How To restore home when stock launcher gets deleted

The most dangerous situation while using android phones is having no launcher in your phone. This situation arises when you delete your last existing launcher from your phone's system/app. It happened for me a lot of times. Because most of the stock launchers other than htc sense are junk. You probably want to delete your stock launcher or to mod your stock launcher. In either way what happens if you delete your stock launcher and you don't have an alternative. Your are stuck with a black screen which makes you impossible took open anything in your phone. In this situation you can attend calls but cannot make one, you can receive mails and message. I searched a lot of sites for the solution, but most of them told me to reflash the firmware. I was like what the hell.

After lot of thinking and I found a way to get your phone back normal without reflash. So here you go.
1. Mail the market link of an alternative launcher like launcher pro to your phone.
2. Open the mail and the link.
3. It opens the market app where you can download your launcher.
4. There it there you go. Now you can restore your stock launcher using root explorer or similar app.

I Look Back - Final Episode

G was really frustrated with the problems she was facing these days. But she didn't realise that I am the one behind all these. I was happily enjoying watching her crying. But something inside me insisted not to do these things. So I slowly averted myself from doing bad to her. What ever I do I will always share those things with my friends. I also told them how I frustrated G, just to show my potential and my manliness. I was becoming very close to G. Normally girls will appreciate your presence when they are in grief. So G really liked my presence when she was disturbed, without knowing that I was the disturbance. I gave her a note book and a pen as a gift to her birthday. What did you expect me to give as a gift at that age. I still remember that the note book had a dinosaur picture in the cover. We were friends after that. She became the class Representative that year. But I was not upset for that rather happy.

But that day came when I have to leave the town since my dad got transferred to Salem. My friends knew that I will be leaving the city but they didn't know when. I went to school till the day we left the town. One day I was absent for the school and the next day also. People might have realised that I left the town. After that I never had contact with any of my friends. I remembered only their names and the memories.

After ten years, I was in Coimbatore, doing my UG. Orkut was very famous those days. I saw a community has been created for my school in Sivagangai. I joined the community and in my Intro I enquired if any of my class mates are still there. A year after my post I got a reply from S. I enquired her about G and others. It was of no use. S also moved out of Sivagangai after 6th standard.

After 2 years, these days FaceBook is much popular than Orkut. I didn't use Orkut for about 2 months. I totally forgot about the post in that community. Surprisingly I got a friend request. Guess who? Its G. That night we almost chatted for 3 hours. She requested me to write a blog about Sivagangai and Our school. Now I complete the blog of my experience in Sivagangai.

Dheena.

I look back - Episode 11

In our country, when the government wants to do some reforms, they won’t do it all by themselves. They appoint some representatives to execute in behalf of them. Also these representatives won’t execute the reforms properly and they use the power given by the government, to their own benefits and some of their relatives, which will give frustration to many people. You may wonder why I am telling this. You will get to know in this write up.

In my school, later there was a rule put forward by our head mistress. The rule states that every student in our school should wash their Tiffin boxes after the lunch. Since school did not have enough staffs to check the students Tiffin boxes also it wouldn’t be fair for the management to tell the staffs to check the Tiffin boxes. So they appointed representatives from students to check everyone’s boxes after the lunch. Only after getting the OK from the rep, any student is allowed to enter the class after the lunch.

That day, G was eating her lunch as usual with her gang. I looked at her as she just finished eating. She washed her box and wiped it. She looked her face in the reflection created by the shining clean silvery Tiffin box of her. She did wash her face before that and combed her hair in to round bundle. She looked very beautiful. She walked towards the entrance and showed her box to the rep. Though the box was clean, the rep told her that it was unclean and told her to wash the box again. She was confused and she was not able to resist him and just for his satisfaction she washed the box once again. This time the box was ultimately clean. Again the same rep, he refused to allow her again. She was totally frustrated. She started to argue with the rep. But he was very stubborn in not allowing her. So she again washed and this time she went to show to another rep. But he also refused to allow her. After the fifth time they allowed her to go.

I could see the anger and frustration in her. I was not able to just stand there anymore. So I just went to the place where these reps are standing and thanked them. “Do this to her frequently, I want her to cry before me”, I said.

I Look Back - Episode 10

I am confused. I really didn’t expect this from you, she continued. Expect what? I thought. You proved that you are no different from other guys, she added. You helped me a lot in continuing my studies; you had been a good friend amongst other boys. But this is what you have in return for me, She continued. So here after there is no relationship between you and me, and I am ashamed being friend with you, she grunted before leaving the place. But even after she left I was thinking how she came to know this matter, I dint tell her yet. After a while my best friend came that way. I enquired him whether he said anything to G. He said no but he assured he told S. Finally I came to know how this news got spread. If you tell a girl a news and tell her not to tell any one, then at the end of the day every one will know the news. They call it a girl thing.

He requested my apology for telling this news to S. I did not see any mistake on his part. I am not in anger with him. But with G. how could she believe blindly whatever she hears about me. If she is truly in friendship with me she should have asked me about that for confirming. The act of her clearly shows that she is just like any other girl. Nothing special in her. But I am not going to leave this alone. I am going to teach her a good lesson. The cunning part of me, which gone to hiding because of her, now came back to me, that too because of her.

Every love starts with fight and ends with love, but in my case it started with love and now going to end with war, I said to my friend.

I Look Back - Episode 9

I nodded my head slowly as if I was accepting the offer with some hesitation, though my heart was jumping in joy. I looked at G and C, as they were standing together. I noticed a smile just leaked out of G’s face. She noticed that I am beholding her so I skipped my sight out of her. I got ready for rehearsal as teacher wanted me to stand in the centre. I was waiting for a big dance step, but she just told me to raise my hands and wave for some time. That was easy for me. And after that I was holding the girls’ hands and I came forward to the front of the stage as people before me standing or sitting in front of the stage clapped the hands. It was the annual I felt very happy getting applauds from the crowd.

After our show I just went to the changing room for shedding my costumes, where I saw G just standing before me and alone in the room. She was standing very near to me as I can smell her fragrance. As once my friend said usually it was not love at first sight, at first sniff it was. I was simply looking at her. My eyes forbade sending the signals to the brain but my nose did. She waved her hands before my face as if she’s saying bye to me, but wanted to get my attention. I got out of that hallucination after a while. What she asked. Nothing, I lied. She threw a smile at me and just left the room. At that I felt like holding her face in my hands. I think at some instant of this time she became a part of me. And at that instant I decided to tell her that how much I like her. I didn’t want to mention it as love, because I was not at an age to understand what love is. It was a feeling, which makes you think about one person most of the time.

One day I told all these things to one of my best friend. I believed in him. After telling this to him I felt very much relieved. That evening G came to me. I was little bit nervous. “I didn’t expect this from you”, she told.

I Look back - Episode 8

Her name was C. I really wanted to be very close to her. But fortunately I didn’t get opportunities for that. Even I tried to make some, but didn’t work well. Every one in our class, attracted to her. She was very close to one of my big rival in my class and this made me hate her. There was a saying in Tamil “Nizhalil arumai veyilil theriyum” (you will realize the goodness of Shadow only when you are exposed to the sun). I really missed G those days. I wanted to continue the relationship with her.

Meanwhile annual day celebrations were announced in our school. Teacher asked for active participation in the cultural events from our class. Firstly she asked for skit, some people from my class opted for that. I didn’t opt for skit; actually I never wanted to participate in these events. There are two reasons for that. One is, if you are participating in the events, you need not to come to school that day. Secondly, I always wanted to sit back, relax and watch the performance.

Teacher asked for dance participation. For me dance is like eating bitter guard. But both G and C opted for dance participation and my rival P also opted for dance. The only thing went on my mind is what happen if they pair G or C with P. I can’t even imagine that. So with out even thinking again I raised my hand for Dance participation. On the next Saturday they arranged for dance practice in my headmistress house. I told my mom that I am going for dance practice. She looked at me strangely and asked dance? You? “Yes” I replied. When I went there I came to know that boys and girls are dancing separately. I scolded myself for my foolishness. They wanted us to dance for some song. After seeing my dance they removed from the group and made me wait. I was just watching others dancing, also sometimes peeping in to the room where girls danced. While I was peeping in to the girl’s room one teacher saw me and called me inside. I was frightened to the core. I thought she was going to beat me in front of all the girls that too G and C are there inside.

Teacher asked me why I am not dancing with the boys. I told her that no slot available for me, hiding the truth that I was expelled because of my poor dance. After thinking for a while she asked me, “Can you dance with these girls??”

I look back - Episode 7

I had a feeling in my childhood days. I always imagine my cycle as a bike, since i admired bikes very much. I imagined some places as fuel stations and I my self imagined that my cycle had a transmission system and made manual transmissions. so practically after filling the fuel for my bicycle I started for G's house.

On my way to her house I saw green fields all over. The birds in the sky also accompanied me in my journey. The obvious bumps and pits in the road appeared to be easy for me. Only the thought of seeing her house filled my heart. I never drove my cycle this far. But it didn't make me tired. At that time even climbing a hill seems to be a easy job for me. I really thought the above said things would happen. But it didn't. I was tired after driving for a Km. So we stopped for a while. I was staring at the path which we have to take next. Suddenly a heavy blow landed on my back. I was shaken by the blow, the face reflected with both anger and pain. Even tears started flowing from my eyes. I turned to see who is that. It was my mom.

Since I was not there near my place for a while, My parents started for searching me. They inquired about my presence in all my friends place. Then suddenly they came to know that I was heading towards Railway station, that's where G's house is situated, my mom came that way in search of me. I was literally dragged by mom to my house. My parents did not allowed me to go out of our campus, then. Visiting her house seemed to be a mirage for me.

During weekends I and my friends never stayed in home. We always roam some where and play cricket to the core. That day we saw a new family arriving there. They came for the flat next to ours. We saw them moving the things from the van they came to the flat. There I saw a girl who's more beautiful and attractive than G.

I look back - Episode 6

Who is this G? You people might wonder. I told you previously that there was a new joinee in our class. She was that new joinee, as she was introduced to me by one of my teacher. At first I didn’t like G. But later I was amused by her talent and interest in studies. I always had a soft corner for her. But I pretended as if I had a lot hatred for her. I was always expecting a chance to be with her. I had a lot too. My class teacher wanted someone to teach her English grammar. But no one was very confident to volunteer for that. But my excellence in “Fun with grammar” offered me that chance. Thanks to “Fun with grammar”. I always liked her presence near me. That’s why I didn’t feel sad for getting second rank. Even in the mark list she was near me.

Near my house in Sivagangai, there was a person, who was friendly with me and my brother. His name is Durai I guess. I used to take his bicycle, just for a ride. Since it was a very tall cycle, it was very difficult for riding it. One day when I took the cycle for a ride I fell down and got injured badly. On seeing this dad brought me a new cycle. It was a BSA Champ.

There was a guy named A in my class, who lives near the railway station. With his help I found that G was living near his place. We used to have study groups in our class, where one bright student has to teach other people in the group. As obvious, I am the leader of my group and this A was in my group. So I made a deal with A that he has to show me G’s house and I shall leave him free during study hours. So one Sunday after lunch I asked him to come to school, so that A can show me G’s house. And we started…

I look back - episode 5

Most of the girls in my class won’t study well. They always got scolded by the teacher. Because of this I came to a conclusion that girls basically bad at studies. They are not fit for a healthy competition in studies with the boys, at least in my class. So this made me to give the girl in my class, a less importance. I was very partial and playing a lot of politics against girls. This made some of the girls frustrated. They were seeking a messiah for them. But whatever it may be, the big support for me is the teachers. They are very fond of me and supported me very well.

I heard there was a new comer for our class. Since I also heard it was a girl, I was not much interested. The girls didn’t notice that I was noticing them, making small meetings with her and discussing a lot of stuffs. “Ah that’s all usual girls stuff. Don’t care about ‘em”, I gentled one of my friend who got irritated on seeing all these.

In my school they organized Karate classes for the students. I was very interested in learning Karate and to become a Karate kid. But my dad was not allowing me, since he thought I will become very rude after learning. But I insisted mom to make me join the Karate class. After a lot of advices my dad admitted me. I learn theoretical classes in the school and practice them with my brother. Most of the time I will beat him up and he’ll complain to mom. I think mom might have regretted for her recommendation.

I never expected that this would happen. All my dreams were shattered. I don’t know how to face my mom and dad, even my friends. For the very first time I felt very ashamed. It was like a scary nightmare. My heart was not ready to touch the second rank batch. I now realized how bad S felt on getting third rank batch that day, when I got first rank. It was a pain to lose I realized then. But still I was happy to have a competition at least, that too from the other gender. Yes, the new comer got the first rank and beaten me. Her name is G.

I look Back - Episode 4

Thanks to “Fun with Grammar”, which made me score few marks more than him, to secure the first rank. And voila, it also made me the class leader. Hmm that’s impressive. My mom was very happy to see that I got first rank. Every one was very surprised to see that I got first rank being a new comer to the school. I became very famous in the school. You can see no teacher, who doesn’t know Dheena.

My mom and dad are very much interested in visiting temples. I think that is mostly because of devotion. But for me, after going to a lot of temples with them it induced a taste for architecture. I really love to visit the ancient temples and monuments. I admire the artistic quality of the people at the ancient time. One of such favorite places we visited when we are in Sivagangai is Nattarasankottai.

Nattarasankottai is situated 9 km from Sivagangai. Nattarasankottai is ancient village. The fame and popularity came to this place mainly due to Sree Kannudaya Nayaki Amman Temple. On realizing the displeasure of Kannatha, the village people constructed a separate temple for Kannathal facing North with a water tank in the front. This temple mahamandapam is known for its magnificent structure and aesthetically carved pillars. My mom used to call the amman as Ayiram Kannudaiyal. She also told a story for that name, but I can’t remember it. I also heard that one of the Maruthu brothers was hanged to death here, because his final wish was that he should be watching the temple while his soul leaves his body.

Some of the students in our class and other classes really liked me as class leader and a good friend. But for some people I looked very atrocious. They really didn’t like me. They were thinking that I was very pride that I am studying well. I was able to hear them saying,”he who can diminish and destroy dheena’s hubris, will come”. I was expecting him. But at that time I didn’t know it was not ‘he’, its ‘she’.

I look back - episode 3

I heard there was a practice in the school that for the students who are getting first three ranks, they give badges, which the student can wear it for two or three days. In the badge the rank of the student will be imprinted. I heard that the students will be very proud to wear those badges as every one in the school will come to know about their performance. For the first three ranks class teacher will give the badges to the respective students in the class room itself while issuing rank sheets to the class.

That day class teacher entered our class and told that she will be distributing the rank sheets to the students. I was very eager to know my marks. Usually that’s my behavior; I will not be scared of getting mark sheets as most people do. Our class teacher was distributing the mark sheets from the lowest rank (or is that the highest rank). Till 10th rank I was sitting happily seeing others getting mark sheets. But when it neared rank 10, I was concerned to know when teacher will call my name and what rank I got. Till 5th rank she didn’t called my name. I was hoping for the 4th rank. But teacher called some other name for 4th rank. Teacher breathed heavily after this breath taking task. I was very happy that I got with in first three ranks and that I am going to get the badge. Teacher called the name “S”, who has got the third rank. Teacher gave her the badge. But she started crying after receiving the badge. I asked my neighbor why. He replied me that previously she was getting second rank badge. There was a huge silence after that.

“dheenadhayalan”, Teacher called my name. Though I was little bit disappointed, I was happy that at least I got second rank. I went near her and she clipped the batch near my shirt pocket. “Very good dheenu, you proved you are a potential student in the first exam itself”, she told. “I make dheenu the leader of the class”, she added. I looked at the badge near my pocket. It was written 1^st rank.

I look back - Episode 2

This is my first day in the school. Everything is very different for me. The campus, the class rooms, the teachers, the students, the black board, the chalk and every thing is completely different. I thought I was entering into a completely new world. The main reason is that in my previous school, the teacher is my aunt, the students are my neighbors with whom I would play in the evenings and the head master is my relative. The school is very nearby, for every period break I visit my home. At that my only happiness is that my bro is also studying in the same school. I can see him when ever I want.

I entered the class room, the first class was English. I was very good in grammar in my previous classes. I opened the book “Fun with Grammar”. “Come on bring it on”, I whispered. The guy near me, “aaw, its time to sleep”, yawned. I tried to tell him that this subject will be very useful sometime later. But he seems to have very less interest in the subject and ignored my recommendation. I continued listening the class keenly. I heard from my neighbor guy that one guy named E was here who used get first rank all the time. No one has beaten him in past 2 years. He showed me who that guy is. He also seemed to have less interest in the class. “What? I am the only one who’s having ‘Fun with Grammar’!!!”, I wondered. Rest of the day went smoothly, other than my short introduction each and every teacher who comes to my class. You may notice that “the class” has become “my class” in one day.

Here comes the first term examination, to prove who am I? The exams are like jujupi for me. I was quite confident that I can get at least 10^th rank. This is what I told my mom also. But…

I look back

I was 8 years old. My dad got transferred to Sivagangai. It was a district head in the south of TamilNadu. At first when I heard this name I thought gangai is flowing through this place, though somehow I know that gangai is a river.

There are different versions told regarding the orgin of the name ‘SIVAGANGAI.’Firstly, according to one version sivagangai was the battle field for many rulers shedding blood and hence the ‘SEV VENGA’ which in course of time became sivaganga

Secondly, there was a tank (Theppakulam) near the sivaganga area which was very similar to the sivagangai tank of Natarajar temple of Thillai Chidambaram. So, that the region was named as sivagangai.

In resemblance of the Ganges river being on the head of the Lord Siva as Ganga Devi a palace with a Siva temple was built from which the name ‘sivagangai’ was derived.

Fourthly, in memory of Sasivarna Thevar killing a ‘SHEV VENGA’ or red-tiger at the tanjore raja’s court, the palace was name as Sev-Vengai later gradually changed into sivagangai. Sasivarna Periya Udaya Thevar bathed in a spring which was called by the people as ‘sivagangai’. A place was built near the spring and a town was formed and named after the spring as ‘SIVAGANGAI’.

The temple is built by some king who ruled the We didn’t have much package that tempo was enough to hold all the things. We also travelled in the same vehicle to Sivagangai. It was a 6 hours journey. It was the first time I was coming out of our native at least to my knowledge. I think it’s a human tendency to get scared of new place, at least me. Everything is going to be new for me. New house, new school, new teachers, new classmates and new neighbors. If something is new we all will be happy. But for the first time I am scared of new things. I showed aversion to go with new things.

After two days my dad finalized the school where we are going to study, though he did this research before reaching Sivagangai. I and my bro are taken to the head mistress of the school for “Entrance test”. At least I was studying 3^rd but my bro was just UKG, don’t know why he also required to write a test. She gave me some mathematical problems. Not from trigonometric but some 2+2, 5+7 kind of questions. All went well, she told my dad that my mathematical knowledge is very good and she was happy to admit us to the school. At that moment I was thinking cha “எப்படி இருந்த நான் இப்படி ஆயிட்டேன்”. That time I don’t know that in this place and school I am going to have great time in my life.

The white polished wooden door of the flat X2 situated in the tenth floor of the newly built and less occupied sky-scrapping Spanish style apartment, opened. He and She came through the door to their newly brought flat. They are couples. He works for a Multinational company as a senior software engineer. He is just like ordinary human being. He is a geek kind of guy. He is very intelligent and hard working. He is one of the outstanding performers of their company. Though in his company they are following strict rules regarding timings, there are some exceptions for manager’s pets. He loved his wife very much.

She works as a play school teacher. She was from a very rich background. Her father was a big business man. But she was working as a teacher just for time pass. The guy’s family was not as rich as the girl’s but her father accepted for her marriage, because their marriage is a love marriage. Also they are newly married.

The white door of the flat opened from inside. “Honey, I’ll drop you at the school”, he said. She replied, “It will take 15 more minutes for me to get ready.”. “Should I wait?”He asked. She told him that she would take an auto to the school and asked him to leave. Bang, the white door is closed. He drove his new red color Maruti Swift to his office. A 15 minute later the door was opened from inside. “Tring Tring “her mobile cried. It was her school head mistress, told her that since it was raining the school is not working today. After the call her mobile died of no battery. She ran inside the room to put the mobile back in charge.

He called her mobile to ask whether she reached school but it was replied by the operator that the mobile is switched off. So he called the school and found that the school is off today.

The white door of the flat was still open. She was cooking for the lunch. A black shadow just went intersecting the axis of the white door and entered the kitchen of the flat X2.the shadow also contains the shadow of two cloth pieces. The shadow is a man’s shadow. He blind folded her with one cloth and tied her hands with the other. He dragged her to the bed and made her lie down on the bed. She was shouting loud “help help”. He traversed his hand over her body. By the time she realized what he wants actually. She said,”Hey, I know you want to f*** me. Don’t hurt me. Untie me. I am ready to do this with you”. She realized the sudden pressure loss over her body. The shadow went through the white door exiting the apartment. She removed her hand cuff with his mouth and uncovered her blind fold. She was surprised that her plan to make him untie her hand and after that she could use some weapons which she and her husband placed in the bed room for safety, to attack him, didn’t work. But any ways she was happy that he left her "untouched". She closed the white door and latched it.

The shadow went to the basement and got in to the red color Maruti swift with heart break
