Have been using a mate 8 on official emui 5. Build no: nxt l29c185b560. Today i factory reset my phone to give it to my cousin. After reset i went through the initial set up (Gmail accounts, wifi etc) and after that when it finally lands me to my home screen... It is blank... No icons visible... No wallpaper... Nothing... I can access the notification shade and settings... Even google now... I can access apps via a quick local search via the google now app... But i can't access my home screen or app drawer... There are no icons... Just a black screen with my navigation buttons... Please please help!
