Apps and Folders Missing

[ryangur]

My s6 (all stock) Is missing 6 folders full of apps. I have the apps in my applications menu, and I can only access them if I go through Google play. A few of the sideloaded ones I can't get to at all. I have tried rebooting numerous times.


It occurred after I updated on Verizon to 5.1.1 and my phone died. After charging a bit, I booted the phone and it went into safe mode. I turned off the safe mode and rebooted, still missing. Booted into safe mode separately... After turn off and reboot. Still the same thing.

None of these apps are disabled.. No idea what's up.. Advice?!?

I'm still on 5.0.2, but I have read elsewhere that some recommend wiping the cache partition after the update....might be worth a try.

Tried that... Still didn't work... Any other ideas?

That's nuclear option... Any others?

You could install a custom launcher and check if they reappear in the new app drawer. It sounds like a Touchwiz problem. Maybe clearing cache for TW.
