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

Uninstall both apps from your device and just push them to system/app without installing them. Then reboot your phone.
My explorer gives me an error that it doesn't allow me to move them to system/app, any idea?

Which explorer do you use? You need one with root access.
I have es explorer with root access and still it doesn't allow me to perform that operation.

I can't get this to work..I push both apks to system/app, wipe dalvik cache and reboot my phone..but once it's on I can't find the apps anywhere... If I check the folder with root explorer both apks are indeed in there..they just don't show up
The only way I got it to work was by installing both apps.. which was not a good idea as stated here
P.S.: I'm on Owain's 74 ROM

Maybe you have to fix the permissions of both apps via root explorer.
There has to be: rw-r--r--
hmmm..and how do I do that exactly?
Long press on the app -> permissions
You have to stick read read (-) in the first row
write (-) (-) in the second row
and nothing in the third
Than there has to be rw-r--r-- on the right corner of the app

You only get fc if you install the apps instead of pushing them to to system/app
Use the install guide on my first post and everything should work
But the widget only works with the new LG 3.0 launcher

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.

you need to put the .apk in system/app mounting system (using root explorer e.g.) and setting the correct permissions in both apps and then reboot your device
sorry but it did not work
anybody?
Try deodexing the whole rom from which the keyboard came from and then copy the apk

Ah, having now the root explorer installed is like being to able to breath again I can actually see what's in my phone at last !!! wuhuu!!:laugh:
Having installed a custom ROM (carbon) as much as i love the rom it doesn't come with Xperia Link.
As i have an Xperia tablet Z it would be really useful.
I have tried backing up the APK with Astro but when i tried to install it on my new rom it just refuses to install saying "App not installed" Just to make it clear it's the Xperia Link phone lient i want. Any suggestions?
Try to install it from playstore.

Put the apk file that you've backup in system/app and set permissions rw-r-r and reboot.

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.
