Settings tabbed view - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi.. can someone help me. My settings view suddenly changed to tabbed view, like attached picture.
First i think it's an xposed module causing it, but i uninstalled xposed but still the same.
I cleared the setting app data, but still same.
I long pressed recent to show menu, but no menu is shown, suppose there's menu to switch to list view.
Please help. It's really ugly. Thanks.

Menu Disappearing in CM7

Is anyone else having an issue with CM7 where the right combination of gestures or touches while cause the menu bar to disappear? I have no idea how to reproduce it, or how to recover from it (short of a reboot) but it's happened at least 4 times i as many weeks.
Just curious if something is corrupt with my install or if it's a common issue.
If the bar is just invisible (the buttons still work, but there are no graphics), just rotate the screen and they should come back.
If you've touched the double-chevron button and the status bar went away, an app has requested fullscreen mode and the chevrons grant the request. Hit "home" to get somewhere that isn't fullscreen. You can pick an "un-hide" button and do other similar things in Settings/Tablet Tweaks, look for "Disable Fullscreen" and "Choose unhide button".
If neither of the above holds, your statusbar has crashed. There's an app that's supposed to bring it back, but that never worked properly for me. I have to reboot.
This hasn't happened to me in recent nightlies, but I'm not positive that the problem is really gone yet.

I've had the menu bar disappear while certain apps were open, preventing me from accessing the app menu and had to use the 'n' button to get out. To get around this I am using Button Savior.

That's my situation. The status bar / buttons disappear, so I hit the physical home button (the N as in Nook button), but the bar is still gone. This was happening on 7.0.3... i just installed 7.1 RC1 and haven't had it happen yet... we'll see.

Go to Settings/CyanogenMod settings/Tablet Tweaks, and check to see that you have the "Disable fullscreen" option checked. That prevents apps from overriding the status bar visibility. Additionally, you can setup an "unhide" button in case you accidentally hit the chevron or otherwise lose the Tablet Tweaks status bar.

Because you say "menu bar" and later on say you press the N button and they are still missing I believe you are talking about the ADW menu buttons (the launcher and apps buttons). If that is what you are referrinng to then you should go into ADW settings and uncheck the hidden taskbar option. By default it is checked.
can reproduce it on my EVO
I found out how to make the menu disappear, but cannot make it reappear.
I have an EVO 4G (original supersonic) and I am able to make the bottom home menu disappear using a downward swipe. I've done this accidentally quite a few times. (I'm referring to the Phone/Square/World Icons that launch the primary apps)
However, I do not know how to make it come back. I have been able to swipe randomly and get it to reappear, but I do not know what combination actually causes this.
The only way I know how to bring it back for sure, is a reboot. I wish I knew what that swipe combination was to restore the menu

By "Menu Bar", do you mean the the Dock where you can access the App Drawer?
If this is it, then you just have to swipe it up. But to just to warn you, it is "VERY HARD" to get the right swipe for it to show again. Trust me, I tried. Best solution would be to disable the "HIDE" Capability of the Dockbar by going into Settings>ADWLauncher>UI Settings Go down to Hidden Dockbar and disable Dockbar.

thanks thewaywardgeek013, that worked perfectly. It's almost impossible to find the right settings.

[Q] Force list view in settings

In the device settings on the G2 you have the four tabs on top of the screen when you're in the settings page.
If you hit menu, you can change it to list view. However this resets back to tab view every time you close it, then you have to hit menu again, and change to list view.
Is there any ay to change to list view permanently, or force it?
This is something that would be perfect to mod with Xposed in my mind if there isn't a native function for this.

Oh what really? Crap I always thought that it would save your preference.
At least it does that on the G Pro...if this is true then I'll definitely have to get the Verizon G2. Can't stand the sight of those ugly Crapwiz tabs.
It could just be mine not saying it properly. It does feel like something that should save.

Funny thing is I want tab view but it keeps reverting to list viee

Seriously?! Haha! But you're on a D802?! So there must be a setting somewhere. Or do you have an Xposed module that could be responsible?

It's must be your phone. That option working perfectly fine for me on stock(before) and Rayglobe ROM(since yesterday)
I'm running stock ROM with Xposed Framework, CWM Recovery. I'm rooted.
Is it possible that some Xposed module is causing this?
I'm finding it has something to do with which launcher you use... stock saves it, nova, google experience, etc. doesn't... looking for a fix, but haven't found one.
Switch to list view in stock launcher and choose do not show again ok. Then switch to other launcher of your choice.

Messaging Icon Disappears

Hello, yesterday my wife was changing themes on her P8 with EMUI 4.0, then she notice the messages icon has disappear and we can't find the icon anywhere. She only can view or send sms when she receive one, because we cannot find the application anywhere or even make a shortcut.
There's anyway to solve this? Probably i'll make a backup and make a factory reset.
Hello,
Maybe she hides the application. If you zoom in the launcher, a menu called "Hidden Applications" will appear. It can be here.
Didn't work, the icon just disappears. Tomorrow i'll make a reset, but it's a strange bug.
Thanks
i have the same problem anyone fonud a solution maybe?
cheers
Guys it works, on the main menu zoom it as you usually do with the photos and a New menu appear, in there you can add or remove the icons you wan to hide or to show. Mine was there.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago after changing some app permissions &/or screen layout - the default messaging & camera shortcuts/icons disappeared.
The only thing that worked for me:
Settings > Apps > Menu (near bottom right) > Show system processes (latter step is key)
Then 'Huawei Home' (launcher) became visible in the list - accessed it > Storage > cleared data & cleared cache
The missing app icons were immediately restored, & to their original positions (i.e. to when the phone was purchased).

Anyone who is using Titanium Backup Can you see Menu?

I cannot get to the menu on TIB on the phone. it doesn't show in either screen.
(can't get image attached for some reason)
But it is supposed to be in top right hand corner says Menu in overview screen, or the 3 vertical dots in other screens.
Anyone else notice this? any suggestions for a fix. I don't believe it's TiB issue cause only happens on this phone works just fine on my S6

It's like this for me as well. I used the menu button in Mipop to get to tibu's menu. I later used gravity box to map menu to a longpress of the back button. Hope this helps.

That could work, havn't used mipop at this point but this will be a good use for me thanks
Confirmed, same thing. Mapping long press recents to menu is an awesome fix, I was missing having a menu key anyway!
You can click problems in the TB screen, it will prompt you with preference option

if you have root i assume you know how to get xposed.
Once you have that, install this module and reboot, you should now have menu option in any app that doesn't show it currently.
I think, most of xposed user will install GravityBox and there is also a keymapping option and youre free, which key shall use an menue function. work fine with TB

It has a menu button it just doesn't show on this phone for some reason. I suspect DPI issue. But button remap works great since it works on any open app.

Apps not showing on home screen

Hey guys, I will try to find include as much info as I can. I have Google play loaded on the device. I tried to uninstall an app and the icon remained, trying to uninstall it again gives me a pop-up about the app files do not exsist. Ever since then if i install an app from either the play store or the Amazon app store they will not show up on the main screen. The apps are there and I can remove them via settings. I have tried a hard reset as well as reinstalling the initial app that caused the problem. When I do that the app icon works again but no new apps show up still. If I uninstall it again it does the same thing as the first time, the icon stays.
I was hoping there was something running in the background i can clear the data for or something to fix this. I do not know enough about it to tinker around with it. I have some stuff downloaded from Google play that i cannot backup. A factory reset will lose the data on those accounts so I am trying to avoid it.
If you have any suggestions I will gladly try them, thank you in advance for your help
Mine is doing the same today, I've uninstalled it but the icon remains on the screen. I've also tried others that I've installed from Google play, all behave the same.
Are new apps that you install showing up? I cannot get any new app to appear.

Same issue happening on my Fire HD 10. No newly downloaded apps showing on home screen, and icons for uninstalled apps are grayed out. Tried clearing the home screen cache, but no luck.

This might be somewhat related. Please try the following trick to see if it helps:
(1). Settings --> Apps & Games --> Manage All Applications
(2). Swipe left in order to display "ALL" applications and then scroll down to select the application named "Home Pages"
(3). Tap "CLEAR CACHE" and then "FORCE STOP"

Clearing the data and cache for the home screens did finally work for me! I had to reorganize all my apps on the home screen, but not a big deal.
huge thanks for that.

cant create folder shortcut
Sorry to wake this thread up, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to a folder on my sd card on the fire hd8 tablet for kids. I have downloaded many different file explorers, have used them to create a shortcut, they say the shortcut has been created and is on home screen, but the folder shortcut never shows up on the home screen. Any help please....
