.5 remix Rom, and I can't find my gallery anywhere. I'm not sure if I deleted it through root explorer. I don't think I did. Anyways, its nowhere to be found in my phone. I downloaded the 3D gallery, and it seems to work ok, but doesn't work in my camera, and I can't add photos for my contacts because it says no pictures exist on my phone. So, it just seems like I need to have the stock gallery for things to be glitch free. Does anyone have a link to the stock tbolt gallery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Here ya go, hope it works...
Thanks for the fast reply. I tried installing that apk, but it won't install. I even tried extracting the apk from the bamf remix Rom, but that won't install either. Do I need to zip it and flash in in recovery?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
it should be able to install thru adb. Ziping it wont help
I'll have to do it when I get home. I'm at work now. I was hoping I could just put the apk in the system/app folder, but that didn't work either. Thanks again. I'll adb it in the morning.

You have to change permissions to rw-rr

Ok so I opened root explorer, longpressed the htcalbum apk, then clicked permission, selected the appropriate permissions, but they don't change. Am missing a step?

So after many unsuccessful attempts to install the apk, I just reflashed the Rom, and there it was. I must've deleted the apk when I was removing some of the stock widgets. Anyways, I love this Rom. Adrynalyne, and ThatDudeButch, ... You guys deserve lots of props for your work. I've flashed many roms on many phones, and this is one of the cleanest and coolest roms. And the support on this tom is awesome. The battery life is fantastic even with 4g enabled. Thanks again for all your work. You guys a geniuses.

Hi guys I did something dumb last night as I was tired and not thinking. I installed the new market (vending.apk) on my Xoom and quickly realized its for phones only
Anyone have a link to the stock vending.apk ?
I thought you could go into manage applications, find market and click uninstall updates.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I tried the same with same result
Could not get the app back, even with TB. Honeycomb-market consists of 2 files: vending.apk and finsky.apk. Finally I had to rip the files from out of the file "system.img" (part of the AU-Telstra-FW) by using "unyaffs", copied them back to "/system/app" and set the permissions to "rw-r-r". APKs from Tiamat-ROM didn't work, tried that first w/o success...
I could upload them to my Dropbox, but i'm not sure if they'll work for you...
Edit:
Uploaded mine: http://db.tt/cTCSrkb
To replace them in the file system you have your Xoom to be rooted.

Let me know if it works

Only thing is Im not rooted on the Xoom so Im not sure that would work.

Is there a way to install the Touchwiz launcher on Peach Sunrise or other roms? I tried pulling the file from /system/app out of the stock zip but when I flash it to /system/app on Peach nothing happens. It just shows up as uninstalled in Titanium. Any suggestions? I wanted to play around with it for fun.

I think it requires some framework also, not positive about that though
Edit: Maybe try installing as a normal app
Maybe also try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767559 if you want tw4

I tried as a normal app but it fails. Seems I will just stick with ADW EX!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Its possible, BUT it is trial and error. There are several touchwiz launcher apk's floating around, and I don't use gingerbread now that jelly bean is fully working. So just keep trying the apk's you find. Please keep in mind it MUST be installed as a system app with proper permissions or the launcher wont even be recognized as there.
