app icons changed to default android app icon - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

sup guys,
I'm having an odd issue.
I'm using the HD2One build and love it. I have Launcher Pro with 3 screens with app shortcuts and widgets and one folder for the games.
Well, the last 3 apps i put in this folder had their icon changed to the default android app icon. it happened with 0.3.4 and it just did it with 0.3.5. note that the shortcut is working properly and i can run the app without problem
any ideas about what's going on?
edit: updating LauncherPro fixed it so I guess LP is at fault?

What icon whas it before if not default icon?:s

Just had exactly the same thing happen on my Sensation but just removing the app from the desktop and then adding it back fixed it

Found this thread with a search for the same problem (not specific to device so rather than start a new thread I have added here)... couldn't find a proper fix for it though!
I have two folders with several apps in them. I do not want to have to remove and then replace each app that has had its icon replaced with the generic android icon - that would be an utter ball ache!
Does this issue arise due to apps being on the SD card? (I use Apps2SD). Is there some sort of icon memory cache that gets wiped every now and then for icons in folders? Could it be program updates?
This is perhaps only a small thing but it makes my carefully constructed specific folders look rubbish, and should be easy to fix with some sort of "refresh" command maybe?
My Sensation XE is unrooted and it is only the icons in folders that suffer this problem.

I have the same problem as above also on Sensation. It only happens when I move an app to the SD card and put it in a folder. Does Anyone have any solutions?

Changing order of apps.

Is there an app or something where I can change the order of my applications on my Desire? At the moment they are sorted alphabetically but I wish to sort them in the order I want.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible I can change the applications screen so there are pages where I can slide left to right instead of just one page where I slide up and down?
Thanks.
I would love a launcher with the "drawers" from iOS4, so you could have games in one, settings and tools in one, and media apps in another..

Btw, i don't care much for iOS, so don't flame me for posting a screen from it.

There's a home app called iHome. Pretty much an iPhone rip, but has some pretty good screen anims.
Or, get an iPhone 4?

this not a launcher but "apps organizer" does exactly what that screenie shows
Thanks will take a look.
Apps Organizer doesn't offer what the OP asked, only what the second poster asked for (I use it).
I've also been looking for being able to rearrange the app order for months.

How to change launcher icons?

I hate the icons that motoblur uses for the stock apps on the phone (camera, dialer, browser, etc.). I have been searching all over for a solution but cant find anything. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and want to know how I can change the icons that show up in the app drawer to the stock Froyo icons. Thanks!
you can probably download a theme icon pack for lp+
at least on adw that's what i can do..
Go Launcher let u change it with ease
Widget locker

root your phone, download ninjamorph, load up blur-res.apk, find ic_launcher_(app you want to replace).png from an AOSP rom and use it to replace the one in blur-res.apk in ninjamorph. finish project. done.

it's real simple. find some icons you like and place them on your sdcard. On your homescreen (if you are using Launcher Pro), long press a blank area, and choose "Shortcuts". then, at the top of that screen, choose "Applications". Once you find your application (say Maps), then click the old icon above the app name and you can browser your gallery app for a replacement icon. click the icon you want to use as a replacement then click ok. now you have a different icon for that app on your homescreen. This is the easiest way to do it without editing your framework-res files, etc. NOTE: this only changes the icon on the homescreen, it will still be the original icon in the app drawer. It takes a bit of time to do this, but well worth it IMO.
EDIT: I just re-read your OP, this won't change the icon in the app drawer, only the homescreen... [/facepalm]

[Q] Help wanted with lockscreen mod

Hi
I tried editing the lockscreen png files to get something similar to the honeycomb lockscreen. It involves replacing the jog_ png with blank ones. But a couple of things get ruined. The screenshots describe them better. I have no clue how to fix them. Could someone please assist?

How do I get rid of the right jog bar and the green and red button?
Unless your trying to make a mod for everyone I suggest using widget locker you can mod the buttons and much much more if you want to make a mod for everyone let me know I will see of I can help

I was trying to get the honeycomb lockscreen for my latest theme (which is gonna be shared with all of course). So when I fiddled with it, the dialer sceen gets ruined. (screenshot) Do help if you have the time.

I know, thanks. But I wouldn't have posted the problem here if i was able to figure it out. The thing is, all of the ones are indeed properly replaced with transparent ones. But the old one crops up in the answering screen! So I guess its using a different image from the phone.apk
you are going way too advanced...i have no idea either...im not theming anymore too
well if you use widget locker and just go to xda and search widget locker themes then there a lot of honeycomb themes you can apply to widget locker you can even make your own theme for widget locker its eazy just take the zip file from existing theme and unzip and mod the existing png files

[Q] 4G Toggle That Works With Go Launcher EX?

I started using Go Launcher Ex about two weeks ago and pretty much like it. Previously, I've only used Sense.
I'm having trouble finding a widget or even a shortcut to toggle the 4G radio on and off. With HTC Sense, there was a shortcut that gave you access to almost any setting. I was able to put a shortcut to 4G on one of my screens.
But those HTC shortcuts and widgets are not available when you replace Sense as your launcher.
I've tried downloading a couple of 4G "Widgets" from the market, but so far all of the one's I've tried require using Sense or else they don't show up.
I tried the Go widget for Power, which has switches for WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, screen brightness, etc., but they don't seem to have anything for 4G.
Can anyone recommend a widget or shortcut? I'm running a stock EVO Rom 2.3, but with Go Launcher Ex.
Thanks.
Have you tried 4G Toggle4 for Evo? Says it works with 3rd party launchers.
i like widgetsoid. you can even set it to act like pcw.

Yes. It is installed. It does NOT show up under widgets.

I'm going to try it. Any idea what is the difference between Widgetsoid and Widgetsoid2? I don't see any mention of any differences in the Market.
Maybe this is an issue with just my phone. Widgetsoid is installed and not showing up under widgets either.
Well if it doesn't work out, ADW EX has 4G toggle, and it should be dropping down to 10 cents sometime soon with the 10 cent app promotion.
I figured it out. Widget 101: Do not install widgets to the SD card.
Duh.

Need testers!!!!

hi guys
im trying to make a homescreen and everything else put together into a new theme based on the windows 8/metro ui
so far im pretty much finnished but now im trying to think of a way of transfering the homescreen layout to you guys so you dont have to set it up which took me about 3 hours
so basicly i need a few people on different roms to try this out for me
there should be no bad affects as its just a homescreen but still its not my fault if somthing does happen
so if you still want to help out download this File and unzip it to the root of your sd card folder ( /sdcard )
so make sure the 2 adw files are on your sd card and the folder metro ui is on sd card to
now make sure you have installed both adw launcher
and desktop visualiser which both can be found in market for free i think
now in adw open the settings by pressing the three lines in the top right then open backup and restore
thenpress restore for both settings and layout
restart adw
hopefull now you should have 4 icons on your desktop
2 big ones
2 small ones
btw the full version so far has nearly 100 icons
please report back to if it works
