I rooted my streak, I wanted to remove the stage widgets and bloat.
I was using system app remover from the market, when this happned...
I think i removed something impoortant, because now whenever it tries to go to the home screen, it just sits blank and none of the buttons work...
and it locks on the dell splash unless I do a factory reset.
other things work though, the lock screen, emails, and I'm assuming anything else still installed, but, the home screen is gone.
I don't know what to do now, how can I fix it?
Try installing a different launcher such as ADW or LauncherPro from Android Market.

I removed part of the startup wizard, thinkning it was the wanky swype how to...
is there any way I can get it back?
I'm thinking:
install launcherPRO
unroot
go to dell official download page and download.
does that sound like a good plan?
To go back to stock ROM, you will also need to flash stock recovery. Look in the development forums for the recovery image.
That aside, your plan sounds good. You don't need to unroot to go back to stock.

I have rooted my Atrix and installed Gingerblur 3.5 on my phone. I then wanted to go back to stock os that came with the atrix. I used RSD lite and went back to v 1.26. Before I went to Ginger blur I had a android market that had green on the top on the app. When I went back to v 1.26 it lokked like a plain market with no green on the top and has three icons that say apps, games, and att. I wanted to know how change the market to the one I had before Gingerblur
I believe you could Google for themed market.apk find one you want. Either root to side load app or adb push. Backup of og. is recommended

I wanted to get the stock market that came with the phone no root How would I get it back I have two Atrix one is me moms and one is mine we have the same update but two different markets
Can you use adb?

what is adb
Hopefully, I understand your question correctly.
The android market is a self updating application. If you reflash a sbf and you have an older version, it should autoupdate itself to the latest version. The quickest way to facilitate this is to start the android market app and then press the home hard key to exit out of the application but leave it running. If you use the "back" hard key, you will quit out of the application and it shouldn't be running in the background.
After 15 to 20 minutes, exit out of the market by hitting the back button and then restart it. It should be the latest version at this point.
Hope this works. It worked for me to update my version after flashing the 1.8.3 sbf after I was going back to stock from Gingerblur.
I am trying your way now just have to wait 15-20 minutes now so you know I flashed back to 1.26 and then went to settings on the phone and downloaded the 1.83 update and installed it.
I waited about 15 -20 minutes and restated the market it is still the old version I even turn the phone off and turned it back on
I got the apk file for the update for the market is there any way to install it in the phone

Sorry it didn't work. It had worked for me when I flashed 1.8.3 and needed to update the market. It should work per the google android market help. I'd post the link, but apparently you have to post 8 times before posting a link.
Best of luck.
Hey guys I seem to have lost my Gingerbread stock browser. I was playing with widgets and I wanted to make some space and "removed" my browser from the home panels..not the application panel. Now when I went into applications I cannot seem to find my stock browser!! How do I get it back?! Please help this is very annoying...
Also I don't want to use any other browser..I tried dolphin, and various others..I am not happy with them. Stock seemed to be the smoothest, fastest, and appealing browser to me.
You can't delete the stock browser. Did you check and recheck all the icons in your app drawer? It could be there, I know myself looking over an app for like 10 times, then discover I have it installed when going through the market.
Try a reboot or something, I hope it'll help.

I did a reboot. I'm not sure what you mean by app drawer? Is that the same as the "application" menu with all the apps installed? I'm new to android I just got the Galaxy S2 two days ago, so bare with me. I did the google search in my phone also to help me find it, and it cannot locate it. In fact you need the browser for it so when it asked me to view a web page it asked to use "dolphin" or "skyfire" not my "Internet" browser.
You can't delete Stock browser. You may have deleted the Widget but no way one can remove the system browser. Even I doubt it if it's possible to delete by TB, so it must there in Menu.
Regards.
Yes the App Drawer is the official name for the menu with all the icons. It's very weird you could remove the stock browser. And that you can't select it anymore.
Does your phone give any errors when using the dialer (the app you use to call someone)? Since the SGS2's Dialer.apk relies on the Browser.apk (filename for an android app), weirdly enough.
You cannot remove an app when using the home menu. At least not using the stock TouchWiz interface.
If you have no errors or problems, it HAS to be there.
This happend to me to on my galaxy tab. I think I did it with titanium back up. I don't know how you did it but you can reflash stock software with odin and get it back. You might lose your data.
It's working now. I spent a few hours trying to figure out what happen to the browser! I gave up. Funny thing is before this issue I flashed my ROM to Litening 3.2 I didn't like the bugs on it..especially the very heavy laggy internet bug! So I got a new browser didn't like it. While I was moving my widgets around I usually "remove" them and go back to my app draw to place them again where I want. I went to my app draw...no internet browser. After unable to figure it out..I reflashed my ROM back to the previous litening ROM 3.0. Then what do you know the browser came back! It has nothing to do with litening ROM, but I'm guessing it has a browser.apk in it so it installed it for me again.
Now I am doing something wrong becuase this has happened to me on three different roms a number of times after I odin each one. I cant get past the boot screen. I have tried alot of roms and this is never happened before. So I am guessing I must be doing something wrong over and over. I am not sure if it is the off market apps. I know for a fact when I installed a keybaord off my sd card this happened. But I got rid of it and the apps I install have always worked so I am stuck as if what I am doing to cause all my downloaded and flashed roms to freeze at boot while disllaying thier boot screen that even doing a wipe does NOT fix it. Once it freezez at boot i have to odin and this has happend on three different 2.3.5 roms so I am not sure what to do now.

Let me also add the roms work fine. Its when i install my apps and do my settings that this happens so hard to pin point what it is I am doing wrong.

I overclock to only 1.2
I do system settings like sound and tweaks cm has in these rooms

I'm on gingerbread and is rooted. I attempted to unlock the bootloader which i did and had the soft brick issue (0x1000) and was resolved via the forum. my problem is that after signing on to motoblur it crashes after i get to the home screen. and i have no launcher i can't access anything i can get calls and texts, but cannot get to any drawers to get to any apps or settings. My assumption is that i had ADW as my launcher and home launcher was frozen with other stuff. now could it be that when i tried unlocking the bootloader i should have unfrozen everything prior? if possible i need to get to titanium since i backed up everything. how do i get a launcher on this?
I figured it out....i had to reinstall bloat freezer to un freeze it... since factory reset got rid of my launchers and still kept everything frozen.
admin you can close this post...
I wish more posters were like you, posting in the right section and you know how to find info yourself. You are a dying breed my

I can't post on the Liquid ROM page (been reading XDA for 1 1/2 years but never really post, only learn) otherwise I would ask there.
I downloaded the ROM ZIP file to my sd card. Wiped Cache and Davlik, then flashed the ROM. When it booted it "updated applications" and then opened. It seemed to have saved settings as my old wallpaper, widgets, and applications where in place on the homescreens. Did I not wipe system info or something I must have missed? Things mostly work with the rom, except I can not get mobil data to work at all. Yes I have read all the pages of the post, and realize many have issues with it. I have tried 3 sets of radios and they don't help. Currently I am running the radios from the .9 OTA which several here are using and working fine with the rom. MD5 sums check out fine.
Also Apps placed in my App Dock keep dissapearing, sometimes when I reboot, sometimes when the phone is active.
Further, it seems hard to scroll between screens, whether on home pages or in the app drawer. Maybe it is ICS (this is my first real experience with ICS), was looking for something in settings that would make scrolling easier but could not locate it.
Any help would be appreciated especially with the data..(WIFI works fine). I don't think it is the rom, my initial thoughts are why so many of my settings carried over from CM7....I have flashed many roms in the past, did I just space on a step?
guess I missed wiping system stats, thought all I saw was factory reset, I don't want to do a factory reset though correct? that would unroot...
You need to get 4ext recovery and use the wipe all except sd and then reflash the rom.

thanks, downloaded that the other day, just haven't used it yet. Will give that one a try....
Just installed and looked into 4ext and it gives me the following options:
Wipe Menu:
Stay inside...
Battery stats
Davlik
Cache
Data / factory reset
there is no option for wipe all but sd card. I have the newest version of 4ext v1.0.0.5 RC5 (not the one in testing)
Maybe try using apex launcher instead of the stock browser too. I found it to be a lot smoother than nova.

Why would my email mess up? I can't send mail from either the gmail or the email application. The gmail has a bunch of blank messages with 12/31/1969 as the date.
I really like it but if I have to how do I go back to stock?
Just uninstall apex.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
what is apex and will this help my email problems and how do i uninstall it?
I don't know if it will help the email problem. You can uninstall it from the app manager just like any app. I found if I restore gmail from a backup I get the blank messages. Try just downloading it from the market.

I have been running the MR2V7 rom and have trouble with a couple apps. My Ebay app says unfortunately it has to close. Then my Facebook app shows me the top blue banner and nothing but white screen below it. I have uninstalled and recovered from TiBu, which temporarily corrects the problems until I reboot my phone, in order to get data working again. Any ideas. Thanks in advance...
