Accidental safe mode boot now apps are missing

[FrankZAS4]

Hey guys, I have always come to android central for news and tips and guidelines, as my experience is limited I could not add any value to posts, I accidentally booted in safe mode, I than restarted my phone, the safe mode was gone but now my apps are missing and confused in the app drawer, I do not know how this happened is there a way to do a system recovery of some sorts so that the phone is like it was before? I am using a s4 the lte version any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Frank

Welcome to the forums.
Safe mode really shouldn't have done that, or at least to my knowledge.
As for a system recovery, there is no way to do that, for a couple reasons: 1. something like that needs to be done before anything happens, 2. you would need a custom recovery to make a system backup (called Nandroid), and restore it

Maybe try another restart?
