Problem with Apps not showning in app list

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.

[Q] Help with removing Widgets

I've been using Zeam 2.8.8 as my desktop launcher and think it's great for our Nooks. I am having a problem when trying to remove large widgets, i.e 4x2, 2x3. I long press the widget and drag it to the trash can, I'm not that stupid, but when it's in the right spot the widget and trashcan are supposed to both turn red. Problem is on a grayscale like Nook there is no visiable change in color. Is there an app I can use to remove the widget? I've been looking for an app the past three days but not lucky. I also am using ES File manager which allow sys access. Is the wedget listed somewhere in the system files so I can delete it? Go Launcher is more better in terms of widget removal.

[Q] Android Icon app drawer

I am in the process of completing an android icon pack. I have all the icons complete and know how to apply each icon to their app, But I cannot find an activity for the app drawer Icon to apply my icon to. I tried DDMS but that did not show any activity when pressed. I have see many Icon packs have a custom Icon for the app drawer.
So how would I use my icon on the app drawer icon for my icon pack.

From another thread on the same subject:

You can't change the icon, and even if you were rooted it would be very difficult. The status bar requires root to do anything with it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I'm not quite sure you can actually change it. Even Nova, one of my favorite launchers, doesn't change it from default. I think that short of writing your own ROM, you may be out of luck.
Sorry, I really wish I had a better answer than that.

[Q] Removing navigation bar

Hi,
Is there any apk or launcher or mod that can remove navigation bar at the bottom?
I want to setup a second user for my little kid, setting up the Nexus 7 for her.
But, I want to remove all kind of user interface except ability to start some games from the home screen.
So far, I have this setup:
*APEX Launcher
- notification bar removed
- dock removed
- desktop locked
- pinch-in gesture to go to the app drawer
But, I don't know how to remove the navigation bar.
There is an app which I used before "immersive full screen mode", but it seems it doesn't work on Lollipop 5.1.
Thanks.

Dual app icon

Whenever an app is updated, another app icon appears in the home screen. When I try to delete either of them they both get completely removed. Please help.
Today I changed my theme to one plus and the duplicate icons disappeared.
