http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535413
well.. i cant explain why, but after the flashing the launcher was gone. i still have my go launcher
to get the launcher back, i installed it via an apk from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504275
first, it works fine. i installed a xposed module to edit the snap-to-grid size and rebooted my phone, after this i was able to mod it. everything was fine until the next reboot -> my launcher was reseted. not the mods, like the s-t-g size. but all my "custom" widgets and icons were gone and was replaced by the defaults. that happens now after every reboot, no matter what i do.
can anyone help me to find a solution for this problem, without reflashing my XZ1, thats running stock 4.3 deadexd and rooted with recovery?
thx for the help

I'm currently on Bell gt-i9000m, and I upgraded to 2.3.3 using odin and XXJVB/JVK
I started experiencing problems with my apps, installing from Market, as well as Applanet(yes I know that app is not legal as such, but I used it to see if Market was the problem) however it happens o matter if I use Market, or install .apk files
Every time Install the app, say Boat Browser (I have tried over 20 different apps), the app works perfectly, until I reboot. I have tried powering off, and plain reboot, but every time the reboot finalizes, in the app drawer shows the icon grey'd out and with a little SD symbol at the top corner. Now I know what you are thinking, after I installed apps, I have also tried moving from SD to Internal, and back, but still same outcome.
I read in another thread that it's the buggy TW launcher, so I used Market, as well as Applanet to install a new launcher, ADW shows under applications list as com.something and it will to let me move.
I am not on a stock rom, however I have tried SimplyHoney, Juwe, and GingerReal. I LOVE SimplyHoney, the blue aura and the way everything looks, I love it. The only reason I found it is because GingerReal my apps disappeared as well.
I have also tried formatting My Internal SD, and External SD, same result.
I have also tried researching the methods on the threads already active, but nothing relevant is available.
So, no matter what App I install, how it's installed, I cannot get my apps to stay installed.
Please HELP! Thanks!

That used to happen to me!
Are you sure you converted your filesystem to rfs before flashing new roms?
Have you tried going back to stock and the flash a custom rom?
Is all apps disappear after a reboot, or it is just a few apps?
no just select few new ones i download, even the gmail disappeared, but now it stays, its so weird!
Have u try factory reset? I used to have that problem too but factory reset fixed it.
It happened with me also. For me, uninstalling adw launcher worked. Now I m usinf go launcher and no problem on reboots.
Sounds like a filesystem problem. I had this when I messed up ext4 conversion a couple of times. Flash a fresh rom and lagfix (if you want to) before installing anything.
I am trying to install the GB stock launcher on CM7 but if I install it from recovery using the package found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933517
I am getting boot loop and if I try to install the apk which is removed from within that package, I am getting "Application not installed" message. Does anybody know how to install it?
What is the best way to install the stock launcher? I know that there are some in the market but those does not appear to offer any sort of settings? (eg. change number of home screens etc.)
Install it from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ebproductions.android.launcher
That is not the stock launcher, that is a 'modded' stock launcher. I tested it actually and it works much slower and uses more memory compared to the stock launcher. Not to mention, it is crashing... everything started working again after I removed it from my phone. (it makes you wonder, what else might be modified and why it is called 'stock launcher' when it is not).
I removed Launcher2.apk from Bugless Beast (V. GPA19) Android 2.3.7 ROM and it works much better.
I have a rooted stock i9000 from the UK on the Orange network. I have had a problem for a while now and I am unable to find a solution.
The issue is that when I try to install an alterantive launcher (whether it be Launcher pro or Go launcher ex), the phone will vibrate, go black and will not operate as normal. The only thing I am able to do once this happens is to long press the home button, go to task manager, then package, and uninstall the alternative launcher such that the phone defaults back to the stock launcher and then works again as normal.
I have tried restoring factory settings but this does not solve the issue. Please help as I want to be able to use alternative launchers.
have you tried clearing the data for the stock launcher and clear defaults on the same page?
What version of firmware are you currently running and what apps?
Do you install new launcher from market?
Hi
How many apps u have install on your device? You have stock ROM, maybe u don't have enough system place for alternative launcher( RAM)?? Try to clean some ram memory
I dislike the default launcher that comes with the G Flex, so I installed Nova Launcher. Upon trying to open my gallery app, I get the error message that I quoted for the title of this thread. The gallery app works fine with the LG launcher. My question is this: is there any way to fix the gallery app? I've tried clearing the app's data and cache, to no avail.
If there is no way to fix it, would it be possible to pull an AOSP gallery app from a G2 or Nexus 5 ROM and install it?
EDIT: It seems that none of the LG apps work with Nova Launcher.
something is goofy with your phone; I have been using Nova for 6 months on this phone without issue
I'm using Kit Kat and I'm rooted, but it was doing that before I rooted. I reverted to stock JB (which did not have the same problem), rooted it then, and couldn't reproduce the problem. I reverted to stock again, ran the KK update, installed Nova, and had the same problem. I rooted the phone again, after confirming that the problem still exists.
I've got a few ROMs on my computer, like CM 11 and the new Sprint update for the LS995. I'm wondering if I can just pull the apps I need out of one of those zip files.
I dont know about mixing/using files from other roms..I would probably factory reset first, and see if that helps..if you are rooted, you can grab the GFlex Cache wiper program and try wiping dalvik/cache and see if that helps too
I've already done a factory reset and cleared the cache via the recovery. I'll try the app you spoke of, though. Now I just need to find it...
EDIT: That didn't work. Would it be possible for anyone to pull at least the gallery apk off of their phone and upload it? I'll try to install it using ADB.
EDIT AGAIN: Screw it. I'm going to back up all my crap, revert to stock, redo the update, and root it again. I'll try to see if I can't pull the APKs myself and try reinstalling them. It probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.
ANOTHER EDIT: I figured out what the problem is. I have my DPI set to 220, which apparently breaks the LG apps. I want to keep my DPI setting where it is more than I want to use the broken LG apps, so I'm going to attempt to use the AOSP gallery and see what happens.
YET ANOTHER EDIT: Trying to install the 4.4.2 AOSP gallery apk didn't work. It wouldn't install at all. I found an app in the Play Store that mimics the 4.3 gallery, and it seems to cover my needs for now. Thanks for the advice. It really helped me narrow down the cause of my problem.
I accidentally uninstalled the system launcher using adb on my Realme 8i with locked bootloader, no root. My gesture navigation bar doesn't work (recent apps manager doesn't work), some of my settings disappeared. It's unusable like that. I haven't rebooted it because I'm afraid it will bootloop or get bricked. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? I've tried installing the launcher apk from websites but they didn't work. I managed to decompile the firmware and get the launcher apk, but it's odexed. And it also has a .vdex file which I couldn't find anything about. I bought the phone 4 months ago and I use it as a daily driver. I really need help with fixing this.
