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.

try to back to your stock rom or install a custom rom
Or try pushing launcher apk which you like to system via adb

Swype:3.269.2

Market 3.2.11 (need to change name to vending)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13365992/apk's/Market-3.3.11.apk
Edit: market installation
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?

so i just installed swype. looks good and runs great. it did tell me there was an update for swype after i installed it. after the download it says it was unable to install the update. any ideas?????
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.
Hi all,
Can i replace the stock home.apk with the apex launcher apk? Or is the standard home needed on stock rom?

As far as I know, you can replace, but if you do a factory reset then, it could be that the needed home.apk isn't there, so you have to flash firmware again using flashtool, cause phone boots up and there's no home.apk (someone here had this problem!).
Wouldn't do it, you can choose which you want to have as default, why uninstalling home.apk?!
Cause it takes memory...
Thx for the advice!
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
Hey you can move the stock home.apk to sd card. When you don't need apex launcher anymore then copy back the home.apk to system. Thats easy

I've had re-customized many custom roms zip files for my fitting. Generally I always delete the default launcher in /system/app and replace it with HoloLauncher which is less than a megabyte. Android is smart enough to default to the third party launcher even if the default isn't present.

Yes it is, but as pointed out by mihahn, if you ever do a factory reset on the go, you'll be proper screwed unless you:
- keep home.apk somewhere (prefferably a flashable zip)
- have a computer so you can "adb push" it into system/app
Yes it happened to me once. Not anymore!
Hmmmm....no need to remove/delete default Home from system or make a flashable zip incase of something wrong....
just frozen/disable the default Home from system....when you do factory reset, default Home will enable again....
remember this method only works if you have install other Home launcher such as Apex, Holo and etc and made them as default launcher...then only then you can disable default Home Launcher...

I have a rooted HTC Droid Eris with CM7 installed. I am new to the android game a long time Windows Phone hold out. Question?? If I want to customize the CM7's launcher all I have to do is remove the ADW launcher.apk file and then copy a new launcher apk file in the \system\app folder. Then flash the ROM. If this is so, can i add any apk file I want and delete any apk file I want without having to modify anything else in the zip folder.

you will need root.
First, open root explorer.
then go to "system", "app"
put the launcher you want in there.(apk)
then find your stock launcher(its in "system "app") and move it to your sd card.
exit. you will be in the launcher you want. if your phone crash...do a factory reset...aka hard reset...
it worked for me...tell me the results...no gaurantee it will work...and i am not responsibly for any thing that happen to your phone...
make sure you do a back up before doing this...
you can use the trebuchet launcher if you want...its similar to apex...

GoogleGallery.apkm is a system app..system apps are not meant to be installed..they are not signed so cannot be installed in the normal way..to use a system app you will need root...after you are rooted move the apk to /system/app forder and give rw-r--r-- permission and reboot..

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.
