I am experiencing an issue with my icons. When I move the icon from the app drawer to the screen I can edit it to remove the name but when I restart the tab the names show up again. This did not happen in the past, any ideas?

Is there a way to change the life companion text?

Yes. It is in the lock screen settings.

Here's a easier way. On the lock screen that's a widget you can grab the bottom of it and you will see a edit button. I deleted the text. Their is just the clock widget as well from the locksceen settings but I like the clocks position better with the text but deleted the text.

Are there any apps that will let me open up 1 app when it looks like another? For example if I put the messaging app on my home screen can I press it and make it actually open the email app instead?

Nova launcher....can change app icons. Not sure what you really are trying to do though.

Well the problem is when you move the apps to the sd card..if you reboot they drop out of any folders you have on the homescreen. So I was trying to have a system app, change the icon and name and have it open an sd card app so it remains on a reboot. Was just a theory I wanted to see if it works as a workaround for the apps dropping out after a reboot

Pretty sure it would be impossible. The icons are like shortcuts in windows. A pretty little graphic that calls a command (in this case am) to open the app. The reason it drops is the OS is attempting to be smart and since it can't find the app on boot (sdcard has to be mounted first) is drops the shortcut.
Only suggestion is try a widget that lets you make shortcuts.
Edit
Or try a shortcut app like

I found a semi decent workaround ..in Nova Launcher there's a swipe action feature when you can set an app to open a different app when you swipe it vs pressing it. So I took a non sd app, changed the icon to the icon of the app I wanted to open and changed the name to the app I wanted to open..then added a "-s" after it so I know it's a swipe action app. Not bad..

So I was holding my phone and I could tell that it accidentally turned on and was doing things. When I looked down to turn it off I noticed that the app launcher icon at the very bottom of my homepage is missing. I have no clue how to get it back and can't figure out a way to access all my apps.
Does anyone know how to get the icon back?
Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this but I'm wondering if someone can or know how to change the icons for the shortcuts on the lock screen.

So when I first put that widget on my screen, it was all fine but then it stopped showing the actual weather and it looks like this:

Any idea how to fix it?

Enable location again as this and internet are the two things needed for the weather plug-in to work. If enabling location don`t fix the issue please restart your phone and please also add the weather widget to some home screen though.
My location was enabled but I disabled it and enabled it again, it's set on high accuracy right now. Didn't fix the problem. Restarting also didn't fix the problem. After adding the widget to the screen again, it still only shows the clock and the date

And you are sure this is the weather widget not the clock one ?
I am grabbing the weather widget shown on the first picture, putting it on the screen and then it actually looks like the one on the second picture
