Don't know what a velocity rom is, but sounds like you either uninstalled your launcher or it is corrupt. Are you rooted? That's the only way I know that you could have uninstalled it. Here's what you can do to recover regardless. Go to play market from your computer, sign in with your assosiated account to the device and find a home launcher you like. I've used launcher pro and go launcher ex on the flipside. Send your choice to your phone. Then when you unlock the phone, press the home key and you should be given the choice to use the new launcher. Should fix, but you'll have to do some customizing.

it was rooted however i dont think it is now because i tryed to do the master reset when it first happened. will this still work without being rooted?

Should still work. Doesn't hurt to try.
You can use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1321582 to root again. Just did it on mine and worked perfect. Credit to DooMLord.

Not without being able to access the home screen. If you can't remember the google account associated with the phone, sounds like only option is to reflash with the stock sbf. You will lose all data on the phone but not the sd card. The files needed are in the development section.

i did it. i did another master reset resetup the emails form the beginning still had issues messed with the phone got the voice commands to open and told it to open the market by voice command and downloaded it from the phone. its working again now.

Awesome. Glad it worked out. Forgot about voice search cuz I never use it. Any idea how you lost your default launcher?

im not entirely sure how the original got corrupt or missing i unlocked it to make a text on the 26th and it just dident load the home. but its working just as good as it always has now.

well its been a few days the phone works great thogh im not entirely liking the new buttons on the bottom. does anyone know where to get the original motorola flipside home launcher?
