Root I think I broke it

First of all its a MetroPCS Ascend

I had launcherpro free edition on it after rooted, and accidentally made it default then uninstalled launcherpro. I know...stupid n00b idea, but its done now.

Did a factory reset and original canvas wont come up. As a matter of fact, no launcher is there, so I cant do anything but sit around wit ha black screen and wait for notifications. Everything works (call, text, anything that pops up with a notification will then run no problem), there is just no launcher. Is there any way to fix this?

thank you in advance for help.

Go to Joser116 profile,read his threads and posts from the last week or two,he had a remedy to fix that,easy enough to follow,just too much to repeat right here,I'm on my phone & not a computer right now.:)
 
@ Everyone FOR THE FUTURE

All because you make something default doesn't mean it's stuck that way, if you would of went into settings/applications/ Manage applications, and clicked on LP, and pressed " clear defaults ", you would of had the option to use Canvas again
 
NY i did try that initially and got nothing...i have it all fixed now as I am fairly tech savvy. I ended up doing a fastboot flash to stock then just reinstall z4root and titanium and restored everything. My contacts were backed up on my previous phone as I just got this one recently....nothing to difficult.

Took me a while to find this, so here is the flash to stock if anyone needs it for both metro and cricket
