[Q] Stupid Question.. I need help on

Stock Note 2.. up to date..
for some reason I cannot find my email Icon. I just started a new job and we have to use exchange. I set up the email account via Sync accounts..
Now here is the kicker.. I cannot find the EMAIL icon in any grid to place it on my home screen. I looked into Settings... App Manger.. All and there is an icon there for it. .But for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere to add it to my home screen for easy access..
Anyone know how to magically make the icon reappear on my phone with out having to do a wipe?

I assume you are on the TW stock launcher? If so, try this: touch and hold empty space on home screen... select "Apps and widgets".... under Apps tab, select "Email". There's also an Email widget on the Widgets tab
The widget works.. but I am just looking for the email Icon.. I cannot find that little guy any where..
Is it hidden or disabled

Go to your app drawer then tap your menu soft key. The show hidden apps is at the bottom of the list.
There are no apps currently hidden... it never showed up in the app drawer this way. ..

If you can set up your email and you have a widget that works I sure do not see how you could have lost your email icon. Did you tuck it away in a folder? Post screen shots of all your app drawer pages if you do not mind.
Here you go.

That is weird. The only odd thing I noticed was that you have two gallery icons. The only thing that looks like email appears to be Microsoft's icon. Are you running any icon packs.
Everything is stock. ..no packs what so ever.

If you're rooted, go to /system/app folder and see if you have "SecEmail.apk" or "SecExchange.apk". If you do, you can try reinstalling the apks. If not, you need them. Easy to root if you're not.
Not rooted.... still can't figure it out. .. The icon does show up for ways to share attschments etc. ..

Install a file explorer that will allow you to get to /system/apps then tap on your SecEmail.apk, you will have to enable unknown sources, it should try to install the email apk. I do not know for sure if it will install or not and it may not even help. Reset your security setting for unknown sources if you want afterwards if you like. I have heard that some Samsung apks cannot be installed after initial boot.
It starts the install...but it does not complete it. I have astro by the way.

[Q] Facebook Home

Is anyone else having problems installing Facebook home on their phone, because everyone says that you can install it on the galaxy note 2, but its not working on mine it says my phone isn't supported?
I'm having the same problem. Thought it was cos I have an N7105 not N7100 but I'm not sure.
Make sure you have updated Facebook app.
Then in the Facebook app, go to settings and check "enable Facebook home"
I tried it for a couple of hours then uninstalled it.
But when I installed it the first time, I made my Nova launcher the default launcher.
That left the facebook home only as a lock screen and nothing else.
I think that as a simple lock screen it works better

I am on PAC man ROM and from india. Looks like Facebook home is not yet available in india.. Market says " app not found" any fix please?

Weird,. I just made sure both Facebook app and Facebook messenger were latest version and then straight install. No problems at all.

Is your default launcher also missing items?

I first noticed it on my girlfriend's AT&T variant that she got on Friday. Hangouts is not in the app drawer. I noticed the same on my T-Mobile variant today. Also, the Google Music app is missing from the app drawer and I had to launch it by voice. Haven't had too much hands on time since I've been working all day, so I don't know what other apps are hidden, but has anyone else noticed this?
Also, going to hide/show apps from the app drawer still doesn't show these missing apps even though they're in installed. From the home screen, though, if I long press, I can add those apps - just not from the app drawer.

I am having the same problem as the OP. Maybe I am just blind but I do not see the Google folder in the app drawer. Just the one that is on the home screen.

App Icon Not Showing in App Drawer or App List

I have a really strange issue. I downloaded and installed the Cumberland Farms App (use it to pay for gas) and it does not show up in the app drawer or in my list of installed apps via settings. If I go to Google Play it shows it as installed and I have to open it from there. I use Nova but if I'm not using Nova it still doesn't show on my G4. Only via Google Play.
Here is what I tried so far.
(1) Reboot
(2) Uninstall/Reinstall
(3) Cleared Nova Launcher Data
Any other ideas? It's only this app, very weird.

why not search within nova? in the app menu, swipe down and a search bar will show up. you can then search for the app there. when you find it, hold it and drag it outside of the search box and above the screen to Edit. add it to the main app menu
