Recently I've noticed that after some of my apps download and install they are installed to one of the homescreens instead of in the app drawer like they are supposed to be. When I go to then install the app on a homescreen (silent toggle widget) and the procedure takes me to the home app drawer after a long press on an empty space on a homescreen I cannot select the app because it is not in there. No other way to select the app because I can't select an app from a home screen.
Not related to JB upgrade cause it was happening from before the upgrade. Short of a factory reset is there anything I can do? Anyone got any ideas?
Hi Folks
Sometimes when some apps update from the play store their shortcuts disappear from the home screens (if I have paced one there), the app itself will still be present and correct in the app drawer, but there are empty spaces on the home screen where their shortcut was before the app was updated.
Their seems to be no rhyme or reason to when or which apps have there shortcuts removed. Some will go several updates with no change then suddenly they're gone, others do it every time they update and some never do it.
Is there a reason for this behavior? Is there a way to prevent it or at least understand when it will happen?
Sometimes I don't realise the shortcut is missing until sometime after several app updates and then I'm flicking through my home-screens and there is a blank where there shouldn't be and I'm wondering what app I had there...
This is with a stock HOX with the most recent android/sense.
Thanks
As far as I know it should not remove the icons from the Home screen if the app is just updating. It's possible some update actually remove the original application and install the new update such cases it may remove the shortcut from the Home screen since there is an uninstall process happening after the installation.
pressing and holding the home button on the Note 2 will bring up the Task Manager and Recent Apps, a list of your last used apps appears, including a view of last used apps,
Is there a way to hide the mini view of the used apps?,
In Note 1 with gingerbread, the list of recent apps, only shows the icon of the used apps, but with Jelly Bean, appear a mini view of the used apps,
i want to hide the mini view of the apps, or well, only the icons like GB,
is there a way to do that? I'm on stock TouchWiz with JB 4.1.2

Just swipe away the ones you don't want to show.
Also I think in developer options somewhere these is a setting to kill the app immediately upon exit of you want to try that route.
Hi,
I only see Google Now and QMEMO icons on my LG-D885 but I've seen screens where there's the voice app and another on it.
Can I add options to it somehow?
have you disabled or frozen the voice app?

Nope, I'm rooted but I've not used titanium or xposed/xposed apps as yet for tweaking etc.I did flash a new build of firmware (10f) and can't recall if the other apps were showing in the swipe menu prior.
It's no big deal, just a curiosity. I don't even use the apps that are missing either.
Basically my app drawer is now empty and I cant figure why... Google settings app is the only exception.
The rest of my apps do not show yet they are still in application manager and all work fine
- I have checked through Nova settings, restarted and reinstalled did nothing.
- I then found that even after defrosting Touchwiz, the TW app drawer was also empty.
- I then reinstalled Google Play & Services but still the app drawer doesn't show any of my apps.
