Just thought I'd share a bit of personal experience.
Those of you who have root access in there devices may have noticed icons missing on there home screens. If you are wondering why this is due to using Titanium Backup to move apps to the SD card. This only happens with certain apps, usually only the ones that can't be moved from the devices settings. To fix this simply move said apps back to internal storage and all will be well.

Other "move 2 sd" apk
Not just Titanium,i use Link2SD and it's the same,or force apk not 2 work,or widgets,just restore apk 2 phone.
BTW some task killers 2 can force widgets not to work 2.
I haven't had much experience with other apps like Titanium cos I'm very new to smartphones and my Arc is the first REAL smartphone I've had. Thanks for your info. I really have so much to learn.

lost icons found
The homescreen loads before your SD card. To get your icons back;
go to SETTINGS...select ALL
select the launcher (in my case SENSE) and force close.
The launcher will restart and all your lost icons should reload properly.
i am having this trouble too
haha didnt knew what to do thnx guys.

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.

Organised Drawer on the market is the nearest I can think of.
It's more of an app drawer replacement I think, but will do the job.
You still can as far as i know...
From the app drawer: Menu Button -> Edit -> Drop applications onto "Add Folder" at bottom of screen -> Drop newly filled folder into app drawer.
I haven't used any gingerbread rom past KI3 so maybe something changed, but I just upgraded to ICS and the options is still there so i doubt it.
Can you not just touch and drag
An app over another one to create a folder?

On the ICS stock launcher home screen, yes. In the app drawer, no. In Touchwiz, no.
Isn't he using
Adw launcher?
Edit- NM I've just tried it doesn't work. What about trying go launcher ex I know that allows for folders and a lot more customisation.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yeah you might be right. I haven't used ADW EX since before the recent big updates though. Previously when I tried it folders weren't possible in the app drawer...
One of the major reasons I stuck with Touchwiz actually.
So after two whole days of owning this phone I'm on ics, but I want the ics icons I'm on nova launcher to rid myself of sense so can it be done without using a different launcher

Yes sir... Desktop Visualizer
It allows you to put icons on your Sd card and set them for any application you want... i believe there is also icon packs you can use for it
I got the ics theme for adw and long pressed and edited and that worked also.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
You can always go the longer route, if you want to change the icon throughout the entire rom. I use root explorer, extract the apk, replace the icon png, zip file, rename as apk, move back into system/apps. Reboot. I only do this on Sense so that I can still have the notification bubbles on stock apps (msgs, phone, task, etc)
I moved those apps to my SD Card.
And when I reboot it, the shortcuts disappear.
Is there a way to not make them disappear? (Please don't suggest moving them back to phone memory.)
I have Xperia Active.
Any help?
What launcher are you using?did you root your phone?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Stock Timescape Launcher.
And, yes. I'm rooted.
Use another great launcher.
Hi all,
Just wondering g if anyone can help.
For some reason yesterday my gallery started showing all homescreen apps as folders in the gallery. They all appear as single folders with 1 image, the app icon image. So now instead of the 2 or 3 folders I used to have I know have about 80!
Does anyone know how to fix this or what's caused it?
I'm using nova launcher pro if that makes a difference.

Its not really a fix but more a work around:
Download quickpic from the market and highlight the folders and select "hide" then they won't be visible in the normal gallery I think you can uninstall quickpic once they're hidden

Does it happen only with homescreen apps? I don't know nova launcher, maybe it keeps a cache with the images of homescreen apps.
Otherwise, do as indicated in the previous post, i've yet to find a better gallery than quickpick.
