i fixed it ... i had the same problem ... when choosing a picture for an icon use the stock gallery app... i had different file managers, so when ever i chose "select image from sd card" it gave me the file managers and the gallery, i used the file managers, so there for it didnt work ... i had to choose the pic from the gallery not a file manager ... hope that helped
Did you resolve this? I ran into this and found that OI File Manager allows me to select and use the new image.
Before resolving this, I was using Astro which returned blank icons or none.

How do you make it so that the "green globe" browser icon will launch a different browser? For example, if I want to use Firefox 4 Beta, but want to retain the "green globe" icon on my main dock but have it launch Firefox when I tap that, how do I do that?
I recall the browser once asking me what I wanted my default browser to be. I don't know how to clear that or reset it so it asks again. I've tried settings and clearing cache, etc. Doesn't seem like I can clear the "launch by default" option in the app settings. It's faded out. Can't even do anything in that section.
Help?
Settings. Applications. Manage applications. Click browser. Clear defaults.

The green browser icon will always launch the default browser unless you use a custom launcher like adw where you can change the icon of Firefox to the green globe.

Right. I was hoping there was a more 'official' way to do it. Okay, thanks.
You could edit the PNG inside the Firefox apk - I know it can be done but I don't really have knowledge of it. Perhaps search for PNG editing?
Edit: Didn't see that you wanted to use the stock Launcher and make firefox the one that launches from the dock. I'm pretty sure that's impossible without some deep deep coding.
If you open the apk with winrar or7zip it will leave the file signed and zipped but you will be able to edit images within the file. open the res folder and find a firefox icon. Replace it with a globe and the icon should change.
I'll actually try this in a few minutes to see how possible it is. If it works I'll post the modified apk

I changed the icon and while it is clear it has been changed (you can see it in the installation window) it wouldn't install. Next I tried overwriting the standard apk with the modified one and that only resulted in making the entire app disappear on reboot. I attached the modified apk in case someone else wants to try but I'm throwing in my towel.
EDIT: Odd, it didn't actually attached my file so here is a download link
If you are willing to use a third party launcher, I can attach the gingerbread dock background as well as the stock icons so you can achieve the same effect.

i wonder if anyone has this problem. Android creates a shortcut whenever I move the app from app drawer to the desktop. however, for some reasons, some of the app shortcuts are gone! they are replaced with default android icons...
I can fix this problem by deleting this default icon and drag the app from app drawer to the desktop again. but the same problem comes back after i restart the phone... what's going on?
Are you using stock sense or an alternative launcher?

Hello, I have the very same problem (on top of the touch screen issues and rainbow artifacts on some widgets...).
What I do is that after reboot I switch the scene to an empty one, load it and then come back to the sense scene where all my icons are (personalize, scene, apply). It works for me.

yeah it's a sense problem. It tries to load the icons when the SD card is not mounted yet and doesn't retry later.
You have to make sense reload. Changing the theme does that. Dis- or enabling any htc widget with titanium backup causes a sense reload as well.
Thanks for the solution.I was also having the same problem...

Yep. I got it with Desktop Visualizer (use it for renaming apps with long names e.g Dolphin Browser HD). I found out it's because the app is installed on SD.
I came across something odd. I download a wallpaper image and went into ES File Explorer to move it to my wallpaper folder. It moved successfully but when I go into gallery and into my wallpaper folder it doesn't show it in there. I downloaded QuickPic and checked that folder and it's in there. I don't know why gallery isn't showing it.
Anyone else have this problem? Can someone try adding an image from one folder or the download folder to a different folder and see if it shows up in Gallery please?

How long has it been since you copied/moved the file? It sometimes takes a while before the Gallery pics it up, or you might try to reboot and see if it picks it up that way (although you shouldn't have to).
Did that as you told, but not showing photos
I too have that problem

Hey mate... i too have that problem...
Here's what i know,
I'm running ICS on xperia play r800x doomkernel
The problem occured when i used a gallery lock app to lock photos from my DCIM/camera folder... the photos were successfully locked.
But today my gallery lock app showed 0 photos!! when i checked the phone gallery, the pictures were'nt there either.
I used the recover tool within the gallery lock app to get back my photos and videos but here starts my problem. It recovered every one of my ppics but it would not show up on my ICS Gallery. I use ES explorer to handle data.
i tried moving the folder to sd card root with no joy...
Here is something even more wierd... this one just stumped me!!!
when i connected my phone in mtp mode, every folder shows up except the one containing those files in sd root....
So my conclusion is that the problem lies with the files themselves and not the gallery app....
in fact, in my opinion ICS Gallery is the best gallery app that androids can have! It updates in real time... As i said, the problem is with the files.
Now we need to find a way to fix them...!

Just did exactly as you did, DL'd the pic, moved it with ES from downloads to my wallpaper folder then opened gallery and it was right there. Running viperx.
Hey guys, I hope someone here can help with this. I'm running Viper 3.1.0 and I've installed the Google JFK icon pack, which I love. However, the camera and music icon do not change when I apply the icon set. I know there is a way to go into the apk or system, and rename something so that the icon will apply, I am just unsure of what to rename, and to what. Thank for any help!

Editing the icon apk is not an easy process so here is the quickest way to fix your problem.
I'm assuming you are using Apex or Nova Launcher.
Download Icons attached to your sd card
Long press the Icon you wish to change
Select Edit
Tap the icon image in the pop up
Tap select picture (Apex) gallery (nova)
Navigate to the image you downloaded to your sd card
Select it
Done
I'm actually using the stock sense launcher, Rosie. That's one of the few features I wish Viper had that it doesn't, it the ability to further customize individual icons.

I don't know what im talking about, but wouldn't you have to decompile the APK, replace the icon png, and then recompile for each application?

Technically speaking, yes. But I have just renamed the .apk to .zip and edited stuff, then changed it back to .apk.. And it worked. Lol

Could anyone let me know if, when you put several apps into one one folder on your homescreen - say all your games into a single folder, is this folder then saved as a file in the device's storage and can it then be located on Astro File Manager or any file managers? And if so where is the folder located?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Kev
Whatever launcher you are using will store this information, either way in a shared_pref xml or more likely am sqlite database file. For instance, on CM10.1, which uses trebuchet as the default launcher, it's in /data/data/com...trebuchet/databases/launcher.db
Not super accessible, but yes it is "saved" somewhere on your device, but really this is just a list of the apps you placed in your home screen folder, not a folder of apps in the conventional sense.

Thanks for the help. Would you have any idea where it would be located if I'm using AOKP and Nova Launcher? Basically all I'm trying to do is to create a new homescreen icon using Desktop Visualizer to open my app folders. I've seen ways to do it using other apps such as Simi folder but I'd prefer to have the stock Android interface when you open the folder. I've noticed with Desktop Visualizer, when selecting what to launch, you can open something from the file manager and so I'm hoping I can use this as a way to open my App folders - if I can locate them.
Any other ideas are very welcome! Thanks again
