Hey guys, I recently rooted my moto g. I the process of doing that I thought it would be cool to use a resolutioj changer. So i downloaded the app, and used the wrong size and it set my size to 4x2. Now my screen is so small, i canr just delete the app. I have tried to factory reset it, and that failed I got a No command message. Is there a way that I can get my Moto G working again?

You can do 2 things. Delete the app using adb and see if that helps. Before that try to start the app using adb and try to change the display settings inside the app.
About opening and removing app using adb, check online guides
EXAMPLE
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.package.name/COM.PACKAGE.NAME.ACTIVITYNAME

How would i do that? Please be detailed
When it says no command push the volume up or maybe it's power and volume up don't remember which one exactly
???CAUTION???
May ruin other ROMS after this
because nothing compares
Thanks for all the help
I went on to another forum Where in fastboot I did

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Hi,
Recently, I accidentally deleted my LG HOME app from my Optimus One (my phone was rooted). But since I was using GO Launcher Pro at the time, it didn't affect the phone functionality.
But then while playing with the phone I factory reset it, and whoosh ! I was left with no launcher screen at all (LG HOME being the default, which I deleted ). I was left with a blank screen, with just the notification bar.
HERE IS HOW I RECOVERED MY PHONE (and not the LG HOME app):
Step 1: Get a launcher app apk from somewhere and copy it to your SD card.
PS: Search on google 'go launcher ex apk' without the quotes. You can also search for ADW launcher or others (see android market).
Step 2: Turn your phone on.
Step 3: Get someone to call on your phone. Pick up the call.
Step 4: During the call tap the 'Add call button'. You will get the dialer pad, with contacts, call logs and favorites tabs as well.
Step 5: Go to contacts and click the menu hardkey to get the menu. Tap 'New Contact'.
Step 6: When you get the new contact form, tap the image with a '+' sign on it (It is used to add a contact image).
Step 7: Now you will get options as to where to get the file. Select OI File Manager.
Step 8: Navigate to the folder in which you copied the Launcher app (Go launcher, ADW Launcher or the like) and install it.
Voila ! You have a new launcher screen now.
PS : I was relieved when I finally got my launcher back. I was on the brink of flashing my phone to the stock KDW, which could've resulted in a bigger mess (Bricking etc.)
NOTE 1: If you factory reset your phone again, you will lose the launcher again, and will be back without a launcher screen. So make sure you don't do so lest you want to repeat Step 1 thru 8 again.
Word of advice: Make sure you have at least one launcher app installed on your phone (no matter which one, it should run).
USERS PLEASE UPDATE THE THREAD WITH OTHER ADVICES FOR THE PROBLEM.

Never thought there could be such a wierd workaround for this.
Thanks for the info though.
The easiest way would be to install another launcher using 'adb install'

But then you'd need to install all the android SDK and stuff on your PC.
This is just a work around. Of course, one would be in a problem if you don't have OI File Manager too.
Um, or use search button on phone and search for right app or what ever, search button on phone is pretty useful if you brick your rom. :]

Looks like you have no file manager installed, use the adb method.
Is my screen too bright, or am I just too ASIAN?!
I did it!!!!!!!
someone posted to use the search button, well, i used the search button to get me to 4shared.com and downloaded launcher pro. when it was done downloading i pulled down the notification thingy and pressed the download complete icon. it then installed launcher pro and everything is fine. thank u guys for all your help, and i hope this info helps someone else out.
Well,I have fastest method than this
Which I used when I do the same thing
Stock rom have default LG home which u deleted that,s why blackscreen comes
So
Just slide that notification bar and turn on internet and from PC go to market download launcher it will be directly download to your phone bcoz of on internet
And you got your launcher back
Or make flashable zip of home launcher and flash it

Hi Christian. Should I install the attached LG Home only if I have installed recovery mode? I still have access to cell phone's mass storage. Can I install it from there even if I haven't installed recovery mode?

Yes you can extract the zip on sd card and you have to put the app in system/app and set the right permissions. You need root for this and a file manager that read internal storage like Es file explorer.

Well, I tried to post my question in Galaxy Note thread. But it seems that the Problem is similar for all Android devices. So, if you don't mind I'post it here. No solution found so far.
I've got the screenlock password on my Galaxy Note. It's in English layout (it was originally entered in Swipe keyboard). Then I've changed the Settings to Samsung keyboard and French layout (same latin letters) and switched off the screen. Now my pass is not working as I cannot change layout to English (the settings button on keyboard is grey). So would you recommend any solution as I don't want to wipe all the data. Is it possible to change layout to original English or reset password somehow? Thanks a lot in advance.
I believe after a number of failed attempts it will prompt for your gMail login.

Nope. After 30 tries there were no prompt for google account. This thing works in case of secret drawing combination. But I used letters.

I don't know if it'll help, but what I do when I forgot my pattern unlock is delete the gesture.key file in /data/system/ from recovery.
I'm guessing deleting the password.key in the same folder will disable the password lock, and you can unlock it with anything.

I opened it using ADB - \data folder is empty.
I just cannot get it - i'm an official user, my phone is registered, I do know the password and my gmail account details but I cannot get through to my data. That's really incredible that such giants as Google and Samsung made Android and Galaxy Note in a way that I CANNOT change the language settings. That's rediculous. I spend a couple of minutes to change password and 2 days trying to get my data back - why???
With no solution until tomorrow I will wipe Galaxy Note and sell the f... device to get myself iPhone or Nokia or anything that does not have that android on it. I'm starting to hate it really.
After 5 incorrect tries, there should be an option "Forgot Password?" Tap on that and you can enter your gmail info. It doesn't pop up on its own
Btw how will getting an iphone help? Its not like any phone will let you mess with settings while the phone is locked...

Since it's locked with a code, this is not the case. It goes on continuously and simply tells you how many times you have entered the code incorrectly (not sure when/if this ends).

My pass (layout) problem could not have happened on iPhone. There should always be some protection against such user activities that could block his access to data. Moreover, I haven't really changed the layout - I've just selected different software keyboard (Samsung Standard instead of Swipe). And as my phone was in French - so French layout was default in Samsung Standard Settings.

In order for the aroma filemanager to mount the /data folder you have to go to its settings and select the "automount all devices on start" . Then reflash and you are done.

Anyone else using Cerberus? When i change some settings the phone reboots. It also never takes a pic on incorrect password on lockscreen.
I use cerebrus on my unlocked unrooted HTC One. Works perfectly, flawlessly,without any crashes
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you're using stock kernel then yes, it will reboot on settings save. This happens because Cerberus writes the settings to an xml file in /system/etc so that it can still function even after a factory reset (which wipes data but not system.)
Problem is the stock kernel blocks remount rw and writes to the system partition, thus the reboot.
You'll need to find a custom kernel with rw enabled.
I am running complete stock. Cerebrus works perfectly without any reboots. It even sends me an email of the person as soon as someone enters a wrong unlock code

You can do that from within the app, but you want to make sure you reset the dial code to something you remember too.

BillyMumfry,
just got me a tesco moto e lte and am looking for good guide, which is best? also, my phone has upgraded itself to Marshmallow, is this gonna be a problem - I think a factory reset should send it back to 5.1?
any help many thanks. len
Hey Len,
Which type if guide are you after? Something on Moto e in general? Or on Root and ROM matters? I'd be happy to help if I can.
Things have been a little weird for the past few weeks. People are reporting corrupt SD cards, data loss and general issues we deal with during testing or breaking in periods. For that to be happening to so many this late into their "expertise" leads me to believe it originates from Marshmallow itself, Google or Open GApps.
Any way I'm getting hit bad. System crashes and apps becoming suddenly "incompatible" . I seem to have found a stavkd configuration although its with a pretty lame ROM and Kernel. So I figured I'd go Full GApps for the next week or so.
OK, so you got the OTA update from your provider? Is that correct? And you want to factory reset but think you wikk get shoved back down to 5.1.1?
Sent from my aosp_surnia using XDA-Developers mobile app[quotesI don't think the update to Marshmallow should be an issue for you. You may have to deal with some minor glitches but from my own experience getting the MM update I don't recall any major issues. Are you using a custom ROM?
I'll send you some Links in the morning of resources I've found helpful.
What I think I found the most helpful though was playing around in a terminal emulator. Be careful though if you enter the wrong command itll put you in bad spot.
In a terminal enter: >"getprop" no quotes to see all the info about the device and file system and memory... Ad infinitum it seems. Im learning a lot from using ADB to PULL any log I can. Those were real hard to read at first. But first start easy with an emulator that you can get from the playstore. Enter > "toybox" or, if installed enter > "busybox" They will list all the other commands available to you. Entering "help whatevercommand" or "whatevercommand info" will show you the full function and usage of that command.
Hope this helps any,
Feel free to PM or email with some more specifics
~~BillyMumphry
cheers Bill, have rooted now but will study your info. thanks

Try installing another keyboard and see if you can get one to show up.
Now, I know you can't type because of this but go to the play store and look in "top free" and there's bound to be one in there somewhere.

Connect the device to a PC if you have one and put the APK on the phone, Use a file explorer and install it. If the device doesn't have a file explorer, Then grab one of those too.
If you really wanted too you could use ADB, You'll need root access though to get it in as a System app.

Ah so, after I install the keyboard I can't go through setup?
Are you stuck in the setup menus? Is that what's happening??
If so then you'd probably have to remove the current keyboard and ADB push a new one.
Have you tried restoring it again to see if it shows after?

With ADB you can easily remove it, However though, If your not rooted, Then I advise against this because you WILL NOT be able to push it or another app back without root.
