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?

Ok so I uninstalled the swype using titanium backup, then download the newer version from here:
getandroidstuff.com/2010/08/swype-keyboard-in-19-languages-for.html
Then using both the default file manager and astro to install but even after the uninstallation and a reboot and I cant seem to see swype anywhere in the phones installed app list, it still say "Replace application, the app you are installing will replace another app" How can it replace something that isnt there. And after the installation is done, it said "application not installed". There is no swype under my "text and locale" setting either. tried both the HVGA and WVGA version, same thing. Any idea? :/

Swype is a system app, it can't be removed so easily. You have to remove /system/app/Swype.apk, then remove /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.swype (if it's there, maybe titanium removes it) .
Then you copy your downloaded apk to /system/app renamed to Swype.apk and only then try to install it, from the downloaded folder.
ok thanks, I just needed to change the name of the file to simply swype.apk for it to work
we need a better way than FW updates to update Swype and a very manual process, am I missing something?
I followed the instructions given above, tried with both of the swype versions mentioned above and a newer version (Swype_v2_6_47_11856).
The installation goes without any problems, however once I select swype as input method it goes haywire and needs to be force closed every 10 seconds.
I'm using Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Do I need to use a different method to install Swype?
And which version of swype might be best to use?
I wanted to install it because Swype does come with a Russian alphabet version.
titanium backup will let you integrate any new version of Apps that is already installed in ROM back into the ROM
Cool, thanks !!
One snag though, I deleted the old version of swype like explained in the second message.....how can I fix that first?
the newer swype version will make a forced close after boot because u did not cut the libswype.so (or st like that) from your /system/lib/ folder when you removed your stock swype version. I had the same problem before and solved it by just removing that file by cutting and pasting it into another folder for backup.
You have to remove system/lib/libswypecore.so
After that, just push the new swype.apk to /system/app
and then push the new libswypecore.so to /system/lib
Edit: Or flash with CWM ;D
Assistance required please:
I deleted the original Swype and then have downloaded WVGA 2.10.52.13753. I've deleted /system//lib/libswypecore and then run the SWYPE SVGA 2.10.XXXX.apk.
When I then try to use it I get the message "The application Swype (process com.swype.android.input mehod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
After switching teh phone off and back on, I still get this continuously.
I am running my SGS on 2.2 which is Froyo .XXJPO with root and OCLF. What am I missing?
I also note that niXXoz talks about pusing, what is this? I've tried copy and paste but when I get up to the lib and app level the paste option disappears. Could be completely inconsequential but thought I'd ask.
Really look forward to any help that you can lend.
Thanks

Did you try using Swype Installer?
Uninstalling swype generally goes this way:
with some explorer able of browsing root:
- dig into system/app and delete swype.apk
- dig into system/lib and delete libswype (and anything with swype in the name)
Go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register or login. Follow the instructions, it will envolve opening a link in your phone, downloading swype installer, picking the correct version of swype for you and let it work it's magic. You'll have swype installed by the end of it. Some kind of fast wireless access on your phone is very recomended.
Whenever i had swype installing problems, the trick was always deleting libswype files before trying a new install.
The only thing against this method is that you'll get the latest swype available. Which i believe it works far worse than the older ones available in any smasung stock rom (for my language, at least)
swype install
thats the 1 mate, we got it working, superb
now this sh*t is workin again

Is it possible to install the samsung keypad on ICS?
I tried to restore a version of the keyboard using titanium backup. I also tried copying the apk I had in Gingerbread by using root explorer and pasting the apk in /system/app/, and update the permissions to rw-r--r-- (same as other apps).
I am mostly after the handwriting recognition built in the keyboard. I am using go keyboard at the moment, but it seems the handwriting recognition is limited to chinese only.
Just installed [AOKP]Galaxian-Soup[GT-7310/7300][r2.1][03.27.2012].
Wanted to get back some of the Samsung apps I had on stock, things like Allshare, Samsung Apps, etc.
Is it possible?
Bump........
I just flashed the ROM you mentioned, and it seems there is a conflict between samsung apps and the ROM (or all ICS ROMs?)
I tried restoring Polaris Office with Titanium Backup but the app FCs shortly after opening. I'll try restoring something else to see if it's a unique problem (I highly doubt it) or if most of the samsung apps have this problem.
Most Samsung apps (including Polaris) have libs in system/lib folder. Without those libs it surely doesn't work. Some apps have dependencies in other system libs and thats why they don't work on ICS.
