Hi there!
I think I discovered a bug, which as I can see occurs also to other none Sensation phones.
When I put a shortcut on the mainscreen, from an app which I installed on the SD-Card, after a reboot or shutdown the app Logo is replaced by the standard Android Logo and I can't start the app via the shortcut anymore. I have to delete it and then place the app again from the app-drawer on the mainscreen to get it work again.
Does someone else experience the same problem?
Cheers
Yeah that's happened to me too.

I've experienced the first part where the android icon is displayed until the contents of the SD card are loaded ... it takes a minute and then the normal app icon is loaded

How many minutes does it take exactly? Because I didn't wait longer than maybe 2 or 3 minutes.
I think I'll send an e-mail to HTC to let them know about this problem.

it's a common problem. nothing to worry about.
When android phones first bootup and icon is status bar says sd is preparing, during this time the icon for apps on sd is incorrect, but should be fixed once sd is prepared by OS.
SD card bug
I'm having the same issue, picked up the Sensation yesterday. It doesn't matter how long you wait, the apps never recover. You have to remove the icons from the home screen. Plus apps that use a database stored on the SD will not work continuously, such as Touchdown from Nitrodesk. Other than this highly annoying bug, its a nice phone.
is this a common issue? i know that the OS has to mount the SD card and wait for a bit, but i waited all day and the icons are still screwed up. i had the G2 and had apps on the sd card and they load up fine after a few minutes.
would this be caused by the type/class of sd card? i have a 16gb class 10. the apps load up fine just the icons all look the same

Same here. On my wildfire it changes back to normal. But my sensation doesnt change back.
Have you reported this to TMO and HTC? Any response?
Yep, happens all the time. The recent update didn't resolve it.
There's a workaround however - you don't need to re-create the shortcut or anything, just go to Settings->Applications->Manage->All, scroll to HTC Sense (there would be two, we need the first one with a clock as a logo) and force close it. Press Home, HTC Logo appears, bam! Your icons are back. Highly annoying.

well its not the fone issue nor sd card...its app compatibility issue... most apps were designed for froyo...but now running them on 2.3.3 they waork on sd-card as well but their shortcuts do not identify them after restart coz they do not have exact icon update path...its an appp issue ...till its resolved plz keep apps on fone....do not worry u need to work hard to finish 1 gig by apps....and plz dt ever think apps on fone mk it slower...use advance task killer as well....
im just going to put the apps on the phone instead of sd card...until htc does an update, because when i used the gingerbread custom rom on the g2 it had no problem putting apps on sd card.
yeah happens to me too. Just kill sense to force it to reload and that fixes it ... until the the next reboot
Hey everyone, I was using the Pulse app and had the widget for a few days. The other day my phone kinda froze and rebooted. When it came back on the widget was no longer there. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but now there is no widget option... Was this some sort of update and they got rid of the widget for now or is something going wrong here? Happen to anyone else? Thanks!
This happened to me when I did not move the Pulse app from the SD card to the phone. That should be all that you need to do. You may need to now reinstall the app if it can no longer be found on your phone. Make sure to reboot your phone after moving the Pulse app to the phone from the SD card.
(Settings, Applications, Manage applications, On SD card, click the Pulse app, click the Move to phone button, reboot the phone.)
Hey! I have my SGY. My problem is that when every time I restart my phone or remove the sdcard, the menu apps are rearranged by itself randomly. I have found a thread that is also like this. It says that it needs to clear the TwLauncher but I can't find it in the settings(manage apps>all). Is there a solution of this? Tnx.
Use another home launcher...I recommend GO Launcher Ex cause it's faster and smoother than TW Launcher...it also has an option to backup your icon arrangements...so no worries if the same thing happens...just restore your settings...if you still insist on using TW Launcher, go settings>applications>manage applications>all>Tw Launcher (maybe called Samsung Home...not too sure)...then click it and press clear data to reset your TW Launcher settings...
I also tried it. I clear its data and then I arrange the apps but after I restart my phone, the apps is rearranged again. Is there anything I need to do or install? Please explain briefly cause I'm a noob. But thanks for that info.
And I just want the default launcher of my phone(samsung home). Is it possible to solve my problem without using another launcher? HELP.
I'm afraid not...cause you must have a lot of apps in your SD card...it may help to allow media scanning to complete every time you reboot or remove SD card...allow all files to be loaded...don't interrupt the process...it this still doesn't work, I sorry to say it's TW Launcher's problem...
How can I fix it?
Hello to all. I have bought a new SD card for my phone. I have copied (or thought i did) everything from the old SD to the new one and now i see that all of the apps that were installed on the old one are shown as they are located on the new one but they do not work. Their icons are shown with an SD icon on them and when i long press on them the only option that shows is to move them on the home screen. When i press once on them it says that the app is located on the SD but it can't work. Now i am stacked with an app drawer full of inactive icons that i want to remove. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thank you all

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Maybe this post will help
This happens because the apps that disappear are on MicroSD. When booting the phone the launcher starts before the SD card is scanned. so the launcher doesn't sees the apps and thinks they are missing.
So what you have to do is the following, force close the launcher. you can do the following:
settings>Applications>Manage applications>all>Home (launcher) > and press "Force stop"
this will relaunch the SE home and all the apps will be back

Every time I reboot, some of my app icons disappear from my home screen and I have a to manually put them back to where they belong. I've noticed that only the apps that are stored on my SD card (adoptable storage) are effected. I am currently running CM 13 Nightlies with the Squid Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/201...ment/kernel-squid-kernel-moto-g-2015-t3215726) but it has been occurring when on the default kernel as well. I don't want to just move all my apps to internal storage because I have a lot of them with 16 GB of internal. Thanks for any help!
I have the same problem.
Even worse - some icons disappear from the list of apps too. The one I noticed is Pixlr-o-matic - when I tap the middle button (the list of all apps), usually the icons from SD card which after reboot disappear from the screen could be found here, but Pixlr-o-matic disappears even there. However Google Play Store says the app is installed and gives me the "open" button which really opens the app, so the app is still on the phone.
So is there such a thing like forcing the launcher to re-scan all apps and validate the icons again?
Thanks
Moto G 3rd, with default Marshmallow rom from Motorola/Virgin Mobile/whatever it is (I mean I didnt modified the phone in any way pretty much)
I had a similar experience when I tried switching between the Google Launcher and Nova Launcher. Nearly all my app icons disappeared. I have no clue why. To fix I restored a TWRP back up and stopped switching launchers.
