Help! Deleted my launcher with Titanium Backup and now phone doesn't work!!

I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section

Hey there everyone. I have a My Touch Q LG-C800. I believe that I might have bricked my phone but I was on a couple different web sites stating that if you can still factory reset your android phone you should be alright.

So let me explain how it happened.. First I rooted my My Touch Q, everything was running perfectly then I thought I wanted to do more since I thought woah! rooting was so easy and I used "SuperOneClickv2.3.3" to root my phone, so it was really easy.. lol but ya then I started to use "Titanium Backup" since I really hated having all those other stocked apps on your phone, figured it could help boost the speed of my slowww My Touch Q. Opened up Titanium Backup and went to the system apps, I first stored the apps that I thought I still might need to my micro sd card, then after finished backing up those apps, I then uninstalled the apps that I found was unneeded. After I finished backing up and uninstalling all the unneeded apps I figured that hey! I backed everything up and I should be perfectly fine to do anything else now!! So I went to the market (Play) and downloaded "Rom manager"..

So then I downloaded rom manager and it had and option to find a rom online and I chose the rom with the most download cause I thought it should be the best choice to make. I click on it and I forgot what it was called (I connected my phone to my laptop and am able to get the phone into usb storage mode, microsdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0-Z71-signed.zip and microsdcard/clockworkmod/download/download2.clockworkmod.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip-- I'm not too sure what this means but it could be of help). then after clicking on the rom to download it then gave me a lists of versions to download I of course chose the stable version. (sucks that I can't remember what rom I actually download..) after I downloaded it it told me to back up my rom.. so I thought it'd back up everything from the phone. (I know I should have done my research before proceeding..) after backing up the phone.. it just did like a factory reset on my phone.. and I mean that was fine but the main problem is that after it had the basic tips tutorial and all that jazz and intro to stuff for the phone, I chose to skip all that stuff because I've restored my phone plenty of times.

But this time was different I clicked next and after that it wouldn't let me go to my phones like "home" and when I clicked the home button it download go to the home screen. Like the notification is still there just not that bottom part, it's just black there and I can't click anything there. Although I can drag the notification bar down and stuff. and lock screen works fine.

So I think my phones still not bricked.. but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the "default launcher" back.. on to the phone because I remember I had uninstalled it from my phone because I was using a different launcher "adw launcher or adw freak launcher, one of the two". I btw did back the default launcher with Titanium Backup, the default launcher is "com.lge.launcher-380e147c617387bc38cabec97baa8437.apk.gz"

If there is anyone out there that could possibly help me fix my phone that would be very much appropriated My girl friend had bought me this very phone for me because I have been using the gravity t for sooooo long lol and it hasn't been working well the touch screen it had had totally mess up. Anyways have a wonderful night everyone!

Go to google market on a pc search for launcher like adw and install .It should install on your phone even thou your on a pc (make sure phone is on) then click home button on phone adw should start. Then you can reinstall default launcher from tb. Not sure if this will work but worth a try.

He has no launcher simple so the phone does not have a homescreen until he installs a launcher somehow. I just offered one way to get one installed when he had no access to play on his phone. There are lots of other more complicated ways but was hoping to make it easy for him.

Seeing as you seem to have used SuperOneClick, you must have enabled USB Debugging, which means you can use ADB. Connect your phone via USB to your computer (have it switched on at the time) and open a command prompt in a folder with adb.exe and the APK for some launcher. Run the following command then:

adb install launcher.apk

(assuming the launcher is named launcher.apk; change the command to reflect the real name of the APK).

After it says it has finished installing, press home and the launcher should hopefully load.

Try what was suggested above with the Play Store and see if that works, but if it doesn't, this will.

Or else make a flashable zip file with any launcher .. reboot recovery flash it..

Thanks will try it try it out.

How would I be able to access the file that I'm downloading from the market on pc? Would I have to connect to the internet and sign into my gmail account on my phone? If so that's not possible because I can't go anywhere, the bottom part under the notification bar is all blank after the android's like introduction thing. And I won't be able to connect to the internet because I can't even go into my phones control panel? or what ever to find my home wireless network and enter my password

Boot? as in ..

Hmm by boot do you mean screen turns on and the intro starting and setting up screen starting up after the video? Then yes it does in fact boot up. Just the middle screen isn't functional because I uninstalled awn dock or what ever, the like defualt launcher for the phone. Have I installed the rom?.. That's hard to answer. I have "Downloaded it with rom manager" and clicked on install after reboot but.. I do not believe that it actually install.. I mean how would you know if it installed?

Remember I have done the factory reset on this phone so I'm still unsure if usb debugging is automatically on still or checked. I hope it is though. and there is not way for me to actually go into the settings and check if it is on. but will definitely try this out. I've never used ADB before so idk how or where to get it, I have tried to figure it out but wasn't successful. I do have APK, along wth Android SDK Tools.
