Re: why does my phone keep telling me launcher has stopped?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? The launcher is the homescreen interface. There might be some data that is corrupted. Are you able to go to Settings>Apps>All? If so, tap Launcher, then Clear Cache. If that doesn't help, then Clear Data as well. This will wipe your homescreens, so you'll have to set them up again with your usual shortcuts and widgets, but it might clear the problem.

Hey

Tried doing that, but it now says, Unfortunately settings have stopped. Any other word around?
