Unfortunately launcher has stopped. How do I restart it?

Today I updated my Allview Viper L to 4.4.2. Up untill this point the "Unfortunately the launcher has stopped working" message would appear only when I would try to edit the Desktop. After the update it kept on appearing. Rebooted the phone, powered off and on, took out the battery but the error still appeared.

HOWEVER, I noticed that tapping and swiping down on the upper side of the screen allowed me to reach the Settings. From there I went to System Backup and backed up my data(contacts, call log,calendar etc) to my SD card. Afterwards I went to Backup & reset and tapped on Factory data reset, tapped on Format phone storage and then, finally, hit Reset phone. Now it's working perfectly: it's still updated to 4.4.2, I have all my data, music and the rest

P.S. One reason I think this error appeared is because I disabled some apps and the phone warned me that things may go sideways so....moral of the story: don't disable apps that are already on your phone. Disable only the apps you installed and you are perfectly sure won't affect your phone in any way. Hope I've helped.

Try by adding a different home launcher. I am using Google Home Launcher, here is a link to the app in the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...

After installing it go to settings and set the new home launcher. It's functional and does the job... do I love it? It's a good and functional launcher and that's what it counts to me at this point since the stock launcher has gone to !&&* a while upgrading to Lollipop and it's not getting fixed anytime soon. Hope this will help you like it helped me.

Cheers! ;)
