I have a samsung galaxy mini which, after downloading the Android "WhatsApp" has stopped working and comes up with the message
"Sorry The application Samsung Home (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"Force close"
I have 'forced close' many times. Switched the phone off and back on many times and taken the battery out and put it back in a few times - i am at the end of my tether, bringing it back to the retailer isn't an option, for a couple reasons, pleas, anybody help me, im lost without my phone.
:(
 
try different launchers
try go launcher.
but i guess the error msg will still keep popping up. so you can try reflashing your firmware.
was it so ever since you bought the phone or you upgraded it?
 
I have the same problem, but its after that i install AppBrain, i had full shortcuts and then AppBrain tells me if I want a shortcut on my homepage, so i clicked on Continue and then it started to vibrates and pop-up. The same problem "Sorry The application Samsung Home (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I also uninstalled it, By holding the Home key and Task Manager, Package and then uninstalled. Doesn't work.
 
I resolved this problem, with :
1. Turn off the phone
2. Press and hold Home Button ( middle ) + power on for at least 10 seconds
3. Android System Recovery Mode Appear
4. There are 4 options

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

5. Move the options to " Wipe data / factory reset " using volume down ( - ) button and menu button to confirm, because the touchscreen doesn't work in reovery mode (Use the home to choose Yes)
6. After the process done, phone will reboot. (It if does not, Choose "reboot system now")

Go settings>applications>manage apps>select the "All" tab> go to twlauncher and force stop/clear cache

This worked for me and I haven't had that error come back in months now. Also saves the hassle of flashing.
 
I just having the same probs.but still can access internet.can receive sms,but cant reply.can make a call too.
but i'm still dont know how to solve the problem.
when trying to Press and hold Home Button ( middle ) + power on for at least 10 seconds..it doesnt appear this menu..how??

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
 
I too had same problem today but solved the problem by without wiping data/factory otherwise all your applications/data will be lost by following steps
Try to launch market application in phone and install "Go launcher" application from market and open the Go launcher then go to settings ->Applications->Manage Applications then select "Samsung Home" application and clear data

Alternatively if you able to open settings then you can performing above steps will resolve your issues

Hi,

I just encountered this error a few minutes ago, did some search and then went another but home screen related route. I didn't have to do a factory reset nor push install another app. I simply had to do the following:

1. Went to Settings -> Application settings -> Manage applications
2. Went to All tab
3. Opened Samsung Home
4. Cleared the data (this will reset your home screen back to its original settings)
5. Force stop the app (since it is in limbo)
6. Reset the phone

In my case, I think what happened was that I got tired of using the Facebook app I just installed minutes earlier so I tried to uninstall it but during the clicking of the negative button to uninstall the app, I think it tried to also add it in the Home screen. I actually got a hanging message that there was no more space for the icon which lost me because I was trying to uninstall it. Then I ended up getting this Home screen error.

Hope this helps others as well.

Looking forward to setting up a "new home" later...
