Just factory reset phone and it reset to kitkat. A short time later i installed Go Launcher, but then uninstalled it as i didn't like it. I just noticed that all of my folders are transparent, and not the opaque yellow that they used to be.
Is this a function of KK, our possibly of Go Launcher?
If it is from Go, how do i undo it? I've already uninstalled it.
If it's from KK, is there a way to undo it?

Btt...i also noticed that my widgets are transparent. I checked a friend's E980 also on kitkat, but his does not have the transparency issue. So I'm going to assume Go Launcher is the guilty culprit. I reinstalled Go, and then uninstalled it again, but the issue remains. Is there any way to roll back the phone a few days (like Windows Restore), to totally get rid of everything related to Go Launcher? After the uninstall, it also left the Go wallpaper, so obviously it's not totally being removed.

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.

[Q] Why would my entire set of homescreens reset after "Launcher has stopped."?
Something really strange happened to my Nexus 7 2013 last night. I coldbooted it, checked some notifications, unlocked it, and then it told me "Launcher has stopped." Next thing I know, my entire launcher was reset like it was a brand new device. but all my apps still showed up in the apps tray and my other settings were intact. Now I need to set up folders and widgets again because everything was reset. o_o
I'm running stock and it's rooted, but I haven't modded it or anything. Does this issue sound familiar to any of you?

If I'm not understanding you right, Unlocking resets all data. Otherwise something with your fsync might be screwed up.

Unlocking from the lockscreen. Not bootloader unlocking. Sorry but I didn't mention the bootloader at all? How would fsync be screwed up?
There was a chance for eMMC data corruption in builds prior to JSS15Q (latest).
Suggest you upgrade to latest version and hopefully the corruption problems go away.

What's eMMC data? I'll probably need to sideload the new build and flash that way. Still doesn't show up for OTA.

Hi all,
Got my 20X running EMUI 9.1 (all stock) and started disabling some useless apps (to me) like Google Music & Google Photos..
But these constantly re-enabled themselves appearing back on home screen.. So I decided to go ADB
Removed mostly Google apps I wasn't using but then I deleted some Huawei ones like HiCare..
...because I was doing such a good job :silly: I decided to get rid of the stock Gallery app - that is com.android.gallery3d and another one like com.android.gallery3d.overlay IIRC
Set my own gallery app as Default however the Huawei Camera app will not let me access recent shots as it's asking for the stock Gallery app...
Any way I can get around this please?
My goto is try apkmirror
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huawe...ease/gallery-9-0-15-355-android-apk-download/
May or may not like it.
You can also check default apps under apps in setting to reset as default if necessary

Factory Reset will get you all back to before you started disabling/deleting apps.

Factory Reset is your fastest way of getting it working again as far as I know. Once you start deleting factory files/apps, I'm not sure what interacts with other files/apps to know exactly what needs to be reinstalled/added manually. With Factory Reset there's no question since it puts everything back how it was from factory. I was lucky enough to unlock my bootloader prior to Huawei blocking that and as a rule I freeze apps via Titanium Backup and wait at least a few weeks to see if anything else is effected before deleting.

You can try an older version and then see if it can be upgraded. The AppMarket if on AL00 is an alternative.
Huawei Backup & Restore is actually pretty good at settings and data, if you can save off the device itself before a reset.
So I managed to sort this out without having to Factory Reset, I just re-installed the app via adb
cmd package install-existing <name of package>
[Also returned the phone in the meantime]
And it really messed things up. Device not seeing other launchers, and the native launcher is 'stuck' - any modifications I make (icons/screens/widgets/positioning etc) resets after every reboot.
Cleared cache, but no luck.
Help.
And notifications don't show on the top (only when I pull down, and not all)

I made an account just to post here cause I'm having the exact same issues. I've had so many issues and I thought things would be better, but this update completely ruined our phones. Not only is the phone even more dysfunctional now, it's uglier too. The cosmetic updates are gross, the new emojis are gross, AND they added software that's unremovable.

If you guys read my mega thread you will see there is a fix for the launcher customizing resetting there in tge fidst post under the change log.
But i also have a list of bugs i will forward to Nubia once the community have found them all.
For alternate launchers, be sure to set it in the App Info settings > 3-dot menu > default apps > Desktop.

Yeah I saw Unfortunately it didn't work for me, and my launcher still resets on restart. I did it multiple times too.

Try doing an in place update of the full rom zip, then clear cache and data of launcher.
During beta test clearing data fixed it for all testers. So its possible the OTA had an additional bug for you
Can confirm on the update the method you described doesn't work (on mine the alternate launchers don't show up in the defaults list for desktop).
@Nyanwiz - I ended up flashing the latest Q stock rom, but would be willing to try your suggestion. Can I just flash the full zip of new R build over it without losing data? And if it doesn't work, can I flash the 10 back?
Or do I need to do through the front end system updates UI?

By any chance do you remember which rom those testers used for their testing? The fix hasn't worked for me, and I was running the US rom
Hi, I also had the same issue where any app icon when dragged onto a home screen would disappear. Tried to force stop the native launcher and restart the device. It worked after a few goes and my old home screens were restored and i am able to add apps onto my home screen. Haven't tried any custom launcher like nova yet. I'm guessing its a bug I was about to submit a ticket before it "fixed itself".
As the titles says, I want to completely remove the stock launcher (like it never existed) and install some other launcher (as if this was the only and stock launcher).
Bascially, This thread explains the problem in details.
I am on custom rom and rooted so I want to know how to make any launcher (lets say Lawn chair 2) stock/native from scratch and completely remove the stock one.

That is actually very hard, I personally like the pixel launcher on my custom roms and sometimes it doesn't work right. I always recommend switching first to see if the launcher works fully. Than since your rooted use magisk system debloater module off the manager. If you're on Android 11 than I don't know normally it doesn't read the partition layouts properly and doesn't work but you can try it. They need to update it for Android 11 but with the super partitions it makes it very difficult.

Yeah you could get rid of it via Root. There is a good app on the Play Store called something like System App Remover/Uninstaller? You could also try Magisk Modules!

That app doesn't work right anymore at least not on Samsung one ui. I don't know on Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi. But everything with the system partition is different now. It basically doesn't matter if you're rooted you can't touch otherwise it bootloops. I would recommend making a twrp backup first than try whatever you like.
what about using adb? have you try using adb to uninstall it?
I someone managed to uninstall the stock launcher and install lawn chair 2 as native but in the process, i lost home navigation gestures, 2 button and 3 button navigation options.

Yikes. Yeah yesterday I was almost going to say, be careful when uninstalling system apps. Its worth mentioning that the latest MIUI doesn't support Gestures on Third-Party Launchers, but you probably already know that.
Instead of clean-flashing, It may have been possible to dirty-flash the same ROM (with same version), to get Stock Launcher back without losing /data

I did dirty flash first. Neither the launcher came back nor the gestures. Then google kept crashing since I didn't flash gapps knowing it is dirty flash so i don't need to flash gapps. All gapps started crashing and didn't work. So I flashed gapps but they still kept crashing so I said "fk it, i'll clean everything".
You have to systemize the app (you need root to do this). I wouldn't recommend deleting the stock launcher just incase your new launcher breaks
