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.

[Q] Lost Google News & Weather Service

Ok because im still a noob and cant post on the development forum...I figured id ask this here.
So i flashed the Gapps.zip from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056205&highlight=GOOGLE+TALK
Everything is working great including the gtalk video, except i have lost the google news and weather application. How can i get this back?
Im running CM7.0.3.1 w/stock CM kernal.

1) This doesn't belong in development anyway, unless you're asking in the thread for the gapps. Do not make a new thread for a question in development.
2) If the app is included in the gapps, just wipe cache & dalvik cache, then reflash the gapps zip.

1) I cannot post a reply in that topic yet...because i do not have enough posts to do so..
2) I tried wiping cache & dalvik, then reflased. Still nothing...
Also, I even triend installing the apk that wmstwo002 posted with no luck either. Is there a specific folder i have to drop that apk into first in order to install correctly?

Just drop it on the root of your sdcard, then use a root explorer, to locate the app on the sdcard, long press, enable all the permissions, move to /system/app then install. Make sure you are mounted as r/w.
Edit: I don't know if he pulled this from a sense rom, because its not installing on Cm7 for me, with enabling all the permissions, I can say its not going to work.

It may need to be in /system/app.
Do you have Root Explorer?

Still no luck. It goes through the install process and then at the end it says 'application not installed'. Im at a loss. I guess ill just go back to gapps without gtalk video. No big deal, thanks for everyones help

Try these gapps > http://www.mediafire.com/?92475r3frlncg29
And yes, they're safe.

If you do have Root Explorer (or another root level file explorer), copy the downloaded apk then navigate to /system/app. You need to mount as r/w - in Root Explorer there's a button in the top right to do so. Paste the apk in that folder, then long-press the geniewidget.apk. Choose "permissions" from the list and change them to rw-r--r--
It should look like this:
x x -
x - -
x - -
X's are checked, dashes are not.
Then reboot, and you should have it.

I do have root explorer and I have tried every option posted on this thread with no luck.
But, Im using the weather channel widget for my weather right now and i like it a lot better than the genie widget.
Any recommendations for any other weather widgets that are reliable?

Beautiful widgets are beautiful. Try it out. If you like it there is a paid version, but the default with no skins are nice too.

For just weather, I use Palmary Weather. It's also a paid app, but has the best weather widgets I've ever seen. Beautiful Widgets is good if you want a clock as well, otherwise it's a little bulky for just weather in my opinion. I wasn't aware that there's a free version.

[How To] Stop annoying OTA notifiication on 3.1

If you are on 3.1 still like I am, I bet you are getting extremely frustrated when the Update notification keeps popping up (Where is that damn never ask me again button??!!)
Well here is the fix! I do not take responsibility if this breaks your xoom, computer, or your face
First try deleting the zip file out of your /cache/ folder (did not work for me)
Then try replacing your build.prop file with the following
***Please note this has been only tested on Tiamat 1.1 rom running Android 3.1****
Instructions:<
ADB:
Extract build.prop to your ADB folder
ADB Remount (should say successful)
ADB push build.prop system/
ADB Reboot
Using Root Explorer, make system writable
move build.prop and replace exisiting
Reboot.

because the update offers nothing that I don't already have on my rooted and heavily modified version of 3.1.
It takes to long for me to get everything set up just the way I like it, so until an update actually gives us anything worth while, I'm content staying "back" at 3.1, with all the bells& whistles. I can read & write to my sd,overclock, undervolt, read & write to external drives, etc.
What am I missing from 3.2?

-Killed my Swype installation, which was a deal-breaker for me.

I just removed the zip from cache, said instal update then hit cancel when it failed to reboot and haven't had it since
Thanks!

Where does it cache to?
EDIT - nevermind.. duh.. the cache...

For those wanting to stop the OTA nag, I've found that Solarnz's fix (modpack 3) for the Moray ROM works on the stock ROM as well.

The file I posted was only for 3.1 Android systems. I would recommend restoring from a Nandroid backup, but if you do not have one you will need to jump on IRC so one of our genius's can assist you on restoring your original files.

I already applied this and I think it works.. Thank you very much...

HELP!!!

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.

how to install cwm???srry im a noob..i need everything in detail..plss

Unofficial ClockworkMod Recovery v.5.0.2.6

cwm installed.dalvik cache wiped...how to set permission ON for Read-Owner, Read-Group, Read-Others and Write-Owner??

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??

You need to uninstall SuperSU if you were rooted before installing cyanogenmod, as CM comes with another superuser app... SO go into your apps find superSU and uninstall it

You lose installed apps, settings that you set when you started the phone, WiFi, wallpaper, texts/phone log, contacts
If you pick to back up to Google when you first set up the rom you can restore all the above apart from texts and call logs.
