I've just installed a custom rom and restored my apps from Titanium. However, now the default Launcher app is broken and I can't get out of the infinite loop of force closing. I can't press menu or anything to remove it as default. How do I get out of this pickle?
I have a GT-i9000.
Did you have web install working? Then you can try installing an alternative launcher through the web-based Android Market, and that will (hopefully) cause the default launcher to be reset.
I had a similar problem after upgrading from stock 2.3.3 to rooted JVR 2.3.4. After the upgrade pretty much every app and background process constantly force closed - including launcherpro.
By pressing and holding the home button very quickly after I closed the FC messages I was eventually able to bring up the "recent apps" window, then select task manager, and from there I was able to uninstall LauncherPro.
However after a bit more mucking around I decided to do a factory reset, as pretty much every app on the phone was broken.
Before I did the upgrade I had backed up my call logs & sms messages, and used listables to generate a HTML file with all of my installed apps, and I used this list to install the apps I wanted to keep again.
If this infinite loop is causing Android touch / mouse to be unresponsive, you should uninstall the faulty App with an external Keyboard:
Connect an external USB keyboard -> Then press F3 key to open Android Setting menu -> Uninstall in Application Manager.
