Why disabled and reenabled apps don't appear on Menu?? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why once disabled and reenabled apps don't appear on Menu??

Reboot?

As above and clear the app cache or just global cache in "storage" menu.

Reboot doesn't work.
I have no idea what is global cache in storage menu.

Settings -> Storage -> Cache (click it) and choose to clear all cache. Will not remove user data just apps cache. Might be the launcher also needs to rebuild it's cache. Is it stock launcher or third party?

I seriously don't have a clue what you're talking about.
I don't have an english language device so what is storage for you?
Memory with an SD card icon?
If it's this I have no idea where the cache is. I don't see it.
Edit:
You mean clear the cache where all the memory parts are listed.
Ok, I see.
But no it doesn't help.
Stock launcher. I've had Backup&Restore on the app tray, now it's gone.
It's still in the settings as well as Xperia Transfer Mobile.
And this XperiaTransfer mobile is not on the app tray either, however I can see it under Settings -> Apps.
And also Play Store sees it as installed, but when I hit Open it leads to the Play Store page of the app.
Sh...t I would say.

Yes the SD card icon. There you see how much memory different kind of data takes like photos, apps and so on. You will see 7 info lines. The 6th one is the "Cached data". Tap it and it will ask if you want to clear the cache. If it's not there then Sony has removed it for some reason but it should be standard on Lollipop.
Edit:
Aha hmm seems strange. I have no more ideas.. but take a look at this help article regarding missing icons.

Got the same issue here and last update didn't fix it unfortunately.. Haven't been able to restore weather app. I tried all of that above already. I wish I could use Titanium backup so much! Damn you Sony

cache managent

Ok I'm not gonna root this for a while so I can download cachemate, one of my favorite apps. What is the best way now to clear out all the cache quickly and effectively. I really don't want to go down my app list and do each one , one at a time
Take a look at Settings >storage you will see an option make more space.

Multipicture Live Wallpaper help

Does anyone know how to delete the individual screens?
I would be interested in this, too. I have in the past just uninstall and reinstall but its a pain. Clearing the data in apps setting might be easier. Will have to try that.
Doesn't look like this was answered but to confirm, clearing the data in the application manager resets the individual screens
I Just find a way to delete it, you have to go to manage app and clear data.... that will clear all setting from that app, so you can set the new ones you want...
I hope that work for you guys, cuz it worked for me.
:good:

[Q] Icons on App Drawer are mixed up after REBOOT

Hi!
I used the default launcher of our XL..
On my home screen, I made 5 Folders for Web, Social, Games, Misc, and Japanese Language apps..
And I put at least 3 apps on every folder..
On my app drawer, I made folders for Google,Utilities, Games,Desktop, Sony, and Camera apps..And some individual apps like MX Player, recorder, calcu, ES file explorer, settings, TiBackUp, Speed Test and Greenify..
After every reboot of my phone, some of the icons(specially the user installed apps) are not on their folders on the home screen I made and have been lined up again on the app drawer.. Did some users experienced the same thing?any suggestions??
Thanks..

try to clear data of "Xperia Home".
You will lose all customize setting on homescreen.
Make again 5 folders and see if that works?
I am also trying to figure out exactly what reason that could be.
Has anyone ever figured out what causes it or how to fix the situation? I have the same issue with my Xperia Z1. App Drawer folders just disappear on reboot, sending the contained apps all over the drawer.
Tried both things (App Data Reset and specifically deleting data of Xperia Home) to no avail.
Move all apps from internal sd to phone, this will solve most issues. It's the same with modified icons & names in custom launchers when the apps are on the internal sd. It's because these apps are loaded after the launcher loads.

Google Experience Launcher - Clear data & cache options disabled

Hi all.
I am pretty surprised not to find any comments on that around the internets, so here it goes. I want to restore my stock launcher to its default form, sort of like doing a 'factory reset'.
Previous to Android 4.4, this was possible by simply visiting the Android Launcher app in Settings, and clearing Cache and Data. However, now with the Experience Launcher those options are disabled. Big deal you might say, as one can tidy up their homescreen manually; still, that was the fastest and cleanest way to do it and I am curious why things have changed in the new version.
PS: Another observation - when installing a 3rd party launcher, the Home option is added in Settings > Device to allow users quickly selecting their current launcher. After uninstalling all 3rd party launchers, the option remains there. It's like Developer options; once enabled, you cannot go back.
The Google Experience Launcher is a part of the Google Search app now. That's the data you need to clear, not the Launcher app
Thanks for the clarification.

[Q] Xperia L Gallery Missing

Hi!!
Suddenly the Gallery app was missing. Not only the icon, the app.
I was checking, and it´s probably that Some Clean Program has erased it.
Now is only the Album App on it.
I couldn´t find the apk to reinstall. Found some, but all with spam... so there were modificated...
Is there anyway to reinstall without the factory reset?
Thanks!!

Factory reset won't help. On what ROM/firmware are you?
Android: 4.2.2
Compilación: 15.3.A.1.14
Not rooted. Not flashed. Only stock.
Thanks.
Then you can't have removed a system app. You could only have turned it off. Go to Settings > Apps > All > scroll down to the bottom of that list and then you see all the apps that are disabled (if any) and then you can restore them.
But I don't think there's a gallery app in stock sony firmware, because the Album app replaces it.

I did that... and now again. Only disabled some G+, wich is showing as disabled correctly.
But Gallery is not there.
And Gallery came with stock... maybe in it was installed for any reason. When I bought the cell, came with Android 4.1. Then update by it self.
Could be in a new firmware / update, the Gallery was deleted?
As far as I know, there's no app named GALLERY in Xperia L. The default app is named Album. So look for Album and not Gallery in the application list.
Also you're not rooted so its not possible that the app was deleted. You should search for app called Album and clear its cache and data. Hope this works
Also, in this case I believe factory reset will work.

Google Plus has a gallery-like app bundled within. Try enabling that app and then update it to the latest version. You can also disable it again later
Well, I have checked again as you recommend, and still can´t find the gallery app.
Also I enabled G+, but the icon Gallery is still missing...
But! always there is a But... I checked the G+ Photo Gallery, and looks pretty similar... is not the same, but very similar.
And in that moment, I remembered with gallery, there was some config to upload / syncronize with G+
So probably the G+ has changed, Or when I disabled G+ something stop and never came back again.
Some things are a mistery too. Maybe this is one of them.
