Look in your app drawer. The icons on the homepage are just links to the apps.

If the apps are really missing, go to the Play Store and install them again. (The ones you already installed, paid or not, will say Installed on the button, not Install or Buy, but that's because the store knows you installed them once - the button will still work.)

If you can't remember what you had, go to Apps (on the left), then to My Apps. (That's why I back up all my apps with App Backup & Restore and keep the backups on one of my hard drives - so I can restore anything I ever installed.)

Go to settings, go to apps and then click show system apps and find touchwiz home and clear the data

Welcome to Android Central! You need to give more details about how you arrived at this situation. First off, are you talking about the ancient Note 2 phone? Are you saying that when you open the App Drawer, you only see those apps that you just listed, and the rest of your installed apps are no longer in the App Drawer?
