Hello there iaragorn!
Welcome to AF!!
I move your thread here so the folks here can help out!
I am not familiar with your device, but is the LG Desktop a launcher?
As in, can you sideload another launcher?

Hey iaragorn!
I was thinking about this on the way to work...don't know if it will work, but worth a try.
Turn your phone on.
Go to the Play Store on your computer, and find a Launcher like GoLauncher and choose "download to my device" (or something like that)
Wait a few minutes for it to hopefully download :)
It will download and install it on your phone.
Then try to press the home button to select GoLauncher as your launcher/

Hi,

problem is without launcher I am not able to do almost anything, even start google play.

But I finally found solution.

I found on internet lg desktop app (not the same version, which I had, but still better than nothing) and I send link to my phone via sms.
Then I download it and install it. And then i was able to do almost everything, even the launcher was crashing all the time.

Now is everything back in normal.

Thank you
