[Q] I accidentally deleted my Touchwiz app. (Home screen app) What to do? - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

i reverted my phone from Creeds ROM back to stock ROM and installed merruks and restored all my apps using Titanium backup. I used my Link2SD apps and deleted some useless default phone apps. I saw an app called Creeds Home. i know that app is the home screen of Creeds and now that i'm in stock rom... i assumed that this Touchwiz home app thingy will be useless so i deleted it. when i pressed back button.... i can't see anything. its just black. but i can pull my notification bar. so i concluded that when i deleted that apk (creeds home) i actually deleted my home screen plugin or what. )) How would i fix this? T___T how can i put another home screen for this. i cannot open my app drawer so i cannot install an apk. I can only boot into download mode and CWM @[email protected] HELP! what should i do?!

Just try re-flashing your stock rom, restore from titanium, and be more careful deleting

okay. i will try that. thank you

Here is a more smarter way to recover:
When you click home button you get a force close and report option .. Click report and then scroll down for some privacy policy terms option and click it.. It opens browser and takes you to Google legal.. In browser type Google play..click play.google.com..it shows a pop up of Internet or play store app.. Click play store and click search and type go launcher or any other free launcher.. Install it and there you go you got a home launcher.. Now restore touch wiz back by pushing it to system/app

there are so many ways to do that..
you can also try to extract the stock launcher via a computer and push via adb

Thank you for that suggestion sir but since i don't have my home screen, i can't go to the menu or settings or browser or google play. i can't pick any button on the screeen ) i have thought of that method but i realized that i can't use any app since i can't see anything. I have solved my problem by reflashing my DXLC1 firmware by Doky Thank you so much for your concern

You are quite welcome sir. Glad to hear it worked out

Axura rom and no home button?

hi guys, this is my first time ever installing a ROM and everything worked out fine except 1 thing..
so heres what i did...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468
installed that rom, using the video tutorial, and now i have the axura rom...
but the problem is.. unlike on the video when i first installed the rom it didnt give me options of home replacers, it just came up with launcher pro
so i said what the hell? i was gonna use launcher pro anyways... so i didnt do anything for a while..then i noticed when i pressed my home key it did... nothing.
so i thought it might be launcher pro
so i went in the app drawer and saw zeno or zepo something like that.. and knew that was a home replacement so i clicked that..
now i cant find launcher pro on the app drawer, and.. home button still doesnt work.
any suggestions please?
Just Reflash.
Download "Home Switcher" from the Market. Then you can easily switch between any installed Launcher at will.

[ROM][BETA] cTouch Project - No Phone, Just Captivate.

cTouch
By Sepherian
No Phone, Just Captivate
Info: I have removed most of the phone files from the following ROM(s) to turn them basically into a cTouch (captivateTouch)
Phone Files I have Removed: Phone, Messaging, Modem, and any Icons related to a signal has been degraded to ONE pixel. Looks pretty goood.
Directions to flash:
1: NANDROID BACKUP
2: Download your ROM to your SD Card
3: Reboot into recovery, wipe data + cache
4: Install the rom
5: If Rom bootloops retry step 4
6: Prophet?
How I will be updating:
I will evolve the method I use to edit and Build these ROM(s) over time. So they will be labeled by V2 or V3, and the name of the rom will remain the same.
Also, the ROM(s) will update shortly after the developer updates it. (About a week or so)
CM9 and 10 (if they end up being supported) will be updated when I feel like it.
Rom(s) Built so far: (Please read all three posts before downloading)
Superbean 2.8.17 Built by Nygfan760 Download: Click here
If you donate to me, put your xda name and a rom you would like cTouch-inized in the memo and I will put it at the top of my list to finish (even before updates)​
Fixes:
For ALL:
Apply Airplane mode AT ALL TIMES. If it is on you should see a little CT in your notification bar. If it is off, your antenna will be on and wasting your battery. For no reason because you don't want this phone as a phone.
Bugs:
For SuperBean:
If you go to Mobile Network settings, the application will crash. This will happen if you long-press airplane or data toggles because those settings are under Mobile Data
And again...
First!

Works pretty well, although the phone app still exists. There are force closes from phone storage on boot. I was going to install titanium but there is no play store. Not very useful without it. I will try grabbing the latest jellybean gapps and pull the play store from that.
----------
Edit: pulled latest gapps for jb from cm wiki. Installed PhoneSky.apk and play store works like a charm. Why in the hell is it called PhoneSky? Backed up, froze, and un installed phone/messaging storage and have no more force closes from it. Did the same to Guard since it handles call and sms blocking, and also com.android.smspush. Everything is working well, going to figure out how to get rid of the phone app now.
----------
Edit 2: As I'm sure you've already figured out, the Phone "app" is just an intent sent to the Contacts app, and I don't think removing contacts would be a good idea...I did find this though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5812909/removing-android-phone-app

If this ROM is based off of MIUI.... perhaps just CM10/AOKP with no phone functions? I'm looking to turn my phone into a mini tablet/music player for my brother when i get a new phone.

Yeah, I'm running into the same problem.
What Rom are you running, and does it only happen under certain conditions?
I'm running
LiquidSmooth Rom (4.2.2 - It seems super stable, only 2 total problems with it)
CodeFireX .62 or .64, I don't remember
NOS Tweak Package v0.4.5_r1 (was having same problems before this; it actually improved my battery life somehow )
HTC MyTouch 4g/Glacier (Obviously, since I'm posting here, but I figured I'd say so just in case)
Anyways, the problem I'm running into is that I can't get the backlight to stay off after locking the phone.
I lock it, then after ~7seconds the backlight comes back on.
Also, this has happened on each 4.2.x rom I've tried
I read somewhere that messing with the settings/app killers can help, but no change from that. I've also tried setting my backlight to all the way off, as well as full, and the brightness doesn't change while the screen is off.
I can try to make a LogCat of it later, though.

Ehh, I am too really - everyone's gotta start somewhere though!
Anyways, what it means is that you can't just take the nos_whatever.zip file and flash it from the recovery, you have to actually open the app called Terminal Emulator (can be found on the market, needs root) and install it from there.
The instructions on how are all in the readme inside the .zip file, just follow those and you'll be fine.

I was having the same 2 issues beforehand (Backlight coming on while the phone is locked, and cell signal dropping after I miss a call until I turn airplane mode on->off)
Also, I noticed that at least in my case my phone seems much less likely to turn the backlight back on if I'm not doing anything in the background such as listening to music. I'm pretty sure that's only been working today though, not sure why...

Ok, I may do just that. Will backing up and restoring what I have with TitaniumBackup break anything, so I don't have to reinstall everything?

No shouldn't break anything
And install 4ext before you reinstall just download 4ext recovery controlled.apk and flash it with that app very easy and the u.I is better

Hmm, it looks interesting - and having a touch recovery would help remove a major pain in the rear - but I'm completely broke and I can't seem to find the list of differences between the paid controller version and the free updater; would you still recommend the free version?
Yeah I'm using the free version.....PS put the name.apk into Google and u get any app

I'll be getting a little bit of money soon, so I'll just buy it when that comes in.
Anyways, I just did a full system wipe (each of CWM's wipes, as well as the DarkUnicorn wipe script ((since it was on my SdCard already)) but I'm still having the backlight issue.
Haven't even installed a single app yet; still trying to connect to the store to get TitaniumBackup.
Any other ideas?
PS) Still planning on making a LogCat, not sure if it'll help though

It's a huge battery drain, and my biggest problem at the moment; any ideas would be most appreciated
lol actually I found out the problem. After I extracted it, ES File Explorer made a folder on my sdcard called "sdcard" with the install file in it. And I was stupid and ignored the fact that it should be on the root of the sdcard. Whoops lol.

Unable to click install button from apk file

I am currently running the latest paranoid android Rom on my nexus 4 using Franco's milestone 2 kernel. I am having problems installing apps that I downloaded (e.g., Adobe flash update). What happens is I can see the installation screen with the different permissions, but I cannot click on the install button. It works when I install apps from the play store but not through root browser, astro, es explorer. I have tried other apks to make sure it's not just that one file. As well, I had even removed those dimmer apps like twilight and lux before installing. I also stopped the running applications and then tried installing. I'm stumped and I have no idea what to try next. Maybe there is another uncommon app that I need to uninstall before installing off my card...
If anyone has any suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated.
