App icons not showing - HTC EVO 3D

I'm pretty sure I've read about this in other threads, but the apps that I have on my SD card only have the generic Android app icon on the home screen and inside folders on home screen.
I read on Google that you can use an app called Fast Reboot and it would restart Sense, but when I run it, it says it restarted Sense but it didn't...
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem

go to personalize, then change the skin. Make sure you search before you post a new topic. Hope this helps though.

i found a way to fix it ...go to settings ....applications ....manage applications ...htc sense and then force stop the htc sense then press home ...sense will restart and the icons will show ...it worked for me

You know, I knew that would work but for some reason I just assumed that Sense wouldn't have been listed in the app list and just never bothered to actually check..... I feel stupid!
But thank you!

Well, I just did that..thing is, while it was blank I changed it to a diff app thinking it would switch back when I changed the screen. After the last update, I still have the other app I selected. My phone is still gone!
For me, i can still select phone for my lockscreen shortcuts, but its not in my app drawer. Should it be this way?
Seems like a PICNIC error to me.
I have the same issue. I did ALL the updates and my phone app is still missing,and yes I have been reading all the forums/blogs.

So for clarity, you have the phone shortcut available for lockscreen, but not in app drawer?
Go in to the settings where you can change which apps show. Select a different one then chose the phone again and it will show.

Cool thanks for that. It doesn't matter since the main sense button is phone anyway. I downloaded adw ex to see if the phone icon would show up in that app drawer and it did, so i imagine its just not supposed to be in the sense app drawer to avoid redundancy.

I think it's this...
I haven't done a single update and the phone isn't in my app drawer. I removed it from my lockscreen in favor of the flashlight (which, among other important things..htc didn't include).
I am having a few issues and since it looks like root is out of the question unless HTC miraculously keeps their promise .. I may just do all the OTAs.

You might as well, when root is found, or when HTC unlocks it, there will have been several more OTA's to worry about. Just enjoy the fixes for now. Just my input.

Yea you're right. If we ever do get root, it isn't gonna be anytime soon. I may as well get this thing as functional as possible.
I fixed the app missing by doing a reset. I was all up to date but the update didn't go into effext until I did a reset.
Sent from my 3vo
So I have done all the updates and today I did a hard reset on my phone. The phone icon was on my lockscreen until I changed some of the other icons. It is no longer there and I cannot select it either.
I am wondering if the small updates stick after a hard reset? I went to check for any updates and it says none available. Is there anyway to install the small updates manually from somewhere?
Edit....Just an FYI after I kept checking for updates, eventually the small app updates was available and now I got my phone icon back. So anyone who hard resets their device after the updates, make sure you keep checking for the small app update because it does not stick after a hard reset and it did not auto prompt me to do so either.

REBOOT PHONE FIRST...
Unzip the download, plug in your phone, and then click StartNow.bat
Hopefully I will have an update in the next couple of days that includes a Transparent App Drawer and other modifications.

I have Post-OTA and it works for me

so, how do I undo all this....
everything is force closing. I'm on Post-OTA, everything that was changed to blue icons (market, camera, calendar, music, etc. etc. etc.) force closes immediately.
how do I change it all back? is it as simple as rebooting hopefully?..
Reboot resets all fc problems. Not sure what happened. Will be removing all apps except rosie from this. Everything is fc'ing

yeah just found that out after I reset. I don't need any of the blue themed stuff, not much of a fan of blue anyways, but the transparent rosie would be nice to have!
EDIT: removed everything but the modded Rosie and idlescreen base. Worked for a while. But then everytime I hit Home button it says HTC Sense Force closed. So.... Yeah, nice start but too many issues right now. Looking forward to update to it though.
Yeah please, only the Transparent Rosie...
I think if you install the rosie only than install manual apps/widgets it should show what exactly is causing the DC. Be sure to do them 1 by 1

[Q] un-hide htc apps (mirror, car home, etc)

Unlocked and rooted now and I'm seeing all those htc apps in the system app folder. How do we get those to show in the app drawer?
Thanks and of course apologies if this has been asked, I searched.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I'm not rooted but I used an app called Any Cut to make shortcuts for hidden apps on my desktop. Apparently if you use ADW Launcher or Go Launcher they show up and are accessible.
Both ADWLauncher EX and LPP Plus show all the apps, I'm not sure why Sense doesn't .......

Just using es file explorer will let you create a shortcut.

So how would you do this??
I don't have ADW installed right now (I had to have my phone replaced) but when I did it showed a CAMCORDER icon in the app drawer that could be used as a home screen shortcut.
With the totally stock ROM etc, it doesn't show up anywhere but if you hit the search button & type in camcorder it shows the icon & opens & works fine.
How would you create a home screen shortcut for camcorder with the stock Sense ROM??

Really? Hidden apps?

Shortcuts are fine but I'm hoping to have them in the sense app drawer.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
someone posted a thread a while back saying something about a Sense config file that has all of the apps and whether they are to be shown or hidden. now that we have perm root i'm sure that we could modify that file now but i can't find the thread that talked about it.

Thanks. I just tried to remove the line referring to the mirror, but it's still hidden from the drawer. I might/might not try some more but in the meantime I'll have to use search option.

did you reboot after modifying it? you might have to, or you might have to clear the cache, or hell, you might have to do a data wipe before it takes effect
for us unrooted folk, how do we make shortcuts from ES?

That's good advice. I'm not home now but I did reboot. Clearing cache sounds like a good attempt. I'm going to be trying that!
Clearing cache wasn't enough.. I'll be trying data wipe later.
And.... Clearing cache and data wipe was a no go. Already had to do a restore and it's nice to know CWMs workin

[Q] [HELP] Problem with GO Launcher EX

I recently installed Go Launcher on my HTC Evo 3d, and I notcied that when I play games, the touch controls are behaving strangely. For example, if pushing right arrow to move my character in an NES emulator, if I press the a or b button on the other side of the screen, my character will stop moving right. It's a very strange issue and it affects all games I have tried. Haven't been able to find any help online. Thoughts or suggestions?
Not go launchers fault.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Could you expand on that at all? I don't have the problem when I'm not using Go Launcher.
Uninstall GoLauncher EX would be your best bet. I don't see why you should go out of your way to install faulty launchers on your phone.
Yeah, I have. I just want to use it because it seems to have a lot of really cool themes for it. I used ADW launcher but Go launcher is far better.

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.
