I froze my homescreen 1.0.0.106 apk with TB because I was using a different launcher. When I defrosted the apk it appears to be broken because it wont run, just shows a black screen, and the listed apk file size is zero. Any suggestions? I was able to get my phone workable again by going into market from my computer and installing go launcher, however I would still like to fix the stock launcher.

Try clearing Launcher cache and whatnot. If that doesn't work, restore a backup.
I have already cleared the cache, no change. Anyone have a backup of the apk. I'm on. 902 if it matters.

Is anyone willing to share the stock homescreen app? I'm not wiping back to stock for one app.

I don't think of a launcher app as just another app. A launcher is kinda needed.

I flashed a new rom to my droid (MIUI rom) and flash a theme to it as well. well to cut a long story short, my droid all it does is constantly reboots. it gets to the eye, then starts to boot up process all over again, any way to fix this, please help.
Thanks very much
You have a backup? If not try wiping a few times and reboot

I tried that and it didnt work
You use rom manager or spcovery? Either way try going into recovery and flash a different rom you have downloaded
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
Try a different kernel maybe

it will not sync to market, usually only paid apps will re-sync. IIf you did not wipe data, system, that would cause a problem. Also, try Slayher's kernal, that might help.
Good sirs,
Recently, like since last week, I cannot see any of my installed apps in the Android Market, under "My apps". Consequently i also cannot see any updates to those apps.
The ONLY thing, I see there are the apps I have purchased, and any apps I newly install...
I have a captivate running cognition 2.1.6.
anyone else having this issue?
HELP!!!
Have you tried clearing the data?
Menu button->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Third Party Tab then scroll down and choose Market then click Clear Data.
Try the above first, if that doesnt work, go to the market and download Eris Market Fix. This app worked for me on my captivate before.
im running 2.1. dont see a third party tab.
but i did clear the cache. did not help.
then tried uninstalling the updates to market. it said uninstall failed.
Now my market is completley gone!!
I'd suggest three other things then...
First would be to restore from a backup... you did backup your apps when you flashed right?
Second would be to use or get SGS Tools and try the Market Fix option there. Find it here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936727
Third would be to search vending.apk That's the market apk, then download it and sideload it.

I reinstalled a whole new ROM...
BTW, I heard that using the new market web interface will break the market on devices with custom ROMs. is this true??!
I haven't heard of anything lime that. When I was on 2.1, I had a blackmarket app that allowed.me to upgrade my market interface. I have never had a problem with not being able to see free appear tho. I suggest backing up anything you have that's important and after attempting any fixes that others will and have spelled out, try a ODIN3 restore. I don't have any links but it will fully restore your phone to stock. Some of your data should still be there but it will do a full wipe and restore. Other than that, don't listen to me. I only have 3 posts.......

I had the same issue before and i just did those steps and it resolve it!
yea on the new ROM clearing the cache works! thanks.
Ok, I finally got myself into a corner that I can not find an easy way out of.
I wanted to try the 5 slot TW launcher available through SGS tools.
After installing it, it had no "phone" icon so I could not figure out a way to get to the dialer. So I went to the location were SGS Tools made a backup and clicked the .APK - it "installation failed" so I rebooted. Upon reboot all I get a a twlauncher force close loop.
is this recoverable, or am I flashing?
Thanks
delete the twlauncher.apk in system/apps.
Likely flashing, maybe try a factory reset in recovery, or if you can mount sd in recovery maybe push another launcher apk and boot.
But once again I think you are flashing
CM7
Try taking the tw launcher apk out of whatever rom you have first and copy it over to see if it fixes the issue first. If not, probably need to reflash.
Ok, let me make sure I got this:
Connect phone to PC
Use Droid Explorer to browse to system/apps
delete twlauncher.apk
reboot phone
Is that right?
I just need to make it through tomorrow with a usable phone!
Wanted to add, current set up is AT&T 2.2 ROM with SuperCurio's KB1+Voodoo kernel
Anyone have a link to a stock twlauncher.apk

I'm pretty sure he does. He said he downloaded twlauncher from sgstools. The other launch will automatically become the default.
Better check if you have 2 launchers in the folder. I think the one you downloaded from sgstools is TouchWiz30Launcher.

Yes, I can browse to it on my PC using Droid Explorer. In system/app it is called TouchWiz30Launcher. However, it must be R/O because I can not delete it. Is there a way to mount R/W using Droid Explorer?
There is another file called TouchWiz30Launcher in the sgstools folder...
Ok, I might have just caught a break. A "you have market updates" just popped up in my notification bar.
Should a DL and install Launcher Pro and Home Switcher?
Sounds like a good time to upgrade to Gingerbread launcher. I use it and I loved it. And sgs told you to make sure you had a back up launcher (like launcher pro) before you did that.
why not flash the older launcher again using CWM?

simply go into settings, applications, then manage running application then search the launcher app currently running then select remove defaults after that click force stop the launcher it will bring you back to your default launcher. do not install yet another until you solve the force close. if you install many launchers in your phone force stop other launchers in your all application setting as it will cause battery drain, memory and incompatibility issue since you are running other launchers in the background even if you are not using them.
Ok, I'll try that out. I did not think I could get into settings in the state the phone was in. Good to know that the capacitive buttons should still work without a running launcher.

It should be there it's impossible to know you're running the app but is not present in running applications. Try to open the apps that has a word launcher in it and see if it is running with the option to clear defaults if it has that is the one you should force close.
For those of you that do not want to DeOdex their phone manually, here's a script I created to do it for you. I've created this same script before for the Droid X, and it's quite simple. Here's what you need.
1) Your phone must be Rooted.
2) You must install Bionic_Bootstrapper.
Below you can find these items.
COMPLETE GUIDE TO ROOT AND BOOTSTRAP
Once you have that.... download my DeOdexer and put it on your sdcard.
Bionic_AutoDeOdexer
MIRROR
Reboot into recovery. BACKUP YOUR PHONE!!!!
Once that completes, then go to install from zip. Choose file from zip... find the Bionic_DeOdexer zip file... and run it.
There is a script at the beginning that checks the build.prop file and makes sure you have the correct build. You must have 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. If you do not, I hope it fails.
Reboot.... and all should be good. Now that you are DeOdexed.... have fun theming!
As you should know, do this at your own risk. Yes, I've tested this on my phone and had no issue. This doesn't mean you won't experience a problem. I'm not responsible for what happens to your phone.
ENJOY!!!
Worked great. Saved me a lot of time from manually deodexing.

Have you removed or touched any of the system/app/ 's ?
I'm running the rooted stock rom. I haven't removed any programs or modified/renamed anything in /system/apps, however, I did freeze some of the bloat using TB. Do I need to defrost the apps first before running this script, or does it matter?

If you modified any of the APKs, to include freezing them, I cannot guarantee it will work. Best thing is to be completely stock and rooted. At least that's the way I did this script.
Thanks for the answer! TB has a batch defrost, so if I decide to go ahead & run this script, I'll defrost everything first.
I did mine with frozen apps and it seems to be working well. Was able to install the 1% mod and use a custom battery icon too.

Good to know. I do know that depending on how the person downloads some packages, they may get corrupted during download. If it fails one time... try again. If it continues to fail, re-download and try again.
So the file isn't available any more?

Worked great here, didn't unfreeze anything before running it and no problems to report.
Kind of a goofy question, but is there any reason that deodexing the stock (rooted) rom would worsen data loss issues?
The reason I ask is that I reverted to stock yesterday after experiencing substantial data problems with UNLEASH3D 1.5. Ran well for the entire day and this morning. Then, a couple hours ago, I ran this script and have had nothing but issues since, with both WiFi and cellular data dying, and not coming back without a reboot. Reverted to stock again, and all is normal.
Any ideas?

I have these same issues on stock, on .892 and on any roms - I really think it is just the phone :/ - there is a known bug on the bug list about data connectivity issues.
Btw the .892 radio is complete crap.... at least on my phone it is...
Market Apps
After running this script, I noted that my normal list of around 60 or so market apps is now showing only around 13 apps. Also, the market app asked me for authorization when I started it up. So, I don't know if this script, or maybe an automatic update to the market app has caused my missing downloaded apps.
They are still on the phone, and still backed up with TB, but they are not shown in the market My Apps page.
Any thoughts or solutions?

...Argh, never mind, this phone seems to have a mind of its own. The account chosen for My apps was not my main google account but another one. Not sure how this happens, but I find little things like this all the time with Android. My favorite is that my email delivery settings (push vs. manual vs. schedule) seem to change on their own!
When I go to My Apps the screen is blank and white. I can still search for apps and access the app market the only thing verizon wanted me to do us a hard reset which I an not willing to do

Go to applications and clear the data for the market app. It sounds like you have a permissions problem and hopefully that should fix it.

For now you can use AppBrain to make sure you don't miss any app updates -- still annoying because you have to accept each one, but the only good way to check until this is sorted out.

How about just restoring your apps next time.
When you restore your settings and data, you are reloading your problems back in to the device.
If that doesn't work. Just restore one app at a time until you find the culprit.
