EverythingMe Collections ("groups") are defined in the build configuration.
If no Collections are specified, none will be available on the homescreen.

Can you confirm your build config contains Collections?

@amirn This build was provided by the tablet supplier so I don't have access to their config. If you give me a pointer I'll look at the defaults as supplied by Mo for flatfish

Then it is possible that the supplier disabled E.me features. The homescreen configuration is in homescreen/build.js:

https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/homescreen/build/build.js#L198

Jason will probably have more information about which devices ship what.

I actually don't know much about configurations in regards to flatfish.

FYI, the configuration was determined by Mozilla. Francis, do you remember whom should be contacted to for this?

hi All,

in Flatfish, everything.me was removed due to Flatfish was targeted to sell in China market. and everything.me couldn't full fill Chinese market need.
loop Fred and EJ who made this change.

Personal opinion. Flatfish is currently not a product, yet, in the general market. From the perspective of TCP, most of contributors came from everywhere around the world. Should we reconsider to pull back Everything.me, despite of the 'target market'? This could be good for the development of the 'pure' FxOS. Thanks.

This solely depends on where consumer devices launch and where it be be mainly used.
