I have a galaxy s lll and I wondered if anyone knows how to get an app added back to the app drawer. I deleted a couple and can't figure out how to add new one's...
Thank you!:confused:
 
Hi shellig! Welcome to Android forums! EDIT: Looks like Urge moved this before I could, but I think you may have uninstalled the app possibly. To re-install, you just re-download it from the Play store.

Thats also what I am thinking but, its best that its moved just incase it isn't :)
 
No, thanks for the quick reply but I didn't uninstall any of the apps I'm tryin to put back on the app drawer. I did though delete from drawer originally. The phone app because it had a 2 on it all the time like I had 2 missed calls. And the messaging app cuz I was using go sms pro app instead for a while.
 
Anything installed on your phone automatically appears in the app drawer. If its not there you uninstalled it from the phone. Reading your comments though I don't think you mean the app drawer. If you mean that you deleted an icon from a screen by dragging it to the trashcan then all you have to do is open the proper app drawer which is the icon on the right on the bottom dock, scroll until you find the app/icon you want, long press on it til it vibrates/wiggles then simply drag it to where you want it on the screen.

This is certainly the way things used to be, but now apps can be 'hidden' by pressing 'Apps' and then choosing 'Hide applications' from the menu.

To get hidden apps back in view, you just select 'Show hidden applications' from the 'Apps' menu. The trick is that this is hidden (ironic, huh!) at the bottom of the menu list, so you'll need to scroll down to the bottom of the menu to find it.
 
I have a couple that I'm trying to get back as well. I hid them. But since Jelly Bean update, the application menu doesn't have the view hidden selection any more. Just the aphabetically list, custom, etc.. Please help!
Thanks,
K

Try scrolling past the "Z's". The hidden ones are down there.
Good Luck!
