I don't see why you couldn't sideload a 3rd party launcher and go into Settings and make sure it's selected as the main launcher. Worst case, just reload your OS and start fresh since you might have done more damage than just removing the stock launcher.

Do you have the ability to do adb, or use terminal emulator?
If so re root your device, by runing NookandZergy.bat.
WARNING: This will erase yoru entire device.
Then install Terminal Emulator, or use adb and issue the following command:
Code:
echo -n '0000' > /bootloader/BootCnt
Then restart your device.
Sorry, I'm a nube at this...Don;t know what adb/Terminal Emulator is/are...
How do I know if I have adb/Terminal emulator on my NT?...
How do I go about installing either?...
Do I need to execute NookandZergy.bat on my NT?...
Please explain...Thank you...
Here's some steps I posted on someone elses topic. I know you said you did the reset but give it a shot:
If it comes to it, power down, hold power and 'n' and it'll turn on, then come to the black background with the n logo then power off. Release just the power button and press and hold again for 7 more times.
On the 9th time just use the power button to turn it on and it'll prompt you with some warnings. Follow through with the continue and it will perform the steps.
BE WARNED: this will perform a complete factory restore so any installed apps will be gone but it won't touch your SD card.

Use this method.
Just turn off the nook tablet, and start it by holding the power and N button. Continue to hold and you will note that the tablet turns on then off. Do this 8 times, and you will be promped for a full factory reset.
Loglud/dodgepot - Thank you very much for your input...Much appreciated...
I was having difficulty following either method, but I came across the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19546639&postcount=13
I followed these instructions which differ slightly, but was able to get a complete factory reset(re-image)...
I will now proceed to re-root my NT & hopefully won't run into any major issues...
Will return if I do and/or have any questions...Thank you again...

Good luck in your adventures and don't be a stranger!
I posted the [How-to] Quick Access to Nook Tablet's FACTORY RESET Screen in both the General and Development sections of these forums just for these types of situations... a search would have netted you the link. Following that guide will get you back to stock.
Good luck.
O.K., I'm back to square one...I re-rooted my NT for the 4th time(followed Indirect instr. videos 1 & 2) and installed Honeycomb Launcher...After re-rooting I no longer have access to B&N's launcher...According to the video I should be able to flip-flop between B&N's launcher & Honeycomb Launcher by pressing the"n' button twice...If I open Apps. I can see the Apps. that came with my NT...From time to time I get the following error msg.: "The application Honeycomb Launcher (process mobi.SyndicateApps.HCL) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"...
Any idea as to what is causing the above msg. and why pressing the "n" button is not allowing me to switch launchers?...I have other questions(e.g.; weather widget not working, how to move files around from-to SD card, etc..,..), but wanted to get past this issue first...Your help is greatly appreciated...

there have been reports of honeycomb launcher force closing a lot. that is according to reviews from the android market...
the only suggestion i can give you is to move the honeycomb launcher apk to system/app if it is not there already
after that go to the tgps launcher and manage apps, try clearing data and cache for honeycomb launcher and reboot. hopefully after that you won't experience any more force closes for a while.
+1 I tried hcl a little and experienced issues so went to adw launcher ex. Much better, imho.

Do you know if you're using a modified SystemUI.apk? It sounds like you might be. There is one (that was not made when those videos were made) that removes the little B&N popup menu entirely. If you want that, you might need to revert to the stock SystemUI.apk.
The Home Switcher app will allow you to change your home button functionality as you like.
ENJOY!
Thank you all for your quick response...Much appreciate it...I apologize, but being a nubie & not that familiar with the terminologies I need some direction...
I recall that the last question during the rooting process had a reference to the
SystemUI.apk & required a Y or N response...I don't recall what I replied(Y or N)...Getting a little confused with the different options...
1- How do u move the HCL apk -> system/app?...
2- Why move the HCL apk -> system/app?...
3- How to access tgps launcher and manage apps, clearing data and cache for
HCL...
4- Should the HCL be uninstalled after performing the above followed by the
ADW Launcher EX install?...
5- Can I download(install) the ADW Launcher EX from the Android market?...
6. Once the ADW Launcher EX is installed how do I flip-flop between B&N
& ADW launcher?...
I read somewhere that to get rid of Honeycomb Launcher u can go to the Android Market > My Apps and click on HCL Launcher and then Uninstall...
And something about moving it 1st to /system/app rather than /data/app(???)...With all the choices getting confused with the proper course of action...Again, I would appreciate instructions for the best/quickest(safest) approach to correct this issue...
I really appreciate your willingness to help, not to mention that this is a learning experience for me and(hopefully) I will be able to help others as a result...
Many thanks...

Sounds like you entered Y. If you want to be able to switch between the B&N launcher and a custom launcher, you are going to need the stock SystemUI.apk.

You should be able to find it in /data/app. Move it to /system/app, and reinstall (and maybe reboot).

2- Why move the HCL apk -> system/app?...

I think some believe this improves stability. However it prevents the market from updating the app. I use ADW EX and have not moved it and don't have any issues. I think HCL is pretty buggy (as has been stated above).

Use NT Hidden settings (look in dev forum) to manage applications. Select HCL from the application list and clear data/cache.

Hit the THANKS button for those that have helped you [there are a few here] and to be honest, you're making this whole thing way more complicated than it needs to be. You really should learn how to use the XDA Forum SEARCH function more effectively so that you get better results for what it is that you're trying to do. As well, don't just hop on the first thing you find and try it without reading as much as possible about what it is that you're attempting to do. Also try to find corroborating information for that which you are attempting before attempting. Since you're new here, it can be a bit daunting but if you put a little effort into it, you'll find a lot of info and many people that will help you accordingly.
And Welcome to XDA Forums!
ckevinwelch - Many thanks for the quick & detailed response...
I've decided that I will unroot/re-root my NT & select ADW from the list of launchers...I will also pay closer attention to the question regarding SystemUI.apk at the end of the rooting process...If I understood u correctly, my response should enable the install of the SystemUI.apk, correct?...
After rebooting I should be able to switch between launchers(B&N - ADW) since the SystemUI.apk would have been installed, correct?...(I'm assuming this is done by double-clicking the "n" button)...
I'll also head over to the DEV Forum to read about accessing NT's hidden settings in order to access tgps launcher and manage apps, clearing data and cache, etc...
I'll post back here with the results...Thank you very much for your time and all the help...

If you want to keep the stock behavior (i.e. the little popup menu that would allow you to access the stock home), DO NOT let N&Z install a new SystemUI.apk. You want the stock one.
sounds like you are on barnes and noble home screen and cant change back. you can install anycut to access menu again to force change between launcher, or download a new launcher from the internet and this will force the choice again... or download the hijack adb app and use it to patch with nook zergy to install a new launcher... or download my sd card image file and it has all the apps there to install from... got videos on many of these things on my you tube channel... however, if you have removed the N menu and set barnes and noble home screen to your default launcher, you may not have access to a method to install another launcher except to manualy push it over using ADB and a usb cable. If you ar at this point and not comfortable with command prompts, then I would just do 8 factory restore and start over with the SD card I made... I even made a video of how to recover a failed root process with the sd card. it has all the files you need so you dont have to go all over looking for them.

Thank you albertwertz for the feedback...I decided to unroot/re-root and followed ckevinwelch' suggestion, i.e., did *NOT* let N&Z install a new SystemUI.apk. & keep the stock behavior...After rebooting my NT & selecting HomeCatcher & ADW launcher as default I can now bring up B&N's stock menu...I also got the weather widget to work properly(failing when running with HoneyComb launcher)...I really appreciate the time+patience you've put into helping me along...
I've also launched tgps_launcher to familiarize myself with the settings...One thing I noticed is that Auto Mount is flagged under Development, should it be(I recall I had to un-check it during the rooting process)?...
I did some navigating to familiarize myself with the settings, options,etc.,..
I also downloaded/installed/opened a game(Solitaire) to gauge the size of mem/storage utilized...I went back to tgps_launcher to get a list of the running Apps...I noticed that the Solitaire game was listed under the "On SD card" tab, however I didn't have an SD card installed at the time(box to the right was unchecked)?????????...
I stopped Solitaire, went back to my list of Apps & noticed that the Solitaire icon switched to the android icon...I tried opening it, but got some sort of error stating that it couldn't be opened so I ended up un-installing/re-installing...How do I determine if an Apps. is closed(not running) and what's the correct way to stop it and re-claim used memory/storage?...How do I move stuff around between data <-> system files?...
Again, many thanks(trying to get all my questions in as I learn more about this conversion)...

[Q] Xperia Neo V Recovery

Hey guys,
I am new here and wanna learn. I have ICS 4.0.3 build .562 rooted.
I am experiencing few problems, i would be happy if somebody can help:
1. I cannot get into recovery mode of my phone. I tried Rom Manager too but failed. I want to have a Nandriod backup but can't.
2. I get a message "error processing purchase" on google play store while downloading a free app.
3. I cannot copy files when my computer is connected to PC. I can see a drive in My Computer and see all the files, but i cannot copy them. Copying a folder helps but the copied folder is always empty.
I am stuck up guys.. Please Help
Welcome to XDA
Seems like a messed up OS !
I am not sure, what's the cause of those problem, but is your phone working fine with normal usage ? ie Call, SMS, Browsing wifi etc ?
try Repairing your phone with SUES and check things without Rooting 1st !
1 have you installed cwm? There are many versions floating around, some you tap the screen others use volume down, install one and try. You can then set rom manager to use the installed one.
2 have you set up a payment method on play, not all networks support adding to your phonebill, you many need to add card details.
3 switch to msc mode in settings, mtp support is flaky on some OS

thanks but still stuck...
1. i just wanna use the built-in recovery. For that what i should do?
2. i will try to setup the card on it.
3. where is MSC mode in settings.. please elaborate.. i appreciate
@zmbutt
yes rest phone is working great. I once repaired it but it just got worse so restored back.

1. No Build-in recovery
2. For MTP mode, go to Setting>Xperia>Connectivity>chose MTP
1) You can install one (there is information in the forum already). If you don't want to bother and you have unlocked bootloader, you can get `recoveryNeo.img` and use `fastboot boot recoveryNeo.img` to boot recovery the current session.
No built-in recovery on Neo V though.
Doing some cleaning and moving this to Q&A. OP glad you are wanting to learn and best of luck to you.
just in case you still need
I, too have experienced this that i cannot reboot to recovery after flashing a new fw and installed cwm so heres what i did:
1. Do a factory reset (found in settings).
2. Install CWM.
Try if this method/procedure works for you!

Android phones don't have a recovery mode by default. We have to install one. One of the most popular on is ClockWorkMod recovery. Once you have rooted your phone, its pretty simple to install. I can elaborate on the procedure if anyone is looking for the solution still.

[solved]soft-Brick phone after LCD dpi changes

Hi,
I tried to change DPI through LCD density modder app to dpi 226 in my sgs2.
After that the phone dont boot-up and got stuck at yellow triangle screen
I can go to CMW mode but dnt have any backup in that.i flashed Cf root again to check if that work,but nothing happen
NOTE: it got bricked because of change in DPI.not because of flashing wrong kernel so Flashing kernel wont help me
What to do,please help me
Can you mount USB in CWM to change the kernel ?
Because some kernels, like Siyah (I THINK ! I don't use Siyah...) purpose to clear some folder including DPI section...
So you can try to take one of this kernels, flash one, and find this option...
I'm not sure, just a supposition

You should be able to connect to your computer in CWM recovery mode, and edit the dpi setting in your build.prop file.
failing that, worst case scenario, just copy a new rom to ya sd and flash it in cwm, a custom one
seriously, you got bitten my friend, next time, do a nandroid backup and backup ya efs folder, double protection, coz seriously if ya gonna mess with stuff like the build.prop then ya need a backup plan.
If you really want to alter the dpi, then check the lcd density changers on google play, theres a few, but i know a couple of them let you test the dpi out first to see if it works on ya phone, if it doesnt it reverts back.

As above;
1. Download & instal Windows PC programs "Android Commander" and "NotePad++ "(not NotePad)
2. Boot into CWM Recovery
3. Connect to PC USB & allow/edit for any drivers to instal
4. Run Android Commander
5. Navigate to system/build.prop & copy to PC & edit ro.sf.lcd_density=240 with NotePad++. Check there are no entries added by the app (delete them if so) Save and exit
6. Replace build.prop with edited version
7. Exit program, connect USB and reboot
8. All else fails, wipe cache/Dalvik and reflash ROM.
Hope this helps
Edit: don't forget to remove/delete the LCD Modder app from data/app with Android Commander before rebooting, otherwise it may force your previous density changes and back to square one.
You can also extract the build.prop from your ROM download zip with 7Zip and use above method to replace it.

Thank you all for your help
when i flashed CF-ROOT,i didn't work,but when i flashed STOCK KERNEL,it worked
i saw the odin log,stock rom has factory image file which correct the DPI.i think so
Thanks for giving your precious time
I found this thread through google, so thought i might post my experiences for the next person that finds this the same way, maybe some of it will be relevant...
So i did the same thing with my galaxy Note: changed DPI with LCD density modder app, restarted and the phone wouldn't get past the white samsung screen.
I followed UpInTheAir's guide to step 7, but phone still wouldn't start. I hadn't made a backup of the EFS folder so i was getting pretty scared at this point as loading a new rom will wipe this folder and render the phone useless (as far as i understand)
I was reading elsewhere that the permissions need to be set to rw-r--r-- on the build.prop file, so i tried doing this with Android Commander with the phone in CWM recovery. Android Commander was spazzing out, error message when the program opens, constant "loading" bar going, but i just ignored all that. I went to /system/build.prop properties and tried to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- but after accepting that and going to properties again it hadn't updated the permissions.
I've never flashed a ROM before, or changed kernel, but i decided this might be a good time to learn.
I loaded franco.Kernel-r5 for galaxy Note (sorry if this is irrelevant in an S-II forum) but loading into CWM that is built into this kernel (i think it was a different version than i was using before) i was then able to update the permissions with Android Commander(tho it was still spazing out).
Restarted and BOOM she loaded. Understandably i was thanking God big time at that point
anyway, hopefully something in this mess of a post might come in useful to somebody , thanks for the good info UpInTheAir!
Hello, I had the same problem and had to re-flash the firmware.
I've seen on dpi changers comments on market that A LOT OF PEOPLE get the softbrick.
i want to change my dpi.
how am i supposed to do it ?
I can't believe my phone can't stand changing DPI.
Ive changed mine a few times by altering the build prop file but the icons were never centered properly. Eveything was smaller but moved towards top left of the screen. Since then i used Density Modder pro with no issues.

Also lock screen is super small, because I think I clicked the 200dpi(I THINK) option.When I unlock the phone, to access to the UI the screen is total black and this 2 messages are being deplayed : "Unfortunatelly, System UI has stopped" and "Unfortunately,TouchWiz Home has stopped",I don't have CWM Recovery flashed.

First of all you will get better answers if you asked in your device's relevant thread, TouchWiz Home usually doesn't take too well to dpi changes, you need to install a custom launcher app like apex or Nova, try installing one via adb, and then reboot and select your custom launcher as default when the system prompts you to select a launcher.

Thanks for your help!! My phone is ok now..
same issue
Having the same issue I'm using Asus memo pad smart 10. Stuck in the boot screen after I tried to change my LCD density through ROM toolbox. Been like that for days. Do I need to follow the same procedure?
Thx
If you can enter recovery then flash maybe some DPI changer or what

Try booting your device into safe mode, it should boot without loading the app that you installed to modify dpi. If you successfully boot into safe mode, you can uninstall the app then reboot.

I deleted systemUI.apk

Hello, I've deleted my systemUI.apk. It has messed up phone up. I don't have my notifications bar nor multitasking. I have a Huawei M931 with stock firmware but rooted. Could somebody provide a download for their systemUI.apk if they have the same phone? Or help me out with my situation? I never backed up anything from my rom.

Try downloading the stock rom and then again installing it on your phone. You can also try by the software cd that came with your phone

You could reinstall the stock ROM as stated, or you could extract the apk from it and push it to your device. Another option is to flash a new ROM.

I was going to try to flash another ROM to my phone but they all say to make a backup to my SD card. I did not know what that meant. I thought it was making a backup of the ROM and I did not know how to do that. Also my phone did not come with any CDs.

It is making a backup of the ROM. You need a custom recovery to do that.

Deleted systemUI.apk
Hi, I was hoping someone could help me with my problem.
Long story short I rooted my phone because when I tried to update Google Maps I got a 'package file not signed correctly' error so I read around and read you can delete system files which I did and I got Google Maps to update.
Then I delved into rooting a little more and tried to edit the statusbar icons so I extracted the APK file and changed the desired icon but when I tried to add them back into the SystemUI.apk it wouldn't let me paste them. So I decided to delete the whole .apk and then reinstall the modified one but when I clicked the file and tried to Install it I got a message saying ' x Application not installed' but now because I deleted the file I have no Background, StatusBar, Notifications or Multitasking and I'm completely stuck.
I tried wiping my phone which didn't work and I've read around and tried to flash the ROM using Oden3 but it won't detect my phone and now because SystemUI.apk is gone I don't get the USB Storage pop up so I can't connect my phone to the computer.
Too make matters worse when I hold Volume Down + Home + Power to enter recovery or download mode I get an Android symbol on it's Back with a Red triangle and a '!' sign inside. I can click the home button which brings up the menu and the volumes buttons to navigate but then it won't let me select an option.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 which WAS on Android 4.2 but I have no idea whats happened now because the layout is completely different. It looks like Android 4.4 but isn't
I'm completely stuck on what to do and I've searched high and low for 3 days and found nothing that works.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.

I SOLVED IT *****! HERE'S HOW I DID [email protected]@@
I accidentally deleted com.android.systemui on my phone. Version KitKat 4.4.2.
STEP 1. HAVE AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE PHONE READY. HAVE THE SAME PHONE READY. LUCKILY I HAD ANOTHER PHONE OF THE SAME MODEL. GO TO A PHONE SHOP OR SOMETHING.
IT WILL HAVE THE SAME com.android.systemui .
STEP 2. INSTALL NOVA LAUNCHER OR SOME SORT OF LAUNCHER ON THE PHONE MISSING THE FILE, SO YOU CAN LOAD THE PHONE AND BE ABLE TO SEE IT!
STEP 3. INSTALL TITANIUM BACKUP ON BOTH PHONES. ROOT IT AND USB DEBUG IT BEFOREHAND.
STEP 4. ON THE BACK UP PHONE, OPEN UP TITANIUM BACKUP AND CLICK ON BACKUP/RESTORE ON THE TAB AND GO TO com.android.systemui. BACK THE **** UP THE FILE.
STEP 5. CONNECT IT TO THE COMPUTER, AND GO TO YOUR PHONE AND COPY WHAT'S INSIDE THE "TitaniumBackup" FOLDER.
STEP 6. CONNECT THE ****ED UP PHONE TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PASTE THE CONTENTS OF "TitaniumBackup" FOLDER (WHICH ARE com.android.systemui FILES) IN THE ****ED UP PHONE'S "TitanumBackup" FOLDER.
STEP 7. DISCONNECT EVERYTHING, EXIT OUT OF EVERYTHING, AND RESTART THE PHONES. GO TO YOUR ****ED UP PHONE, CLICK ON THE TITANIUM BACKUP, FIND com.android.systemui AND RESTORE IT!
STEP 8. ENJOY YOUR PHONE.
NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORMAT IT , RESET IT, REINSTALL A FOREIGN ROM, OR DEBUG IT USING ADB OR SDK, AND ALL OTHER COMPLICATED THINGS FLOATING AROUND, RISKING LOSING ALL OF ITS DATA. JUST GO A LITTLE CREATIVE.
IF IT WAS OF ANY HELP TO YOU OR YOU ACTUALLY RECOUPED YOUR DATA BECAUSE OF ME, AND YOUR PHONE DATA WAS OF ANY WORTH TO YOU, PROBABLY WORTH MORE THAN $100, PLEASE SEND ME SOME APPRECIATION PREFERRABLY OVER $100, TO MY PAYPAL. THE EMAIL ADDRESS IS [email protected]
i need some help. i deleted my System UI by accident and now my phone cant takeout screenshots or pictures,
Can someone please help me ?

Location of incallui.apk for this device?

I installed the Google dialler after flashing the Google Dialler Support (Framework) (.zip), made it the default dialler (with all permissions) and disabled the stock Dialler through recovery but whenever I make or receive a call, both dialler's {incallui}s show simultaneously, sometime the stock in front and sometimes the Google one and both their notifications also showing. I wanted to disable the stock incallui but can't find it in the priv-app directory(in recovery). Does anyone know how to disable the stock incallui? Any help would be much appreciated...thanks!!

If you're using TWRP, you'll have to mount system to access system files. The option to do this is in the main screen of TWRP: Mount>System. Then you can go to Advanced>File Manager and access system files.

I haven't tried the back up and restore feature and I don't want to as I've got a 64 gig SD formatted as internal and I'm not sure if all my data will be retrievable if I tried formatting and restoring from the back-up.
Okay now can anyone help me with my problem, please!

I'm not looking for the dialler, I've already disabled that...I want to disable the stock incallui (the screen which appears when placing or receiving a call). Also, I don't remember the actual name but the dialler is not named phone.apk. Generally, the incallui is simply placed in an app called incallui.apk but weirdly, this phone doesn't have it making it really frustrating to deal with 2 call screens simultaneously.
After root on during start screen a horrible red warning show in my device did you know how to remove...??

This is not because of root. This is due to unlocked bootloader which, I'm guessing, triggers the developer mode for the device. This doesn't affect the functionality of the device so you don't have to worry!
Turns out, the incallui is bundled up with all of the telephony frameworks or whatever and deleting this makes the phone not detect the SIM and lose connectivity. If someone with some knowledge of code and how sh*t works could look at the apk and just remove the incallui part, I'd buy them a beer or two. I've posted the link to it below. Thanks!
