Messaging Icon Disappears - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hello, yesterday my wife was changing themes on her P8 with EMUI 4.0, then she notice the messages icon has disappear and we can't find the icon anywhere. She only can view or send sms when she receive one, because we cannot find the application anywhere or even make a shortcut.
There's anyway to solve this? Probably i'll make a backup and make a factory reset.

Hello,
Maybe she hides the application. If you zoom in the launcher, a menu called "Hidden Applications" will appear. It can be here.

Didn't work, the icon just disappears. Tomorrow i'll make a reset, but it's a strange bug.
Thanks

i have the same problem anyone fonud a solution maybe?
cheers

Guys it works, on the main menu zoom it as you usually do with the photos and a New menu appear, in there you can add or remove the icons you wan to hide or to show. Mine was there.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago after changing some app permissions &/or screen layout - the default messaging & camera shortcuts/icons disappeared.
The only thing that worked for me:
Settings > Apps > Menu (near bottom right) > Show system processes (latter step is key)
Then 'Huawei Home' (launcher) became visible in the list - accessed it > Storage > cleared data & cleared cache
The missing app icons were immediately restored, & to their original positions (i.e. to when the phone was purchased).

All Settings Icons on Star Menu..

Hi everyone,
1st thread I startup.. I have the TMOUS HTC HD2.. While messing around with the phone I came upon the following.. It's a hassle to have to go to Settings then click on All Settings to try and get to Remove Programs, Bluetooth, Today Etc..
Here is a neat trick to have the All Settings Icons on your Start Menu.
1. Go to Settings/All Settings
2. Click and hold the Icon you want.
3. Select Move to top.. the icon remains in its original location..
Now go to your Start Menu and the Icon you had clicked on will now appear here!!
I included Images for better illustration on before and after, you can see i moved the Bluetooth Icon over. You can also delete the copied Icon from the Start Menu by simply holding it and selecting Move Down. It will not be deleted from the All Settings screen.
This is not that big of a deal but I figured it might make it easier for others as it does for me..

TouchWiz - re-order applications?

Within the applications panes of TouchWiz(3), is there a way to re-order application icons alphabetically if you have manually ordered them whilst in edit mode?
Display them as a list. The list is shown A-Z I believe. Or use ADW.Launcher instead as I do.
I take that's a no then...
inside the apps menu, press the menu button then select edit.
now u can sort them the way u want "hold on the icon u wanna move till it come up then move it"
to move the icon to a different page, while holding it, drag it to the edge of the page, and it will automatically jump to the next screen
This is what I do in the launcher port:
Settings > Application > Manage Applications > (Filter All) > choose Twlauncher > Clear Data
When you return to the launcher it will re-cache data and present the app drawer alphabetically. Downside is you lose all saved homescreen icons and widgets.
kenshinta, that did it, thanks for that.
To the others, yep, I know how to move the icons around, I was after a way to reset them to alphabetical. The clear data tip did it, reset the launcher to default.
good tip kenshinta thanks!

up until this post i have hated touchwiz, now i i can change the 4 at the bottom!!! this is amazing
Or alternatively you can use gtg465's modded launcher. The downside is you lose the number in the message, emails and the Samsung app market.

Where can I see the default settings?

Hello,
Where can I see the default settings of my phone? And where to see the defaults of pull down bar (swipe down from top and the buttons to on/off items will appear)?
I mean I wish to see what are the defaults, is there a list somewhere?
I am using Samsung Galaxy S4.
For example defaults:
My device>Display>Auto-rotate screen is ticked.
My device>LED indicator>Charging is ticked.
Pull down bar (swipe down from top), Sync is selected.
The problem is a kid played with my phone for a few hours, and I did not know what settings he changed. I am not sure what are the defaults too, some settings might have been turn off/on by him.
Thanks

Settings tabbed view

Hi.. can someone help me. My settings view suddenly changed to tabbed view, like attached picture.
First i think it's an xposed module causing it, but i uninstalled xposed but still the same.
I cleared the setting app data, but still same.
I long pressed recent to show menu, but no menu is shown, suppose there's menu to switch to list view.
Please help. It's really ugly. Thanks.

TIP: Alphabetize apps on stock EMUI launcher

If you are sticking with the default/stock EMUI launcher, there are 2 ways to alphabetize your app list. Yes, you can just install a new launcher but personally I prefer using the stock launchers. I enjoy using all manufacturer launchers (touchwiz, sense, etc.) as I get to know the characteristics of one brand from another.
1) Hit "Settings", "Home screen style" , then select ""Drawer". This will enable an app drawer icon on your home screen and all the apps are automatically sorted in alphabetical order.
2) If you want to stick with the "Standard" layout without the app drawer icon (similar to iOS), there is no option in the settings to sort the apps in alphabetical order. Manually moving around the icons is such a mess. However, there is a workaround to this:
Hit "Settings", scroll down and hit "Apps", hit "More" and hit "Show system processes".
Scroll down and hit "Huawei Home", hit "Storage" and hit "CLEAR DATA" and "CLEAR CACHE".
That's it. When you press home your apps will be in alphabetical order. However, you will have to repeat this process every time you install/uninstall apps.
Clearing data not working
Hi,
Thank you for publishing this tip, but clearing Huawei Home data and cache didn't work on my Huawei P20 with Android 8.1. Icons haven't been alphabetized, they were just moved to fill the empty spaces between them. Moreover, this has completely destroyed all my folders!
Do you have a trick that would work with Android 8.1, or Android 9 to which I can update ?
Thanks in advance!
Do not try...
This does Not work at all. In fact clear data resets your entire home screen, folders, layout and settings.
Now it's time to go through 240 apps and reorganise :silly:
