[Q] TWLauncher Uninstalled Itself! (Trigger 3.2-Final) - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been running the Trigger 3.2 ROM for three or more months now, with no issues at all. However, last night I booted up my phone to find that instead of booting into the Touchwiz launcher (which I set to do by default) it booted into the second launcher Trigger 3.2 offers, the one called "Launcher". Confused I went into my settings to see if perhaps the launch by default settings were changed... but that led me to discover that TWLauncher wasn't on my phone anymore... I checked under "ALL" in my applications, no TWLauncher, went into Titanium Backup, checked under all my installed apps, no TWLauncher...
I know this issue can be fixed by using Odin to restore back go default and re-flashing the ROM. But what I really want to know is how this happened and if it is something that has happened to anyone before, because no one anywhere on the internet I could find has ever had this issue...

You can also use the included app, SGS Tools, to install TouchWiz on your phone, without having to Odin.

Do you perhaps have a copy of the sgs tools app I can download... I uninstalled the one that was on my phone...

Thanks for the download. But how do I use this app to install touchwiz?

I have never used this, but I think you use the upgrade stock apps function, then select a new touchwiz launcher.

Should I do a full factory wipe? Freezing and black screen issues!

Ok, so I have been having some major freezing and getting stuck on a black screen issues. Currently have Rooted 2.1 Stock Rom with JI6 update and OCLF V.2 installed on my Vibrant. Thinking about doing a full factory reset and also wiping the 16gb internal memory too. Then reinstalling everything from scratch. Will that make any difference? Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Try this...
If you have ROM manager, try using the fix permissions option. Seemed to work for me after I flashed Bionix. I'm not sure if you're overclocked or not either. If so, you may need to check your scaling settings. Not sure if these work for you, I'm still in noob status, just trying to pick things up along the way. Would hate to get flamed for asking a question......
Just using Stock Rom not a custom Rom. Think I might just undo everything and start fresh. Just wish I could find a working download link for the TMobile unofficial Froyo Rom. But not having any luck since it was removed by the xda. devs!

Even with a stock ROM, you might want to tryr fixing permissions, seemed to work for me when I was rooted with a stock ROM....just a thought.
^^ please see the noob guide in my siganture... the ALT METHOD is exactly what you are looking for.

Ok just did that. Seems a little faster but the Market seems to take longer to load and also it changed my font style for some reason? Will test it out I guess

Launcher Pro Plus crashing after bootup/startup issue?

OK, so I use Launcher Pro Plus. But now it crashes every time after rebooting my Vibrant. Using Rooted Unofficial T-Mobile Froyo Leak with OCLF. Had no issues but now all of a sudden it locks up and says Force Close Error. Tried using Rom Manager to Fix Permissions. But not sure if that even worked. Made no difference. still crashes after bootup/startup. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks a million!
Wow now its missing from the market! WTF?

darkrevenge v3 had an issue (my fault prolly) with the dialertabactivity.apk having a bad manifest...that download was only up for like 10 minutes before it was fixed...but it could be thats your issue if thats what was backed up
It was how should I go about fixing it

Problem with phone.... help

Ok heres whats happening....
first of all, my phone is rooted and i have the latest super clean and kernal.... this has been happening on a variety of kernals and roms tho..
Randomly, out of nowhere, my phone reboots. (maybe this is normal, the kernal is crashing?)
the problem is that once it comes back, i seem to be missing some system applications like my contacts app (whenever i click on contacts in the phone, it crashes, and i dont have a contacts app to click)
and sometimes, my phone Settings app.... if u try to click menu on the home screen and click settings, nothing happens..... and i cant place widgets..
I have to reodin the phone completely and start from scratch....
This happens like once every couple weeks or so....
any ideas?
Try flashing it again w/ data/cache/dalvik wipe

Has this problem happened to others or is my phone defective

It sounds like some of the apps may be incompatiable with the verison you're using. I had a somewhat similar problem when first getting into roms. It may be worth going back to stock and then reflashing to the latest SC.
Not sure.. If it was just a compatibility problem I think it would not work right away... The problem I'm having is random after a spontaneous reboot

Try fixing it by flashing stock rom then re root > rom install > cwm
