It works fine for me.

Weird I'm using mdj's latest build and can see the standard Widgets but not new ones.

Any advice anyone? Nothing is appearing other than the default items.

I had the same thing when using the SD version of that build.
Just reboot the phone and they will appear.

I've tried that to no avail

Go to settings,application manager find the widget you want and remove it on your phone memory..then it should be appear..!if a widget is saved on sdcard it want be showed on the widget section u have to manually save widgets on your phone memory because gingerbread saves all the apps first into sdcards

You are a star, thanks for your help

App Launcher

I have done some searching and cannot seem to find anything, please feel free to sarcastically point me in correct direction if i am wrong.
are there any favourite app launchers, e.g. a 1x1 program/widget than when clicked opened your 4, 8, 16 best apps (customizable) thus saving white space without having to scroll through all prorams to get to U etc?
Many thanks in anticipation

There are a few... I use Apps Organizer to arrange under manual icons and labels. Clicked once it opens a layer on the same screen with all the chosen app shortcuts in there. The most major limitation being that it cannot arrange widgets into such "folders".

You could just create a folder and drag app icons into it?
or you could just do that, sorry getting to grips with this phone still.
creating a folder works surprisingly well, many thanks

Another option
Another option is Ultimate Faves which lets you select favourite apps or contacts and scroll between the two.

Missing icon picture in folder

Hey guys,
When I restart my phone, the pictures of my icons become the standard market icon picture and I realized that these applications that are affected are those that I have moved to sd card.
Is there any ways to solve this problem?

Anyone having the same problems too?

Hey bryant, I had the same problem and couldn't figure it out so installed folder organizer(there is a free version) it works pretty well.

Thanks for replying. I encountered the problem again and I change the scenes for my sense UI and the icons went back to the original icons already. This is a workaround but I do not want to keep changing my scene.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
I had a problem with my contact icons disappearing in the sms stock app. I removed my htc sense account and all is ok now. Htc sense is very buggy.

I think it's because you placed these app on storage card. All apps on my card have same issue. Don't worry they are still there. Reload your card to get icons back.

ive not had this problem but dropbox is missing an icon completely.
That's weird. How about the others? Any problems with this?
Do factory reset might fix the problem.
Happens to me as well, any app thats on the SD card doesn't load an icon, usually if you manually unmount and then remount the card in the settings it fixes them.
Or if you change your device Skin.
I think its because they don't register right away when the UI loads, the SD card usually takes 3-6 secs to actually mount itself when my phone switches on.
So I have to manually remount the sd card again when the phone is rebooted?

If you want the icons to show, yes.
Or change the skin/theme on the device, that loads them too

That's strange it works for me. Have you ensured that it's actually installed? sometimes my market says it will install but it's never there.
Edit: sorry, I should read more carefully. Well I don't know what to tell you then. Try a different launcher maybe? I'm using zeam

HTC Desire HD Default Icons

Hi I have dhd but when installing apps then transfering them to the memory card, when having custom folders on the home screen restaring the device causes the icons to show as the standard default android icons. Is there anyway of making keep the original app ones?
Thanks
I have the same issue as well.

I have found a solution that although it works for me is perhaps not ideal.
If you change the 'skin' to something other than the one you are using, this seems to sort the problem. You can then change back to your original.
The only other thing I had to do was to then change the wallpaper back to what I wanted, but this does not make any difference to the solution.
Let me know if this works for you.

This issue is not that simple. Even if the phone is on for days, the icons don't change. Even selecting them to open the app makes no difference.
The only way I can resolve this issue is to do what I said in my previous post. I have also found that if HTC Sense has to force close and restart, then the correct app icons appear.

Changing the skin works..

Facebook widget problem

For some odd reason I don't seem to be able to login to facebook with any of my Desire's Facebook Widgets. I've tried the GO launcher widget, the Colorize FB widget and now lastly the FriendStream widget.
They all worked previously, but then when I signed out of Facebook via the widget, I couldn't log back in anymore.
The weird thing is that the Facebook app itself works fine.
Any ideas...??
Have you tried throwing it at a wall???
Or force close it via app manager. Then see if that works...not sure if it would but always worth a shot

Well actually, I didn't use the search button
I had been looking for the solution for this problem for quite a while over the internet, and accidentally ran into this thread by Alex-V via another site.
