So today one of my apps disappeared from my home screen, and I noticed it had also disappeared from the app drawer. I also had some apps in a folder on my home screen, and deleted the folder, and now all those apps have disappeared. They are still installed on my phone, but the only way to open them seems to be to search for them in the market, and use the open button that it provides.
None of these apps are installed on my sd card, only internal storage. I'm completely stock, with the stock TW launcher.
Anyone know what's going on and how to fix this? I have of course tried rebooting, and clearing the cache from these apps.
Thanks!
I've had the same thing happen to a couple different apps.
I'm on DaG's overclocked kernel, TPC Rom V2, and ADW EX Launcher.
My widgets keep doing that randomly

Theres gotta be some sort of cache somewhere that the app drawer uses to maintain a list of all of the installed applications. Gotta be some way to force it to rebuild it.
Or maybe not. I bet uninstalling and reinstalling the program would fix it.
Clear dalvik in recovery should work.

Will this effect anything else we should know about before doing it?

Some how I now have 2 gallery icons in my app drawer and they both open the gallery. Using root explorer I went into system/app and I only see 1 galler.apk. How can I remove one?

Did you flash anything or try and add another gallery?
I just restored a Nandroid and thats basically about it. I have no idea why I have 2 icons now. I can only find 1 gallery.apk. Any ideas on how I can remove one of the icons or is this just a freak thing.
If you go to manage applications, menu, filter, show all... Are there two galleries? If so, delete one and reboot. If this does not work, hopefully someone else can chime in. do two show in titanium backup batch?
nice profile pic
Are you going on the cruise?
I know this has happened to me before when I flashed a ROM without a clean wipe on MT3G
Ok when I go to applications, manage then filter all it only shows one gallery there. Driving me crazy lol

I've been unexpectedly losing some of my apps on reboots.

What ROM? Are you using the SD flip flop? Which Launcher? This sort of thing has seemed to happen to me before, because almost all of my apps are on the sd card. The launcher/app drawer app loads before the stuff on the sd card, and it looks like apps are gone, but still show under menu->applications. Restart your launcher, see if that helps

Running eclipse v.06, with ADW launcher. And unless the SD flip is built into the ROM, I haven't flashed that modification

It is. I have an app or two disappear every now and then, but it's just GO Launcher being finicky. It's still there, I just need to restart the launcher and it shows up.

OK this is a new one on me. All I did was flash a deodexed rom and now for some reason I have lost my Browser icon/shortcut. Now it gets even weirder, it is only missing from TouchWiz. I have installed GoLauncher and it shows up there. Now I know that I could just continue to use GoLauncher but the fact that I can't get the Browser launch shortcut to show up in TouchWiz bugs me. Would anyone be kind enough to explain where I screwed up?
What replaced it? If it's still in the apps drawer, you can put it back in. Apps drawer-menu-view type-customizable grid-menu-edit.
Nope, not in the app drawer or in the dock. Nothing replaced it. The browser.apk is still located in the system/app folder however it just does not show up anywhere when running TouchWiz.

Check for app called "Web" instead of Browser
There is no app in the dock or drawer called web or internet or browser or anything with a globe as an icon. It is for some reason just not visible in TW.

Have you tried reflashing, or even restarting?
I just rooted amd installed Cm7 yesterday amd its awesome except for the facts that I can't find Widgets I download from the market. I long press the screen select Widgets amd there just not there. Even Widgets that come with apps such as advanced task killer don't show up. The Widgets I can use are the ones that came with the rom. Can anyone help me out here?

Assuming you followed the instructions and wiped everything and didn't restore any system data...
Apps installed to the sdcard can present widget problems such as this.
Other than that, reboot or restart your launcher.
Change any settings from stock install?
Ohh I changed the settings to put all apps I download on my SD. I was unaware that you couldn't use Widgets they were on the SD. I switched it back to automatic amd it works great now. Thanks for taking the time amd helping me out helping me out.

I was wanting to know the way to replace the system phone/contacts with rocketdial? I've tried this before,by deleting system phone and contacts thru TB but got tons of FCs.

you dont need to delete anything install app and then change phone and contact shortcuts icons in your home screen by the ones of the app
howver you can use system contacts if you want and after install the app if you go to a contact and press to make a call it will ask you wich dialer you want to use by definition you mark the box and choose app dialer and thats it...
i try it, before post sorry for my english but dont delete those apps from system the solution is right there.
just press thanks if i help you
Hi...
I am currently using Neko95 GingerSnap, and, since i tried MIUI, i loved the UI, i use ExDialer.
When i missed a call, the notification only disappear (automatic) if i open the stock app.
I Linked exdialer to ex partition of sd, rebooted and converted to sys app (Link2SD).
You still have the stock apps, but they are small...
The next thing that i will try, after consult the community if it works, is to, before flash, exchange the stock apps for the ones that i will use... (if someone that reads this can tell, please...)
With best regards, Shaib Lftg
Are you talking about extracting the rom than replace the phone and contacts apk with the dialer and contacts you plan on using ie...rocket dial and renaming it to phone.apk and vice versa

I don't like the idea of having multiple applications which have the same function on my phone... ie...
Stock browser-dolphin browser, stock mms-go SMS pro..you get the picture...
