Home screen quick link icon problem

Hey guys,
I have a small issue with the icons for my quick link programs on my home screen.
If I change the icon in the start menu, it won't update on the quick link. So I'm stuck with the old icon on my quick link, and the new icon in my start menu.
Any ideas on how to fix it? I'm using JWMD Icon Changer to change the icons.

the same for me!

If some Icons still the same after Restart. Prefer clearing HTC Sense's icon cache. Go to your Device's \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher Folder and delete all the *.bmg files inside. These are icon caches that will be recreated upon next boot.
And if that not helps you. Eraser85 found a solution for this! He found that if you try to use a custom icon which have the same filename of one of the images found in \Windows then Manila will always load that instead of your customized one! 90% of my Icons Have the Same Name. In order to easily fix the problem, just rename your icon. This bug affects ONLY manila, therefore in the start menu everything will look fine BUT in the Homescreen you will always have the original icon!

Lost HTC Icon 'Themes' on HTC HD2

Hope someone can help ? In my start menu, I've 'lost' the icon themes for HTC People, HTC Music, HTC Calendar and HTC Twitter. Each icon now simply appear like default Blue Framed Folders. The applications work fine when clicked. If I delete the icons, shut down and restart, they simple reappear incorrectly ?
No idea what I've done !! ? Hope this makes sense ?!
Help !

I've got a similar issue. I have a two 'People' and 'Music' Icons apprearing and the second copy of these also apprears as a blue framed folder.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, is this a bug and is there a fix?

I've got the same problem, after installing the Puremind BG4alltabs&16 shortcuts.cab deleting the cab won't restore the HTC icons

Same problem here after i installed Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab
after the first restart not only the htc icons were doubled ia also lost the icons of my custom created shortcuts bu they reappeared after deleting and recreating the shortcuts.
But the doubled htc shortcuts are not deletable they reapear after every reboot....

I've got this issue as well, also after installing Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (to get the additional quick links).
Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome.

Moved as not theme release.

mine did the same thing all you have to do is go to settings then security the factory reset.......just make sure when you do it you save all of your information to your memory card because it will delete everything thats on the device.

Isn't there another solution than just doing a factory reset ?
Maybe someone can upload the original icons here. I would expect the problem to be resolved if we then just copy those original icons back into the windows folder.

I had the same problem on my TP2 a while back, no solution other than a H-Reset

still no solution?
too bad. i hate reset it.

Solution on this thread... Sort of...

Gets rid of the icons being reproduced all together.

please upload all of the icons here. thanks in advance =)

Can't get all Icons changed.. really not
Sorry to grab here but I tried in other threads and other forums but anyone had a solution for me.
I deleted all the Quicklinks on Homescreen, installed Diniks Anastasia set by cab file, cleared the ProgLauncher. In the Start Menu all Icons are showing roght but only about 40% of the Icons come on right on the Homescreen.
I look in Icon changer but there also all icons are showing correct. I long pressed on every Icon and said "hide default icon".. but no change to those that will not show on Homescreen.
By looking inside de Proglauncher Folder I remarked that all the icons that work are listed there, but not those that will not show correctly.. why that?
Any help, suggestions? Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase?

you have to create a theme with iconchanger, after you have to go in the folder programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name" and , with a file explorer,(program like rescoexplorer are better!!) rename the icon of the program was showed uncorrectly in your homescreen quicklink, after go in jwdm iconchanger , holdtap the program icon you want to change, programs\iconchanger\themes\"your_theme_folder_name"\"your_icon_you_have_just_renamed" .. afther this reclear the proglauncher folder and all is fine! -- for correct homescreen quicklink softreset is not needed, is needed for start menu only.

Wow, really something new.. gonna triy this tonight. I'll give feedback.. thanks a lot..!

Couldn't wait and tried on the spot. Seems to work out really fine. Thanks for that simple way that even I can understand
Those Icons not showing in Icon Changer I still have to double in .. argh which folder was that again .. does this stay the same to show them?

I did as you said and it would work out.. and now the big BUT:
Some of the links in Windows\Startmenu\Programs are organized in subfolders, for instance folder "tools", as in the Startmenu itself. Icon Changer can obviously NOT SEE INTO subfolders, for it does not list those links, even if copied and pasted. Only if copied to Windows\Startmenu\Programs (one directory up) it is recognized, but of course it does too change place in Startmenu itself, so that's not what I want.
Question: Why can't my Icon Changer (latest version 26b) not see the links in subfolders, for I think that this is common in all standard Roms????
And what do I do to be able to change those Icons..?

CSMI can help
Ok, I could solve this problem by just using other software.. CSMI helped me out, this one even shows which links lie in a folder.

thank u for ur effort ,but still a little problem with the weather switch icon,in the quicklink,im using CSMI but i cant locate it to make the change

[REQ] Icons for URL-Files on Home Screen - how to keep them permanently...

Hi,...
I am looking for a solution to modify the Icons of *.url-files permanently.
Why?
I copied some spezial url-files ("DHL", "Doodle",... my kind of "Apps" ;-) to
the startmenu, and linked them on hometab.
There is a direct way for favorites (I know), but with URL-files in Startmenu it is also possible to change the single Icons with JWMD....
and with "url2Opera" it works perfectly, but...
...after some soft-Resets the Icons disappear and the original Icon gets back...
I already cleared the WinMo-Icons-Cache, and in JWMD the modified icons are still shown....
Has Anyone an idea how to solve this properly?
Thanks!

I am testing a "solution" now
Like told in my first post, i copied the url-files into the startmenu...
Now, I keep them in der favorites-folder, and only copy a shortcut into the startmenu...
Now i got a real *.lnk - file, maybe it works better now...
But, anyway, if somebody has an idea????
...

Quick Link icons not changing

I have changed all my icons, as most people here have, and for some reason 2 quick link programs wont show the new icons I have applied. They have changed in the strat menu, just not in quick links. I have deleted the icon cache from application data program launcher, rebooted, tried to re-apply icon, re-add program to quick link...nothing.
The 2 programs are NaviPanel and CoPilot.
As I said, in Startmenu they have updated with the new icon fine, just not here...any one else have simialar problems or solutions?
btw, I am using Cookies home tab, but this happens even without it.

For COPILOT try to rename your new icon in "splashscreen"
For NAVIPANEL try to rename your new icon in "NaviPanel"
than try again to change the icon.

Whenever I change icons I have to delete all files in Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher (*.bmg files) and restart.
So: Change icons, delete chache, restart.

Going from what philo69 said, rename the icon to match the programs .exe file.
Also, try delete the cache in: Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher re 'flush' the icon cache out.

Silly question, where do you put new icons? Want a new one for iGO 8
