Home screen not visible - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i rooted my chinese galaxy note 2 and it was until i deleted some apps. After i deleted and pressed home screen button i couldn't view anything except the notification bar. No tray icons no screen but only i could see is the background and notification bar through where i only access settings. I tried factory reset but no use. Please help me with this matter.

You probably removed the launcher. As you are rooted, get some launcher like Nova or Apex as .apk and install it with ADB

Stock Launcher crashing!

Hi I've got a stock GSM GNexus with software v4.0.2 and tried to install Nova Launcher in order to have more screens with Widgets installed. But as soon as the Nova Launcher is launched and I try to switch back to stock launcher, the Stock Launcher just keep crashing and nothing seems to respond unless I switch right back to Nova. Even when I force close the Stock Launcher,it doesn't stop the problem. What do I do to make both launchers run side by side? Cheers

[APP] AOSP Launcher3 apk , Drawer 5x5 Layout

This is 4.4 KitKat Launcher without Google Now integration. Extracted from Paranoid Android AOSP 4.4 Rom. You can install as normal APK.
This Launcher will be helpful who don't want to use hotword detection and Gnow integration as they are increase battery usage so much.
Also there is no need to change LCD density for 5x5 app drawer layout.
Works great for me thanks.
Do we need to replace & install it with root explorer adding premissions, or just like normal apk?

You don't need to flash modified framework zip as Google already did for Nexus4 on 4.4.1. Just flash latest 4.4.1 OTA and install Launcher3 as normal apk. You will have translucent nav and status bar on both Lock Screen and Home screen.
Will this launcher replace original one or just be installed like nova for example?
Installed it like any other apk. transparecy is cool but icons are too big, thanx anyway.

The icons looks little blurred when the dpi is set to 180. Do we have any workaround to correct it? The icons are displayed properly with Nova, but not with Google Now Launcher and Launcher3.
Works great for me thanks.
I'm recreating the apk file with material design. I'll make a download link available if it works.

[Q] Stock app icons replaced with bugdroid.

Just updated to 4.4.2, wiped, and then installed google now launcher but I'm having a weird issue. A couple of LG apps like email and weather have had their icons replaced with a bugdroid icon. Mind you, this is only when I'm using Google now launcher. When I'm using the stock one, the icons are normal. Anyone know what's up with that?

Me too - I'm on the stock rooted UK 4.4 ROM. I installed Nova Launcher & the aforementioned icons are generic. The same happens with Apex Launcher. I tried deleting the icon cache in Nova Launcher under Lab Settings but nothing happened. If I try to edit the shortcuts on the desktop the relevant app icons are blank.
The icons look fine when using the stock launcher.
On holo launcher it lets me edit the icons of items in the dock and on the home page.
Rather than choosing a different image for an item, I can also choose "default icon".
This fixes the icons, but only on the home page and in the dock, not in the app drawer.

Not with Nova Launcher
Anyone have a theory as to why this is happening on third-party launchers?
I've emailed the Nova Launcher dev & will see if he replies
The dev wasn't able to help. Is there a way to extract the stock app icons from the ROM as image files and then we could edit the shortcuts?

In Holo launcher I can simply select the icons on the home page and change the images.
When changing I get the option of using a custom image, or use default.
When I select default, the icon works again.
However this fix only works on the home screen, not in the app drawer.
I know this thread is a little old but I just upgraded to KK and was wondering if anyone figured out how to fix this?

I just found a trick that worked for me, set nova's icon size to 85% in nova settings and the stock icons come back to life
