Icons change after SDcard move - HTC EVO 3D

Hi, I moved angry birds to my SD card via the phone' make more room wizard to save memory, however the icon now shows Android Market for Angry Birds. Is there a way to get the icon back to Angry Birds?
Thanks
Fixed, remove the widget , then put it back and its back

See if it stays after a reboot. I'm having the issue with all apps moved to SD not keeping the icons on the today screen. They are still in the app drawer. They still work but they are still the generic androids.

Just remove the icon and add it again, it should stick this time
****EDIT, yes, I rebooted and the icon was changed to generic again**** Hope they fix this issue, not a big issue, however it bugs

I see. Okay it's a bug. I did notice when I moved an app back, it reloaded everything.

I found a workaround. Change the scene and change back. Presto! Icons reload!

[Q] Viewsonic G-Tablet

First of all, let me say, you all are awesome! Without you, my tablet would be so plain! I just got it this past week, and after watching videos and reading through your forums, I knew I had to try to root mine.
So, I have a question - and it may seem silly, but I've looked all through my tablet at settings and such, and I cannot find a way to fix this little problem.
I used Clockworks and I loaded Vegan version 7 as my OS. I love the Vegan, but in checking things out and personalizing it, I put some of the main icons on the bottom of my main screen. One of those main icons is the one that you touch to pull up a screen with all your apps on it. Well, somehow or another (I just can't figure out what happened) I managed to do something that caused the icon to malfunction. When you touch the app icon, instead of showing me a screen of all my apps, it shows a see-through blank screen.
I cannot figure out how to fix this so the icon will bring up a screen of my apps again. I figure the icon works as a shortcut to get to the directory of my apps, but I just cannot figure out how to fix it. I don't really know if it's something I did or if it is a glitch in the program.
Any thoughts?

Menu- Settings- Apllications- manage aplications - then unistall it and try reinstalling it.
Have you tried changing your launcher to something else? Maybe VT Launcher is fouled?

Thank you, but there is no launcher icon in those settings to uninstall and reinstall. I thought maybe deleting the icon that was on the screen and then reapplying the icon to the desktop would help, but it didn't - I still just get a blank screen with no program apps showing.
I appreciate you responding. I'm still stuck with the problem, if anybody else wants to give it a try.
Do you think maybe I should just reinstall the VEgan program? Will my apps still be there when I do that?

You've probably created a blank 'catalog'.
The App drawer allows you to create catalogs of different apps (so you can organize your app drawer, etc).
After opening your App Drawer, press menu and see if you don't have some options regarding catalogs.

Google + Icon issue

I have two apps Google+ and Dolphin Browser which have both gone to a generic app icon for some reason on my home screen. Have any of you experienced this? If so any known cause and fix?
If you have them installed on the SD card move them to the phone then restart, that should fix it.
this happens because they are on the sd.
if you want to keep them on sd, then when you reboot just change your skin and it will fix it. then you can change it back
Get fast boot from the market lot easier that changing skins

Trouble with icons on homescreen

Ok so I have a very annoying problem with my evo. Everytime I restart the phone, the icon to any app that I have on my homescreen that is also saved on the sd card does not show up once my phone has restarted. In place of the icon is a standard android icon that takes me to the market when touched. I know that a simple fix is simply just to change the scene then change it back again to make the icons reappear, but it's such a hassle to have to do it everytime. Does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone know how to prevent it from happening so I dont always have to change the scene every time?
Put the apps back on the phone.
This is a gingerbread problem and I don't know why google hasn't done anything about it. It worked fine on Froyo on the 0g evo but as soon as gingerbread came out it appeared. The same thing happens if you use a widget for an app that you've moved to the SD card. After a reboot the widget will be disabled. Hopefully google will fix some day. It seems to be a problem with the sd card not being recognized before the apps and widgets are loaded on the homescreen. Maybe a change in the bootup sequence would help where the sd card is recognized before the home screen is rendered.

[Q] Tray Icon Issue please help

This is driving me totally nuts I have been trying for ages to figure this out and can't get it.
Samsung Galaxy S2 Totaly stock unrooted Android 2.3.5
My home screen had 4 icons at the bottom for quick launch.
Phone contacts messaging applications
Contacts is redundant since you can access that through the phone icon as well and I never use text messages so I swapped 2 of them for other apps so now the home screen is like this:
Phone Gmail Whatspp Applications
This is fine right up until I restart the phone
When it restarts all 4 are there until is "scans usb storage" at which point the gmail icon disappears
I have to manualy change my application tray from list back to grid view and then edit to put the icon back and then put it back in list view
The icon will then stay until the next restart
As I say this is driving me up the wall
Things I have tried:
Full factory reset and reconfigure the phone
Reboot of phone with tray in both list and grid mode
Clear data from twLauncher and set everything back up again
With and without external SD card installed in phone
No matter what I do as soon as I reboot that icon is gone and it always appears to be gmail.
And please I don't want people telling me to install a different launcher or to root the phone. I don't want it rooted and I tried the other launchers and don't like them
Dude - Sorry i dont have advice for you..but im sitting with something similiar..
Non-rooted phone..but when I reboot phone, the bottom icons (tray), get replaced by my last downloaded apps..for example, skype, flashlight and astro file manager...
After the phone has finished scanning they all return back to normal.
Im guessing this is some random bug, as I also tried clearing data from TWLAUNCHER and within time, after downloading some more apps, the same problem occurs.
Cheers

cm7 sd soft buttons vanished

The home, back arrow, menu soft buttons vanished along bottom of screen. How do I get them back? I tried the show hide funtions under launcher functions but no joy. This is the default sd cm7 with the gray green android on home page. I am sure its an operator error. Thanks in advance
Are you sure the status bar did not force close? That would be my first thought.
If not, what launcher are you using? The default ADW?

I did get a force close on esfile manager just prior to that and. I did notice the bar was gone at that point. I powered off restarted, buttons reappeared. I think that might have been my first or second force closeinseveral months and yes it is ADW default. I would like to go to theCM9 with CM7 sd but I will wait a while.
All the Best

Glad you got it figured out. The reboot usually does the trick for little did like that.
Also, if you're interested, you can run CM9 off a microSD card. Let me know if you are and I can find the link to directions.
