Hello members
I had a little fit this morning after my screen lock did not lock the screen. Nova Launcher pushed through an update as well as Google yesterday. Anyway, I thought it must be Nova, so I tried to uninstall instead of switching to Goole Launcher. The uninstall option was not available so I went to Titanium App and deleted Nova Launcher. What a stupid idea that was.
So I am stuck in bootloop and cannot get onto the home screen. I made an install zip file with an earlier Nova Launcher to install through TWRP. It said install successful though no change. Still bootloop.
Is anyone here who would have time and could help me ? Thanks
ROM is ArchiDroid V3.1.5

Reflash your rom without doing anything else.
And next time post your questions in the q & a thread specific for your device not this section
Ok, thanks. My apology for using the wrong subforum. Regards G

Luckily I see this thread. I also accidently uninstall launcher and the home screen become blank. The method u give is work, but the phone must be in situation still connect to internet.
I wonder if the phone not able to connect to internet at that time , then how to do? Can push the launcher apk from computer ?
If you have a signal(mobile or wifi) this should work...
both mobile and wifi are off.
Problem solved now!! Thanks for the help!
I sent the apk file from martket.android.com
and turned on the wifi!! only the display was not there, everything was like before, so i just imitated and pressed the correct button lol!
i have the same problem
i have the same problem now
but i use defy data manager so it can't download on 3g and i can't push it from the market to my phone
i want any launcher in zip format
if anyone has the official stock launcher that'd be great
pepo36: restart phone to recovery and reinstall CM from SD card. You will not lose any data.
i dont have CM
i have the stock rom installed and this is why i was removing Go launcher to get back my stock launcher but for some reason the stock launcher is missing

i was using go launcher ex and when i uninstall it, my home screen was stuck with a black home screen with only notification bar at top ..... A chance i had made a ROM backup with Rom Manager earlier or my phone will still be stuck on that black home screen.
Hard reset didnt help to repair phone
Lg support tool application from Lg website didnt work too
I wrote this post just to share my experience with Go Launcher Ex and i will never and ever re-install a Go products.
I may be mistaken but it sounds like you didn't have another launcher enabled when you uninstalled go launcher ex. That's why you ended up with the black screen with the notification bar.
Hi,
did you uninstall the LG Home Launcher before installing GoLauncher? If so, you don't have a launcher installed on your phone right now. In that case it's more your personal failure than a problem with GoLauncher... sorry.
Your Android Phone needs a Launcher. If you uninstall the stock launcher you have to make sure that already another one is in place and vice versa. If not it will end with the black screen you mentioned.
Good luck next time.

Cool down, i thought you want some help? It was my guess, because exact the same thing happened to me back in the days...
Where is your LG Home launcher now?
I bet the stock launcher is frozen via TiBu.

Yeah something like this, its definitly deactivated... not a specific GoLauncher problem. Would be interesting to know, where the LG Home Launcher is hiding.

Good question ...... i was able to receive call, sms, but wasnt able to make call (because of black screen) the Rom manager backup had save my phone
i just weird that the uninstallation had hide/remove/delete etc the Lg launcher....
I see, had the same problem once as i'd no-bloated the LG Launcher. I also had to restore my backup, no way to get the launcher installed again.
That's what happened to me, but luckily I have Debug mode enabled so I just connect the phone with PC, and use adb shell to launch Titanium Backup to defrost the Home launcher.
So if you luckily have Debug mode enabled before you black-screen accident:
1. Install Android SDK on your PC which include adb shell
2a. If you froze the Home launcher with TiBu and want to defrost it, open adb shell from command line and follow this link to launch Titanium Backup: stackoverflow.com/questions/4567904/how-to-start-an-application-using-android-adb-tools
2b. If for some reason 2a doesn't work, or you didn't froze the LG Home launcher but it is not loaded for some reasons, reinstall Go Launcher or any other launchers using Sideload Wonder Machine (google for it)

A good tip for all is: always enable debug mode then you can solve a lot of problems with your PC!
I accidentally froze touchwiz with Titanium backup and now my phone wont boot past android is updating....starting apps screen. I the thought that if I reloaded the latest jelly bean through odin that it would fix the problem but it didn't as I am still stuck on the boot screen after re installing.

Go into Recovery by using button combos and factory reset it....

Yeah that's what I was thinking but was hoping that there was another way to get back into Titanium and unfreeze touchwiz. I was just playing around with Titanium and froze touchwiz and forgot to unfreeze before rebooting.
You could try to install full firmware package using ODIN. It should over-write everything (i.e. unfreeze touchwiz).

That's a good idea but I already did a factory reset.
I would have preferred to try your method first but its not the end of the world as I have stuff backed up it was more about getting everything set up again which is a pain but again not the end of the world. Thanks for the idea though I will keep that in mind if I ever do something stupid like this again
On the future, keep a second launcher installed and this will never happen again. Unless you freeze both launchers
I just went through this. And maybe this will help the next person searching for a solution.
I froze touch wiz in Titanium and could not boot. So I went to Google Play on my desktpop and logged in. Then installed "Smart Launcher". I had no idea if it was installing or not but on Google Play on my desktop it said "installed" so i did a battery pull and restarted into Smart Launcher. Then rebooted again to get the prompt which launcher Iwanted to use and I chose "touch wiz" and "don't ask me again"
thanks

Guys, i tried to install the G5 launcher from apk mirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgelectronics/homeux-4-0/), there was an error or something and now i can only select Easy Home as launcher. The Home&App Drawer (stock G4 Launcher) is no longer compatible and can't select it. I dont even understand how this could happen because i dont have root and my phone is stock.
Also i cant just uninstall updates for Launcher because there is not this option. I dont know hot to go back without a factory reset and that would be time consuming.
Do you guys mind to post the Stock G4 Launcher apk here so i can give it a try ?

Can someone please upload Chinese version of the stock launcher (com.huawei.android.launcher)? I uninstalled mine to use Nova Launcher. Everything is fine but turned out I can't remove screen lock without the stock launcher. The system warns me that if I remove the screen lock it will revert back to stock launcher and then nothing happens since it doesn't find the stock launcher. Thank you.
Actually I realized how to retrun it back. When I uninstalled the stock launcher I only uninstalled for the current user (user 0). The apk itself is still on the phone. To return it back I used this command:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.huawei.android.launcher

I likely can't help you.
But ... I finally got the ****s with using my work around for not having the swipe to home screen while using NOVA. I was using the dreaded home via dot. I guess it worked ok, but was just not fluid enough. I am thankful for seeing this here, as I can now revert back to stock launcher ---- sob.
My thoughts though, if it isn't workign, permissions are not ok for adb or you don't have usb debugging on in system/developer options
Cheers.

I can remove all apps except stock launcher
I could before b195
Now i can't
Here you go.....
Download it to your Google drive, then from your Google drive download it to your device and install, you shouldn't get the error doing it that way.
