The WhatsApp version in the Amazon App Store is much too old. So I've installed the newest WhatsApp .apk by myself by using the APK Downloader.
But now the app icon isn't between all the others apps. It's not there.
Double tap on the home buttons shows me that WhatsApp is running. Also it's in the carousel. But not in the list of all the other apps.
I had this once as I've did it in the same way with the Facebook app. But after a second installation of the .apk the icon showed up. But not this time
Can anybody help me please?
Same here..it appears on other launchers but theres no number near the icon for unread messages..also on the amazon app store whatsapp it told to update within 30 days..huh

If you delete the app from your Amazon cloud apps and re-install WhatsApp from Google Play, the app's icon should also be installed.
Thanks..it worked but the number if messages that appear near the icon arent there still

Hey Guys and Gals of XDA,
Kinda wondering if anyone has come across an app that will change how android handles when we get a new gmail email.
Currently when you get a new email you get a notification in the drawer.. Im looking for an app to change that. I dont want any notification in the drawer. I just want an unread email number to show up on the icon on the home screen. SMS message app does this when you get a new message.
If anyone has any known apps or wants to develop one id be full game..
Thanks
That is not possible for the time being. It used to be, but then GMail removed the API that allowed this (for security reasons)

We will have to wait until GMail offers this through some other type of functionality.

Use the plug in for Go Launcher (Go Notifications), of course, implies that you have to use Go Launcher, but it's a very good launcher.

The same problem I mention affects Go Launcher too (as well as any other apps that used to provide unread count)

-------Important--------
The Gmail app has updated to new version and the API we uses to access your Gmail in our Notification app is being removed in Gmail.
We will continue support Gmail notification if your Gmail app doesn’t update to the newest version. But once your Gmail is updated, the notification option will be removed from GO Launcher.

So, this is a gmail thing, don't upgrade to the latest version or downgrade to the previous version. I haven't upgraded to the latest version, my notifications show up.
Just upgraded to a new sprint gs3. Went to add facebook to accounts and checked the play store first, it says facebook is installed. Cool, but I'm not sure if that came from Sprint or from the automatic app download that happens when you add an existing account. Any way, all is cool, except the fact that facebook doesn't show up in the list of apps so I can put a shortcut on a home screen.
Has anyone else seen this? Am I missing something? In the store, there's an option to uninstall, so I guess I could uninstall/reinstall, but I'd kind of like to understand what's going on before doing that.
Any ideas?
Problem solved. I was expecting the apps to be in alphabetical order in the app drawer and they aren't (facebook was on the last page). Sorry for the silly question.
When in the app drawer hit the menu button / view type then select alphabetical order

thanks - I remembered that about a half second after I realized the drawer wasn't in alphabetical order. Appreciate you going to the trouble to post the screen shot though!
Just read this article on android guys. There pre-release version of facebook home is available now.
Step 1. Uninstall Facebook and Facebook messenger if they are already installed. This is required coz the leaked build is running on test keys rather than release keys.
Step 2. Download 3 APKs:
Install all 3 APKs in no particular sequence using any File manager.
Step 3. Press home button and default to fAcebook Home launcher. You’ll be required to sign-in the first time.
Please be patient while Facebook loads your stream and photos during first launch.
Recommended: You can tinker with settings and play with options like making the Notification bar visible at all times or not. Even when its hidden, a downward gesture from top of the screen brings notification panel down.
EDIT: Other two files are too big to attach here

it seems FB blocked the this leaked app, it can't stream anymore, just black background.
Downloaded and installed, isn't working for me either. I get a black screen and the words:
"Find me on the builds page"

Facebook blocked the app server side. I'm afraid you can't use it anymore.

Hi,
This might be in the wrong place, I have just installed the ViperOne M8 mod and all is working fine. I've restored my phone so that all my old apps are on there, except the HTC Dot View app has disappeared.
I am getting notifications through my Dot View case, but I have no way of accessing themes. Google Play says that I have the app installed, but I can't find it anywhere. Can someone help?!
Thanks, and what a great forum. *Newbie!*

sorry i just didn't complete reading
No problem, yes clicking on that tells me that the app is installed, but i can't see it among my apps. Like i say, i've set it up in Viper so that extra notifications work but I can't see how I can get the themes to display without the App appearing on my phone...
I had to use titanium backup to remove the dot view app and then install it from the play store.
Hi guys,
I just got my g3 and something really strange happened.
I had the google folder on my homescreen and then deleted it, when i go into my apps i can't see the apps that were in that google folder.
I have to goto the playstore and open gmail from there. Is there any way i can get my icons back from the folder i deleted?
Just before anyone mentions, my apps aren't hidden. They're just gone
Those are just doors to your apps, you deleted the doors.
Just long press on your screen and a dialog will Pop up, go to apps and browse to the one you want, touch it and it should go to your screen.
Yup i know about that also...
I like to have a clean desktop...therefore i use the apps key all the time and access my apps from there.
Is there another way of getting my icons back to where all my other apps are?

Long press on any of them and the one you press will appear on the desktop page your on.. Your then free to long press and move, delete, edit the name etc.... At least with Nova launcher you can.
