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?

Widgets not loading after reboot

ive uninstalled and reinstalled, ive closed down adw launcher and relauncned but nothing.
im also noticing that after installing widgetlocker from the market it disapears on reboot as well.
this all started happening after i pushed some smoked widget replacements and edited the drawable file on widgetlocker to include my own slider
i think there might be a problem with the apks...maybe i need to sign them myself or something? im not sure if that would be the problem....any suggestions?
im rooted on CM 6.1

All widgets, or just the ones you messed with?
As for WidgetLauncher, about every 6-8 weeks (ie: when I reboot) it seems like I recall it doesn't come up quite right from reboot, but if I launch it manually it's fine after. Not sure if it's a timing thing or what.
And of course I'm sure you've made sure these widgets aren't using Froyo Apps2SD (not Apps2Ext, that's fine) because widgets don't play from SD.

all widgets whether i touched them or not.
they are all installed on internal memory (including widget locker)
ive been messing with it and i uninstalled widgetlocker..all my widgets loaded fine after i deleted and re did them. I reinstalled widgetlocker and everything works like normal...untill i pull the widgetlauncher apk...edit the drawable files...recompile as an apk and push to the phone. the new files i push dont show up, and then on reboot widgetlauncher is no where to be found on my phone. no icon in the app tray or anything.

so ive been messing around, and i think i fixed the problem. I used these instructions courtsey of Andrewst in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785081&highlight=widgetlocker
Method B - Manual copying via Root Explorer - for root user only
* Uninstall your current copy.
* Manual remove from /data/app if you can't uninstall manually.
* Copy my MOD copy to /system/app via root explorer.
* Before copying, make sure click the Mount R/W button for write access in root explorer.
* Set permission to rw--r--r
* Restart the phone.
* Open up your WidgetLocker, goto Settings -> Look & Feel -> Slider & Layout and choose iPhone.
so far so good....

i might have spoke too soon....looks like the widget are failing to load again...hmmmm

[Q] LG Home widgets on custom launcher

Hi,
Is there some way to use the LG Home widgets with other custom launchers? I love the Music and messaging widgets, but the launcher sucks. I want to use these widgets on GO Launcher..

No way,maybe you could make other choice.

Same problem here...on my optimus dual it is possible (even if the weather animation is not working anymore). On my girlfriend's Optimus Black, it is not possible to find the original widgets once you launch Go Launcher. I can't figure out why. But i noticed that it happens even on other widgets downloaded from the market. Folders problem maybe? I hope that someone help us.

LG widget is only available on LG Launcher.
Other downloaded widget must be available on all launcher (if they are compatible with the launcher)

it's possible with appwidgetpicker (search apk and guide on xda)
i use 1.2.0 version and with adw launcher i can use all the lg widget

Do you use it on the Optimus Black phone? I noticed that this phone has a different menù for widget\background etc... selection. Do you confirm that this app will work without any issues with the existing menù? Please let us know. Usually i don't like to put things in the system folders, especially because i don't know how easy will be to recover this phone after a brik. (i have an Optimus Dual, and it is really easy to fix with nVflash)...

please give us instructions, I can't paste the file to c/system/app!!!!!!!!

Here are the instructions to do it..
1. ROOT
If you haven't already rooted it, do it using the Gingerbreak.apk.
2. INSTALL TERMINAL
Go to Market, download and install the Android Terminal Emulator app.
3. MOUNT FILESYSTEM AS R/W
Open the Terminal Emulator app and enter the following commands
Code:
$ su
Grant super user permissions.
Code:
# cat /proc/mounts
This will print a whole lot of stuff on the screen. Search for /system and note the mount point. Mine is /dev/block/mmcblk0p8. Now enter the following command.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 [B][COLOR="DarkRed"]/dev/block/mmcblk0p8[/COLOR][/B] /system
4. DOWNLOAD AppWidgetPicker.apk
Google for the file and download it.
5. COPY APK
Copy the AppWidgetPicker.apk to /system/app using Root Explorer or any similar app.
Don't forget to set the correct permissions for the copied file.
Also note that the filesystem remounts to R/O after reboot.
Hope this helps

[HELP] Deleted gallery and camera - no backup

Hello,
somehow i maganed to deleted stock camera and gallery aplications (by Titanum Backup), unfortunetly i don't have any backups avalible so i can't undone this. I have installed new camera from Nexus - but it's missing some functions i need. Now i am unable to set a lock screen wallpaper, and can't even have good quality wallpaper (new gallery aplication is unable to crop images or make sliding wallpaper).
Can anyone tell me if i can install the old one camera and gallery application? Is anyone able to upload them from their device and tell me how to install them? (i belive it's not as simple as .apk files).
Im using Galaxy Note GT-N7000 with 4.1.2 Android (rooted).
Sry for my english, but i really hope someone can help!

what rom are you on right now? you cannot install stock cam and gallery app on a aosp roms

You're on stock rom or custom rom?.. Simply reflash your rom.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk HD

Download and install this.
It should give you the most recent version of the android gallery / camera

Im using stock rom - can I reflash it? Not sure how to do this, and am i going to lose any data by doing this?
Im using now - com.google.android.gallery3d.apk, but it dosen't let me choose custom lock screen wallpaper and has probles with croping images or slinding wallpaperes. That's why i want to use stock galery apk.
Or maybe there is some other way to choose lock screen wallpaper?
When trying now, i can only choose lock screen wallpapers from "wallpapers" catalog, there is no option to choose the image from gallery.

Just download and extract these two apks. Use any root explorer apps and copy this to system/apps folder in root of your directory. Give proper permission 'rw–r–r' and reboot. This should get you back your camera and gallery

Can I remove Qslide apps?

I'm running v10c stock firmware, debloated and tweaked. Anyone know how can I remove it?

Yes, root the phone, install link2sd and you will be able to remove all the system apps.

I'm really sorry, I didn't realize just how unspecific I was. What I meant was: in systemUI, I want to remove the qslide shortcuts that are on the drop-down notification drawer, and not the apps.

drop down the menu and slide all the way to the right side where is the edit button.
in there uncheck the qslide and you are done, you can also choose what else to show in the dropdown menu there or even change which appears first, second etc
