So I accidently drug an app to replace my app drawer and now I can't figure out how to get the app drawer back. How do I get my app drawer back?
Thanks in advance.

Touch and hold in a open space on homepage, choose top alternetive, then open/close app drawer. Then drag it where you want.
so I installed the latest update for TiBu, and I performed a system backup. after completion, my wallpaper reverted back to stock, and when I try to change it by long pressing on the home screen and selecting wallpapers, I get an error message saying that the "app is not installed".
I also tried going into the gallery app, selecting a picture, and choosing "set picture as", the app force closes.
I tried using the stock launcher and the holo launcher, but to no avail. I was on the modded framework.apk, but even after reverting back to the original framework (and disabling LMT), I still cannot change my wallpaper. I'm wondering if TiBu had anything to do with it?
Is there an app that actually applies a wallpaper?
thanks!
Zedge allows you to apply then from within the app

Good idea. I was able to get it to work via picasa tool app.
Still odd that I could no longer do it from the home screen.

weird, so this happened again! I performed a system data backup via TiBu, and the phone's wallpaper went back to stock - still cannot long press to change the wallpaper (or change it via gallery).
my only work around is to upload a pic to my picasa album, and then set it from there.
has anyone had this issue? I'm guessing I'm missing some app?

This sounds like one heck of an obnoxious hassle. Are you using a stock launcher? If not, each launcher has their gestures and such for what long pressing the screen would do. I'm assuming you're using the stock launcher but if not, check the gestures on the custom launcher.

i'm using holo launcher, but this occurs on both holo and stock. perhaps I need to install another launcher....
Are there any apps that will let me open up 1 app when it looks like another? For example if I put the messaging app on my home screen can I press it and make it actually open the email app instead?

Nova launcher....can change app icons. Not sure what you really are trying to do though.

Well the problem is when you move the apps to the sd card..if you reboot they drop out of any folders you have on the homescreen. So I was trying to have a system app, change the icon and name and have it open an sd card app so it remains on a reboot. Was just a theory I wanted to see if it works as a workaround for the apps dropping out after a reboot

Pretty sure it would be impossible. The icons are like shortcuts in windows. A pretty little graphic that calls a command (in this case am) to open the app. The reason it drops is the OS is attempting to be smart and since it can't find the app on boot (sdcard has to be mounted first) is drops the shortcut.
Only suggestion is try a widget that lets you make shortcuts.
Edit
Or try a shortcut app like

I found a semi decent workaround ..in Nova Launcher there's a swipe action feature when you can set an app to open a different app when you swipe it vs pressing it. So I took a non sd app, changed the icon to the icon of the app I wanted to open and changed the name to the app I wanted to open..then added a "-s" after it so I know it's a swipe action app. Not bad..

So I was holding my phone and I could tell that it accidentally turned on and was doing things. When I looked down to turn it off I noticed that the app launcher icon at the very bottom of my homepage is missing. I have no clue how to get it back and can't figure out a way to access all my apps.
Does anyone know how to get the icon back?
Thanks.

Has anyone noticed that some of your paid apps are missing from the app drawer? The only way I can find some of them is to go into the Play Store and search for the app and open it that way. It shows as being installed but doesn't show in the app drawer. They aren't disabled and hidden because of that. I noticed this problem both before and after rooting. I'm still using the stock launcher though. Perhaps they would show up in Nova Prime?

I finally got my apps to appear. In the app drawer hit the menu button. Click on Hide/Show apps. Hide the app that is hidden already but not shown being hidden. Go to the home screen and then back into the app drawer and Hide/Show apps. Uncheck the hidden apps and they'll magically appear in your app drawer.
