Fix for Black/Blank Launcher Screen - LG Nitro HD

So, i have been quietly been looking over the forums and have noticed that alot of users have "accidentally" deleted/disabled/removed their stock LG Launcher (com.lge.launcher2). This causes you to swipe UP to unlock your screen and be presented with a blank black screen.
While everyone is freaking out/pulling out their hair/swapping phones with their local dealer, i have come up with a way to get back to a launcher and go from there. I am not saying this is a fix for the stock launcher, i am merely showing a way to get back to a launcher PERIOD, the rest is up to someone more qualified than I.
This is assuming you have Rooted your phone (which got you into this mess in the first place)
1. If needed (as in, you can't get emails etc) then Hard Reset (battery pull, hold power and volume down, push power button twice)
2. when it reboots, go through the wizard and setup your email.
3. Using a computer, take the .APK i have posted here (ADW launcher) and email to yourself as an attachment. your phone will sound off when that email arrives.
4. Swipe down, open the email and install the attachment.
5. Reboot and Welcome back to the launcher!!
This worked for me when my ADW Launcher was wiped by a backup (my own fault, i will admit) and i just reinstalled GO Launcher from the market after that.

I ran into this little problem the first time I rooted my phone. I debloated it and then thought of running a factory reset - the problem was I froze the stock LG Home launcher so I had no UI.
I was able to fix it by texting myself a www.google.com URL. I read the text through notifications, clicked the linked and it opened the browser. From the browser I entered the Market's URL and I navigated to NoBloat's page. I went to install it and there it gave me the option to open the app from which I was able to to unfreeze LG Home and then restart my phone

Well there ya go, another way to get around this problem!!
Thanks aimhelix for your alternate workaround! Let's keep this up, i am sure these aren't the only ways to fix this problem!

hard reset

aimhelix, a bit unrelated question... was reading your other post about debloating and you've mentioned doing a hard reset.
So, here it goes:
Is going to Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset and resetting data does the same thing as
- Turn off phone, wait a few seconds.
- Press HOME + VOL DN + POWER until you see a warning for Hard Reset
- Press Power 2x to confirm?
Thanks in advance.

It's hard to do that when you don't have a launcher...and by the way, you don't need press HOME button or pull the battery out, VOLUP + POWER is enough

I just threw the battery pull in for the noobs that didn't know when the phone was actually off! lol!!

No, not quite. A hard reset will wipe your internal SD card. I factory reset won't but it will also wipe user account info from the phone.

Well, actually there is an option to wipe the microSD card using Factory Reset method. If you check this option, the card will be wiped.
While looking for an answer on other threads, my take is - these two methods are the same. Just wanted to get an extra opinion, since I'm completely new to android. Actually, this is for my son's Nitro phone
Thanks for your reply though. I followed your directions disabling the bloatware, very helpful

install it how
through adB?
my pc wont detect phone

Just go to the site, login with your google account (the one you used on the phone)
Then hit the "install" button of the app (this all on the site, nothing need to be downloaded to your computer)
All this assuming you had added google account on the phone before the problem started.

[Q] Launcher pro bricked my phone

Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol

it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

Market doesn't work with any ROM

Hey Guys!
My Android Market stopped work after update to UK 3.4.2-117
When I was with FW2.21. It's OK.
I already tried to Clean Data, Cache... another Google Account... with 3G and WiFi, but nothing...
When I trying to download anything from Market... It's write "start downloading..." Then dissapear and nothing...
Sorry about my english...
Thanks a lot!
This happens to me sometimes too. When it starts downloading, go back into the app info screen and watch the progress bar.
I tried, but the progress bar show me "starts downloading" then dissapear and appear after 1 second in the same screen, for example I'm getting Angry Birds -> Install -> OK -> Download screen with progress bar -> dissapear before download -> appear "Angry Birds Free" not installed... If I install another program from my SD It's appear normally "Installed".
Thanks!
I have the same problem with the market. Help plase.
Up!
The problem persists
I got that, too, some time ago with my x10 mini. I needed to wipe the market data and created a new google mail account, though its a known googlebug and there its no 100% working fix for that.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
starting to have this problem takes about 5-7 tries to get something to download and install off the market going to see if wiping the market app data will help
I'm having the same problem with downloading from the Market since flashing to 3.4.2. On top of that the earpiece on my defy has just stopped working so I need to send it in for repair!
Please help!
Could one of the experts take pity on us and help us find out what's causing this?
Even if I reflash the SBF using RSD Lite it doesn't fix the problem.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Fixed it!
I got it working again by doing a factory reset from recovery and then when setting up the google account I created a new account instead of using my existing account. When I went into the market I was then able to download.
I then did another factory reset and used my old account and I was still able to download things from the market.
Hope this works for the rest of you.
i believe contrem is the best way to sort it out.. otherwise you might need to reflash using "RSD Lite".

I have the same problem with the market heeeeelp pleaseee!!!
I also have this problem recently. Seems to happen after I setup some email accounts. But removing those email accounts didn't help. Also tried cleaning cache/data etc but that didn't help neither.
I've given up. I can download almost everything anyway (I read Chinese )
I have finally solved by problem. Clearing Market cache is not enough. Have to terminate Market, set locale to English (US), and turn off wifi before restart Market. After the terms and conditions show up, can set locale back to your preference and turn on wifi again.
UHUL! Finally I fixed my market
I entered in the Stock Recovery Mode and Wipe Data. Doing that you will reset your phone.
I'm using Froyo (2.2)
This is the guide to enter Recovery mode
1 - Power off your Phone
2 - Long Press the Volume Down Button, then Press the power button to power on your Phone
3 - When you see the Green Android Robot, press the Volume Down+Up (together) Button
4 - Use menu with the volume up/down and power button to confirm.
Thanks! and Good Luck!

How to turn off factory mode!
So that's what it ended up being, factory mode. I'm surprised there isn't a specific thread about it on xda but with a Google search I was able to find the solution. Vrojas had the right idea but the action was unclear. The way I fixed my problem was to root my phone. Then download ES File Explorer from Google play. Open “ES File Explorer” and press on the very top left icon which will open a side menu. Go down to Tools and turn on “Root Explorer”. Go to Local > / Device > efs > FactoryApp and open*factorymode*as text in “ES Note Editor”. Change it from*OFF*to*ON*and save it. Open*keystr*as text in “ES Note Editor”, change it from*OFF*to*ON*and save it. Reboot your phone and voila

Are you rooted?
If not, backup your data and do a factory reset.
No i am not rooted. This is my first android phone and i have a lot of apps and contacts on my phone. How can i save them before resetting the device ?
Thanks
In case you're actually in need of a factory reset you can sync your contacts & apps to your Google account. Probably they are already there. You can also check the LG backup & reset in Settings.

You can use SuperBackup App from the market. Here is the link --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts&hl=en
With this u can backup Contact,SMS, Apps (w/o data).
As the multitasking button is a softkey, so i believe its a software based issue and 90% chances are that Factory reset should solve your problem.
Try this and revert back.
Thank you very much this has worked !
Hello again guys,
So i've done factory reset .and all and as i mentioned before everything returned to normal...for a week! And this problem occured once again and i really don't want to do any reset again.

Help needed asap. Google framework crashing

So this morning when I woke up, and checked my email, I got a notification for "google services framework not working" however the phone seemed to be normal. I rebooted it, unlocked it, and pretty much the phone is nonoperational. I keep getting notifications, that can not be cleared for " framework failing", "launcher failing", etc. Which makes it nearly impossible to navigate anywhere because they are in rapid succession.
Phone is a Pixel 2xl on the stock rom, never been rooted, etc. I am not sure what to even do at this point.
Any help would be much appreciated as this is my only device.

About the only thing you can do is a factory reset to see if it remedies the situation. Or, side load the OTA through stock recovery. The first will wipe your data, the 2nd won't. So backup what you can in either case before you start.

You can find how to side load OTA's here....https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Google backup/restore will get you close to being back to normal. However, you will lose some app data. So whatever personal data you have, it's best to back it up on your pc.

What would be the most efficient way to back up photos? Really that is the only thing I would like to backup.
Google Photos. It automatically backs up images found in the Camera or DCIM folder on your internal storage space.

Can you even get to your phone settings? If so, you may trying clearing app cache and data for Google play service and Google services framework like you see in the pic. Then if successful, reboot your device and see what happens.
I finally got the sideload to work, and it is still doing the same thing Only factory reset is left.

Can you even get to your phone settings? If so, you may trying clearing app cache and data for Google play service and Google services framework like you see in the pic. Then if successful, reboot your device and see what happens.

Yea, I can finagle my way there, but it doesn't do anything when I clear it.
I think my only hope at this point is to try and get my pics off it and factory reset.
How do I factory reset through adb? I navigated to the factory reset menu on the phone but the reset button is greyed out. I tried to do adb shell recovery --wipe_data and that didn't work.
Any advice how to reset through adb?

Either do it through the settings menu on your phone, or go into stock recovery using the power and volume buttons. Hold power + volume down for about 10 seconds, then when the bootloader screen comes up, use the volume down button to get to recovery, then press power to enter recovery. Once you see the android lying on his back, hold power + volume up simultaneously, then release volume. This part can get a little tricky, so be patient :good:
One additional piece of advice is to attempt to load the OS in "safe mode". You can find the method and more information HERE. As you can enter/load the OS (albeit the error messages get in the way), you should be able to get to the power-off/shutdown settings and might be able to load up the system in "safe mode"... I think it's worth a try...
good luck and hope this helped some....
