By mistake reset my android desktop! All widgets and links erased!

[larry1076]

I thought i was just erasing google app search history but it seems i completely deleted all my Android UI desktop widgets, links, and shortcuts. Is there any way to roll back to the previous settings?

And also the voice recognition is not working in any app except the "ok google" app.

Please help!

Which phone do you have? Do you remember how you did this? Did you Clear Data from the launcher app in the Settings>Apps menu? If that's the case, you can't restore the setup, unless you're running a 3rd party launcher (like Nova) that has a backup feature. But the homescreens are easy to set back up -- you wouldn't have deleted any actual data or apps.

Yes. Settings > apps > google app.

Yea I'm pretty sure nothing was actually deleted but it's such a pain to put everything back and start remembering what was where.

I didn't know the Google App stores the set-up for the home screen, user interface, links, and shortcuts.

That's why I always make screenshots of all my screens.

Which phone do you have? The Google app itself should not have launcher data -- that would be whatever launcher your phone uses (or whatever 3rd party launcher you might have installed). The name of the stock launcher depends on the phone, but it won't be just plain "Google." Are you sure you didn't choose "Google Now Launcher"?
