Try that

Go to C:/Windows/System32

Copy cmd.exe

Paste it in SDK folder, where the ADB.exe is

Than enter my commands :)
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
And what when i... and i dont know this for sure, turned usb debugging off...
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
"adb remount" wont work untill we have a modded boot image.

anyway. I can help you remotely if you want. just write me a PM.
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
Dam... my bomgar server seems to be down... or i locked myself out :-(

But i can help you remotely tomorrow.
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
Wow, that would be great! i'll pm you for my contactinfo!
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
Okee, i must sound liek a real noob. I cannot find this SDK folder and the only file that i can find that relates to adb is adb_usb.exe..

i know that i am a real pain in the ass
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)

adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/

adb shell

su

busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system

stop

cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/

reboot
[LG Optimus 2x] leikel:
problem solve

E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk

Download on you phone and install.

It works as new!
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..

It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..

it worked!

i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!
[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
well...

that is not a permanent fix.

when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(

you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.

If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...

anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
again, much thanks for this advise, i will do this immediatly :)
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
i tried to move the file using root explorer, but i cannot complete the action because my system is read only.. how can i configure it to be writable?
[LG Optimus 2x] jonnyair:
in root explorer, there should be a button on the top-right labeled "mount r/w".

now guess what it does :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
nothing... In many maps i can select r/w, but in the map /system/app that seems not possible.. i can click but the setting doesnt change to r/w
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Check in the Superuser app and "Forget" Root Explorer then try again.

If that doesn't work, download a free Terminal app from the Market, and open it.

Make sure the LGLauncher.apk file is in /sdcard/ as above. And it's all case sensitive.

$ su
# busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
# cp /sdcard/LGlauncher.apk /system/app/
# reboot

You can't use the "stop" command there, which is the proper way, because it stops the user shell (to replace system files), but that would kill your input session...
[LG Optimus 2x] dragnor007:
I have been a fool and thought that pressing backup in Titanium meant that i could reinstall the app if i deleted it. I have deleted the calendar app by an accident :-(

I have done a factory reset, but still no calendar app :-(

How do i get it back?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Get it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960374
[LG Optimus 2x] dragnor007:
Is it easy to re-install?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Read this thread and judge for yourself... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] dragnor007:
That was a life saver :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
thanks you very much.. This almost worked.. The first method failed, so i installed a terminal app.

The commandlines worked until the point i entered # mv /sdcard/LGlauncher.apk /system/app/. After i got the prompt: failed on '/sdcard/LGLauncher.apk' - Cross-device link"

do you know what this means?
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
ok, now i know how this works.. One more question. What map is my adb map? i put the fil in the map platform-tools, than executed your command. It prompted it failed because permission was denied..
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
That last one won't work because adb doesn't have root permissions.

Try mine again, replace mv with cp, that will fix it.
[LG Optimus 2x] goaner33:
Now you are my personal hero. It worked!

Thank you very much
[LG Optimus 2x] Gambit2K:
I have the exact same problem that I have deleted LG Home.

What I've done so far is:

1. Downloaded and installed Adnroid SDK and ACD Manager.

2. Copied cmd.exe to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

3. LGLauncher.zip attachement and renamned i to LGLauncher.apk

4.Copied LGLauncher.apk to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools

5. Started cmd.exe and tried the command "adb remount" command.

But im getting an "error: device not found".

What am I doing wrong? the phone is in USB mode.

Extremly grateful for assistance, but have in mind this is my first androidphone and im a complete n00b :D
[LG Optimus 2x] xmoo:
Enabled usb developemt mode?
[LG Optimus 2x] Gambit2K:
I have now, I did the workaround where I mailed myself a download link for theLGlauncher file. Ran it so the phone is workig but I am trying the permanent fix now. I've come as far as

adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/

adb shell

su

busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system

stop

but when entering the --> "cp /sdcard/LGlauncher.apk /system/app/" command I get a

"cp: can't create '/system/app/LGLauncher.apk': Read-only file system" errormessage.

What am I doing wrong?
[LG Optimus 2x] T_Virus:
Just an idea I got to the people who have deleted their launcher, would it work to use Android market on your pc and remote install launcher pro?
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
the problem with your approach is that the new launcher would be installed to user space and when you factory reset the phone it would delete the launcher.

And with all your user data wiped during the reset it would be next to impossible to use this method again.

Its am temporal fix, but it only postpones the problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] beejizzle:
May I just hijack this thread for a problem of mine...

I tried to change the density in the build.prop so i did:

mount -o remount, rw /system

edited build.prop

mount -o remount, ro /system

and now my phone bootloops and sometimes starts the phone for 2 sec and then reboots again to bootloop.

I connected it to computer and pulled the build.prop and edited back to normal 240 and now I dont know how to push it back. The adb-session is only open for like 20 sec then the phone reboots and no adb...

I tried "adb remount" but that gives me Operation not permitted so i tried 1 click root from windows and used "root shell" which gave me temp adb root but didnt manage to use it before the phone rebooted again...

Any ideas?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
20 seconds? You're lucky, I only get 3 seconds!

Try:

adb shell
su
stop [COLOR="Red"]<- this may stop the reset[/COLOR]

If you have 20 seconds that is probably enough time. Otherwise you will need to wait for a ram flash... hopefully this week.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
If this:

busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system

Fails you will get that error message.

Check if /system is rw by typing:

busybox mount

Which will list your mount points and their state... you're looking for "(rw)"
[LG Optimus 2x] Gambit2K:
Hi and thxnks for the helo but I got it working yesterday, the oly thing I did wwas not to use the "stop" command :D Now I have a working phone again that I can factory reset :D
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
lol - I wish I was that lucky! :)

Hit thanks... ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] expl0de:
Many f you have problems with ADB, to start adb you have to do the following:

If your sdk folder is in c:/users

start cmd and write: cd c:/users/sdk/tools

press enter

now write: "adb shell" and press enter. ADB should start now and you can use further commands.

Hehhe, I did POWER + VOL DOWN and it hardreset so it works now :)

Are you a GO fan? Their GO Launcher; GO SMS; just release is GO Contacts now. :) Just sharing...

(I am NOT the developer :P)

[Android Apps and Games] walk.away:
thankyou so much, i asked about ann app of this kind after using go sms and loving the contacts search style in that. top app, top quality dev team!
[Android Apps and Games] doronster195:
Does not have Facebook Pictures syncing. None of my contacts have pictures. I'd really like to use this APP, but that's a huge deal breaker for me until it is fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Casao:
That's a limitation of Android. Install photo unlocker from the market and it will fix the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] roninxt:
Are there other alternatives? I hope GO Contacts have a root version which unlocks photo.
[Android Apps and Games] svtfmook:
cool, switched to go sms last night, just installed this. looks good. needs theming options
[Android Apps and Games] Lightwalk:
Congratulations! It's perfect!!!! I really love the possibility to merge accounts because I had problem syncing my nexus one with google server and it copied my contacts 3 or 4 times. Now it's perfect! The only problem is to click "Merge" on every duplicate .-.
[Android Apps and Games] Ehsan Mahmood:
its cool app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultraman666:
Man everything the Go Dev team touches is awesome.....a theme for this would be perfect. Way cool
[Android Apps and Games] cyruz1:
Happened to stumble across this. Looks and feels great. Will put it to the test!
[Android Apps and Games] 8ESP:
YES!

I was just waiting for them to release an app like this! I never liked youlu and have been using the stock app.

Going to try this out now. I think I'm turning in to a Go! Fanboy. They just need someone to check their english :p
[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:
I really love your launcher and SMS application, but I stick with rocketdial for now...
[Android Apps and Games] Drakknar:

[Android Apps and Games] deaffob:
Those contact pictures are from japanese pornz. lol
[Android Apps and Games] AngrySwede:
This looks promising.
[Android Apps and Games] algarues:
It is a cool app to filter through contacts quickly

But then if I select one contact from the main list, I get the detailed view from the stock application.

Is this how the app is supposed to behave or do I have to change some settings?

By the way, after installation the app changes name from go contacts to go dialer
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
Another excellent app from GO team. I searched for a good contacts app alternative and I think I will stick with this. One important think missing only: support of other language letters in dialer. I'm interested for greek alphabet. If you plan to support this future, these are the letters:

--- ΑΒΓ ΔΕΖ
ΗΘΙ ΚΛΜ ΝΞΟ
ΠΡΣ ΤΥΦ ΧΨΩ

And if you plan to support localization, I can make the greek translation too.

Just let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] pilgrim011:
This app drains battery. I have been tracking it's behaviour for several hours via Watchdog Task Manager (refresh every minute) and it reported Go Contacts every 5-15 minutes. CPU usage was usually around 5-6%. Why is it running in the background in sleep mode?

Secondly, there is a bug with Go Dialer - sometimes (very, very often) clicking on the shortcut on the homescreen doesn't activate dialer. It's just not responding to touch. Then I have to re-add it to start working again. One more thing - the default icons are really ugly - it feels almost like iPhone, which is an awful thing for me. Uninstalled, but I'll keep watching the development.
[Android Apps and Games] kkwus74:
im really liking this app:)....anyway to integrate Gosms into this?...that would be awsome!:)

Did you check all the settings option. You have to turn off system notifications etc.

[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
Although nothing has changed, I've checked these settings and even toggled them to no avail.

Going to uninstall and reinstall Go Contacts EX. It only began happening after installing this. I like it and really hope I don't have to revert back to Go Contacts though :(
[Android Apps and Games] Maxymo123:
Before I've used go contacts but for editing contacts I've used the default app. With a new update I've lost the possibility to open/edit a contact in the default system contact editor.

Anyone knows how to set the viewing/editing contacts in the default editor again??

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ViViDboarder:
Fix Clearing Missed Call Notifications *ROOT*

If your phone is rooted, download Titanium Backup and long press on Go Contacts and Convert to System App.

Done.

Google removed the ability for non-system apps for PHONE_STATE permissions. For some reason missed calls fall under that umbrella. Converting to a system app and rebooting fixed it for me.

Now, my own question/suggestion/annoyance:

I have a LOT of contacts grouped under Other Contacts on my Gmail, but all these show up in GO Contacts while in the standard Contacts app I only sync the group My Contacts. Any ideas on how to get rid of these extras and filter this?
[Android Apps and Games] Bl4ck3urn:
@ViViDboarder

this workaround works for sure, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] gottria:
Been using go contacts ex and works good. Only thing bothering me is under dialpad all the call histories it doesn't list the actual number, it just says mobile or home. I like it to list the number.
[Android Apps and Games] biopsin:
Hi,

I read that this can replace the stock contacts, so i moved gocontacts to system/app folder and deleted the contacts.apk.. but it doesnt let me add new contacts, everything else works ok, so i guess it depends on the stock contacts app to add new contact entries in contactsprovider.apk?
[Android Apps and Games] kkinder:
Ditto. Google separates out "My Contacts" from "All Contacts", of which the latter are auto-generated from anyone you ever email with at all, ever. Displaying All Contacts instead of My Contacts is really painful.
[Android Apps and Games] matthieup:
Hi,

did you do anything special? I tried to use to convert to system app from titanium backup but it gets in a loop and doesn't work (titanium that is)...

Is copying the apk to system\app the same as using that function?
[Android Apps and Games] ViViDboarder:
No I didn't do anything special. Is your Titanium Backup up to date? Another user is having the same problem using Touchpal Dialer

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18136022&postcount=46

Also, moving to system/app might be the same... I'm not sure if there are any additional libraries or anything, but it could work.
[Android Apps and Games] ugle43:
I am not quite sure what is a part of Go Contacts or Go dialer, but i have som questions:

1. When i call or message a favorite, i get the choice of which number to send a sms too or call, I want too choose a default number that is always used, and also assign that some numbers (that are land-lines), too not be possible to send sms too at all. Is this possible?

2. I want it to have a different ring-tone when someone not on my contact list calls me. Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Lakitu:
I'd like the GO Dev Team to implement a great Touchwiz 4 feature; swipe to call.

Pleaseeease?!

I just started using GO Contacts and am loving it so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Ralfioni:
I have set up several accounts on my phone: e.g. Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Linkedin and Whatsapp. Why does Go Contacts only allow me to link/merge Gmail, Facebook, Twitter contacts? The other accounts don't even show up.
[Android Apps and Games] jonasb_dk:
Has anyone figured out a way to sync only certain groups with GO Contact? It's a pain in the neck to see ALL contacts ALL the time! :)
[Android Apps and Games] ViViDboarder:
Still my main complaint with GO Contacts...
[Android Apps and Games] duranek:
Same problem and really annoying.. I cant figure out what should I do? Someone got any idea?
[Android Apps and Games] d2boy:
There's no way of filtering it now (at least I found none).

I suggest sending your feedback to the developersgoforandroid@gmail.com

They could include this feature
[Android Apps and Games] diplodok:
sorry for my english but r
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Google does not translate very well it seems.

*ins>rt sig here*
[Android Apps and Games] diplodok:
ok! I try again myself :-)

If I use, for example, sms or contacts widget and tap on the picture of contact, i have a list: dialer, contacts, sms, mail, facebook.

dialer and contact is default
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Ok, I'm with ya so far.

What is it you're trying to do? The icons that show up "dialer, sms, email, etc.. " are going to vary per contact, depending on what info you have entered into your phone for that contact. If a particular contact doesn't have an email address assigned to it, then the email icon won't show up when you press the contact picture. So unless you have a contact without a phone number, then the message icon and dialer icon will always be there.

*ins>rt sig here*
[Android Apps and Games] diplodok:
when i tap this icon should turn on "go contacts"? but in my phone turn on stock phonebook. for example icon of SMS turn on "handset sms", not stock
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Okay, I know what you're saying now. I just tried looking around on mine and cant find any setting to change the default. It sounds to me that your phone is reading the stock dialer is set at default and overriding gocontacts/dialer. Is there any setting in your phone that you might have to uncheck in order for the stock dialer to be disabled maybe?

*ins>rt sig here*
[Android Apps and Games] diplodok:
I think that I check everything :/ I change gocontacts to system app and did not help. have you any others ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] mrrick:
Sorry bro. That was the extent of my capabilities. Maybe someone will pop in with a solution for you. Good luck..

*ins>rt sig here*
[Android Apps and Games] ViViDboarder:
Could be two things, you can go to Settings > Applications > Dialer > Clear defaults, to try and make sure it's not actually listed as a default. If that doesn't help it could be the widget you are using. The widget maker could be explicitly calling the stock app.
[Android Apps and Games] Yann.L:
If anyone could tell me to how to switch off the feature that automatically adds "+1" (assuming that is US country code) in front of every number you dial. Since I am not in American, this feature makes the app unusable.
[Android Apps and Games] Rapier:
I just downloaded GO Contacts EX and mainly have 2 issues:

1. Cannot switch themes. I've tried several free ones from market, also the included "dark theme"...nothing changes. Only the button in the dialer and some signs for incoming/outgoing/missed calls in the logs. The rest remains as the default (white/blue)

2. Occasionally (when going to change settings or change Theme) I get FCs.

Tried to reinstall, it's the same. Using Virtuous Quattro ROM (ICS RC3), launcher is GO Launcher. Other dialers works ok, I was trying EX Dialer, RocketDial without problems.

Any tips on what to try? Is there an incompatibility with ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] b00rik:
Hi All!

Just upgraded to ICS and got that bug: I can see all incoming sms in call log... with 00.00 duration, but system dialer shows calls only.

If anyone could tell me to how to get rid of it?

GO Contacts issue...!!

Hi….

I am facing a problem with Go contacts. I have imported my contacts from the memory card. After importing, the contacts can be seen in my stock contacts app. But, it is not showing in Go contacts. I have checked and unchecked all the available options in “contacts to show”. I have tried different versions of Go contacts. Still cannot see any of my contacts. Anyone having the same problem…??

Pls help me friends…

Awaiting your replies…

Thanx in advance….
[Android Apps and Games] :
Without an own contqct interface it doesn't make that much sense :/
[Android Apps and Games] DannyBiker:
Agreed that for the moment, the app is not really helpful, only pointing to the stock app. Facebook/Twtter sync would be awesome aswell.

BUT...it's the Go Dev team, so you can count on them to implement theses functions within two months ! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Seems ok. I really think the Dialer One is more feature rich.

With Go, if I go to the Dialer and press my name, I'll see 3 entries ... one for mobile, one for home and one for work. If I go to the contacts and click my name, I get sent to the built in contacts.

Why does one screen take me to the built in contact while the other displays all entries under my name separately?

Wish there was a way to choose between this or that.
[Android Apps and Games] kkinder:
I'm a little suspicious of GO's apps in general. They're all free, without ads, and from a mysterious Chinese company with no visible means of revenue. Oh, and they all need access to your contact data and full Internet access.

Sketchy sketchy sketchy. I'm passing in their apps until I have some assurances about my privacy using them. The fact that you're finding that GO is waking up every few minutes only reinforces my questioning.
[Android Apps and Games] Jazi:
Seeing as mountains of people use them I wouldn't worry.

Contact data for a contact app? Soooo sketchy. Internet for apps that (although might no up front say it, or might have the programming framework laid but not implemented) can pull photos from facebook?

As my english teacher taught me. People care a lot less about who you are and who you know than you think.
[Android Apps and Games] marf3:
tried Photo unlocker but it sais over and over again: contacts database busy. Any other chance to get the contact pictures ?
