Workspace Folder gone after Pie update - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
Since updating to Pie, I've noticed the Workspace folder (believe it's Knox) has disappeared, stopping me from accessing apps that are in my Work Profile (specified by company MDM).
If I revert back to Touch Wiz launcher, I can see the apps by switching to "Work" at the bottom of the app launcher, however when using other launchers, the Workspace folder is missing.
Does anyone have any methods of bringing the folder back?
Thanks for reading!

Same issue with my Note 8. Haven't found a way to bring back the dedicated folder that was present in Oreo, so I ended up creating my own folder and putting my work apps in there. As long as "Use One Lock" is enabled in your Work settings, you shouldn't have an issue accessing your apps. FYI I use Nova Launcher.

[Q] !!Urgent!!Need Help.launcherpro crashing on start..ned to go to seeting to reset

hello ,
can somebody please help ..I am using CM7 AmeriCanAndroid 051211 build and it happened may be due to my fault that i used the old data.img from the previous version. i set my launcher pro as default and it started crashing . I need to set it back to AWD Laucher so that i can atleast get the options to work on the problem.
The launcher pro is crashing but I am sure AWD launcher will work fine .. Please let me know a way to either go the the settings menu or any way where i can atleast start my phone.
download this
install it with droid exploer
press your home buttom
select awd
update it.
done.
thank-you much...
for future reference when something like this happens, you go into settings/applications/manage applications and search for the app you set to default, or the launcher app, open it and clear defaults, then in your case you press the home button and it will ask you again which launcher you want to use, and you could've selected AWD launcher.
so what if you can't access the phon's settings sincs everything just keeps crashing?
as a last ditch, you can boot to recovery and format the data partition. that has all of your settings so, you will have to go through the first run setup, but that should fix your problem if it's just a setting issue.
good luck.

Setting ADW Launcher EX as default Launcher KFHD 8.9

After some messing around, I was able to get ADW Launcher EX as my default Home button launcher on my rooted Kindle Fire HD 8.9. :victory:
As usual, the normal disclaimers of modifying your system and potentially bricking it apply.
Previously, I had been using GO Launcher HD as my default launcher to replace the Kindle carousel, using the method of moving the launcher APK to the /system/app directory and setting permissions of the APK using a file manager to User Read/Write/-, Group read/-/-, Others read/-/-, and then rebooting. Unfortunately, this method does not work for ADW Launcher EX. Using the GO Launcher method for ADW Launcher results in a boot loop where ADW immediately crashes with error messages that it has stopped.
If you do find yourself in this kind of boot loop, you can make your way out by navigating to the Search icon, which will bypass the launcher and open the Search application; search for your file manager, like ES File Explorer, and open it so you can get back into your root directory and uninstall the ADW launcher from /system/app. Once that's done, reboot and you'll be back to the regular launcher.
To use ADW Launcher EX as the default launcher, you will need:
Root
Titanium Backup Pro
1. Install ADW Launcher EX as you would any other app.
2. Launch ADW Launcher EX at least once
3. Go into Titanium Backup Pro, find ADW Launcher in the list, long press, and select "Covert to system app"
4. Pressing the Home button should immediately present you with the option to select a launcher. Select ADW and set is as default.
5. Test and reboot.
6. Enjoy your speedy new launcher
This method should work for other versions of ADW, but for all intents and purposes, I have only tried this on ADW Launcher EX. If others have tried with other versions or launchers, please do chime in.
One strange thing that I did notice after doing this was that Titanium Backup Pro, when relaunched, was hanging while "checking for root priveleges". To remedy, I had to go into SuperSU and "Forget" Titanium Backup Pro. After doing that, I rebooted, and granted Titanium Backup Pro root rights and was off on my merry way. I'm not too sure why it happened.
I'm also not entirely sure what Titanium Backup Pro does with "Covert to system app" that makes it work, vs the GO Launcher method of manually moving the apk and changing permissions. If someone can enlighten me on this, it can go a long way in providing modders way of doing this for free, without requiring Titanium Backup + Pro license key (albeit I strongly recommend it, as the Pro features are very useful).
Thank You!
Thank you so much! I have been searching the internet for the last several days trying to find a solution to this. Among a dozen other attempts, I also tried nearly exactly as you suggested, but with one difference. I used my .apk file that I backed up of the app on Titanium, sent to a folder on my computer, then loaded onto my Kindle HD. No go. I just deleted it, and loaded it back on a you suggested. Simply through the Google Play store. Voila! It worked loading it like a regular Google Play app! LOL!
THANK YOU!:good::good::good:
Thanks for the tip. Anyone figure out how to add widgets?
It's simply a matter of installing the widget apk into /system/app and setting permissions to user read/write/- and group and other to read/-/-
There is a thread in this forum with instructions and the apk but here is the one i have in my system/app directory

Yeah the solution was the wierdest thing. I think it has something to do with processes that happen on the initial run. I think between this method and the GO method, most launchers can be covered using either or
Thanks!
Thanks so much from me too. I've had my KFHD a couple of weeks. I liked ADW Launcher EX but it seemed a bit flaky falling back to the carousel each time you pressed the home button. Your method took about 2 minutes and makes my Fire look and feel like the real deal. I registered here just to share my thanks.
I also found that Titanium backup was the only method that worked. I tried this with Apex launcher myself and finally it worked with TB. I also made a video although the process is fairly simple. http://youtu.be/ebL6MOOzayk
Not sure what the OP did wrong, but I had no problem installing ADW Launcher EX as the default launcher by copying to /system/app as described here:

I also installed Go Launcher HD and EX. I only used ES File Explorer. I have the HD 8.9 with 8.4.3 firmware.

[Q] Apps screens - folders with Apps icons are emptied on reboot

Hey All,
we got 2 Note 3 (9005) at home - both are rooted with Vega method on stock MJ3 + wanam xposed
I've noticed that in the "Application Panel" (don't know the suitable name in english), when creating a folder to place the apps icons in it (one folder for all the rooted stuff for example), this is fine until next reboot.
Next reboot, is emptying the folders... so all "moved" icons are back with all the other applications. The folders remain but they are empty.
Anyone has this behavior as well ?
Note that this does not occur for Home screens... strangely, desktops folders remain with their shortcuts in them.
wondering if this is coming from MJ3
Cheers
it's because of bad rooting
what do you mean with "bad rooting" ?
Everything went fine when I rooted the device

question regarding freezing apps

can you freeze all the streaming apps (netflix e.t.c) or delete them via root? i don't need them and all they do is take up space with the limited memory it has already.
I don't believe you even need root for this, you can just go to the Android settings->apps menu, find each app you don't want and press disable.
This was one of the first things I did when I switched on my shield as I will never use Plex and cluttered menu entries annoy me!
dont delete most system/bloatware
Hi, I have the NSTV for almost a month & I crashed it the first day when I gain root, flashed TWRP, ect....so how did it crash?
Well after succesfully restarting the system & setting it up again! I started to delete the bloatware & I deleted most of the apps that I didn't want..until I installed my favorite keyboard app which takes less space & the first thing I did was delete the leanback keyboard......My NSTV was NOT happy as soon as I did that....intents of dialog messages flooded the screen & crashed it
so the next thing I did was boot into bootlooder & flash a recovery.zip with all the images..except stock recovery...I kept TWRP...after that I set my system back up installed link2sd again to delete the other bloatware, but this time I disabled leanback keyboard in favor of the other app....can you guess what happen next?
YES....it crashed again....so I decided to delete all the bloatware that I didn't want & kept leanback keyboard.
Now I decided to use a bluetooth keyboard from now on...but I wish the leanback keyboard will stop popping up even though im using an external keyboard...

that is highly annoying, so even though you have a 3rd party keyboard app installed the leanback keyboard popes up aswell? i use swift keyboard and usb keyborad additionally.

You can freeze the system apps such as all the bloatware you don't want without root, but to get rid of the apps permanentally you WILL need root...also my system stop crashing after installing some xposed modules that deal with input type....but anyway as long as you don't touch any actual system related apps you will be okay.

[Tutorial] How to install Google Play on H2OS 2.5 using OpenGapps

I was so happy that OP finally released H2OS 2.5, this one is probably the best ROM with custom UI, unlike MIUI or Flyme, it is still in Material Language. However, after a clean flash, I found it is not pre-installed entire google service and it doesn't work well with OpenGapps. Here is the tutorial.
Before I start, make sure you have installed a custom recovery like TWRP. If not, go to twrp.me and flash the recovery via fastboot. And BTW, plz forgive my poor English, if there are any mistakes, leave the comments blow, Thank you!
1. Install H2OS 2.5(I believe you already did this) and Root package.
2. After the setup, reboot to Recovery, choose Mount - System. then flash OpenGapps, in this step, I suggest you guys choose Nano version, mini version will replace the stock calendar with Google Calendar and other variants of Gapps will replace more stock apps.
3. Go to Advanced - File Manager, delete /system/priv-app/SetupWizard/setupwizard.apk
DO THIS NO MATTER YOU CAN ACCESS GOOGLE OR NOT, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT ENTER LAUNCHER!
4. After the reboot, Install and Open Titanium Backup, Tap Backup/Restore and you will find several Google-related apps are frozen, tap those and defrost them.
5. Convert Google Contacts Sync into user-app, after that go to Settings - Apps - Google Contacts Sync - Permissions, grant the permission on read contacts.
6. Reboot and Enjoy, don't forget use a proxy if you are in China!​
----------------------------
To enable Screen Search (Google Now on Tap), go to Settings - Buttons - Home Button, Long Press Action - Search Assistant.
If your phone still can't work somehow, try following steps.
1. Install and Open Nova Launcher, long press screen - Widgets - Activities. Then choose Settings - Assist & Voice input
2. Open this shortcut, tap Assist app and choose None, after that tap Assist app again and switch back to Google app.​
OP made their own Default App selection interface, so you can't go to Settings - Apps - Gear Icon - Default apps to select correct search assistant. That's why we need Nova Launcher to open this interface.
Screen Search should work then.
I already installed it using the Google Installer APK, so this method is of no use to me, but I sincerely hope it benefits several others.
Wow, you really seem to know your way around H2OS.
Could you help me with a problem I've been facing? I installed Pixel Launcher, and there's a hideous blue portion of the wallpaper that I can't remove. I understand you need to switch to the OnePlus Launcher to modify the wallpaper, so I switched to the OnePlus Launcher, changed the wallpaper, but the blue portion still persists.

There are additional options when changing wallpapers in the h2os launcher. I don't think you can entirely get rid of the colour blending at the bottom but you can change the colour and the area it covers. The one exception I have found is the Google wallpapers app, that is full screen.
My notifications don't sync with my android wear. Do you maybe have a fix for this, since this is the only reason I can't use H2os
