[Q] Stock Gallery not launching, cannot be found in app drawer! - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So the gallery app has gone missing and it wont open when I go to camera and press the shortcut in the bottom left. I also can't find it in the app drawer. I looked in the disable apps but its not their. I have some Samsung bloat frozen but I unfroze everything and it still does not show up.
I tried freezing the gallery app in titanium-backup, and then it showed up in disabled apps, so I enabled it, but it can't be found in the app drawer either. I'm sure its not there, I checked every folder and page twice. The only places it shows up in are the app manager and TiBu. I can only clear data and cache but that does help.
When I try opening gallery through camera, nothing happens, not even a force close message. I get by with quickpic but quickpic crashes when i try to open sms images sent by text so I need to get gallery working.

Weather widget -> updating -> force close

Whenever i go to the page where my weather widget is on, i see udpating, and then my Sense crashes, the message with force close on it, i wiped, reinstalled but nothing works, any ideas? Im on 2.8.
Fixed it: go to applications, reset everything that has to do with weather, force close, clear cache, every button you can click, then go to the widget , it will say to tap it, add location and let it reload and it will work. but every reboot you have to do the same thing, so is there a way i dont have to redo this every time?

[Q] Icon disappears from homescreen after installing new app?

After I download a new app from the market, when I return to my homescreen, the phone shortcut disappears from the far left position in my dock...its just blank, and then I have to drag the phone icon from my app drawer to get it back.
Anyone else seeing this??
I'm on LTE version with 4.0.2...
Still seeing this issue. Just installed the XDA premium app, and my camera app disappeared from my home screen.
Really, no one else is seeing this ???

[Q] Blank App Icon + File Folder Crashes

Within a file folder, I have a blank spot where an app icon used to be before I uninstalled it. Normally, the icons resort themselves. In some cases it doesn't. In this case, whenever I try to move another app icon to the blank spot, or anywhere else, Touchwiz crashes. Rebooting does not help.
Has anyone experienced this?

Pixel launcher app info

Occasionally I'll have a problem where the "app info" does not appear at the top of the launcher while dragging apps around. It will be there one day, and the next it won't. I've attached pictures of my options when long holding an app.
This sucks when a app isn't responding and swiping it away doesn't close it. Instead of just long holding it and dragging it to app info, I have to open app drawer, go-to settings, go-to apps, find the app, then hit force close.
Is there some setting I accidentally enable and disable occasionally? Using official pixel launcher.
I noticed this too -- I went to developer options, turned the main switch off, and back on, and the rebooted. My "App Info" drag option came back.

Error - 3 apps kept open for quick launching

I am experiencing an error when I lock only one app and it thinks I have locked three. I hit the Close All button to clear out all apps except for the ones I have locked open, but only one remains. After one app is locked the a notification appears at the bottom of the screen stating "3 apps kept open for quick launching" and the "Keep open for quick launching" option is grayed out.

Is there any place to find apps that I have locked open? Or maybe just unlock all apps and start over?

Since today I'm having the exact same issue on my Galaxy S10. In my case I think it happened because I already had 2 apps locked in One UI 2.1. After installing the new update for One UI 2.5, the 2 locked apps (WhatsApp and Instagram) disappeared from the Recent Apps list. I can re-lock WhatsApp and Instagram, or any other app for that matter, but when I want to lock a second app, it's grayed out. I've tried rebooting, shutdown for approx. 1 minute, cleaning cache and memory with several different apps, nothing seems to fix it. If a factory reset appears to be the only solution, I'll let it be for what it is now. It -is- annoying though.
(I have a non-rooted device, so my options are limited)

I just tried this with Instagram and Whatsapp, didn't work either. I even deleted the whole Instagram app (including leftovers) and re-installed the app. Still the option "Keep open for quick launching" is grayed out. Not only with the Instagram app, but with other apps too. The only app I have pinned at this very moment, is WhatsApp. If I unpin WhatsApp, it does let me pin another app, but just 1. The second app I want to pin, is then grayed out again. (I can make screenshots or a screenrecord if you'd like to get a better look at the problem)
Need 12GB RAM or over for three and need 16GB and over for 5.
