Are you rooted? If yes, you can sort this out by deleting the /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher folder and /data/data/com.fede.launcher folder. After that, reinstall the 0.8.3 version.
Just make sure you have another launcher like default samsung or go launcher something in handy to navigate when you delete these files.

You need to have Root explorer or some other similar file manager which can grant you read and write access to the /data and /dbdata folders.
did u restart launcherpro after changing the setting? many settings require restart to take effect.
(just stating the obvious just in case op made a silly mistake).

A stock file manager won't help you. You need to have Root explorer or Astro File manager or Linda file manager or some other which gives you access to Root. These folders are located in the root directory.

This is indeed WTF moment.
Try searching for "launcherpro" and see what you get. Try deleting those files and reinstalling Launcherpro from market.

You can. Flash a non-wipe ROM. If that doesnt help, backup your data and flash over a wipe ROM.

One do you have CWM installed. If so boot to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition.
Make sure these are the only permissions set ON; Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner.
This should reset the application back.

many force closes r occuring google services framework and android.process.acore
Sounds like you did more than delete the com.android.providers.contacts.apk.
You might be better off re-flashing your ROM or do as ahmadns said and just run the RUU to restore your phone.

You can use ES File Explorer from the market, its free. Navigate to the apk(/system/app) and set the permissions.
i havent deleted anything else..hmm ok help me with re-falshing or running the RUU
By chance did you try to change the permissions on the apk after you copied it back? Then you would need to reboot the phone after, my bad I forgot to state that.
But if that did not work, then go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445 and find your version RUU.
ya i changed da permission...should i put da same RUU or can i put a different one?? i was planning to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260590

Since you have CWM installed then do use Jikantaru ROM, he does excellent work!
Other wise if you ran the RUU it would over right the CWM and root, so you would have to do that all over again, unless you just extracted the rom.zip file and installed that thru CWM.
ok...will this fix my problem?? i have 4 custom roms im a lil confused which to select http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314430..i would prefer this bcoz i need internal memory or this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317931....then cm7 port and da other one which i hav already told u b4...
In essence yes. This will wipe and install a fresh ROM. If I was you, try all of them to find which one better suites your needs. They are all developed by talented people with each there own style and taste. Just try them at least for two days each to properly understand the differences. You will not go wrong with any in my opion.
after installing custom rom can i change back to original rom??

Go in recovery and clear the cache and reboot, that should fix it.

Do you have lucky patcher installed, I had this problem as I tried to remove ads from fragger.
After I uninstalled fragger I couldn't reinstall it until I removed the luckypatcher cache.

Make sure you aren't using the app "Screen Filter".
For some reason this app can prevent you from installing apks....don't ask me why...

How do you HOX user delete your system/odex app?

So I have a lot of preinstalled **** apps sitting on my app drawer with no use for me at all such as
Ais
Axis
Broadband
Mworld
Myhtc
Ringtunes
And all the other useless ****.
I have tried to uninstalled them using Link2sd. Yes I do succeed.
But after I reboot my phone. All of the **** apps that I uninstalled came back. wtf?
Someone suggest me to use aroma file manager, not sure if its gonna work or not I mean have spmeoneu tried it and succeeded? Without the apps came back after uninstalled it?

You are rooted, right?
Use any file explorer out there and delete the desired .apk files from /system/app/. The apps'll be permanently gone!

It doesn't help me. I return all files related to keyboard, but they still crash. I think i delete something else which can happen this.
Maybe anyone know what can cause this?

I reboot my Z1C many times after that. I also cleared dalvik cache and cache, but it doesn't help also.
Either you've to reinstall the firmware again or else use some third party keyboard.. But it's strange that permission change didn't help you..

Reflash the firmware. And take this as a lesson: never delete something from /system if you don't know exactly what it is. Rename it to something like *.apk.old and delete it after you made sure that everything is still working and you really don't need it.

I delete the same files on my Xperia Z. And everything is working fine.
So i don't know the reason why it crashes on Z1C.

Maybe you deleted something else. You can also download this file from step 6 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081
Then unpack it. Inside you will find a file system.tgz, unpack that too and then you will have system/apps where you can compare which files are missing on your phone.
I have the same problem, but not even a factory reset solved it! Well, I might as well get a better keyboard
