Can't see icons on home screen after ui8.

Please help i can no longer see my icons after ui8 they all seem to have a white blob over them. How do we remove them? Also all my widget text got really small, I tried expanding the widget but that definitely not how it was before.

@userD0FewNWDzM Did you wipe the device cache partition after the update? I recommend that you do this after every device update. It wipes out incompatible or outdated cache information which might be incompatible after the update. It does not erase any user data nor applications.

To wipe the device cache partition:

1. Power off your device.
2. Power up while holding down the Volume up key and the Side key until the Samsung logo appears. 
3. An Android recovery menu will appear.
4. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Wipe cache partition.
5. Click the side key to select it.
6. Use the Volume down key to scroll down to Yes. 
7. Click the side key to select it. The Cache will be wiped almost instantaneously. 
8. Click the side key to select "Reboot system now"

That did get rid of the white blob. Thank you!

Text is still small in widgets tho.

Is there a way to get the app drawer pages to be in alphabetical order. All my apps are randomized.

Anyway to get the old battery icon back so it matches the look of the rest of the status bar?

Thanks for your help

@userD0FewNWDzM Great glad that I could help!

To make the app drawer sorted alphabetically, swipe up on the home screen. Click on the 3 dots at the right end of the search bar. Click on Sort. Click on Alphabetical order.

Sorry but there is no way to change the battery icon back. But, the possibility is in Beta 8.5 so you will probably see the option in the future.

Oh, well that turns all the pages into one page.

That is disappointing, hopefully they can get everything sorted out for 8.5

Thanks for the help
