So i recently got a kobo 7HD

I rooted it using towelroot v1

then i installed titanium backup (TB)

I used TB to unstall the launcher

now I cannot boot into the tablet because it has no launcher to boot into. so i am stuck forever at the kobo screen

i could go into the recovery by pressing volume down and then power up

but a wipe data/factory reset doesn't do any good, because it is a rooted device, so the launcher cannot be brought back using factory reset.

i also don't have SU access with adb shell as when i try to sideload something, it would always abort.

what can i do at this point?

is there anything i can do under "apply update from ADB" to make this tablet working again?

edit: after waiting forever, it boots into the system, but i cannot start any program, because there is no launcher...it's basically a black screen with 3 soft buttons (back, home, and the one that brings up recent apps), showing battery and time.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you can power on device send a launcher like Nova Launcher by i.e or sometimes directly recovery can communicate with pc, do the same if can. then in recovery mount system and with file explorer copy Nova.apk without spaces (NovaLauncher) in /system/priv-app and give permission 644, reboot
[General Questions and Answers] Glancealot:
can you be a little more specific please?

yes i can put Nova.apk onto the tablet's Internal storage.

then how do i mount system? i tried typing "adb remount" but i get "error: closed", i think this is likely because i didn't enable USB Debugging Mode, so the stock recovery doesn't really allow anything done.

i basically have Nova.apk on the tablet under "Computer\arc 7HD\Internal storage\Download"

but i simply cannot find a way to convince the tablet to install it due to having neither USB Debugging Mode nor a third-party recovery.

the only solution i can think of is, if i can get a ROM that the stock recovery is willing to install to overwrite the existing one, because i tried to adb sideload a lot of different things and they all got rejected.

or somehow manage to run titanium backup and restore the launcher i deleted.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Enable debug option don't depends of recovery, you can unable it in developer options, it's so strange that you can't but if you don't have custom recovery and don't exists one that you can install this is a theme for future, maybe needed unlock bootloader and be possible port some reco. Anyway by now you have other 2 options if you can go to recent aps maybe opened some file explorer (must be root) and you can do that or searching with google search inside your device, and the other if you can open in recents or searching with boton home long press some browser download any launcher, install and open it

Make sure you've downloaded the correct custom recovery for your device, make sure it's a .img. Flash it with the correct fastboot command and then using your volume keys, or however your device works, arrow to recovery and boot into recovery mode.

it did not work, like all other apk's i tried to flash, the tablet aborted installation after "verifying"

I doubt but I`m not sure, for adb sideload you can install just in zip format (adb sideload per se don`t install nothing, it just sends file and order to install to your device and recovery do the rest), uncompress your file till get a zip flashable and for image format install through fastboot and to install simple apk just push in correct place with adb command, by i.e if you want to restore your launcher type command adb push nameofyourlauncher.apk /system/priv-app/ (but if has libs or it`s odexed you must push all the files)...better for short push a simple launcher apk like nova or apex same way.

[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
So, my gf, when pressing the phone icon on her phone (Galaxy S8 but really just about any android is probably similar) and then subsequently the person from recents/call log asks me "why doesn't it just call? Why do I then have to select whether to then call, message, video call, or details"? If I want to message/text someone I'll go to the Signal app to do so. If I want the details on someone I'll go to Contacts...etc.

I guess I never gave it much thought but she raises a fair question. I don't have an answer for her and, aside from using Google speech function ("OK Google call John Doe") I ask of all of you...

Is there an app or setting change so that you can direct call when using the phone icon?

Star B92M (2013 version) Battery Drainage

I have the Star B92M phone (2013 version) 1GB.

I have tried almost all roms available on this site, but with each one the battery goes from 100% to 0% in less then 3 hours in stand-by function!!

Does anybody now how to fix this? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] furiouskid:
yeah there is a way.

just put your phone back on charging

Actually your phone switches off automatically when there is not enough juice left in the battery to run the device, so only solution for it is either use spare battery or charge your phone:)

Hit thanks if I helped you.
[General Questions and Answers] Hyarion:
The problem is, when it turns off, and than I turn it on again, it has about 40% battery charge. And yes, I have deleted the battery stats from the recovery. :(
[General Questions and Answers] mickeyasamoah:
Or maybe your phones battery is not well calibrated so at a point in time the phone thinks there is more power then all of a sudden, the battery tells the phone that its really low than the phone taught. So that's how it goes off before it can reach 1 or 0%. You try wiping battery stats.

How to:

Fully charge phone

Go to recovery

In clockwork mode, I think its in the advanced column but with 4ext, its in wipe sector,for TWRP I dunno u can just search for it.

Then wipe battery stats(sykes be done in seconds).

Now reboot the phone and use it how u normally use it until the phone goes off then recharge till its full.

There ur battery is calibrated:D

[General Questions and Answers] jdsingle76:
I don't have that phone, but a good rule of thumb that I use is before flashing anything, do a nand, and at a minimum wipe cache and dalvik, then dirty flash. If it doesn't take, then you'll have to full wipe.
[General Questions and Answers] mickeyasamoah:
You should do as he says because the 4.3 version might have different framework and this can cause unnecessary force closes. So for me a full wipe would be great.

U can flash it without wipe. And it'll also work.

Other thing is that it somewhere might give u a bug or fc's. Am not saying that it'll do for all apps.

So that wouldnt be a prob. Though as u can fix them by fixing permission and clearing their data.it'll fix them. And dnt restore ur data.do it only as u are upgrading from cm only.

So try it. But make a backup of ur apps and data and rom. To revert just in case.

It'll work. Use it.

And post the results here.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Do 1 thing charge it to 100% via pc only and then see.

Do this instead of connect bot.

Use groups for sending messages.

Or just type in the first 4 digits of ph. Number then select the number u want.

Also for the other question.

Use the app which works with both sims only. Not the other that doesnt.

And its because some custom roms get clashed with sim modules.

Also leave a mail for the dev. Of the app that dnt recognizes both sims regarding this issue. It'll be helpful for the fix.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Try to clear its data from settings-apps
