Ive got launcher pro that i use for homescreen. During the day the pop up that lets homescreen appeared, by mistake i pressed the default sony and not launcher pro.
Now the phone is in an endless loop and com.sonyericsson.homescreen crash at start. So cant get into to options etc.
Im guessing the only solution is a complete reset?

Sorry to bother you with such stupid question. I messed up ADW while trying to modify a theme. Now ADW crashes everytime and in a perpetual loop of crashing and restarting.
I can switch to the default home screen but I'd really like to go back and reset ADW back to what it was (I do have a backup working setup). Can anyone help?

Uninstall and reinstall?
That's what I ended up doing. However, after restoring the setting and desktop, all the widgets shown as failed to load. I found out that I didn't *really* miss that theme that I was working on though, that was only half done when this happened.
Oh well, time to start over with something completely different
Thanks!
on villain rom 2.4.2 and use launcher pro
last few days whatever launcher I choose , the launcher won't stay as default after ive ticked the box.
happens on tw launcher asell so is not launcher pro.
have cleared defaults in mange applications numerous times
have reinstalled launcher pro.
have frozen some apps, so that could be a culprit. but none I would of thought would cause this issue.
anyone got any ideas?
any help much appreciated before I reflash vr.
have also tried home switcher app to clear the defaults and choose but still same issue.
a restart has fixed the issue for about 5 mins before, but it always starts again
this unfortunately happens from time to time with launcher pro. I love the launcher but the application has not been updated in a while. just press the home button and it should automatically bring back launcher pro.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
just pressing the home button leaves the select your launcher window up. I think our problems are different.
launcher pro is working fine, even if I select touch wiz as my default launcher, enter an app, then press the home key it asks me again to select the launcher and the default tick box.
same as when I reboot the phone, first thing it asks me is what launcher I want!
think I'm gonna wipe and reflash, but just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. as this only started a week after I flashed villain rom, so don't think, its rom related either.
Other than having to change my default launcher on boot, I'm quite happy with my nexus 7. Wonder if the stock launcher can be removed without crippling the system.
every time I try to install an app it pulls up the apk handler asking me how I want to install it...no problem right? Well, now it's repetitively opening it probably 300x/minutes and closing it...won't allow me to select to install it at all...
This wouldn't be that big of a problem except that I have Thumb Keyboard installed and I can't type until I reinstall thumb keyboard b/c of the rebooting/power glitch of thumb keyboard not sticking.
I can't hit the home button because when I try to it asks which home to default to (I JUST installed ADWEx launcher and then my tablet auto-rebooted on its own after I tried to change the wallpaper)...It gets stuck in the same loop cycle that the installation process gets stuck in...except this time it's with the default home launcher.
Any ideas?
Try the failed boot restore. Interrupt the boot, ten times, and it will do a complete system restore.

Any other options outside of this?
I was able to send zeam launcher via downloading from market.android.com
That enabled me to get to the AppMenu where I could change my keyboard to the stock keyboard...
I now have a keyboard back up and working.
What I don't have? I cannot install any apps or set a default home. Do you think this has something to do with the Nook Home replacement app that I had downloaded?
Update:
I guess to add a description...
So I can't open any menus that don't already have default applications...when I try to, they keep popping up over and over and over again.
I can never select anything when the popups are going on. I can double-tap nook home and it takes me back to the stock home. I installed
Nook Color Apps Manager via market.android.com (it has push install so I didn't have to worry about choosing a package installer)
I uninstalled ADW Ex, the Nook Home Launcher Replacement for rebinding the Nook key, Go Launcher Ex, and Zeam.
Next Update:
After uninstalling Dolphin and Firefox nightlies, it took me back to default Browser. I was then able to reboot the NT. My problem of not being able to select on a screen that didn't have a default app already disappeared.
However, after redownloading the HomeCatcher.apk, I was unable to rebind the double tap to my launcher of choice.
A reboot and a fresh download of HomeCatcher.apk has it working again.
Everything is pretty much back up and running at this point.
Final Update
Everything is back up and working. I hope this thread is helpful to someone at some point if they struggle with this same problem.
I'm posting updates as I go in case anyone encounters this same problem...maybe what I am doing will help you fix the issue without having to do an entire factory reset:S
Hello,
I am using HTC desire X,(unrooted)
I usually change launchers, was using ss launcher for quite long time, since a week there is a problem with the system,
Its repeatedly asking for deafult launcher to be set. Shows pop up when i press home screen( Complete action using- HTC sense or SS launcher)
Even if i select always option"" it again pop ups after few time.
This problem is not only for ss launcher, i have tried deactivating ss launcher and installed other lau"nchers and tried, yet the same pop up appears
Not able to use any laaunchers..
Plz help for a solution with out resetting the device......
I have micromax canvas juice 4 q382. It has built 5.1 lollipop.
Quad Core, 1.3 GHz Spreadtrum SC7731G /1 GB RAM. Also I like to mention my device has been rooted.
After update from micromax the system was hanged. So I have done factory reset using Factory reset option.
But after factory reset the Lock screen appear, but when I tried to unlock then the “Home screen “open with no app launcher or app drawer, nothing is there only the wallpaper. And within a few second the “Home screen” also disappeared and screen get black and no light.
Then I press the power button which take me to the lock screen and from there I open settings (using small gear icon on top status bar). And from there open all apps and select any Launcher (like launcher3 or other installed launcher).
But I can install any app from play store and can update. Also new launcher when started working fine. But the problem is when I restart the pone the same Home screen appeared and no launcher invoked at startup.
I tried different launcher but same issue persists. I have reset the phone and rebooted many times, but the same problem appears. I tried to set different launcher at “Home” option in settings but nothing happened.
If there is any way to put any launcher at startup then this can be resolve, but I am not very much familiar to Android OS and its tricks.
Also the keyboard sometimes didn’t invoke.
Please tell me how to start Launcher (any) and Keyboard at startup (after restart) ?
Is there any APK available which can resolve this issue?
I am being tired by Factory reset, that has not served any solution.
Thanks in advance…..
