I was using sgs tools, and I updated my touchwiz launcher, but now my gps will not find my location... I was told I need to return to the stock launcher, but i cannot find it anywhere and when i go into sgs tools in my sd card and try to got to restore launcher, it only wants to open in to a document form....
anyone know how to get back to original launcher?
GPS has absolutely nothing to do with the launcher. Uninstall SGS Tools, and wipe data. If you still can't get a location, Odin.

Same thing happened to me too. First I changed back to the original setting in SGSTools (american pool), then rebooted. Installed and ran "GPS Aids" from market, and now it works again.

I rooted the other day and am running CM6 on my Evo. I don't much like ADW launcher, so I installed Launcher Pro. Every time I reboot my phone it defaults back to ADW. So today, I decided to buy Root Explorer and delete the APK for ADW in my system/apps folder, along with a couple other apps that I don't use. Without doing much research (drinking), I proceeded to delete some APKs. My phone will now not boot. It is stuck on the boot animation (which is beautiful).
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can fix this issue? I promise to never delete anything again, and stop drinking.
Thanks!

Yeah hold the volume down +power button while the phone is off till you get to the white screen and select recovery.
reflash from there.

well what you should have done is:
1. don't delete something if you don't know what it is
2. simply go to menu>settings>apps>manage apps>adw launcher and hit clear defaults
now to fix it... boot into recover wipe everything and re-flash
HAHA yes thank you. I forgot about my nandroid. Extended memory loss is one of the greatest side effects.
So do you know the proper way to remove apps using root explorer? Or will CM6 trip out if I touch any of its preloaded apps? Thanks for the help

I understand this. I did read to delete the apk in the system/apps folder on multiple articles. It's a completely legit way to remove apps according to many people.
And of course I tried to clear ADW's defaults, if that worked I wouldn't be trying to delete it. It starts whenever it wants to despite me telling it not to.

Luckily I see this thread. I also accidently uninstall launcher and the home screen become blank. The method u give is work, but the phone must be in situation still connect to internet.
I wonder if the phone not able to connect to internet at that time , then how to do? Can push the launcher apk from computer ?
If you have a signal(mobile or wifi) this should work...
both mobile and wifi are off.
Problem solved now!! Thanks for the help!
I sent the apk file from martket.android.com
and turned on the wifi!! only the display was not there, everything was like before, so i just imitated and pressed the correct button lol!
i have the same problem
i have the same problem now
but i use defy data manager so it can't download on 3g and i can't push it from the market to my phone
i want any launcher in zip format
if anyone has the official stock launcher that'd be great
pepo36: restart phone to recovery and reinstall CM from SD card. You will not lose any data.
i dont have CM
i have the stock rom installed and this is why i was removing Go launcher to get back my stock launcher but for some reason the stock launcher is missing
any other ideas ?
i have clockwork recovery and i can install a zip from sd card....i'm trying to search for any launcher i can setup through recovery only to be able to use my phone

Here recently, when I use telenav navigation it will start to navigate for a little while and then it will just stop and turn off by itself. It does this on every Rom I have tried in the past month. I'm currently running the jackpot Rom. I like telenav over Google as well, so I would like to see if someone knows how to fix it. I've even tried uninstalling and down loading straight from the market and it does the same thing.

Fix permissions.
Sent from my Motorola StarTac magically running ICS
Try wiping Cache and Dalvik then fixing permissions... Fastest way you can do all of that from AmonRa recovery then reboot
Tried that through amon, I also tried fixing permissions through Rom manager.and that didn't fix it either. When I open telenav, I can choose a route and then it will say getting route. Then when I hit navigate, it will start to give me the directions then it will just shut off.

Are u restoring through titanium or a fresh market install. Have u tried deleting the data folder for telenav off of your SD? Have u tried the ##GPSCLRX#
Just a few suggestions. Good luck.

I tried restoring through titanium backup but that did not work. I also tried doing a fresh download from the market and it will work for a little while until I open it again, then it will stop working. I went from MikG to the updated Energy ROM so in doing so I partitioned my SD card wiping everything off and wiping everything before installing Energy, then it did the same thing. So when Karma Jackpot came out I went to that, again, clearing everything off my SD card and doing a fresh install......and it does the same thing. I can run an old version of telenav with no problems at all. I cant figure out what to try next.....What is the ##GPSCLRX#? I may try that and see what happens.
Hey Randy try this fix

I just deleted the telenav folder and uninstalled telenav.....then I did the ##GPSCLRX# trick. Rebooted phone and downloaded telenav from the market. Turned on GPS and opened telenav. Accepted the terms and it started downloading the files and got to 12% and cut off....it did this 2 times. Finally it downloaded all the files and it started up. I punched in a location near my home to see if it will work. It found the location and said "getting fastest route", then it just shut off. CRAP! I can do TB to the older version and it works, but I really want to get the new version working as I like it better than google maps. By the way, my wifes phone is not rooted and it works perfect.....pisses me off!

Well, flashed the fix above, rebooted phone then tried it again.........still cuts off. I dont get it.
probably need full wipe x3, reflash ROM, let it settle about 10 min then try again. it works for me most of the time...good luck
Try that method Badjoe suggested... Go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING with the EXCEPTION of your Secure Digital Card... And just for good meassures you can even reflash your Rom. The Only downside to all that is that you'll have to start all over again but your GPS problem will very likely be fix and you can be on your way.
I wiped cache and dalvick cache 3 times and reflashed the ROM. Telenav now works. Thanks button hit for both of you. Thanks guys! :good:
I was previously running ff18 but when I updated to fi27 after I reboot my phone any new widgets I add disappear. I cant figure out what's wrong.
I've tried to go back to ff18 and the problem there doesn't exist. when I go back to fi27 any widgets added when I was on ff18 are there, but if I try to add widgets they'll disappear after I reboot.
Also whenever I reboot my phone I get the android is upgrading starting applications. It happens on every reboot.
I am rooted if that matters. I used the method from qbking77's video.
Someone please help me figure out how to fix this.
I use the preserve data option when updating to rooted fi27 btw

Sounds like you need a full wipe between builds.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I haven't tried to do that yet cause I'm scared of messing it up more or possibly bricking my device. Its an inconvenience to have to back up everything I need to.
If I do decide to wipe my phone, could I just use the restore option instead of the preserve data to wipe my phone?
I still haven't found a solution for this yet.
I did however flashed back to ff18 (where my widgets didn't disappear). I did a restore with odin. Then odin-ed to a fresh fi-27. I no longer get the android is updating on every boot, but my widgets are still disappearing!
I saw a post where someone said to make a backup with titanium backup and uninstall and reinstall using titanium backup. That didnt help.
any other recommendations?
I am having the same issue. I didn't notice it until after I finally stopped using Go Launcher & went to the stock Launcher ( NOT the TWLauncher by the way but the regular Launcher). If I go back to Go Launcher EX it keeps my widgets after reboot fine, but I like the stock launcher and want to use it instead of the laggy Go Launcher. Yours is the first post I'd found in my many Google searches that matched my issue & I'm relieved that I'm not the only one having this issue. I however do not have a rooted phone nor am I interested in doing any of that with this phone (I was really into that with my last phone but I just have no desire anymore for all that. I'm completely happy with the stock ICS experience if I can just get this Widget thing working). If anyone has any suggestions or fixes I'm all ears.
Thanks

I am having the same issue as well. Going to try reinstalling FI27 with a full data wipe and see if that helps the situation. Its really annoying that I'm losing my widgets after every reboot. I have the external battery pack so i am litterally rebooting everytime i switch to my new charged battery. I will let you guys know if the full data wipe of FI27 helps me if not we might be screwed until jelly bean gets here... but im not holding my breath

Ok, this worked for me. I went into recovery, wiped data/reset to factory defaults, also cleared delvik cache twice. I have to reinstall everything but i tested to make sure my widgets stayed and they do. Now I'll just be restoring from titanium backup. For the other user who is having the problem but isnt rooted i would suggest going into your setting and resetting your phone back to factory and see if that clears up the issue for you.

Before you go and reset to factory, please read sticky posts on the emmc data corruption bug.
I am completely stock and I lose my clock widget on stock launcher too after reboot.
I have the same problem. With stock fimware, without root...
after rebooting , the widgets dislocates, or disappearing..
This was the last I bought chinese "flagship killer...hahhhaa"
The gestures always works except when I need it..
This phone is a real disappointment to me...
I accidentally froze touchwiz with Titanium backup and now my phone wont boot past android is updating....starting apps screen. I the thought that if I reloaded the latest jelly bean through odin that it would fix the problem but it didn't as I am still stuck on the boot screen after re installing.
anyone have any ideas?

Yeah that's what I was thinking but was hoping that there was another way to get back into Titanium and unfreeze touchwiz. I was just playing around with Titanium and froze touchwiz and forgot to unfreeze before rebooting.
You could try to install full firmware package using ODIN. It should over-write everything (i.e. unfreeze touchwiz).

That's a good idea but I already did a factory reset.
I would have preferred to try your method first but its not the end of the world as I have stuff backed up it was more about getting everything set up again which is a pain but again not the end of the world. Thanks for the idea though I will keep that in mind if I ever do something stupid like this again
On the future, keep a second launcher installed and this will never happen again. Unless you freeze both launchers
I just went through this. And maybe this will help the next person searching for a solution.
I froze touch wiz in Titanium and could not boot. So I went to Google Play on my desktpop and logged in. Then installed "Smart Launcher". I had no idea if it was installing or not but on Google Play on my desktop it said "installed" so i did a battery pull and restarted into Smart Launcher. Then rebooted again to get the prompt which launcher Iwanted to use and I chose "touch wiz" and "don't ask me again"
thanks
