I moved Chrome from the Google folder to the desktop and subsequently removed it from there. Now it no longer shows up in the folder or the app drawer. It is still installed and I can open it if I search for it, but I can't find the icon to place it back on the home screen. I even uninstalled The Update AND Re updated It To No avail. Thanks for any help getting it back
Check your frozen apps on the far right tab under Settings - Application Manager. Unfreeze it. One bug I have noticed so far is if you drag and drop into folders in the app drawer as soon as your restart they dissappear. Best way to add apps to folder is to add them via the plus sign button.

Hi guys,
I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me with 3 unfortunate issues I've been noticing since I rooted last night. I rooted 2.2 on my Droid X and backed up everything with Titanium backup. I removed a bunch of bloatware but I made sure that everything I renamed from .apk to .bak was "safe to remove" based on messages I read on multiple forums. I am also running Launcher Pro Plus. Here are the issues I'm seeing.
Every time I power down the phone and then turn it back on, I'm seeing the following 3 issues:
1) WidgetLocker - the Alarm Clock v2 tiny clock icon that I have on my lock screen disappears. Also, the Switch Pro Widget (Size 4) that I have on my lock screen also disappears. I can put them back no problem but as soon as I power down and turn the phone back on, they're gone again.
2) Folder Organizer - I have several shortcuts on my homescreen with custom icons. For example, I have a shortcut with an icon that looks like a pair of headphones. Tapping on this icon opens the Folder Organizer shortcut to reveal my music player, Pandora, FM Radio, etc. Everytime I power down the phone and then turn it back on, all of the icons revert back to the default Folder Organizer icon.
3) Anytime I plug in my phone via USB to my computer, Folder Organizer and Widget Locker fail with a force close. This happens regardless of whether or not I have USB debugging checked or what mode it's on (PC Mode, USB, etc).
I tried reverting a few items from .bak back to .apk but it didn't fix either of these issues. Anyone have any ideas? I would GREATLY appreciate it, thanks so much!

Strange! I didn't think I had but they were on the SD card when I checked. Just moved SwitchPro, Widget Locker and Folder Organizer back to the phone and it looks like it solved all 3 issues!!
I can't thank you enough!!!!!!!
could also try rom managers fix permissions.
glad I could help, keep any apps with widgets on phone. I've had that problem before too.

Yesterday i noticed a change in DESKTOP VISUALIZER not showing the icon packs any longer. I rooted my phone and all looked OK. I installed CMP player with ASTRO file manager and opened up from within ASTRO and all looked ok. I looked for the CMP icon in the app list and it was not there.
I went to run Titanium backup and the icon was missing from the app list. I went to the market, uninstalled it and installed it again and the icon was still missing from the app list.
Does anyone have any idea what happened or how to fix?
thanks
By chance are you running Launcher Pro? If so, check to make sure it is not a "hidden app" there. I was missing the Music icon and found it was hidden there.
launcher pro
Yes I am running launcher pro. There is nothing checked in hidden apps. HOWEVER I did find the CONNECTED MUSIC PLAYER icon in the app list. I found it when i noticed there were 2 identical "MUSIC" icons in the list. The second icon was the newly installed app. BUT, Titanium backup is still not there. The only thing i can think of is i installed Titanium before I rooted the phone though I did not run anything in the program. I'll try uninstalling it again and rebooting the phone and reinstall. The icon packs are still not showing in DESTOP VISUALIZER.
Try toggling the option to show hidden apps... unless the apps you're looking for do show up in the "hide" list, and are unchecked.
oops
End of Flesh......this is embarassing......I installed the PRO version (key) of titanitum without installing the program itself which is why there was no icon...
I can be dumb sometimes ((((
However, the original problem still exists. Desktop Visualizer allows you to chose an application to put on your homescreen, then allows you to choose an icon to use with the app. It gives you 3 choices of where to get your icons: Image File, App Icon, or Icon Pack. Previously when i choose Icon Pack, about 15 of my installed apps came up in the list. When i choose one of those apps, a window would open showing me a picuture of icons that particular app draws on. I simply selected one of the icons and it was associated with the app i had chosen. Now when I select Icon Pack, i get a message saying no icon packs are installed, which is true, but something changed since those apps using their own icon packs no longer appear. I got some pretty neat icons that way, but am hoping nothing got messed up somewhere along the line. I didn't un-install anything or do anything out of the ordinary that i can remember.
Anyway, thanks for your help...greatly appreciated.

I recently installed CM7 nightly 213 on an SD card using verygreen's size-agnostic installer. This is my first time doing this so forgive me if this is a noob question.
I had a bunch of apps from Amazon that I had already installed on my phone. I installed the appstore on my nook color and I started downloading and installing the apps from my account. However once they are installed, they don't show up in the launcher.
I did look around using the File Manager and found some directories in /mnt/asec that had folders with names that indicated some of the apps I downloaded created them. Inside them there are "pkg.apk" files. If I run that, the app gets installed again and I can then see it in the Launcher.
If I go into Application settings->Manage applications I see them all there. If I go into a specific one and say "Move to SD Card" or "Move to Phone" (whichever option I have), the app will then show up in launcher. I can toggle it back and forth, i.e. SD Card to Phone and back, and it will continue to appear in the launcher.
This isn't really a big deal, but it is kind of odd. Is it a setting I have somewhere, or is this a bug somehow?
What launcher are you using?

If this post helped you don't forget to say thanks!
Just whatever the default one is.
Open the "drawer" by tapping the square icon in the bottom center (at least, it's there by default). Icons for all of your apps will be shown.
Scroll until you find the one you want, then long-press it until it lights up. Keep holding it. Drag it downwards, you'll drop back into the default launcher screen, and you can drag it to where you want it and let go.
This is the basic way to organize your launcher screens.
You can long-press any icon and move or remove it; removing doesn't uninstall.
Good luck!

I have been creating some folders for applications in my app pages - just to keep them organised. Create one called Photo and dropped in Camera and Gallery icons, then created a fe more folders, and suddenly the Folder has disappeared and the icons with it. My Camera and Galery icons are now only visible in the 'frequently used' tab by not the 'All' tab. A reboot has not brought them back. I can use the applications launched from the copy I have on my homescreen, but this seems weird that they have vanished. Device is a stock, unrooted , and no customisations whatsoever. Any help would be appreciated.
I had the same problem, I gave up trying to find a fix and just installed a new launcher (ADW Launcher ex, about $3), if you are looking for a new one I would suggest the new Go Launcher HD (it is free).

Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>TWlauncher and clear data. All your icons will be back and the home screen will revert to stock. Drawback is you have to recustomise your home screens again.

Thanks, I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of weeks.
I have the sample problem. After creating some folders, some icons disappeared.
It should be a bug.
The icon will lost after made a update
Thanks for the solution, a frustrating bug which has made me try out go launcher HD. Very nice and smooth.
Recently installed OmniROM 4.4.4 which works great on Motorola Xoom however there is no REMOVE option for icons on the homescreen or UNINSTALL option for completing removing apps that I've downloaded. Whenever you longpress on an app to uninstall it, it makes a shortcut to the homescreen I've checked all the settings and cant find a solution, has anyone else experienced this issue?

I haven't... Remove should be at the top of the screen.
Xoom is not an officially supported device though.
