I downloaded the HelixLauncher, but now each time I start up the phone, a FORCE CLOSE/REPORT message comes up. I've reported it and tried the force close, but it doesn't not go away rending my phone useless. I can't get to the Menu>Settings to remove the app. Can someone help me?
Maybe I need to plug it in via a PC and can remove it that way??
try to hit the search button everytime you force close the app. It may take a while but you will enter the search mode finally...
The app will continue force close but you should be able to type one after another letter to be able to enter the settings.
He's right, keep hitting search. Type in "market" and get to helix in your installed apps and uninstall and then re-install if you still want it. But like he said, youre going to keep getting the force close, just work through it... I just did this the other night for a friend...

Decided to use any cut, when I click on add direct text message I get "android.process.acore has stopped". I wiped everything but I did a switchrom reinstall so that may be the issue, also did fix permissions. Anyway around this? I have my phone tweaked just like I want it, I want to avoid a complete reinstall from scratch.
Why use anycut anyway? You can set a direct message by long pressing on home screen>shortcuts>direct message. I don't think that anycut has ever worked on cm's roms. I used to have it but had the same problem and fixed it the way I described. I may be wrong about it not working, but this is an easy fix.
Hi All, just some info sharing after I encountered TwLauncher force close loop after I installed an app. and how I resolved it. Searched for an answer for this but seems like everyone says do a hard reset which I do not want to.
Was trying out Dolphin Browser when suddenly my twlauncher force close. Think the error occurred because the browser tried to put a shortcut on the launcher but my launcher screens did not have space for it. Rebooting does not help as the twlauncher still goes into force close loop when the phone starts up. Almost wanted to do a hard reset but was thinking if I could go into Settings and remove the dolphin browser which may remove the error. After trying, I realised I could still go into the Settings by holding down Menu button to go into Search option (after dismissing the force close) and search for the Settings app. However when I went into the Settings, removed the Dolphin browser and rebooted, launcher still goes into force close loop.
Then I figured I should clear the data in twlauncher and let it launch in default. Same thing again, press and hold Menu button to go into Search. Search for app Settings and launched it. Go to Applications, Manage Applications, All and select TwLauncher. Go to Storage -> Clear data. And presto! No more force close loop!! TwLauncher now sets back to default, and the only thing you need to do is to customize/add back your launcher 'desktop' again with whatever shortcuts or widgets you want or had previously. No hard reset required which save a lot of hassle! So the error is basically data corruption which caused the TwLauncher to go into force close loop.
Hope anyone who encountered the same problem as me don't have to hard reset anymore with this solution!
Damn, you just saved me.
Thanks so much, I almost did the hard reset myself!
thanks man, i thought it's some bug from my rom, by now i see it's not. u're my hero!

in my app list is no TwLauncher?! Only TwWallpaperChooser...
But I think it is translated to "Startseite" (german) - can somebody confirm this?
I have the same problem - there is no TwLauncher in "All" list - please help
thank mate. although i find it useless but still i wanted it. thank so much
damn thus thread is a little bit too late.....I experienced it about 2 week ago...the only solution was to flash back my FW because Hard Reset didnt help...btw thanx for this coz it might be usefulll for the future....
Well, glad my old thread helped some of you guys. I'm not sure why some of you can't see the default rom twlauncher, unless you are using a custom rom with another launcher.
This sounds good and would have certainly helped me on the numerous occasions when I have experienced this, caused by an application failing to find desktop space to park an icon every time.
One small thing is nagging me though. If Search is not one of the last six apps I've used it won't show up in the Recent apps drawer that appears when I hold the menu button or have I missed something?
thanks bro this is great!!!
thank u soooo much
I was facing this problem on my new Galaxy S i9003 and had pretty much made up mind to do a factory reset when I came across a link to your post on this site - androidza.co.za forum
Thank you again - you saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thank you so much!!

Thanks a ton guys from saving me the work of hard resetting my Galaxy Ace.
Note: for the people searching for tw launcher in manage applications, on the Galaxy Ace its "Sansung Home", just clear data and your Ace is all good again
I am running stock 2.2 and I was removing the AT&T bloatware usting TiBa. Was only able to remove AT&T Navigator and AT&T Radio before the TiBa was no longer able to find the following apk files for some reason.
# AT&T Maps
# AT&T Music
# AT&T Mobile Hotspots
# Mobile Banking
# Mobile Video
Then all of a sudden the phone started giving me a message that:
LogsProvider has stopped unexpectedly and needs to resart and makes me force close but is in a constant loop along with TwLauncher. When I click Force close it closes the boxes but the screen stays black. I cannot see anything unless I hit the power button to lock the screen but it keeps popping up these stupid messages. What is wrong and how do I remedy it? Please someone help.
Now it is also saying Messaging, Daily Briefing, Google Services Framework and Calender is needing to force close.
you removed something you shouldnt have. and unless you can list everything you removed for us... you are going to have to flash to stock~! learning is fun!
The 2 bloatware apps listed are the only things removed. It may seem like stock is my only option here because the phone isn't letting me even access my applications menu to access TiBu to try and restore stuff.
Sounds like another deleted launcher. Use the search key on your phone to look up apps on your phone. Try searching for market and launching it from the search box, then look for launcherpro and install it. If not just use the search key to open TiBu and open it from there lol

It's basically locked in a force close loop. Bottom buttons won't respond. I take it I will end up using Odin3 to fix this whole mess? I just read up on it and seems like that is my option.
That'd be my last resort, but it seems that's where you're at.
I chock this up as a learning experience. LOL Is there a safer way to remove the bloatware without possible deleting needed files?
I just flashed a custom rom and made my cappy happy.

If you insist on keeping the stock ROM, I would recommend SGS Tools. It's capable of removing stock apps

Do you have the desk dock? If you do, plug it in, and go into productivity mode. There is an app drawer there. Go to the market, and install your launcher of choice. Actually, if you do voice search, look for a launcher pro apk. That'll work too.
anyone got a solution? please help.. even i am stuck at the same spot... dont know what app's i need to RE-install...
thanks
If you can get to your dialer (I had to use the Visual Voicemail setup to pull it up, then when it closes back to setup accounts, I held down home to get to the recent apps screen, select dialer from there) use the mic button to access voice commands. Say "go to market" it will pull up market. Download a different launcher, and then when you hit home, it will give you the choice to go back into Setup or your new launcher. Go to the launcher. You can take it from there...
Was the phone rooted? If so - did you remove any apps from /system/app?
Yes and yes. I had backed them up with TiBu, but the restore didn't work as planned so I found a dump of the system/app folder here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-hacks/167677-removing-bloatware-2.html#post1705285
yea i figured it out by trial & error Sat with a lil help from techdigital on another forum...altho i hadnt removed anything...stupid ass setuo apk lol
that helps... yay.
By the way if you tap each of the corners of android welcome screen starting from the top left (haven't tested on d3 but works on others) in order it bypasses setup altogether.
I was following a guide on here for installing Apex launcher by moving it into the system files, after I had installed it and selected it as my launcher it kept saying "Apex Launcher has stopped working" in a loop. My device is unusable because of it, any idea of how to fix it guys?

Can you see your home button, arrow, and star? If so hit the star (favorites) click on anything, browser, etc. After it goes to the page in your favorites, at the top you can pull down your settings. Go to applications, installed applications, find the app you just installed and force close. This happened to me after installing Nova launcher and I found this out by accident, or by the grace of God. Lol. Hope it helps!
This is where you start playing the tapping reflex game. Try to navigate where you need to go in between closing the force close pop up. I would try just installing the apk from the non system folder to get it stable. Then uninstall and try again or give up if you are faint of heart doing it. Make sure you have your permissions set up right before you try round two.

Same thing happened to me, thought I had a brick on my hands. Trick I used was to hit the favorites icon between error messages, and launched a browser. Then I had access to the drag down bar, which I used to run "apps" and uninstall NOVA. That reset to the default launcher.
Go Launcher HD was the only launcher that worked for me without that same error. I still have not selected a default launcher until I'm sure it is very stable though. Don't want to get caught in that loop again.
Yeah I finally got it fixed by going through ADB and uninstalling Apex. I had a mini heart attack, this thing isn't nearly as mod friendly as my S3.

Yeah, I had the same when I broke SlideIT keyboard. I thought it was all over, especially since this device is so young in it's development stages. Glad you got it fixed.
