Hi, I have recently updated my samsung galaxy s6 to android 5.1.1, since updating, my launcher, apex pro isn't showing the icons within a folder on my home screen any more, its basically a folder that contained all my game apps.
I assume the issue was apex in someway maybe not being fully compataible with 5.1.1 but im not sure?
Th odd thing is, when i open tap the game folder, even though its all blank with no icons, they do seem to be there, but just invisible, if i tap where i know apps used to be in the folder, they do actually stop open, which is odd.
I have tried deleting the folder then doing a restore in apex but the same thing happens.
Also since updating to 5.1.1 some screens have also been a little laggy and my home screen was just black at one point and just showing the notification section / time but everything else was black and wouldn't go off, i had to restart phone to get it back to normal.
Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks
James

Hmmm...maybe Apex Launcher is not yet fully compatible with Android 5.1.1.

Hey everyone. Since im so used to the native folders on my Galaxy Nexus i decided to use Samsungs variant on this device. Im noticing what im guessing is a glitch however and wondered if someone could test.
If you open an app on the homescreen thats inside a folder, then hit the home button, is your keyboard open on the home screen as well as the folder? I have to close both each time i go back to the home screen if ive opened one of those apps.

I was able to duplicate this with thw TouchWiz launcher... doesnt happen with Nova launcher, which I find smoother.
Lame. Heres to waiting for CM10 hopefully.
Yep, happens sometimes with mine...
I have same issue, easiest work around is to click home button twice, it its an annoyance. Hopefully they will fix with an update soon.
So i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Paranoid Android 3.1 (March 1st build) and I also have Nova Launcher!
My home button used to always take me to the home screen! or main page! but randomly it keeps just opening recent apps! No matter what i do it just keeps opening recent apps i even went into nova launcher and assigned home to go to the home screen and still doesnt work! Any help or ideas!?
*EDIT
I just reset my phone and i think the problem seems to be Widget Locker which i used to replace my lockscreen, not 100% sure but it seems to be a bit buggy on 4.2 devices... it could even be some setting in it not 100% any help because this might happen again!?

That happened to me before even on CM10.1; I believe the feedback is sometimes unresponsively accurate.
But if you use Nova Launcher, you can manually take off "recent apps" and replace with "home". But, sometimes it thinks your quick press is a hold, haha. I just know reboot will quickly fix it... for now.

AGH it happened again! and ya i think it just keeps glitching and thinking that my quick press is a hold! oh well a quick reset every now and then cant be that annoying... Thanks for the input!
What kernal are you running? I've had this issue as well and have wondered if it's kernal related. The only thing I could do to remedy the problem was reboot the phone.

Rebooting the phone seems to always fix it, I was running the included kernel along with Nova launcher and would run into it after about a half day runtime
Hello
I bought my wife a Note 10.1 yesterday and when we had set-up her Google account we were greeted with a home screen like the one attached, having cleaned it up a little.
The problem initially appeared to be a form of a weather widget but it is persistent across all the screens, like the Google search bar or the App Drawer icon.
I noticed that the tablet came with ICS so I updated it to JB and it did that fine with no issues. However the weather "widget" (you can't actually select or remove it) remains there stuck on the screen.
I spoke to Samsung and they remotely connected to my tablet but did not know how to resolve the issue.
I then installed Nova Launcher to test if it would then go and it did. But we would prefer, at this stage, to use the default Touchwiz launcher, minus the issue, if possible.
Whilst the Nova launcher was running I cleared the data from the Touchwiz application and then used that as the default launcher. It then placed all the default widgets back to the home screen, as it would when first used, but that weather "thing" still remains.
I can't see any weather or Accu weather type instances running so has anyone got any ideas please how to restore the Touchwiz type launcher to look as it should and not have that persistent non selectable weather thing on the desktop...?
Have you tried a factory reset?

Thanks for that
As I was not rooted. and thus could not access any system apps - in case I could have replaced the touchwiz app etc, I felt that I had little choice but to reset the tablet.
That worked...!!!!!
The good thing being is tha twe had not spent too long in building it up.!
My mother-in-law is technically challenged and has managed to screw up her J7 Prime. Somehow or another, she installed a widget named Email Home which is apparently a launcher which I've never heard of. It switched out all of her icons, rearranged her home screen, changed the way that settings are displayed, etc...
I've manged to disable it and get it uninstalled but I can't seem to get Touchwiz working properly again. It could be that the J7 Prime uses a little different launcher - my experience with Samsung is pretty well limited to the Note, but I figured the process would be pretty well the same. I go to settings, apps, default apps, home screen and the only thing that appears is "Samsung Experience". I can't find Touchwiz Home anywhere. Consequently, all of the icons on the phone appear to be ones that were installed with the Email Home widget. All of colors for the various settings screens are also off.
Am I doing something wrong here? She's running Oreo 8.1 on a Metro PCS J7 Prime.
Any help will be much appreciated.
TouchWiz is no longer the name of the Samsung roms, it's Samsung Experience. You shouldn't be having issues with the hardware because of the launcher. Try selecting the Samsung Experience for the home app and reboot the phone. If the problem persists you may need to factory reset the phone.

Thank you!
Via ADB, I uninstalled some of the bloatware (only the recommended/safe apps) from my brand new Poco X3 NFC. Now the lock-screen wallpaper stays the same, no matter which one I choose. (I already rebooted and shut down the device a couple of times, though.)
I can change the home screen wallpaper normally (using the Wallpaper icon at the bottom left, which appears after tap&hold on home screen), but if I choose to apply the change to both home&lock screens or to lock-screen only, nothing changes.
One interesting thing is that tapping on "Wallpapers" in Settings doesn't do anything anymore.
Any idea about what could have gone wrong?
Did you solve this? the problem is definitely with removing some Xiaomie app, but which one and how can we get it back?

I had this a few year ago when I changed the launcher. MIUI wouldn't allow me to change the lock screen wallpaper when I used Nova Launcher
I guess it was Nova Launcher then, I think I was experimenting with it as well. But I don't have this phone anymore, though.
I too had the same situation until I reinstall the com.miui.miwallpaper package.
PS: The apk from the sites were not working for me so I got it via my friend who has a Redmi Note 10 Pro.
