So i rooted my phone using Gingerbreak. 2 weeks ago I installed Launcer Pro and deleted Home.apk from system/apps. Everything went fine till this morning when I accidentally uninstalled Launcher PRO (meaning I'm left with no homescreen). When i turn on the phone, it boots but it stops on the Sony Ericsson screen (the one with the logo). It doesn't continue from there. I need to reinstall Home.apk in system/apps but how do i that? It doesn't even boot properly. What do i do now?
Are you able to access anything through ADB?

Another user did this, said he fixed it by holding search key which allowed him do a voice search for 'Market' which then opened the market app. downloaded a Launcher and problem was solved.
Hope that helps.
problem is, the phone stops at Sony Ericsson logo at boot then nothing else, so Search button solution ain't the key.. fixed it anyway thru SEUS, bad thing is that I had to remove over again all the stupid bloatwares they injected on the phone.. thanks for the replies anyway! people here at XDA rocks!

Just install it and follow the instructions. It will wipe all your data though.
Edit: Sorry I can't read apparently XD
I did this and had to use SEUS, sorry.

I just recently rooted my Evo 2.2 using unrevoked 3 and now when I try and delete system apps using the Titanium backup app then phone reboots. Can anyone tell me whats going on, am I really rooted?
im prettt sure this is normal. When I delete system apps my phone basically looks like its doing a hot restart. It doesn't shut all the way down it just kinda resets the system. The reason being, in order for those apps to not show up on your phone anymore it needs to be rebooted. If it doesn't reboot there basically still on the phone so like if u uninstall flash 10.1 and without rebooting try and install a hex edited version of flash, it won't install until the phone is reset or rebooted. So I think your ok. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks I appreciate it. I will give it a try.
Alright this has been driving me mad for a while now and there doesn't seem to be an active thread with a solution to this.
Every once in a while when i boot up my phone will have problem loading widget. So i moved them back to phone for the ones that mattered and tried to select the widget again from the menu. Well they're not there any more. and even after a reinstall and reboot boot the programs don't show in the widgets section.
Has anyone had this issue and/or have a fix for it?
Thanks,
Urzu
What ROM? When you set the install location to automatic, widgets should install the the phone by default (which is where all widgets need to be installed, or you get errors when loading the widget). To be safe, I would set the install location to phone, then reinstall the widgets and see where that gets you... This is of course assuming you are running a ROM that allows for this.

after installing the custom zip and pressing reboot in xrecovery options,
my phone is stuck at the Sony Erricson logo, and auto reboots, get stuck at there and repeats the process again.
can anyone help? please!
i havent tried any thing because im not really familiar with this.. please help anyone!
i am still able to get into xrecovery by pressing the back button and i cleared the dalvik cache, still does not work.
help please!
now after continious restarts it is stuck at the Sony erricson logo, not auto restarting anymore...
stuck at sony erricson.. help?
edit
im really desperate need to resolve this asap omg im panicking..

i remember using the backupandrestore app from sonyerricson to backup my data in 1.6 android before updating to 2.1
that is the only backup i have but i cant access even the home screen thus i cannot go into that backupandrestore app to restore my phone...
help please! someone!
Repair your phone(PCC or SEUS)
The same thing happened to me. I tried to enable JIT and now the reboot keeps looping. I can't access xRecovery, and when I try to repair the system PC Companion says that no software available for my phone yet. (I don't really understand why it says yet.)
I'm a noob and I'm now panicking.
What should I do?
i tried repairing with SEUS but my phone just wont connect whenever it asks me to press the back button T_T
I managed to get back the 1.6 system to my phone with the flasher by bin4ry. It has started repairing at first.
Now I'm relieved.

Just Install SE Update Service and follow the steps. It will say that you allready have newest softeare but you just click install. wait for installation to finish.
unplug the phone and power the phone.
after 2 min, phone working.
same thing happened to me after i installed JiT
i do not know why and therefore i can not have Jit
i think i might know the answer
does jit fail on phones with a lot of sotftware installed?
on a fresh phone after a flash or a restore i think it always works
I have recently rooted and installed CM7 RC1 on my MyTouch 4G everything seemed to be going well for the first about 30 mins i got gapps installed (manually btw) but suddenly after the phone started to install apps from the android marketplace i can no longer long press on the home screen nor can i move widgets i can still feel the haptic feedback but no response.
Sounds like a bad install, reinstall clear all user data, cache, dalvik-cache and fix permissions before booting back up.

Thanks ill try that right now and come back with any other issues. That presist after re-install.
Also wanted to state that for installing Gapps i had to do it the Manual way if that matters or if anybody is having trouble installing them.

No i mean instead of having RomManager do it i did it manually in recovery.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I never do anything important like that in rom manager, always boot into recovery.

i had that same problem and it was a simple fix on my part. i actually had accidently hit lock desktop under the more menu on the desktop screen. u can long press and nothing happens or cant move widgets while the desktop is locked. try seeing under the desktop menu if it is locked if so unlock it and that should work. hope this helps some
Hello everybody. It looks like someone gave me an almost dead phone; x8 without a launcher.
I don't know how he managed to delete it but when i power on the phone, it only shows the notification bar with signal and battery. everything else is just "gone".
So, how can I make it work again ? the phone is unrooted and the menu is inaccessible to me ...
Thanks in advance.

You can just repair it with PCcompanion or flash stock ROM with flashtool.

Have you tried to make a flashable zip with a launcher like launcher pro?
maybe there is no launcher app, if you install one via ADB Shell or Flashable ZIP you can maybe solve this
Phone is NOT rooted.... ur screwd. Rescue it by SEUS, but you will lose your apps and settings.

Hi,

install or move to /sistem/app and make the permisions
you can use X10FlashTool to install any launcher (not move it to system/app)
install any launcher and then install root explorer, use root explorer, copy the file to system/app, fix the permission like this:
V V

Don't want to root? Download Update Service from SE and install it. After that, open it and do the steps. Dont forget to backup your data!
Say thanks button if i helped you
I've had this problem one. Just follow the PC Companon instructions and you'll be fine, trust me!
Sign in your Google account.Enter market.Install any launcher.Wait for phone to receive and install.Press HOME on phone.Choose launcher.
how do you wan to add google account if you can't launch anything ?
I meant enter market through PC.
Does this phone have a custom recovery and ROM? If so just flash the recovery in fastboot from a PC and then use recovery to flash a rom.
Boot phone in to fastboot, plug it in to the computer, open command prompt(assuming you have SDK set-up) and navigate to the recovery.img path and type
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img)
Then use the recovery to flash your ROM.
I did the same thing to my last phone. Factory data reset with no launcher in system. Find it hard to believe its not rooted.

Just download a Launcher .apk, and install it with "adb install 'Launchername'.apk

Install Luncher.apk or Flash it to stock with FlashTool
The Web market solution seems to be the simplest one. Install ADW or launcherpro though it.
