    hello!!! how are they?
    it happens that with my samsung S5 it does not have the launcher that is in the system, it seems to me that it was deleted because when I got it I had another launcher that does not come from the factory, the cell phone is rooted and I wanted to give it more memory by deleting apps that I do not use and my doubt is if I deleted something, and I can't go back to "home" when I press it... please help me to restore that. Thank you.
    Ahhh!! And I've tried a factory reset. but no improvements.
