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

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.
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!

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.

Is anyone else having problems with widget locker? Sometimes it'll randomly stop working and the screen becomes black except for the status bar, then I get a popup that it's frozen so I hit force close and i have to hit force close for it close. I usually have to reboot after it closes for it to work properly again.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Yes I'm having problems as well lots of force closes... what do u mean "widget locker"? When an app or anything really malfunctions open the app drawer and long press the app. It will pop up a little box, click app info and then u can force it to stop.. this should alleviate the need for reboot..

Widget Locker is an app. It's a lockscreen replacement. For some reason money FC's and freezes a lot. Its the only thing that's giving me problems.

I seem to have that issue with "money" a lot also.
Sorry couldn't help my self. Sorry you are having issues, but I can't run WL even on stock... it's very buggy for me.
GL, Slim!
I have noticed CM7 and MIUI both have problems with Super User keeping the permissions set for apps that require root access. I find a lot of the apps that require root permissions act this way. Try turning off root helper in widget locker settings if you have that enabled and see if it still happens.
i did have an issue with giving root access to widget locker. the app would freeze, but once I did a reboot and tried again it worked. Now the only issue I have is I can not expand the notification window from the lockscreen. Never had an issue on stock GB, or using eclipse rom. but with CM7 i can not get to the notification window from the lockscreen.
oh oopsies sorry about the typo i just realized. anyways, i'll try the disabling root permissions when i get a chance. its comforting somehow to know that it's not just me
I have the same issue. Disabling the Root Helper fix it.
