Guys, i tried to install the G5 launcher from apk mirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgelectronics/homeux-4-0/), there was an error or something and now i can only select Easy Home as launcher. The Home&App Drawer (stock G4 Launcher) is no longer compatible and can't select it. I dont even understand how this could happen because i dont have root and my phone is stock.
Also i cant just uninstall updates for Launcher because there is not this option. I dont know hot to go back without a factory reset and that would be time consuming.
Do you guys mind to post the Stock G4 Launcher apk here so i can give it a try ?

I wonder if the phone not able to connect to internet at that time , then how to do? Can push the launcher apk from computer ?
If you have a signal(mobile or wifi) this should work...
both mobile and wifi are off.
Problem solved now!! Thanks for the help!
I sent the apk file from martket.android.com

i have the same problem now
but i use defy data manager so it can't download on 3g and i can't push it from the market to my phone
i want any launcher in zip format
if anyone has the official stock launcher that'd be great
pepo36: restart phone to recovery and reinstall CM from SD card. You will not lose any data.
i dont have CM
i have the stock rom installed and this is why i was removing Go launcher to get back my stock launcher but for some reason the stock launcher is missing

Has anyone tried renaming or removing the stock launcher to disable it?

easiest thing is to install a new launcher, say, ADW or LauncherPro or Zeam or whatever, (I hear Trebuchet is out) and then enable that new launcher as Default... and by doing that you disable the stock launcher.
But never ever disable or uninstall or kill a launcher unless you have another one waiting in the wings to take over.
launcher is nothing more than an apk

I have the Tablet version of Go Launcher installed but I wanted to disable the stock launcher so that it isn't running in the background with Go Launcher just running over top of it.
Edit: I used Titanium Backup to freeze the stock launcher and after a reboot everything is fine. I'll probably end up renaming the Launcher.apk to Launcher.bak so that TiBu doesn't have to do the work.
I don't have any problems running another launcher. But remember you can't get access to the kindle stuff if you get rid of or disable the stock launcher. I have mine linked on my homescreen, so the stock launcher runs more like an app for me.
i was using go launcher ex and when i uninstall it, my home screen was stuck with a black home screen with only notification bar at top ..... A chance i had made a ROM backup with Rom Manager earlier or my phone will still be stuck on that black home screen.
Hard reset didnt help to repair phone
Lg support tool application from Lg website didnt work too
I wrote this post just to share my experience with Go Launcher Ex and i will never and ever re-install a Go products.
I may be mistaken but it sounds like you didn't have another launcher enabled when you uninstalled go launcher ex. That's why you ended up with the black screen with the notification bar.
Hi,
did you uninstall the LG Home Launcher before installing GoLauncher? If so, you don't have a launcher installed on your phone right now. In that case it's more your personal failure than a problem with GoLauncher... sorry.
Your Android Phone needs a Launcher. If you uninstall the stock launcher you have to make sure that already another one is in place and vice versa. If not it will end with the black screen you mentioned.
Good luck next time.

Cool down, i thought you want some help? It was my guess, because exact the same thing happened to me back in the days...
Where is your LG Home launcher now?
I bet the stock launcher is frozen via TiBu.

Yeah something like this, its definitly deactivated... not a specific GoLauncher problem. Would be interesting to know, where the LG Home Launcher is hiding.

Good question ...... i was able to receive call, sms, but wasnt able to make call (because of black screen) the Rom manager backup had save my phone
i just weird that the uninstallation had hide/remove/delete etc the Lg launcher....
I see, had the same problem once as i'd no-bloated the LG Launcher. I also had to restore my backup, no way to get the launcher installed again.
That's what happened to me, but luckily I have Debug mode enabled so I just connect the phone with PC, and use adb shell to launch Titanium Backup to defrost the Home launcher.
So if you luckily have Debug mode enabled before you black-screen accident:
1. Install Android SDK on your PC which include adb shell
2a. If you froze the Home launcher with TiBu and want to defrost it, open adb shell from command line and follow this link to launch Titanium Backup: stackoverflow.com/questions/4567904/how-to-start-an-application-using-android-adb-tools
2b. If for some reason 2a doesn't work, or you didn't froze the LG Home launcher but it is not loaded for some reasons, reinstall Go Launcher or any other launchers using Sideload Wonder Machine (google for it)
---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------
A good tip for all is: always enable debug mode then you can solve a lot of problems with your PC!
What will happen if I Force Stop HTC Sense? I want to use Nova Launcher, Thanks
After you install the Nova Launcher, when you press home button, a pop-up asking you which you want to use (as default if you want to), choose Nova Launcher, the HTC Sense will not run; there is no need to Force Stop Sense.
What if i was to force stop it without nova launcher? just outoff curiosity, thanks

How to install, simplest way is download from Play Store or from this thread :

Hello members
I had a little fit this morning after my screen lock did not lock the screen. Nova Launcher pushed through an update as well as Google yesterday. Anyway, I thought it must be Nova, so I tried to uninstall instead of switching to Goole Launcher. The uninstall option was not available so I went to Titanium App and deleted Nova Launcher. What a stupid idea that was.
So I am stuck in bootloop and cannot get onto the home screen. I made an install zip file with an earlier Nova Launcher to install through TWRP. It said install successful though no change. Still bootloop.
Is anyone here who would have time and could help me ? Thanks
ROM is ArchiDroid V3.1.5

Reflash your rom without doing anything else.
And next time post your questions in the q & a thread specific for your device not this section
Ok, thanks. My apology for using the wrong subforum. Regards G
