[Help] Touchwiz Home Has Stopped - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys!
As the title suggest, I get "Unfortunately, Touchwiz Home/Luancher has stopped" with ANY rom i use.
I only recently rooted the S2, flashed roms such as portal rom, perfect galaxy, tweaky rom, DiLiDroid, and every time i swipe to another home screen, I always get the error message after the screen freezes, goes black and unresponsive for about a 1min.
Every time i have flashed one of the roms, i do a full wipe, cache and dalvic. Yet the problem persist every time.
Please help guys!

---

Whenever I have flashed a new ROM I wipe cache and dalvik, format system and data using CWM and then factory reset. This seems to help me.
Regarding the Launcher not working when I had this problem I had to install a 3rd party launcher like Go Launcher, ADW or Nova.
The status bar is still accessible without a launcher (when you swipe down it may take a while to respond but it should work eventually, phone just has to think about it a bit) So either go onto the Google Play website and install through there and then you will get a notification sent to your status bar to install the Launcher or get someone to Bluetooth a Launcher APK file to your phone.
Sorry I cant help with fixing TW Launcher but this is my way to help you get a good working phone again
I prefer the other launchers over TW anyway
Hope I've been at least SOME help lol
Good luck mate!

Thanks for your input . I also flashed rom with CWM and did all the wipes like i mentioned before, but problem with the TW Launcher is still there.

---

I hope you didn't restore system data from Titanium Backup, especially for TW.

---

Dilidroid has touchwiz of its own (galaxy s3)
If you are restoring it from backup, it simply wont work.
However after backup you can try clearing data and then use

---

Settings,applications then clear tw data.

Did you try installing a 3rd party Launcher? Once you have a working launcher on your phone you can then wipe data for TW and reinstall the TW Launcher. Then as you will now have 2 launchers on your phone it will ask you which one to use by default, simply choose TW launcher and uninstall the 3rd party launcher.
This worked for me anyway

my phone reboot automatically after on bluetooth.

Touchwiz is a stock launcher, that's the launcher that came with your phone the first time you got a hold of it.
Now, in order to get a 3rd party home launchers going on your phone, you need to have a nuclear weapon ready.
just kidding (that was a really bad joke -.-)
anyway,
just go to the Market (Google Play) and search "Launcher"
I'm pretty sure the first one that would show up would be GoLauncher.. after you have decided which launcher to use, just click on install

Hi Without TouchWiz Home working, I can only answer my phone or emails, I cannot access Play from my phone because I have no Apps menu or home screens. Any Idea as to how I can install GoLauncher?

OK I managed to
(1) Force installation og Go Launcher by stealth, sending myself emails, phoning myself, enablling a task bar and finally installing via a PC connection to Play then install onto mt Galaxy S3.
(2) Going to PimpMyROM on the S3, reverting to standard "Density" What on earth is "Density? you may ask. My advice is - Don't touch it, (I'd thought at first I might be able to change My phone by a few grams per cc and make it float weightlessly in the air)
Well I'd been foolish enough to reduce my DPI from the standard 320 to 300. After all the PMR interface had warned to avoid High or Low resolutions. (There, I've gone and used the R word instead of the D-word; shows how much I know).
3) Re-anabling Samsung's defauly TouchWiz launcher.
Now, am I a fool for doing so? I can tell you - without a GUI or command line your Galaxy S3's as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle/
I feel like I've been to hell and back!

You can factory reset your phone.... It should solve the problem. ..
Else try downloading go launcher by signing into gmail and going to play store. ..via pc installing from there...
If you've signed in with the same ID which you're using with your phone then, go launcher or any other app should automatically get installed on your phone, whenever the phone is connected to the internet..
Press thanx if I helped. ..

you should unroot the device and then take it to samsung center and ask to re-install the firmware
I've got the same case as you

No need to do that when you can:
- factory reset
- clear dalvik cache
- clear data from apps
- nuke script
- reflash

Hi,
It looks like the issue with the S Planner Widget on the home screen tab.
Goto Settings --> Application Manager --> All
Go to the bottom of the list named S Planner Widget
Click Clear Data
Click Force Stop
Click Disable
Now the Touch Wiz home screen will load without any problem.
It happend to me today and by doing this, I can now open the homescreen without any issue.

Thanks the above fix worked for me
