ICS LP7 - Twlauncher keeps stopping ! - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Have checked to see if this has been mentioned, but not found anything.
A week ago I installed ICS via Kies (LP7 XEU), all has been fine until this morning when I powered up the phone. I get a message saying "Unfortunetly Twlauncher has stopped" ! only option is OK, and that's it. I press this then get a black screen, and then my wallpaper. If I then press the middle button, a few seconds later I get the same message! Basically I can't do anything with the phone. Settings button gives the same message too. All I can do is hold down power button to give me power down, reboot etc... I've removed battery, etc... still no luck. I don't want to go down the delete data, factory reset route if I can help it , any idea's ?
Thanks
Lee

First of all, there's a Q&A section.
Go to Settings->Applications-> Manage-> All -> find twlauncher -> clear data and reboot. See if it helped.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the Q&A. Problem is I can't even get access to the Settings menu on the phone as this causes the Twlauncher has stopped message too

I've had the same problem. I tried to clean dalvik and cache in CWM but it didn't work. So I flashed an official ICS rom. But you could install a launcher remotely from
https://play.google.com/
And then install it on your phone, backup everything, and then flash a rom

phone turn lockscreen on and off

hay
i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??

its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.

i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

do post back the results i had the same problem long time ago, but factory reset solved it
for now its ok, but IDK how long.
Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

[Q] Locked of of Settings Menu..pls help

Hello Everyone.
Im having a bit of a problem. Im running the unoffifial beta 2v4 the latest one by flapjaxx. The rom to me in my opinion was running fine until i downloaded all the inverted app for this rom throu the update tools function. I was pretty happy with my choice of rom i loved it. The problem began when my phone started to jam up when looking at my inverted contacts menu, the phone would give me a quick hiptic vibrate and then restart my apex launcher..So long sory short I factory reset the phone and now i can get into the settings menu. Phone states App not installed. i wiped the cach clean and did 3 factory resets btw and It still wont let me into the Settings..The phone now says settings is blocked for security reasons.. what the heck did I do wrong

you can try titanium backup..see if settings is in there and restore it(at your own risk, but its worth a shot), OR start from scratch and re-flash ROM. (do a back up of course!!!
good luck!!!

Desktop not starting

Hi,
when I reset my Optimus One with VolDown, Power + Home something got messed up and I received a phone where the desktop is not starting any longer.
After the above reset the setup screen appears where I can choose my language etc, but at the last step I get a force close message for the Setup Wizard every single time. When I then force close, the screen goes dark except for the status bar on the top.
After a while the phone autolocks and I can see the lock screen with moving grass and time etc. When I unlock, again the black screen with only the status bar on top.
The phone receives SMS messages and calls and shows the appropriate screen, just no desktop to choose any apps to start. I can even long press home and then get the recent apps screen with no apps to start.
Can someone help me to get my phone functional again?
Thanks.

seems like problem with your launcher app. use adb push command to push new launcher in your phone.
no debug

Yes that would be a good idea if I could enable USB debug. But I cannot get to the settings where I could enable USB debug, therefore ADB push is not a possible option for me.
u can log into your google account on desktop and install any launcher app from playstore , it will automatically get installed on your cell if your data is on.

Thanks again for ur input: But the VolDown Menu Power thing did a complete reset and therefore the phone is completely virgin, i.e. no google account is set-up.
While during initial boot the setup wizard comes up, I get the error message:
"The application Setup Wizard (process.com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
So I cannot setup a google account for this phone.
u may be able to go to contacts screen while on call. there u will have an option to add google account. try this n if this doesn't work try resetting your phone again.
Thank you! That did it! I called myself with another phone and during the call via the menu button I was able to go into the account section and add an account. Then the play store updated (some time is needed for registration to take hold on the play store web site) and then I installed the Go launcher via web install.
After I got access to the launcher, I immediately activated USB debugging in Settings > Application Settings > Development and also install from unknnown sources in Application Settings.
I wrote these details so that people with the same problem of corrupted launcher or setup wizard know what to do.
BTW before I tried numerous phone resets but none solved the problem.
Now I still have the following problem: To root a reset is suggested to have a clean file system. A reset however again gives me the above problem. How can I break that vicious cycle?
Again, thanks a million for your help.

Binser

No need of reset or so, just root and install clockworkmod recovery via ROM manager app, choose optimus 1 old baseband even if u r on new coz the recovery for old baseband is much more stable.
NOTE:-
do not choose to boot into recovery from ROM manager,u might end up at emergency mode. instead use the key combo to enter into recovery.
don't choose to factory reset from phone menu once u have installed custom recovery, instead do that from recovery.
Thanks, hephappy's ICS CM9 is running well now.
There is only one problem, possibly because I did not get your advice about old baseband in time: Cannot make or receive calls/texts, but I am being asked for SIM PIN and the phone shows the carrier ID in notifications.
My phone has the 20d baseband - is that the problem? Do I need to upgrade to 20g or would that not matter?
Regards,
Binser
OK, I flashed the 20G baseband and the problems are now history. I can make an receive calls.
There was a problem when flashing: The phone did not reboot into recovery mode. I had to do that manually and disable the LG modem. Then when the process was done I the phone showed 20G baseband, but no IMEI and network. I solved that by using the saved NV2 file in a subdirectory of the LGMDP.exe and the NV Restore button on the program icon bar.
Now everything is fine.
Again, thank you for your help.

[Q] [Bootloop][GT-I9100G][Rooted/Unrooted]

Hi All
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100G) for over 2 years UNROOTED , yesterday, I rooted it and all went successfully and smoothly in a way I didn't believe that I done it :angel: , but unfortunately I tried to change my System theme , boot animation and installed one of themes offered by "ROM Toolbox Lite" app , then it prompts me to reboot in order for the changes to take place, I done.
The Problem, when it reboots it didn't change any of the boot animation, and when I swipe the screen in (Swipe the screen to unlock) window It freezes and reboots again and again.
One of the solutions I've tried is to Unroot my mobile phone and all went successfully but the problem remains the same! Couldn't enter my home screen to remove the theme , moreover, I tried to wipe system/factory data, to return to main factory settings and nothing changes! , to make matters worse , I wiped the cache partition , when I reboot the phone I got an error message saying :
"App (COMANDROIDUI) stopped unexpectedly . Please try again later", I tabbed on "Force close" then the status bar vanishes and phone freezes for 4 seconds and reboots again :crying: , btw, it shows to me the screen of green android avatar which means that it successfully reset to default factory settings, I didn't flash any custom ROM or made any changes to kernel or firmware.
Now I couldn't open my phone any more :crying:
Any one help me pleaaase , U could assume am a noob
Thanks in advance

Phone stuck in a bootloop after updating apps

Hey there,
So my One X+ has been on the CM 12 for about 1 year now, but 5 days ago I was updating the apps from the google store as usual and then my phone rebooted.
It started Preparing apps, then the phone turned on. I got the message "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped”, I get an empty desktop and after 15 seconds or so the phone reboots and start the process all over (preparing apps).
Any idea what I can do to fix the issue without resetting the phone?
I found this thread here but the problem is i dont have enough time in the phone to get to safe mode.
Sorry I am not the most skilled when it comes to dealing with the android platform
Thanks for the help in advanced
Edit: Ok so I Wiped the Cache and Dalvik Cache on TWRP and managed to boot, but the desktop and all the icons are gone, the phone is extremely slow, and as i try to get to the apps section the settings to force stop trebuchet, i get Settings has crashed msg and am sent back to the desktop and after a while the phone rebooted again.
Any ideas?
You can try to install a new launcher via the PC Google store.
Otherwise, try to go to recovery and factory reset.
Or try to flash another ROM. (Viper+)
When in recovery, you can connect your phone to the pc and transfer your files, if you want.
