Guest washboardmac Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hi Folks Been reading for a while and haven't needed help but now I do! Was on r6 from new and all was dandy. Now after upgrading to r8 I find that I'd left Launcher Pro as the default and cannot get the Vega to properly start as all I get is a constant FC. I can tell the machine is working 'ok' behind the scenes as 'report' works ok and I can reconnect via usb. Is there a fix for this apart from flashing from recovery mode? I'd like to think that there may be a command line solution from ADW to restore the default launcher. Any ideas? Ta Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevor432990 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Which app is the FC coming from? If it is Launcher Pro you should be able to uninstall using ADB and reboot because I believe the stock launcher should still be there and load the device again at least then you might be able to recover LP from a backup (assuming you made one). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's Launcher Pro that's FCing. I don't have a back for LP but i'm not worried about that. So the next question is "how do I uninstall LP from the Android command line?"

Guest trevor432990 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Assuming you've got LP loaded into /system/app and you are using Windows on your PC then the ADB commands would be:- adb-windows remount adb-windows shell rm /system/app/Launcherpro.apk adb-windows reboot P.S> Going offline for rest of the evening so if you get stuck I'm sure someone else can help. Good luck :D Edited March 19, 2011 by trevor432990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck :D Thanks for that. Have just been on developer.android.com and could see install but not uninstall. Was wondering if installing the stock launcher rather than just pushing it would work. Will try your commands right now. Many thanks, have a good evening. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it removed and with a reboot back with stock launcher. You got me 99% of the way there; it was the location and apk name that took a while to get right. Android System Info on my Galaxy S told me the path so I manually used the shell command and the only two linux commands I know - cd and ls - and found the file. For the record the apk lives in /data/apps and is called com.fede.launcher-1.apk Once again many thanks.

Andy Hi I'm planning on upgrading from r6 to r9 soon and I use Launcher Pro as my default launcher. Will I suffer the same problem as you and if so, what should I do prior to upgrading?

What you need to do is use Home Switcher to set the stock launcher as default. Good luck. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
