Dear All,
I have accidently deleted the Home launcher app of my Android 2.2 mobile (Chinese H3000 model); as a result it is not going beyond the screen saver at all, the screen just turns blank with no widgets/shortcuts/buttons appearing at all!
Although it rings & receives calls when called.
I have already tried factory reset option.
Can anyone help me resolve this problem
regards
Naveen

Dear Mr Akshay,
Thanks for responding but none of the two options work - Couldn't see play store in the launch on pressing & holding Home key; was able to access play store via gmail login on my PC & tried downloading - the message did appear that it will be loaded shortly on the device but thereafter nothing on the Phone. The main problem is that I'm not getting any menu buttons at all, it's only a blank screen as soon as I unlock the screen saver i.e I have no settings button or any other button. While connected to PC only the sd card gets read in the windows explorer on PC, but there's way to open sd card on phone!

Missing launcher fixed!
Hello to all!
I note a lot of inquires on this site many of users using programs's like Titanium backup and other "advance" users just deleted Launcher as soon is they get there hands on the root!
Then they find out that they can see only black screen. Many of you try to replace it with dozen of software's but find out that Debugging mode is off. And is no way that can be enabled.
Well not all that bad as it shows. Firs at all if you are still log in to your Google app go to your account on Google go to apps and download, it will stated online that item is available on your phone now it over, top bar you can see it and install it come to the phone via Ethernet - WiFi or 4G.
If you already reset your phone or hard reset and you still see the black screen watch my video on how to get launcher in to your phone very simple, using dongle, other Bluetooth enabled laptop or smart phone!
youtu.be/MGrhmAgKH0o
I has face the same problem as you and i has done it right way
Since you has root your android phone,I know that you are very excited to remove those unusefull apps same as me.I got the same problem as you that I also used China Mobile phone and can't done any of the suggestion here(suggested such as flash those .zip in recovery) that won't work on china mobile type.When I has delete my home launcher,one thing for sure,the screen is black after turned on and I did reset factory data in recovery mode(worst move ever cause my wifi connected password has totally gone).So,my first effort was I take my moms tablet and start downloading any launcher (.apk) .Okay,since before I get into black screen,If I press lock key,the ring menu will appear right?.I used those ring menu as a door to get into my bluetooth connection.At the ring menu,I drag it towards 'camera',and then click on the pictures that you have captured(gallery in camera).Just pick any random photo and click share (via bluetooth) after that,I send a photo to my moms tablet(actually just to make pairing cause can't go to bluetooth settings).After paired,I try to send the home launcher.apk from my moms tablet using bluetooth connection that has been paired this before.Eventually,after receive the apk file,I can't open it.It says "no application can perform this action"(but,maybe you should try it first.Maybe it'll work on you.If not, try another one of my step).So,I was frustrated having an unsolved solutions through internet source information and I almost dump my phone in the dustbin.But then,I try another way.This time,I use the same door/way(through camera in ring menu).But this time I try to send through gmail(I don't think that I have any wifi or data connection after reset factory data eh?!).But boom !! The idea comes to me that I try to send the photo through gmail account just to make a wifi connection(again,because I can't go to settings).So,after I try to send it through gmail,the Sign-In screen will appear(but remember,I don't have any wifi/data connected.What I'm going to do?!!).I just filled in my email and password and click Sign-In.Of course the connection can't be made because there is no connection at all.But the trick is,when you wait for a few seconds,you will be asked to make a wifi connection(automatically the wifi around you appear in the list).So,make a connection through any wifi and sign-in(yeay!!connection established !).After that,I try to send home launcher.apk through gmail using my mom's tablet to my phone and a few moments later you will get a gmail notification through notification bar.Click on it,and click install.There you go.You are safe again.

Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread on this site, so please bear with me for a bit. Earlier today my S2 was working fine, i was browsing the net, chatting and etc. But when i started my "whats app" it started lagging for a bit, because i was chatting to a group. Then all of a sudden when i lock my phone and later on unlocked it, it said the phone was running on "Safe Mode". Soo i google'd "how to exit safe mode on galaxy" and it gave me a few solutions, one of them told me to switch off the phone and remove the battery for a minute. I did that, and all of a sudden when i unlock my phone, applications keep crashing including the interface itself ("TWLauncher" i guess that's its name) Soo please help me as i don't know much about this. My phone is not even rooted, i could manage to open the task manager but that's all. I can't even use the usb as it will crash again. All help would be greatly appreciated =)
*small update* I could access my settings and i could switch to the ics launcher but i still can't use the net and stuff =S
Basically I've noticed the default apps that comes with the phone are acting up :S

You have not backed up your data ??? Nor do you have a nandroid backup ???
If so you need to access the internal storage of the phone via USB mass storage and copy off what you can .
Alternative methods such as rooting and installing a no wipe custom rom will probably keep your data but void warranty .

If you are not worried about your applications you just do factory reset of the phone and try
settings/privacy/factory data reset
if you are not able to do this,
Volume Up + Home + Power brings your Phone into Recovery Mode.
Volume up: Highlight up
Volume down: Highlight down
Home: select
Power: back
select wipe data factory reset
if your phone keep crashing and you will not be able to factory reset... then you can did it from recovery mode from stock ..
Just hold power-menu-vol up from off condition then chooswl wipe data from recovery mode
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )

Have the exact same issue... Coby Kyros 7033 with no Google Play... Installed the latest and greatest download of Google Play successfully, but it just opens and then closes immediately.
What's the easiest way to get Google Play on a Coby Kyros 7033?
Google Play onto Kyros 7033
I purchased one of these tablets to play around with, and cannot install Google Play onto it either.
It will load, then it closes instantly!!
Any suggestions would be more than welcome!!
If I have posted this in the wrong area, please forgive me!!
Thank you!!
Google Play, Coby Kyros 7033 - No Root Needed
You can actually get the Android Market (precursor to the more current Play Store) on this device fairly quickly and without root. I just did this process on a friend's tablet today. He purchased it for his son for Christmas on Cyber-Monday.
The main problem, I think, is that many people are trying to install the latest Google Play APK file and it's just not supported on this device. You can get around this by installing the older Android Market.
Okay, before we begin... I'm going to assume you have everything stock and are using the stock browser for downloading the files attached to this message.
Additionally, I'm going to assume you have already created a Google GMail account and know your username and password. (You will need this to access the store later during setup, so if you don't have one yet... head over to Google and set one up.)
Finally, I'm going to assume you've first read this ENTIRE post before attempting anything.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if this results in a bricked device. It shouldn't, however, because we are not modifying any essential items and we are not ROOT'ing the device. This is perfectly above-board.
---- START ----
1.) Download the files attached to this message and save them on your tablet. NOTE: This installs an older version of the Android Market, not the current Google Play store... but it still works.
Be aware, that the selection of apps is limited, but you can still work with it. For example, it does not have the original Angry Birds app. That's available in GetJar or Amazon Appstore however.
2.) Open the App list (by tapping the box made of little squares, mine was in the upper right hand corner of the tablet)
3.) Open ES File Explorer (or whatever you are using for a file manager)
4.) Open the folder where the .apk files are... if you are using the stock browser, the files will be in the "downloads" folder
5.) Run them in the following (very specific) order
**** IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you install the last file (com.android.vending) and click "Done", it will automatically launch the Market setup. DO NOT CONTINUE THE SETUP at this point!!! It will mess up the whole process. ****
a.) OneTimeInitializer.apk --> Click Done
b.) SetupWizard.apk --> Click Done
c.) GoogleServicesFramework-signed.apk --> Click Done
d.) com.android.vending.3.3.12.apk --> Click Done
**** Again, at this point... the Market setup will begin. Do not enter anything ****
6.) Press and hold the Power button to turn the tablet off. Yes, I know you just interrupted the setup process... but this step is needed so that all the apk's you just installed have been processed properly BEFORE running the setup sequence.
7.) Once you are sure it's completely off... Turn it back on
9.) After the initial Coby Kyros screen, you will see a menu with two options BEFORE it lands at the desktop...
*** Check the "Use this as default" box on the very bottom (it's very small).
*** Then select the option on top ("Launcher"). You do NOT want to run the "Setup Wizard".
10.) Make sure you are connected to an active Wi-Fi connection (open your browser and navigate to this forum to ensure it's working)
11.) Open the Apps list (by tapping the box made of little squares, again mine was in the upper right hand corner of the tablet)
12.) Tap on the "Android Market" icon in this list. It will be the default, ugly android APK icon.
13.) Select the option that you already have a GMail account
14.) Enter your GMail username and password... and continue
15.) In a few seconds, you should be able to access the Market.
If you want to redeem Google Play gift cards with this version of the Market/Play store... go here (http://play.google.com/redeem)
-------- END ---------
I hope this works for you as quickly as it worked for us. It only took about 15 minutes and my friend was able to purchase Minecraft Pocket Edition for his son to play on this device. We ran the game and verified it was working smoothly.
Cheers!!!
Followed every step... gets to where I can sign in or create a new google account. Log in with my current google account... get the status bar that says: Your Phone needs to communicate with Google Servers to set up your account... may take 5 min....
Fails every time... "Cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server" And it's not because I'm not on the internet, cause I'm sitting at usatoday.com to verify internet connectivity in the browser.

I don't have this tablet in front of me... I just helped my friend set it up.
That being said, this is a common problem for Android phones.
Here are a few things to try...
1. Try going to YouTube through the app and login with your gmail account.
2. Go to GMail app and add your account
3. Sign into Gmail account with your username and password
4. Go back through the login process
Alternately,
1. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, tap Google apps
2. Tap clear data, then okay
3. Try again.

Wow, that will take a little research. My first thought is to do a factory reset and start over.
I'll see what I can dig up.

You can try going to Google Play from a computer browser and logging in, picking a free app, and try sending it to your tablet from there. It should automatically download and install. That doesn't give you a working market you can browse on your tablet though.
From what I can find, it sounds like the market app version is not correct or is corrupted.
Please verify that you used the one included in my post above.
If so, try the following....
1. Settings -> Applications -> Market -> Force Stop, Clear Cache
2. Restart tablet and try Market
If still not working...
1. Settings -> Applications -> Market -> Force Stop, Clear Cache, Clear Data
2. Restart tablet and try Market... you'll probably have to login again
If still not working, factory reset the tablet and refer back to my original post. Make sure you don't try to login after install until you've reset the tablet. (Follow the steps exactly).
If still doesn't work, I'm stumped and I'm sorry. I hope one of these works.

No problem. I'm glad you got it working finally.
For some reason, the Coby Kyros tablets do not work well with Google Play.
They do work with the old Android Market (the apk for which, if anyone else is reading this thread, is a download in my first post).
Don't worry though, you'll still see all the "compatible" apps.
Between the Android Market and GetJar, you should be able to get most apps.

After after that... You are stuck....
You can wipe your device to factory stock and try again before you do anything to the tablet.

I've been scouring the references on this and the only thing I can suggest is trying this (different) framework package (see attachment). It's worked for a few other tablets, but I have no idea if it will work for you.
Beyond that, I'm completely stumped so I truly hope it works. I'm sorry I can't be of much help as I do not have the tablet to try this out (I was just helping a friend with his son's tablet and the original files worked flawlessly for us).
P.S. Did you do a complete factory reset on the device and attempt the process a second time? It may help if something got mis-installed during the original attempt.
From my research you start with a completely powered down tablet...
1. Turn on the tablet by pressing and holding the Power Button, Volume Down (-) and the Back Button
2. After a couple seconds you should see the android logo with instructions on formatting the tablet
(*). If that doesn't work, try pressing and releasing the power button, then pressing and holding the three buttons as soon as you see the Coby logo
Best regards!

Hi! I've got a challenge for you guys! It happens that I own a coby kyros mid7033-4 and I've tried so hard to root it. I have tried with superoneclick, bin4ry, unlock root (which actually says that supports my tablet but it tells me that it failed to shell root), and android root. This last one, android root, worked, but not properly. Some programs tell me my device is rooted but root check tells: Sorry! This device does not have a proper root access. Help me! I'm trying to root so that I can install google now on ics.

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you'll run across a solution. In the meantime, you can install the Amazon Appstore which has most of the same apps as the Google Play market. That was our back-up plan for my friend's tablet. He was insistent on getting Minecraft on it for his son.
Best of luck.

I'm completely stumped on rooting this tablet. I've seen many threads on it, but no one has achieved full root on it that I'm aware of. If you find an exploit, please be sure to post it!
Best of luck to you too!
This worked for me! Thanks. I did have to clear the data and then reset before it would communicate with google servers

Glad it worked for you.

Hello everybody,
I've gotten my hand on the Goophone I5.. one of lucky 200 first to get this phone.
The hardware is surprisingly great but the software is just... terrible. I really hope someone can help me out on this.
*This phone came in pre-rooted*
# PROBLEM NUMBER 01
1) Their china-iphone 5 launcher is so damn laggy
2) Hence I downloaded ilauncher (downloaded the apk because.. #problem 2)
3) But the problem is, i can't seem to change the default launcher to ilauncher because these china dudes actually mapped the home button to their self-made launcher -_- So even if you download golauncher etc and you press the home button, it does not allow you to change the launcher at all?!
4) The only way i manage to get into ilauncher is via easy touch.
I tried uninstalling their default launcher and guess what. The menu button now does not work at all. Unbelievable. I remember reading up on how it is possible to change configuration of the home button but i'm not too sure on how to do so. If someone could enlighten me, i would really be grateful.
# PROBLEM NUMBER 02
1) Their google play store just simply doesn't work. I've tried installing all the google services applications, changing the permission setting of vending.apk to rw-r--r-- and whenever google market successfully connects to google server it simply just force closed (Google Play has stopped responding).
2) I've tried market enabler but it doesnt seem to help at all.
Anybody has a clue?

Hey how you going. Ok I got the Zophone i5 yesterday and I was having the same problem as you regards to problem number to. mine seem to work by naming the market file to vending.apk and setting the permission. Another thing you can try is this.
(sorry I cant post the link but go on youtube and search Thunderbird i5 LTE - How to install the android market (play store)!
I know he does not have the real goophone but it might work.
good luck
Try this
i havnt gotten my hands on one yet but if you can root it you could download a button remapper and have the home button actually set to home or i think you can set it to open up apps so in your case the launcher
Good luck!
Goophone I5 Lite
Hi all,
You don't need to root the phone or try to.
The goophone i5 comes rooted from factory.
To access the clockworkmod just turn off phone
Power Button + Volume Down [-]
And that's it!
If your phone get bricked on the boot logo you just need to press the tiny button between the camera and flash.
To change the boot logo into the apple logo, please follow the steps:
Get a Root Explorer (I recommend ES File Manager)
Navigate to System/Media/ and you will notice that there is 4 files named Bootanimation.zip, Shutdownanimation.zip and bootanimationIphone.zip and shutdownanimationIphone.zip.
Just rename the rename the original ones to bootanimationgp.zip and shutdownanimation.zip and delete the word iphone from the other ones. This way you will get the Original Apple boot animations.
To remap the home button please go to system/usr/keylayout/ and open the file named mkt-kpd.kl as text, scroll down to the key 102 and just rename the Home to Back, save the file, reboot phone and that's it.
Notice that you'll lose the double tap to go the the task manager, lock screen orientation , etc.
To remove all the chinese apps just go to system/apps/ and delete whatever you want. Do not delete system files, otherwise your phone will not work properly.
To install google software, just get the G_Apps from google for ICS version, or copy them from an existing rom running the ICS 4.0.x. Copy all the files into system/app/, reboot the phone and that's it.
After reboot you will see that you'll have all the google apps, but it will be shown an error com.google.process.gapps stoped. I haven't solved this yet. i can add an google account, all the apps like gmail, gtalk, google +, messenger works but google play don't! It opens, you can search for apps but when you try do download them it crashes giving and error 906.
I'm using aptdoide for now..until i get this solved.
I hope this information help you out solving some of the goophone software issues.
Don't forget to press thanks button is this information is usefull for you.
Regards.

Hi guys
I hope can help me. I have the zophone i5 and it will not let me get into recovery mode. I can get into the screen where it says recovery mode with the apply logo and it gets stuck and thats it.
Another issue was I thought it might have been the phone so I reset it via factory mode but it is the same and I have lost the apple unlock screen and the slide to power off. I have tried to find what add they were using on my phone but cant seem to find it, does anyone know what its called?
Also for your issue of google play issue you might want to try this
(sorry I cant post the link but go on youtube and search Thunderbird i5 LTE - How to install the android market (play store)!
hope that helps
Thanks

hello guys,
i need some help please, i've just rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 - GTP3100 by following this video at youtube, since i cant put outside link
it's on the first video list when you type "how to root galaxy tab 2" this video is made by droidcheats
Then i pressed volume up + power button and ended backing up my device on internal sd card wrongly. Now my phone working very very slow because of memory low.
I've tried to deleted the back up by pressing volume up + power and then deleted the files in "back up and restore"
but my device still low on memory, i tried to reset it few times and suddenly it goes on black screen
my tablet still able to finished load samsung logo and still looked fine on homescreen
but after i slide it to unlock, the black screen is occurred
i still can access settings, home and back button
specially when i access settings, i can't do anything like formating device or deleting applications
i've tried to restore factory settings using clockworkmode by pressing home button and volume up
it worked.
but when i try to restored my previous back up data, the black screen re occurred.
what should i do?
if i can't fix this problem and will have to reset on factory settings, is there any application to read the back up data? since i backed up it on external sd card
probably if i can read the data, i could restore some important data.
thanks before
dude

then it got back to normal
but when i try to restore the data using CMW back up and restore
the problem occurred again...
OK so can you do me a favour try to install kingoandroidroot from www.kingoandroidroot.com
And download the website download and not the cnet option as there will be two options
Once downloaded try to root the phone again and tell me what happened
Do you know what I think is that the root which you rooted earlier didn't downloaded the phones driver so try the kingo root
And rooting software in the phone is SuperSu

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
what do you think?
Ok so go to Google.com and search for kingoandroidroot if that didn't work tell me your email id and i will send you the software
For an oath i won't do any harm or send any harm through the email. Because i am a kind of person without no misbehavior
If you don't believe just create a fake account

I Have Peace mobile
I have rooted my mobile and used freedom app then my google play was not working i have done change in hosts then my google play started working.
another day my fried again used freedom
i was disappointed i tried changing the hosts file but no use.
so i visited etc/system/vendor/ and then deleted all three folders
i have also made change in hosts
when i exited after saving all none of the application was working
when i rebooted my mobile
launcher has been stopped message is coming
notification bar is coming down and working but when i click on settings again same message - unfortuneately settings has been stopped.
Also calls are coming and i am able to receive them. Messages are also coming but when i click on message from notification bar same message messages has been stopped then launcher has been stopped.
When there is a missed cal i tap on that logs are opening and i am able to dial numbers but when i press on call button after 3-4 seconds my mobile restarts.
I think this is custom Rom problem.
i have tried factory data rest from recovery mode but no use
i want a custom ROM for my mobile and the method to install it in my mobile or any other resolving method.
Is there any option that i can install new ROM and OS on my mobile from PC without powering on my mobile . If there please tell me
