app icons changed to default android app icon

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?

[Theme] Windows Phone 7 UI+Launcher+Music (All Droids)

Pretty Simple Theme,
You will need CM7 (Because of its T-Mobile theming engine)
You will need to know how to sideload APK's
Any Droid should work (or any phone for that matter)
Step 1 (Install Launcher 7)
Get Launcher 7 from market
(Donate version doesnt have ads, i suggest getting it. you wont be disappointed)
Change default launcher to Launcher 7
Step 2 (Make tiles Blue)
On the homescreen, press menu
Press 'Launcher7 Settings"
Change the tile color to #ff19a1e2
Click the blue swatch to confirm
(Do not set status bar options, the theme will do this)
Step 3 Install the CM Theme
In Market, get MinimalBread
The Install will go into your Theme Chooser app
One side effect of the theme is some missing features. so far i havent seen any big ones
Select it, Install then Reboot
Step 4 Music App
now what inspired me to make this tutorial was the music app i saw on Engadget,
Article Here
Download Here
Software Updates Here
Install the APK to your phone
Hold down the music Icon in Launcher7
Press the Pencil
Change the Application and look for Fede's Music App
Now your phone has the Windows Phone 7 theme,
Any questions? Feel free to PM me

Very smooth launcher for my old milestone, only Launcherpro works better.
I wont change it to other ones for a time.
But it is still a mimic, not identical to real WP7.
This is from my samsung focus:

There it is..
Well, I'm using the donation one. And yeah it's running pretty damn smooth!!

i think android is better than windows 7

Like this theme! Thanks a lot for showing us the methods to apply it.

[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?

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.

you replace em with same image but (a transparent one )
as you got rid of the 1.st one you should be able to remove the other one

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

[GUIDE] Launching the Multi-Control Panel with a single gesture WITHOUT Root!

For HTC One with firmware 4.2.2 or above, there is a very handy multi-control panel with can allow users enable and disable many features like Wifi, Data, Auto-rotation etc.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However, the stupid Google UI design has made it very slow and complicated to launch the panel with 2 fingers simultaneously or swipe the notification bar down first and press the button to launch Control Panel.
Finally, I figured out a way to launch the Multi-control Panel instantly using one finer
It does NOT require root.
Here are the steps:
1. Download two apps at Google Play: "Nova Launcher" and "Swiping Home Button"
(The second app is a paid app, so you know it...)
2. Launch "Swiping Home Button and click "Binding"
3. You can customize your gesture here and personally I prefer to launch Control Panel by swiping up right (the one with Chinese word)
4. Click on the gesture you like and assign a shortcut to it. We are going to choose "App shortcut" here.
5. Choose "Nova Launcher"
6. Finally, choose "Extended Quick Settings"
You are DONE ! Enjoy the Multi-Control Panel instantly with one finger !

Hey Mate,
Does it mean that Nova Launcher has to be running at the background all times?

I really not sure. But I don't recognize any negative effect in terms of the phone's performance caused by this trick.

Yes. Also, Nova Launcher has gestures as well so I don't get the use of this.

Well, if you use this, then you can still use the Sense Launcher!

[Q] 1x1 Widgets and Text

I have been dealing with an annoying fact about 1x1 widgets. They are 1x2 in practice since they contain text, and i dont see much sense on that.
Is there anyway i can get rid of the text, here's my home screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
please note that i wouldnt want to remove the text from the weather widget, im strictly interested on removing the text from the tiny ones that look like icons.
PS, in case somebody wondering:
Weather Widget: 1Weather Widget
Wallpaper: Astronomy Picture of the Week uses NASA's APOD

Lads, anyone?

Look into custom launchers like Apex or Nova - I am using Apex Pro and I have a 4x5 grid with keeps much tighter spacing on text (you can go higher than that, it is all just a matter of personal preference).

So do i, that is Apex Pro there and been an Apex user ever since ICS on my S2. The grid may apply to the icons for what you suggest but it doesnt do anything with 1x1 widgets that look like icons.
I've tried resizing it since Apex supports that, but it wont do it.

A week of googling and it seems this is neglected to the max, im puzzled why people would want text on a 1x1 widget.
In case somebody runs on this with an answer, please dont hesitate to revive the thread.

Your best bet would probably be to decompile widget and to edit the Xml file that had the text or edit the color to be the same as the background color so it just blends in. It would still be there persay but you wouldn't see it cause it would blend in. If you get what I'm saying
