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.

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

Manually installing system apps

Hi there. After deleting the clock app from my note I have been sent the apk again to reinstall. However aftrr pushing file into system/app i cannot get it to install and it does not show up in app drawer. I have permissions set at RW R R but still nothing.
Am I doing something wrong? All help appreciated.

Bit more info on this. I am on LQ2 with Root and standard kernel.
Only thing i havent done that I can think of is to simply reload LQ2 and start again but this seems a bit much for the sake of an alarm clock. I have installed a basic clock from market but i much predfered the stock clock.

Haven't you got a backup which includes the clock? Always do backups with titanium backup before removing system apps.
In case you got titanium backup pm me your email address and I will send you my backup of the clock. I think this is the simplest way.

Yeah i realise now that i should have done a back up but i deleted the wrong app whilst i was cleaning up and didnt realise till later.

Did you reboot after pushing the apk and setting permissions? It has to be done for changes to take effect.

Yeah rebooted and cleared davlik cache as well.
I think the problem might be that there is still parts of the alarm or clock app left in the the registry or system/app folder but I cant find them. For time being i downloaded a copy of the Clock app from tge Nexus and it works fine.

Sending you titanium backup of clock, place it to titanium backup folder and restore it.
Check PM after some time.

I did exactly the same. Sent it to him by email. No response yet whether it worked or not.

Hey guys thanks for reply. Not had a chance to try back up yet but should get time later tonight and will let you know.

Ok so tried to do a backup and titanium says its reinstalling app but just stays at that sort of buffering circle for as long as i care to leave the phone to run. In titanium the backup shows being available for backup with the smiley face etc. I can see titanium getting su access etc as well but just not reinstalling.
Might need to admit defeat lol.

it would be relatively painless if you'll find/use non-wipe ROM

Have you tried flashing a nandroid backup, one before any password was set.

Dont have one . Any other ideas?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Not sure but I believe if try to sign in half a dozen times or so it will allow to assign a new password.

But on another note IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO SEARCH you would find that there are a couple of ways around the security features BUT you have to know how to use adb commands
Sent from my AOKP M6 TouchPad using TapaTalk 2

do a backup in cwm recovery backup. then do a cwm factory reset, then in the fresh new clean cm9 use an app that will allow you to extract apps and data from the recovery. i use the app manager that came with rom toolbox pro. but its a paid for app i dont know if the lite version has that feature. but if you dont have rom toolbox pro you should. the app manager will let you restore any app, app+data or just data from the apps in your cwm backup. problem solved.

this is something I wrote for the lock pattern, but it will apply to any other lock method

Task Manager is not showing in app drawer.

My task manager is gone from the app drawer. I reflashed my rom, but still the same. Flashed another rom and still the same! I did full wipe and everything else, but he is not showing. I can enter through the Recent Applications, but its not in the App drawer. Could it be from connecting the phone to my Philips Smart TV with the usb cable? Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try to see in the system/app if it is there.
If it is there, do you have app installed that hide the said app not to appear, for example a go launcer.

It's there and it's not from the launcher. I tried TSF, TouchWizz and Apex and he is not there...

Try to format your internal sd. Be in safe kernel first before doing it like speedmod k3-13 if your on ics rom.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Yes, im on ICS with Hydra Core kernel. Is it safe?

Yes you are safe. Its better to factory reset and check also the format usb storage, remember if you do this you will lose all your data. Use titanium if you want, before restoring pls check if the said app appear.

Are you using a 3rd party app to sort ur apps or the built in one...I have problems with the app pictures disappearing but not rearranging themselves..I think its a known vault but u could try wiping both caches in recovery to see if that helps...I'm also on RR v11.

only the LRQ touchwiz will come this problem, when i move apps to sd card, after i customize my app place, restart will go back to default place, LRK base touchwiz wont have this problem.
