I have the Samsung Galaxy S2, when I switched it on today a message comes up process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher, force close and several other similar messages. I am unable to access any menus or get rid of the message. Vodafone suggested, volumne up, home key and power key together to reboot but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
 
I had a similar message whenever I tried installing an app from the Market. I had to uninstall back to the previous version.

What you can try is go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All
Scroll down to twlauncher
Press the Clear Data button

Then see what happens.
If this doesnt solve, you could also try pressing Clear Defaults.

Also, if this has been upgraded, you may also see an Uninstall to previous version button (or at least something similar) If you have this, try this one as the last resort.
 
There is a safe mode you can go into but i'm not sure how to do it. I did it once by accident.
Only other thing I can think of doing is a reset. Power off the phone then hold power key, home key and volume up key until you get the galaxy s 2 logo. This should boot into android recovery. Go down to wipe data using volume down key. Select using home key and this will wipe your phone.

He cant access any menus.

EDIT- Ok figured how to get into safe mode. power off the phone then power it on and when you see the galaxy s 2 logo keep pressing the menu key (left hand soft key) repeatedly very fast until you get to your home screen. If you have done it right it will say safe mode in the bottom left corner. Now press Menu>settings>applications>manage applications> press the "all" tab scroll down to TwLanucher then press clear data. Reboot the phone and see if it worked.
