i had my at&t avail phone rooted and i was uninstalling built in apps for more space. I use Go Launcher instead of my built in launcher so i decided to uninstall the built in launcher, rebooted the phone and all i see is a black screen with notification bar.
I tried these possible solutions and did not work for me
1. Flash ROM
2. Factory reset
3. using adb
please ! tell me ways to access these applications below to install a launcher app
1. Email (attach a launcher in the email and open it on my phone)
2. Browser (install apk launcher)
3. Settings (enable USB debugging for adb)
4. Google Play ( to install a launcher from the market)
5. and any other way to download a launcher.
my notification bar works... tell me if that can help me launch those apps
Flashing a ROM compatible with your device and firmware version should give you a launcher which will work.
You don't have to do a factory reset just wipe cache and dalvik cache in CWM

If you have the rom's zip file extract the launcher from it and install it via adb.

The rom is corrupted, use another rom or Redownload it and then flash it from CWM.

Is wifi or data works?
In your notification bar is there any option to turn-on wifi or data?
If so, then login to google play in your computer and install any launcher apps. you will see that app to be downloaded in your notification bar.. try opening it.. should work i think...
He has stock recovery. Hence the abort of installation.
Fyi no phone is mantioned you just say it is an AT&T phone.
Anyway with stock recovery you need a launcher in zip and signed. Search and please do mention what device you are using.

Since a week or 4 i got my TP i'm using APEX launcher for now.
And thought i could remove the stock launcher.
i think APEX is good but i wanna go back to Stock.
But there doesn't seem to be a way to install the stock launcher.
i somehow totally forgot to back it up.
I downloaded the stock launcher from a site and tried moving it to the system/app Chmod it rebooted and stil it doesn't work.
Tried it wit adb also no success.
Can someone help me?
Did you try installing the .apk? As far as I know that should work....
if you have the default file manager that goes with the prime, go to the root directory (when in sdcard, tap on the folder with an arrow next to it.) Then press the options button (the button on the very top right corner of the screen) and uncheck hide system files. Then you can see a folder called system. Open it, then app. Then find Launcher2.apk and install it.

Have you tried moving the launcher apk to /system/app directory then fix permissions ? You don't have to have cwm recovery installed , just rom manager . Install rom manager then select fix permissions and reboot , worked for me when I installed apex as system app should also work for installing any other launcher or least I assume.

Thanx for the advice i tried it but it didn't fix my problem.
Maybe someone could upload the launcher2.apk and the .odex from the .15 ww version.
Maybe the one 1 downloaded isn't the right one.
Thanks in advanced.
If i do a factory reset will it put all apps including stock launcher back?
Thanx in advance.
I fixed it.
I was pretty desperate but i fixed it.
For everyone who is as stupid as i was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518462
Download the file of above link.
Extract it >> go to system/app in the extracted folder
Copy Launcher2.apk and the Launcher2.odex
Paste them in the system/app/ of your prime.
Then use ROM manager to fix permissions. Like shreddintyres said.
Reboot and then it should work. It did for me.
Thanks everyone for the help.

ok, I have my phone rooted, i put the vending apk on system/app. Now I am going to log in with another gmail account. Should I install google play? what follows? or should I execute "vending" form the folder you told me?
thanks..
well, I installed it from system/app and it remains crashing
vending.apk is googleplay it self.
hmmmm, lets try erase applications data in settings > application > googleplay.
if it still can't work, i only recommend you to reflash your stock rom.

Gmail most likely deemed it as dangerous so it killed it when it hit the server and will not allow you to download it. Use Dropbox or something like that for this.

try this: http://gizmostorm.com/how-to-fix-package-file-is-invalid-error-on-google-play-store/
In case above steps didn’t worked for you
Boot your device into recovery.
Clear cache partition.
Head over to Advance options.
Clear Dalvik cache.
Simply reboot your droid.
Try Play Store once again and probably you will end up with success in installing any apps and games without any error.

Go to play store. Then click the menu tab in the top left to get to the my apps menu. Then click all. You should then see all apps you've ever installed. Scroll down until you get to a launcher and then keyboard. Hope this helps. PM me if it doesn't. Maybe we can try something else.
