Deleted Launcher

I accidentally Deleted my Launcher app using titanium backup. Is there anyway to reinstall the launcher? I really don't want to have to reflash the whole rom. I'm just using a rooted stock rom.

i suspect you just need to push the launcher.apk to the appropriate destination. search around for instructions on how to do it, and a copy of the file itself

you can download helix launcher from the market. great launcher I use it all the time. I prefer it to the stock launcher anyways.

You can also just reflash the rom your using again, it wont delete any apps or anything and it will relace the stock files.

you'll need to find the Launcher2.apk from the Rom you use. just extract the Rom and search the extracted folder: /system/app . once you find the apk file, you'll need to push it to /system/app on your phone via adb or the Su file manager (available in market)

I did the same thing...
I have a Milestone 3 (Brazilian Droid 3) and after installing a new home screen, i deleted the standard motoblur home screen (not without a backup of course). I didn't know that a factory reset don't reinstall the standard programs of Motoblur, so now i have a handset without launcher.
I can't access by ADB, due the factory reset deleted my predefined configurations and I can't access the market to download a launcher.
The only thing I have is the lock screen, the notification bar and a black screen below the bar. When i plug the USB i have the options to access the Motorola Phone Portal, USB, Windows Media Link and Charge only.
I tried to find the base rom to reinstall, but i couldn't find. Tried to find a shortcut to use by the keyboard, and got the same result.
I'll keep trying to find a way, and if anyone could help us i'll be glad.
Thanks

I would have hoped that the OP has managed to get his phone working after a year and a half.
Have you tried using the desktop android market to push a launcher to your phone?

worked perfect for the camera thanks ..now is there anyway i can overwrite some of the apps or somehow remove the protection on them so i can install and not get the error message application not installed

[Q] Properly installing a multi window mod on xxlsc roms

So this is probably a stupid question, but the problem hes really been bugging me, recently with the release of the xxlsc roms many mods have been pubioshed to install mods for multi window. Now when ever I install a mod for multi window I get problems. I suppose I do know how the flash a mod, because I am able to install the black & white mod for the status bar. But whenever I install a mod for multi window (I have tried the unlimited apps mod and the multi instance app) I end up at the galaxy note boot screen and the phoen does not continue to boot... I did once fix permisscoins and cleared cache, but then I would get to the samsung boot logo and screen for a while, before returning to the galaxy note boot screen with "galaxy note n7000" written in b&w on the screen. I have tried this with cassie's rom, jzo64k's rom and alliancerom and all failed. So what I am doing wrong and how are you guys installing the mods?

instead of flashing , try replacing the mod files manually using root explorer.
open the zip you want to flash and look up for the folders in it. (eg app or lib or framework). in each of the folders there will be files that you will need to add or replace in the respective folders of the phone,
before replacing, copy the original files so that if there are FCs then you can get back to the original files. replace the files and set the permissions to rw-r--r--

Make sure the mods are for xxlsc and not xxlsa and make sure u have full root

Replacing Sony's apps

I'm looking for a way to replace the system apps with their AOSP counter part.
E.g. dialer, email, contacts etc.
Does someone know if it's possible for all apps or are their any problems to be expected?
And second question, is there probably a flash able zip for this?

I'd be curious to know as well. Coming from a Nexus device I hate Sony's attempts to "improve" the basic apps like dialer and messaging. They all look like they were designed in 1998.

That should be possible....

I think at the moment there is no available zip. You need CWM for your idea - do you have your phone rooted ?
If so there should be a possiblity to create such a flashable zip , that erase the not needed apps and install the new apps...
If your phone is not rooted maybe a batch file could do the trick via ADB for you - in a first step it should block the not wanted apps and in a second step it should install the new apps.
So you need the Names of the packages / apps that should be erased and before that, you should find the AOSP-Apps that run on the Z3C.

Yes it's rooted.

I would be happy too, to replace the dialer & contact apps with AOSP ones.
Regarding messaging, i'm using this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.slvn.mms

Collecting of required information
Hi folx,
in this post i try to get all required information to replace the not wanted SONY stuff by the desired stuff mostly AOSP.
Your phone should be rooted and CWM should be installed.
Then we have to build a fitting flashable zip file.
But to succeed we fist need to test if the wanted apps will work on our phone. (i will test for example: Dialer from CM11)
If these Apps work, then we should have a deeper look on the creating of such a flashable.zip file. I have found a lot of howtos in the web. But to be sure we should backup those SONY-Apps
Here are 2 links i would use:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764533 this can also be useful
The updater - script within this zip-file could be adjusted to our needs. Deleting the not wanted Sony.apps from /system /app and replace them with the wanted Apps. If i find the time i could provide such a file - but i can't test it.
The simple Trick:
But you could do it more simple - you just need a root explorer (i prefer ES File Explorer). Go to the above mentioned folder /system/app or system/private. There you should find the not wanted apps. Just copy them in a backup folder on your sdcard, delete the sony apk in the system - partition, copy your desired apk in the folder, where you have deleted the Sony-apk, give the right permissions and then reboot.
If the new app fails - just delete it in the same manner as described above and copy the backupped app in the corresponding folder and check the permissions again. - reboot.
I would really appreciate posting your results and if there are any further questions.... do not hesitate - we are all here to learn and get our phone better
Cheers

I probably have time to test this on the weekend.
I'll let you know how it goes.

I copied over Contacts, Contacts Prvovider and the Dialer apks.
However I couldn't get them to work.
Neither the Contacts nor the Dialer app showed up in the app drawer.
Email didn't work either.

Deskclock works fine. I'd love dialler to work...

P30 Android 10.168 stock Gallery app problem

Has anyone problem with the stock Huawei gallery app after update to android 10?
[url=https://ibb.co/SXpLg4Z]

Im facing a problem with thumbnails in 2 albums in gallery app that shows up like black squares... (not the same photos everytime) If i click photo to open its working great with no problem...
I have try everything (clear many times cache and data from gallery app, delete photos and copy them again, try new version of gallery app with my second China Huawei id but nothing helps every time I open gallery app i see some black squares from different photos every time...I have try many deferent 3rd party gallery apps from playstore with no problem at all but i prefer the stock gallery app
I have install 10.168 with dload on my ELE-L29C431 (P30 no P30 pro) with clean install after instalation...
I haven't received 10.173 yet...
Now if i try to re-install 10.168 from e-recovery can't find any rom and gives package error...
Edit... I re download and install 10.168 version again...Nothing the same problem again....

Use a file manager and show hidden files and folder, then navigate to DCIM folder and delete the .thumbnail folder there. It will regenerate the thumbnail. Maybe it'll fix it.
