question about KIES JI6 updating and Launcher Pro

So I have read that you need to use your stock TW launcher to run the update through KIES mini. Does this mean that I have to uninstall launcher pro or simply switch to TW using hone switcher? My launcher pro home screens are highly customized and it would be a pain in the ass to start over. Thanks in advance.

When I apply the update I was using launcher pro in a stock phone, updated without any problems

You do not need to uninstall Launcher Pro, Just disable the Defaults under Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-LauncherPro & Clear defaults. Then Go into USB Settings, Select Kies. & Finally Go to Development and Check USB Debugging Mode. I can confirm this works on MS64Bit. Just run Kies Mini as Administrator to ensure no problems.. Now you have GPS fix.

True. Selecting Kies will automatically remove the check in debugging. It is not possible to use both.

Done. No sweat.

[Q] Enabling Market in UAE (Galaxy Tab)

I bought one from local carrier Etisalat, it has all the features working except the most wanted one "Market". I tried many ways to enable it but no success. Finally I am able to install the Market and can open it after some errors. But now once I select any app to install it shows downloading and then shows error in notification area "Download was unsuccessful, please try again". Please guys help me out of this issue.

Not sure if it will do any good. But try the market enabler. Maybe faking your carrier will help.

I tried this but this also needs a proper working market application.
In my case the app is not working properly.

Hey, mind me asking you which method did you use to get market? I'm not haveing any issues with market on my tab or desire
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I followed this blog methods:
"[How-To] Enable Android Market
SOLUTION 1
First option is by changing the region.
In the dialer do:
*#272*YOUR_IMEI#
This will bring up a little menu. Select XSG, install and you are ready to go.
!!!!Be warned though, this will do a factory reset and you will lose your apps and stuff.
!!!!If your going to try, backup everything.
Thanks Ayman07
SOLUTION 2
Procedure :
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here:
Transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the File manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work.
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues, do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
P.S (you might want to use the attached Vending.apk if the one that is on Galaxy Tab fails)
"
First procedure was not working and then tried 2nd one, Market get installed but not able to install any application. Always getting download unsuccessful error.

I tried that one, there is no XSG or any EU countries code. All are Middleast, turkey etc and I think in all of those market is disabled.
Guys please help me, this issue is pissing me off.

Kenya works, most of the countries there work, I got mine working on Tunisia I think.
now if you want arabic support as well, your going to need to flash the software to the newer UAE one which also has the Android Market

I am in Jordan.
I tried XSG and still have only free apps. I dont have KEN either.
I tried KSA , the Market icon went off... so I am back to XSG but still no paid Apps. just the free ones.
Any suggestions?
Wiz
P.S. Market Enabler did not work as well.

Market Enabler works only if you have rooted your device.

Thanks for your reply... I did install z4root and I had 2 options, permanent and temp. root.. I did the permanent root and tried market enabler (it keeps on saying: Huston, we've got a problem) then tried the temp. root and the same message appears.
When I used the *#272* method, I am currently on XSG and when I've connected my TAB to my PC it prompted me that there is an update, so I updated it and dont have a clue if my device is still rooted or not but yet again, market enabler is not working.
Thanks again for your help.

[Q] !!Urgent!!Need Help.launcherpro crashing on start..ned to go to seeting to reset

hello ,
can somebody please help ..I am using CM7 AmeriCanAndroid 051211 build and it happened may be due to my fault that i used the old data.img from the previous version. i set my launcher pro as default and it started crashing . I need to set it back to AWD Laucher so that i can atleast get the options to work on the problem.
The launcher pro is crashing but I am sure AWD launcher will work fine .. Please let me know a way to either go the the settings menu or any way where i can atleast start my phone.

download this
install it with droid exploer
press your home buttom
select awd
update it.
done.

thank-you much...

for future reference when something like this happens, you go into settings/applications/manage applications and search for the app you set to default, or the launcher app, open it and clear defaults, then in your case you press the home button and it will ask you again which launcher you want to use, and you could've selected AWD launcher.

so what if you can't access the phon's settings sincs everything just keeps crashing?

as a last ditch, you can boot to recovery and format the data partition. that has all of your settings so, you will have to go through the first run setup, but that should fix your problem if it's just a setting issue.
good luck.

Dont worry dear,
But u did nt mention which rom on your mobile?
Hope u cant access market also,
download launcher pro or ADW in computer and push that to your mobile phone via ADB,once your alternate home screen installed u could access yur new home screen,
You can search google or xda how to push an app to your mobile,
or factory reset (if already your device rooted, you can use 3 button combo and in the recovery menu you will find a factory reset) u will loose your datas like contacts , msg, etc
or flash a new rom this is the easiest one as per me, but we will loose your data like contacts , msg, etc
Hope this will solve,

[Q] Theme option missing

Hi people,
My LG G2 theme settings suddenly went missing when I restarted my phone, all the themes settings are gone. Don't even have the button for the themes.(Normally will have the themes option when you go to the display settings) I can't even use the knock on normally as if it's not the default launcher.
Need some help please.
Thank you.

Did you mistakenly delete the home launcher?
If so install this.

I'll give it a try right now, I don't know what happened, I just restarted my phone and everything was gone, no theme option and the double tap wouldn't work. Thank you so much for this, its downloading right now. I'll let you know if it works.

Didn't work, says "application not installed"

I had the same problem which is solved now.
just go settings >> general >> apps
Menu >> reset app preferences
Menu >> reset default apps.
hope that helps.

How do you locate your downloaded themes? and the original LG theme...
I have tried to access via file manager and deleted them all but still no luck...

This is generated by the optimus theme installation that updates part of your default basic theme.
The update of the theme generated an error because the theme is not compatible.
When you restart the phone the damaged theme is applied and this caused the issue you explain.
How to solve?
It's easy. Go to system settings > general > downloaded apps. Click on basic theme and choose uninstall updates, than restart the phone.
The problem is solved.
Hope it helps.
