Issues with Sense FroYo apps?

First of all, I apologise if this is meant to go in general, so mods can move it, and also if this has been asked before.
Anyway, I can't install Google Sky Maps, comes up with 'Unknown Error -18' and I can install Sense note widget either.
The thing that confuses me more is that I can install any app from CM6/Vanilla FroYo rom (Contacts, Car Home, Home Tips (br0 tips as it is on CM6) and even the CyanogenMod settings. Granted, I can only get to the CM settings via bettercut, and I don't think that most/any work, but still, its strange I can install it at all, right?
Just wondering if anyone has the reason for the strange behaviour.
Cheers

Well i know for a fact that the HTC Widgets like notes will not install on even a 2.1 eclair rom so that's why they still don't install on 2.2.

So its within the rom that allows the widget? I believe its included in LeeDroid.

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?

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

It works fine for me.

Weird I'm using mdj's latest build and can see the standard Widgets but not new ones.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

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

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.

good tip changing skin..

Changing the skin works..

Which is the best and most up to date Android to run on my hd2.

I have an hd2. And I'm running froyo 2.2 I think. I have had it for about a year. And everything works great. Except for a couple of bugs. Home screens don't rotate, flash doesn't work for camera, and I can't install angry birds. Damn it. With that said has there been a new Android build worthy of me flashing it to my hd2 and replacing my froyo? Also is there a way to flash it so I don't turn on phone and it goes to energy Rom. Please help.

Scroll down to the second post in the thread under "I Dont Have Mobile Internet on my Phone"
Sorry I would post directly, but I can't post "outside links" which epc.t-mobile com is considered.

No problem. Ok I did the new settings how it says but nothing. I still can't get or send an mms. It just says sending. And its been sending for a couple of hours

Ok does anyone know what software I can use to sync. My android to my pc
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Im thinking that the 2.3.4 ROM you are now running is the nexus one build to HD2. you wouldn't be able to run htc sync since it would recognize the phone as a nexus one. the windows mobile sync center also wont work.
Connect Usb and transfer files!

Ok first things first.
I tested many roms but ONLY PURE Gingerbread rom is listed on my signature. Also dont had any problems with MMS or SMS.
Yes syncing wont work, but some stuff you can make with DroidExplorer
Right now maked some search for soft and found three sync soft. I dont tested these yet. You use it with your own risk. Backup with titaniumbackup first.

I've used both DroidExplorer and MyPhoneExplorer. They both seem a little twitchy. I mainly rely on syncing with my Google account. I use Google Calendar Sync on my PC to sync my Google calendar and Outlook.
