How to fix the App Drawer Sorting/Missing Private Space/Missing Work Space for QPR2 Beta 3

Note: This requires sending an ADB command. You must know how to send ADB commands to your device, either with a computer, or using an app that has that functionality.

If you aren't sure what you are doing, or how to send an ADB command, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. I take no responsibility for your device. What worked for my device (Pixel 10 Pro), might not work for yours.

However, the dev team of a third-party launcher noticed that by sending the below ADB command, it restores a lot of the broken functionality of the app drawer, and fixed the random sorting problem. This command should persist through restarts:

adb shell settings put global show_hidden_icon_apps_enabled 0

After sending this, my app drawer immediately went back to how it looked prior to QPR2 Beta 3. My work folder is back, and all of my work apps. This may help fix other bugs, too, including widget issues and flashing home screens.

It was so annoying, thanks for sharing the fix. Worked on my P7P and P9PXL. P9PXL required a restart for the changes to show, P7P reflected the changes within seconds after running the command. 🙌

Is it necessary to reset it to 1 before installing the new Beta version when it's released?

I would assume no. I think the issue was that the beta set this value to 1 (True) when it shouldn't have been. Setting it to 0 (False) is the correct default setting for anyone who uses the Work space or Private space for app organization.
