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.

TW Launcher (default) reinstall

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.

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.

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

Thanks for the files, but i cant reinstall the app, i put the two filrs into the system app folder, i set all autorization on and restart but the movieeditor dont appears in the list of application, any ideas? If i tray to install the apk the system tell me that it is impossible to install
My mini task manager started acting weird yesterday and I tried using root explorer and reinstall the application, but to no avail. I finally had to do a factory rest to make things right. Back up ur data using titanium back up. Factory reset your device. Then reinstall titanium back up. Restore your files and voila...it should be good.

You should not install,it will show up with the applications or in the settings(i don't remember)if it's working.

No still no joy. Cuiously though the astro backed up apk is called "com.sonymobile.xperialink-1.apk"
But when i looked in System/Apps on the stock rom no such app exists only "SomcXperiaLink.apk" When i try to copy, move or archive that file it fails even after a force stop.
Hope this helps thanks for your help so far.

[Q] Quickpic as default gallery.

I just hate the default GB & CM7 gallery app as they take a lot of time to show up my pictures ( there are about 600 pictures on my sd ). That's why I decided to replace the default GB gallery app by quickpic. I renamed it to gallery3D, moved it to \system\app by replacing the original gallery & set permissions & rebooted. But quickpic on opening suddenly closes all by itself. Tried a fix permissions via recovery with no success. My question is, how do I get quickpic working ( as a system app & as an alternative to the original gallery ) ? What's causing it to close all by itself ? Is there any odex file of the gallery that causes this ?

you have forgoten the lib fils
open the quickpic.apk withe winrar go to lib----->armeabi---->copie all file to system/lib of your rom its all your apps is completly integrated in your rom
Instal quickpic apk separately and then from titanium backup convert it into system app n then delete the previous gallery app. pls hit thnx if helpd.

Some apps like camera and quickpic use lib files to function. The lib files have a set of instructions that are common to the corresponding app. So having a lib file makes it easy so you dont have to re write them again and again.

The other method works & is easy. Move app to system/app & set permissions. Then copy the lib file to system/lib & set permissions. Reboot & done !

Sure! I think is the best gallery app
Why does it have to be a system app? Just install Quickpic and use TB to uninstall default gallery. That's it. Even if you don't uninstall default gallery, the OS will ask you which app to use by default.

Samsung gallery app problem. How to make Quick Pic app as the default instead
Dear All, Samsung users.
I have been having serious problems with Samsung S4 gallery App. The App just does not work anymore, as it keeps on freezing etc. I have resetted my phone several times and did it hard reset and the same problem occurs.
After several hours of research, I was told to use Quckpic app, which as a standalone is brilliant, but can anyone please give me a step-by step guide to make QuickPic as the default app to work with my S4 camera app, and also how do you delete the standard gallery App from the S4.
Kind regards
J
