Here is a quick fix for the Search/Home button not working.
Now, as you all know that Atrix (or other Motorola Android Phones) come with MOTOBLUR. Once you start up the phone after flashing and the custom cooked rom has removed the MotoBlur log-in screen at the start up, the phone assumes that it is "Still Running the MotoBlur Setup", hence the locked Home and Search buttons. Because of this behavior, the Lock Screen is also not showing up.
Now, for you start the MotoBlur setup once again, this is what you have to do :
Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates.
Now, it will popup to create MOTOBLUR account, if you did not create an account, do so, or log-in with the existing MOTOBLUR account, and out of sudden the Home, Search and Lock Screens will start to work
i usually fix this unstalling my custom lock screen and my custom launcher, then reinstalling it, after i rebooting the phone

I have been using redpill v3 and v4 since aug with no issues. Now I have this one. I attempted motoblur setup it does 75% completion. I have logged on to motoblur portal with my computer so I know the account is good

Hey guys this is my first post here and I tried to search for an answer before posting. Here's what I have:
-HTC Hero CDMA
-cyanogenmod 6.1 heroc
-most recent sprint radio 2.42.01.04.27
-decafuct kernel 2.6.29.6
-open home full 4.4
Since I installed the new kernel and radio two things are happening.
1. Thy wifi says 'error' when I try to turn it on.
2. Everytime I reboot as soon as the home screen comes up it says that openhome had a problem and needs to be closed so I select forclose (my options are forceclose and report) Then after a second the home screen shows up, I see the the phone is mounting my sd card and my icons are all there but they are the generic android icons. If I click on any it says, this application is not installed. So I go into application manager and force close openhome again, and that restores it. Also any Widgets I had installed has the error 'problem loading widget' if I long press the screen to put a widget back, most of the Widgets aren't showing up to select. At least the ones that were running before the reboot. Any ideas? I've tried starting in safe mode and the home screen never comes up all I can access is the status bar on top.

PLEASE POST "Questions" and "Non ROM developement" THEADS IN THE CORRECT FORUMS
Deca had a problem with his kernal for about a 24 hour period that did exactly what you're saying with the wifi. I suspect you have that one. Try downloading his newest.
I have no idea on problem 2 though, sorry.
Edit: Actually I had one thought, make sure openhome (and maybe those widgets) are installed to your phone, and not on your sd card.
Yeah, i made that 2 hour mistake a few weeks ago. But it is on the phone. I even removed adw.launcher as a last effort
Hi,
I newly installed ADWLauncher, got a theme and was customizing it.
Then when I changed a folder name, it crashed (The application ADWLauncher EX (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly).
It crashes as soon as it is launched. Worse, because it is set as default launcher, it restarts when I "Force close" it and crashes again.
There is nothing I can do but to press the Force close button.
Can't do anything from computer because I can't turn on the USB debugging mode...
Any help?

Can you get to recovery or Download mode to reflash?
Today I faced the same situation on my Ideos Mobile which has Froyo 2.2 firmware. I went totally insane due to this and started to search on internet, how to hard reset Ideos... I didn't get the desired results. I actually installed the Ubuntu Theme for ADW Launcher and afterwards my mobile got looping on force close. And I wasn't able to access any application as the launcher wasn't accessible.
Solution: I just clicked on the search button on very right side of my mobile and typed settings on there, and to my surprise I was able to access the settings app... From there I navigated towards Application Settings and then uninstalled that UBUNTU theme that caused forced close loop on my Ideos. Try this and hope it would work for you. Btw I am Symbian Lover... Just wanted to change the taste, so grabbed this Android Phone... Android is awesome

I have the similar situation before, boot loop after applying a theme.
if you cannot get into the download mode using key combination, you have to build a jig or buy one online just in case.

If you are able to get into the download mode, basically you just need to reflash to stock and start from there.
Go to data/app folder (find your adw launcher ex apps) then move to system/app folder see if that one will help.

I faced similar issue (after applying some new theme , ADW launcher crashed and no way to reset to default). I already solved the issue now and later come to this post so thought to help others.
Basically when ADW Launcher crashed, there is nothing bad yet to your phone and those are silly who do factory reset or flash rom. Actually you have everything and you just need to remove the newly installed theme so that original theme again come in to picture. Well, the point is how to do it when you can't acces anything.
The solution mentioned above works when you have search key using which you can go to settings. What if its not there? Note that if you have just applied there and ADW Launcher start crashing then you can again open settings by long press on some configured button (e.g. Home key) and select settings from recently launched apps. Well, in my case I actually restarted phone thinking it might change the situation but it made it worst as I can't access anything. Neither call nor mail, absolutely nothing.
Here is one hope. I saw that status bar still active and when I gave miss call to my mobile, I got it in status bar and then I could access my contacts. So I took benefit of that. I send mail to myself from my laptop with google play link to newly installed theme. When I got notification in status bar for new mail, i click on it to open my mail client, From there I click on google play link and my google play app open with that app with uninstall button. I simply clicked it and voilla !! It uninstalled new theme and I got default theme back. ADW Lancher now working perfactly.
I hope this might help others. Now I have configured some keys on my mobile to work as sortcut to settings so that in case something like this happen I can anytime access settings.

Thank you, this "email a link to the theme" tip helped me to solve the continuously crashing launcher problem.
Hey guys I have an issue with my Captivate that just started earlier today. I got my Captivate a few days ago and the first thing I did was root it then flash a rom (latest FireFly) on it, I also went through a few themes since then and everything was great. Today I decided to switch the battery with a third party battery I have for the samsung i9000. Once I started up the phone, it hung at the boot screen for a bit longer than normal. Once I made it onto the homescreen, it asked me to pick a launcher, I picked launcherpro and its settings was reset (my widgets, homescreens, and apps were not as I placed it). The Captivate also vibrates in bursts of 1, then 2 in a row, signaling a FC I'm assuming. ANd thats what happens, all my startup apps keep force closing (alarm clock, titanium backup, battery widget; which isn't even on the homescreen anymore, etc.) I went back to the OEM battery and still getting the same thing. I don't know what else to do at this point, the FCs at startup keeping coming, and its as if all the settings I set we rewrited (for example, no notification for weatherbug, yet it comes up at boot). TIA for any replies.

Try to clear everything in cwm, as well as dalvik and reboot your phone.

Do you have another launcher on the phone? If so, remove Launcher Pro and reinstall. See if that helps, that is if you have another launcher.
long story short, my bro did somethin w/ my phone & it stopped working...only worked shortly after battery pulls
so i factory reset and it works but im stuck at setup accounts and it keeps looping when i set up gps and goes back to backup assistant. Any way to get by this? the error says My Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped
also, i know the phone is working cuz i can get online(by using voice serch), pull notif bar down and go into wifi, gmail, & texts, etc
anyone???

Do you have the desk dock? If you do, plug it in, and go into productivity mode. There is an app drawer there. Go to the market, and install your launcher of choice. Actually, if you do voice search, look for a launcher pro apk. That'll work too.
anyone got a solution? please help.. even i am stuck at the same spot... dont know what app's i need to RE-install...
thanks
If you can get to your dialer (I had to use the Visual Voicemail setup to pull it up, then when it closes back to setup accounts, I held down home to get to the recent apps screen, select dialer from there) use the mic button to access voice commands. Say "go to market" it will pull up market. Download a different launcher, and then when you hit home, it will give you the choice to go back into Setup or your new launcher. Go to the launcher. You can take it from there...
Was the phone rooted? If so - did you remove any apps from /system/app?
Yes and yes. I had backed them up with TiBu, but the restore didn't work as planned so I found a dump of the system/app folder here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-hacks/167677-removing-bloatware-2.html#post1705285
yea i figured it out by trial & error Sat with a lil help from techdigital on another forum...altho i hadnt removed anything...stupid ass setuo apk lol
that helps... yay.
By the way if you tap each of the corners of android welcome screen starting from the top left (haven't tested on d3 but works on others) in order it bypasses setup altogether.
So, I softbricked my D3 last night. I then started work on how to fix it.
Here was my problem: I rooted, remove some app, then started having problems. I would get FC's in motoblur apps. I then decided to factory restore my phone.
This is when the problem started.
In the setup of the D3, you are asked if you wanted to setup location services. If you click next, I would FC then go back to adding an account.
Here's where my solution comes in.
1. Add your Google account
2. Send your self an email with a link to a launcher in the market
3. Install launcher
4. Hit the "Home" button
5. Phone will ask you what launcher you want to use. Make sure to select what you want and check the box to make it default.
Hope this helps anyone in the same spot I was at.

I also posted about this somewhere, I am looking into what apk I removed that causes this when I find out I will post it here then you can just put it back and set its permissions and should be able to finish setup and go back to the blur launcher.
Same basic thing happened to me, problem is that you can't connect to ADB because you can't get into settings to enable USB debugging. Unless someone knows a way around it.
