Whenever I'm in the applications menu > press the menu button > select SEARCH without a doubt it crashes, (but not into a reboot) kicks me out of the app menu and back to the home screen where I have to wait about 15 seconds for all the icons and widgets to reload before being able to do anything.
The phone was previously rooted until I foolishly updated to .621 and just until recently I was running the Nemus Launcher though I doubt that has anything to do with the current problem.
I searched both on XDA and on the internets but did't see anyone else having this issue though it could be my wording that's hindering the find.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

So here is what happened. I downloaded the full version of titanium backup from the app market and proceeded to follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bloatware to get a faster, more clean stock rom. I got to the "Home" item and checked in the normal applications menu from the home screen to see if there was a "Home" app of sorts. So I went ahead and froze it and kept going through the apps. Long story short I eventually found out I could not access the home screen and in my nerd rage I rebooted the phone only to find it would not go past the boot screen because it didn't have a "Home" to launch in to.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
if you can launch the voice command by double pressing home or long pressing search, say "market" and it will launch the market, where you can download a home launcher.

Hey thanks, that's a start! I found that I can get past the "red eye" boot screen if you will by sliding my invisible lock slider over. From there all I have is a black screen and then the notification blind. Unfortunately, your suggestions of accessing the market arent working for me. I had previously mapped my double press home to the dialer, and the long press search errors out giving me a "Connection Problem" pop-up with the options to speak again or cancel. I also notice that I am in flight-mode...

If you are comfortable with using adb, you could probably push an apk into /system/app
If you dig through the development sub-forum I am pretty sure there is a link to the stock system archives. You could push the original blurhome.apk

I have just learned how to do basic adb functions while rooting a co-worker's Milestone, so that won't be a problem. I'll try transfering that and see what happens. Thanks for the tips guys.
It's fixed now! I ended up fixing it by going through the Advanced Task Killer (Froyo edition), clicking on titanium backup, and hitting switch to option to go back into titanium. Thanks for the help
on home screen click the menu button --> manage apps
even on a newly reflashed phone,i found it would load infinitely the first time you run it and you would have to quit and reopen
otherwise,just let it circle until your battery drains out!
My phone does this also. Rooted and sideloaded on 4.1.83. Can't explain it.
I noticed that when I am inside the app drawer, when I press the menu button, a two second delay is there before the actual menu come out. I compared this to my S3 as well as to my Note 8 and this delay does not exist.
The menu button outside the app drawer, i.e. the home screen or other quick launch pages is very quick (no delay between pressing the menu button and the actual menu coming out).
I am rooted, JB 4.3, running Stock ROM Rogers MJ4, SM-N900W8 with TouchWiz launcher.
Any idea if this is a settings thing?
I was manually debloating after root and I am concerned that I might have disabled something that would reflect the delay in pulling out the menu inside the app drawer.
Any help would be appreciated.

go into svoice settings and disable open with menu button...see if that helps
I have done that already before my post. It did not affect the problem.

I'm running SACS TW ROM and for some reason when I long-press the HOME key, the application manager (recent apps) comes up, but disappears if I let go of the home button. It doesn't matter when I let go of home, it disappears. If I keep it held in, I can use the application manager fine, but as soon as I let go, it goes away. What could be causing this?
I have S-Voice turned off and I used Home2Shortcut to replace it with Google Now. Then I uninstalled Home2Shortcut to try to fix the issue, no luck. I also restored TW to defaults by clearing data and cache, no luck there either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It's S-Voice.
Disabling "Open via the home key" in S-Voice settings makes the app manager not stay open. When that's re-enabled, the app manager will stay open. Ridiculous.
hi there,
1. i notice that since my S5 which had LP installed, on S7e i cant use the menu button for menu actions cause it is always forces the recent app screen, when i use xda app on my S7e i cant seem to reply or add a new message because isted of showing me the menu of the thread if i press menu button it goes to recent or if i try to press a little longer it give me a notice that xda app does not support multy window.
no matter what i try i cant seem to use the button as menu. and i cant seem to find in settings how to turn it off or at least turn of multy window which will probably will help to use menu button as menu.
/ found a solution for that problem....its called multy window toggle for samsung from play store. stops the annoying multy window.
for the google now that keeps popping on home button just need to uninstall google app and force it to factory app and it wont pop by pressing home button.
2. also on my older S5 with LP i had the option to share media with my ADB streamer via nearby devices in the settings menu. once i open the nearby devices i had few option on which file to share and to which device. but now in the S7e i have the nearby devices but i cant seem to share media with my streamer no more, plus i dont see any option to share media except the on off button and small explanation text about the nearby thing.
for this issue i still didnt find any solution.
both S5 and S7e are stock, my S5 is rooted tho.
can anyone enlighten me about this. maybe i just missed something about both issues ?
thanks for helpers
