My screen won't turn off. when u turn it off it stays off for about 1-2 seconds and then turns back on. it must have been a particular system app I uninstalled. I was thinking It was because I unistalled the home system apps, which elsewhere are list as safe for removing as long as u replace it first. I was able to reinstall them, but not sure if they are reinstalled right. I did see another guy whom when he reinstalled certain system apps he had to rename them first. I can't find the post. So far that doesn't work.
1. does anybody know which system app I uninstalled or did to do this?
2. does anyone know the proper name to rename the home app apk for re-installation?
3. if this happens to anyone else I have found that using the "Redeye - Stay wake" app, Power on volume (button fix), and the "Desktop Visualizer (for creating customized shortcut) seemed to be a temporary fix until I find out what I did.
Anyone?

If you deleted LG Home, that's your problem. That's the LG stock launcher. Your phone is technically booting, but it cannot get to the desktop without a launcher, basically. The thing is that you need both the app and the odex files to be properly installed for the LG Home launcher to function.
Do you have a backup? If not, you'll need to reflash the ROM. Do you have another launcher installed?
hey.
i had read that someone said that you can uninstall your native lg home apps as long as have an replacement launcher in place first. I already had nova prime launcher installed before I uninstalled the native lg home launcher apps? this wont work?
I did make an app backup of the native home launcher apps with "titanium backup" and "app master" (Uninstall master). is this sufficient?

I did find that I already had the APKs backed up from what I previously mentioned. I checked my root/system/apps directory and the odex files are there too. what do I do now? or do I need to do anything since I already previously had nova prime installed before I uninstalled the native lg home apps and that should have be fine?

It won't use Nova unless it was set to use it, so it's not going to really matter.
It could be that the files were corrupted when you tried to reinstall them manually. I've had the same sort of issues with NFC and Bluetooth resources. I deleted then and then tried to reinstall them and produced the same sort of thing you described. I had no choice but to flash back to stock via the uber-crappy LG tools.
Let me try to understand. If you install Nova Prime while u still have a perfectly good working copy of LG home and then Uninstall LG home what is the problem? how would it not be set to use nova?

There's a separate laucher/Home chooser component in the LG Home software that, unless it is set to use another launcher (which it can be in the settings) it will continue to look for LG Home and try to launch it. If it's been deleted, you'll have a mess.
Didn't you say that you tried to reinstall it also? I don't think it was perfect after reinstallation. It should be, but again, I used Titanium Backup to delete and reinstall some system components, and it did not work, even though the components seemed to be installed/restored correctly.
In reality, they weren't.
Fixed. Thanks donalgodon. That worked. my problem was that I had installed nova prime, but did not make it the default before Uninstalling the lg native home apps. So I found I had backups of lg home apk/data, lg selector apk/data, and of the lg optimus theme. the reason my previous restore did not work was because I was trying to restore the apk only with app master (master Uninstaller) which did not have the capability to restore data also for apps. I used titanium backup to restore my apk/data backup from last month of 1st the selector, then lg home, a d then the lg theme. it work perfectly. Then in made nova prime my default launcher. I tested the sleep awake functionality and it once again was working. I then uninstalled again the lg home selector, the lg home, and the Optimus theme. everything went perfectly.

I applied the latest RUU for the Droid Incredible (November 2010 Edition). In the past, I always updated the phone, Got Root Access and performed a Nandroid Backup before removing all the Bloatware/Crapware on my phone.
However, this time I am getting very different results.
After the Nandroid, I delete everything I don't want via Root Explorer. I would delete the obvious ones such as City ID, VZ Nav, Teeter, and a bunch of HTC widgets like Footprints, Contacts Calculator, etc.
I was told that if I go into my settings and 'Clear Data' on HTC Sense that it will get rid of the shortcut to the deleted widgets on the Add Widget Window. It always worked in the past except not on this release.
I have reinstalled the RUU several times to make sure it wasn't a n installation error (of course I am performing a wipe). Any one have any suggestions.
Also is there an updated list of what programs are safe to remove?
Thanks.
Why not flash a "senseless ROM"? there are a number of them out there. You lose the stock Rosie and are forced to use either ADW or Launcher Pro. They alsy delete many of the things you have no interest in keeping.
Just another option.
Because I like Sense. I love the HTC Calendar Widget, HTC Clock Widget (with the full screen weather animation), HTC Tip Calculator and the stock HTC Keyboard (Hence why there is also an equal amount of Sense ROMs out there too).
Nothing I have seen out there comes close to what I like.

I would try removing the apps with Titanium Backup if you haven't. That's what I normally use to remove bloatware. If you "Freeze" the apps, the widgets may be removed, also.
Also, could someone let me in on the secret for adding a custom signature with my ROM/Kernel/Radio/Phone/etc.? I'm new to XDA.
The widgets are gone it's the shortcut for them that need to be removed. RMK had a method of removing these prior to Froyo update 1 which doesn't work anymore.
If you know what the app names are, you can use 7 zip to remove the apk's from the app folder before flashing the Rom.

It works. It gets rid of the garbage shortcuts now. However, you can't put widgets on your homescreens anymore. Very weird. Because the widgets I want to put on my screen are installed.

I'll give that a shot too. However, without even doing it, I think it won't work because of the SQL entries left behind.
I am just being real anal. The garbage widgets shouldn't bother me but I want it to be clean.

Did you ever manage to work out how to remove the deleted widgets from the list?
Running an R800x and DoomLord Kernel, but no matter what ROM I flash except for FrAsErTaG, I get no launcher. I get a screen with the time/battery, but none of the hardware buttons work. I cleared the /cache /data and /dalik-cache to no avail. I would stay on FrAsErTaG, but for some reason, the camera freezes when I try to take a picture. Has ANYONE else have had this problem?
Sounds like the Rom removed se home. Not sure why the other replacement launcher isn't working. Is this happening in my Rom, zerorom, as well?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Yes, it is. It's annoying as heck as well.
Are you able to connect your phone to your google account during set up? Because you could log on to the market on your pc, and download a home launcher. I thought it was a neat feature of the market. You could try it

See, that doesn't make any sense to me. I've had this problem a few times while working on the ROM, but found that Launcher Pro fixed it up for me just fine, so it is a part of the ROM. Not sure why it wouldn't be triggered for you... very odd.
Nope, I can't sign into the market. And I haven't tried pushing a .apk of a launcher yet.
As for it not triggering, anything I could do to help debug this?
It shouldn't not be triggering. Is your home button working?
Basically, it should bring up a list of anything that will respond to the home intent.
Like I said, none of the buttons responds. This includes the "home" button.
Wiping /system, reflash stock and then install a ROM and see what happens.

Phone randomly got FC's on launcher pro whenever I try to go to the Homepage, so it is barely usable at the moment. Like a dummy I haven't done any nandroid backup in the last few months, but i want to save my notes from the NOTES app. I keep a little log of ideas and notes that I will lose the last few months worth if I can't figure out how to salvage it. ANyone have any clue? If anyone can recommend a way to save the SMS's and Shazam stuff as well it would be a bonus
My problem is I can't get to any of my programs since the homepage won't load up, but I can get into my SMS's if I go to my contacts and sms from there. I did do a SMS backup to my computer with some program called MobileGo. It seems pretty thorough, but I haven't tested since I'm waiting to restore my phone until after I get my notes. Thanks!
I can view my SD card files easily but I can't seem to get it to browse my internal storage...unless i'm forgetting something I assume that is where my notes would be?? Need help...

do you have titanium back up?
if you do go into that fin luancher pro and clear the data
Can you walk me through the steps...I can't get to any homepage or open up programs so not sure how I would get into titanium backup or launcher pro. If we could just figure out where notes stores its data I could back that up then do a fresh install and drag and replace the new one with the old, I assume.
First do a nandroid back up from cwm assuming your rooted. That way nothing that is done to it can't be reversed. Second what actually happens when you reboot the phone?

I am rooted and can do a nandroid backup from cwm...When I boot up the phone it loads everything then force closes constantly when launcher pro tries to load...I can cheat past to make calls if i press the home button quickly and tap the phone icon. I'll do the backup now.
Backup successful...Am i wrong to assume if I do a clean install and reinstall my ACS rom all succesful then restore my nandroid backup that my notes will be restored? If not then I'll do that and thanks. Otherwise, I'm still trying to save my notes. Bumpsky
You can try. Asking as you have back your now in a position that you can experiment. When you boot the phone does it immediately crash. Can you get to the app drawer. Then to market. Then titanium backup. Backup notes app and data. Reflash then restore notrs

Just spitballing here but can't you download another home launcher like zeam from a computer... it'll push it to your phone and when its done downloading press home key and set that one as your main launcher.... then delete the faulty one and reinstall it?
You could try reflashing your rom clean and doing an advanced data restore in cwm. Not sure if that would work but it's worth a shot.
Edit: also i believe there is a way to restore apps from a nandroid in titanium if you flash clean. I've never done it, but I've read about people doing that.

Hello Everyone
I have installed a custom ROM that is really close to stock Touchwiz.
However it includes some kind of "AT&T address book" app that pops up whenever I go to phone and press contacts, for example. This causes my phone to lag too as it opens this useless app, as I am not even with AT&T. I was wondering about how to remove it, or perhaps a contacts apk that I can replace it with that does not have this built in?
Thank you
Use root explorer and nav to system/app. Mount r/w and delete the app. Reboot.

Can't you just freeze/uninstall it with titanium backup?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2
I would simply uninstall it with Titanium Backup, however I think the app is somehow fused into the contacts application. In Titanium Backup I could not locate any process or application related to it. Unless I am missing something or it goes under a different name?

That's up to u. If you freeze it and have no issues I guess you could. I usually freeze most apps I dont use just in case. Unless its a well known app and I know what it is. Flashing the ROM again would install it if u ever wanted it.

Kyocera AAB (AT&T Address Book) Disable
Go to the Apps screen, run Settings, select Apps.
Swipe Left to see RUNNING apps!
Select AAB then Stop it, Swipe Left again to see ALL apps and select AAB and Disable it.
This will stop the auto sync when you open contacts on the Kyocera C6745.
I would like to know some way to automatically setup folders on a phone. In this case I am concerned with the E4GT running stock FL24. Unrooted methods are preferred, but beggers can't be choosers.
As an example I may get a second phone or flash a new ROM and want to restore my meticulously crafted home screen folders containing apps.
If there is a file I can copy and then paste into my new phone/ROM that is great. A script that takes care of things is good. An app that I am unaware of to manage things works too. I am wide open and can root IF need be but prefer not to.
Are you using a stock browser? Because most 3rd party browsers like nova and adw will have a backup option. No need for root to use those. Juat need to install it from market

Thanks! I am using a stock browser but can try this. I am still happy to accept other solutions from others but so far this is helpful!
Just tried it with folders. It keeps placement of the folder aa well as whats inside them. The only thing is when you install that launcher you must set up your screen like its new. Then push menu while you are at your home screen. Go to your launcher settings for instance I use adw. So I would choose adw setting. Then backup and restore. Then backup. This is a better solution for you. You asked if you can switch it between phones. Well if you move from samsung to say htc well the stock launchers will change. So you may be able to save the touchwiz settings. But wouldnt be able to restore those on the sense launcher. Good luck. And if you are new to launchers I would suggest nova or adw. And rhe paid for versions are even better:beer:

You can try doing a data and app backup using mybackup pro. That should reinstall all your apps and then put everything on your home screen how it should be. I use nova launcher so I restore through there automatically when I restore all my apps and app data with mybackup pro.
