[Q] Bootloop after installing different launchers - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Goophone i5S. It's an iPhone 5S clone running a heavily-iOS7-themed Android 4.2.1 I'm having a problem installing most launcher on the Play Store. First I tried was Apex Launcher. When I tried to open it after installing, the phone suddenly restarted and went to boot loop. The way I got out of it is by plugging my phone to the pc then the phone booted and asked what launcher to use on default. I chose the default iphonehome then uninstalled the Apex Launcher.
I made a backup from the stock recovery (bcause there's no CWM or TWRP for this phone yet and I dont have knowledge on porting or compiling)
and tried other launchers such as Nova, ADW, GO Launcher and others but they all caused the phone to bootloop.
Any clue on whats causing this problem? I really want to use an original android launcher on this phone.
Thanks in advance

Repair your phone and install DarkX10 again.

[Q] Motorola Swich.apk

Can anyone help me how to install motoswich.apk...i uninstaled the application from my phone and i have a black screen..
can anyone help me with this application and how to install this on my phone..i tried with Android injector but i didn't worked...or a solution to install new software (i can't activate usb debugging)
sorry my bad english
And that is why you ALWAYS enable usb debugging.You can either flash a sbf if its available if your phone is from Motorola.
Or, you can try to flash a system partition over your current one. So what phone do you have? One option might not be
available if your phone isn't that well known.
Okay nevemind. This kinda happened for me too. What you wanna do is download a homescreen replacement app (such as launcher pro, go launcher, adw launcher) by going to the android market and afterwards your phone should start installing it by itself.Be careful not to factory reset!

Please, please help. Huawei Ascend G510 brand new (soft brick?)

I got the Huawei Ascend G510-0100 today and I really disliked the UI from Huawei so I got ADW launcher. I got titanium backup and uninstalled the original user interface/launcher. It was working well but for some stupid reason I decided to experiment and freeze the ADW launcher and then try it out. I pressed home and it showed a black screen. I factory reset my phone and there's still a black screen but I can access the google intro.
Can I restore the original rom for the phone? Please help. I don't even know where to get the original rom and if I did how do I install it?
Please this is urgent.
Thank you
I was stupid, I format the user data and when I rebooted the phone I got update notifications on the bar and from there I went through to play store and got a launcher from there.
Good to hear that you got it resolved.
Note that right now you do not have any launcher installed as a system app only a user downloaded launcher so when you will factory reset your phone the launcher will be deleted. Convert a launcher to a system app to prevent this.
But next time don't try to mess alot with system apps. Having two apps of the same kind (in your case the launchers, i.e one system launcher app and other user installed launcher) would not hurt much would they?
And also always make a backup of your system in the recovery before experimenting with anything.

Are you able to boot into Android recovery (once the phone is off, hold the power button and the volume up key at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Android on its back being open comes on acreen). You can try and factory reset the phone.
If this isn't a solution you will need to unlock the bootloader with Android toolkit. You can get the bootloader unlock code from Huawei's website.
You can flash a custom recovery like the newest TWRP for your phone and try installing a custom rom if you can't find a copy of the original rom

Need zte v768 (tmobile concord) stock rom!

I need help, i rooted my t-mobile a few months ago and i wanted to tweak the boring ui of the phone by deleting the launcher and installing a third-party launcher, among tweaking other apps. Without even thinking, I factory resetted the phone and when i turned it on it was missing many major ui apps for my phone to fully function. So i tried installing a custom rom onto the device, which only made the problem worse. Now when i turn it on it hangs on the android logo and then shuts off. Does someone have a system dump of the ROM, or even the stock ROM itself? If you do can you upload it here? Or can you give me the weblink to where the rom is on ZTE website? It would be greatly appreciated.
