Everytime I reboot my icons change to the green uploading icons and not to the normal ones. I have to manually remove them and add them again. Another thing i've notices is once in a while distorted horizontal lines appear across some apps. They will not go away most of the time unless I reboot.?
Sometimes my widgets get colored lines in it and i have to reboot to. My.contacts app disappear and turn into to people app all on its on til i reboot. Hope they fix these issues but no updates in site tmobile and phone companies have bad service.

I have the same problem but it only happens with a few specific games every time. It's annoying but I've just stopped fixing it and leave them as the android icon.
Mine was doing this for SD installed apps... Solved in the last update however...
Change the theme and back to restore the icons... marginally better than deleting and re-adding
You could also change the language, go to the main page, change the language back to what is was and it'll solve the problem.
move the apps that are loosing it's icons from sd to internal memory.
few of my games were doing this on reboot.
soon as I moved them to internal, no more problems.
kinda sucks that we can't take advantage of app2sd feature that comes with some of apps but until we get an update that fixes this bug, this is the only sure way I've found.

Yep, that fixed it after a restart. Why do some games install on the phone and some on SD? There doesn't seem to be any consistency.

I don't think apps install on the SD unless specified. As for the icons changing on reboot. This has been a problem on Android since apps to SD was implemented.

I'm having the same problem as well with my game icons.
That worked, Thanks!
My Facebook app on my main screen does the same thing -- I do have it moved to the SD card. Randomly the correct icon/logo appears on it, but most of the time it's the generic Android icon. I've learned to live with it -- maybe they'll fix it someday.
My icons return after a reboot, when I turn the phone off/on.
Got a 5 min wait for new user to post...

I tried this and it didn't work, until I realized that there were two Sense applications running and I killed the wrong one...D'oh!
I tried to force stop HTC sense and dashboard.... none of this worked.
So I tried changing the theme and IT WORKED!!!! When I restored my previous theme, all the icons went back to normal.
This the easiest non-frustrating method. From time to time, my phone crashes and restarts by itself and all my icons would change.
Has anyone tried using Rom Manager and run "fix permissions" with any luck?

It is not a permissions issue. It is quite simple.. the desktop icons are loaded before the sd card is mounted and accessible so it can't load the icons and won't retry later. Causing sense to reload in any way after the SD card is mounted will reload the icons. Changing themes works. Killing sense to force a reload works. Using titanium backup to freeze/unfreeze any of the sense Widgets works. I'm sure there are plenty more ways of making sense reload

Hi
I've flashed LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3 on to my Desire HD and flashed V5 HTC Sense 3.0 All in 1.
The problem I have is that the lock ring wont select the shortcuts on the lock screen!!?
Can anyone help please?
Hey. Sorry if this is an obvious solution. You need to drag the app into the ring and not the other way. Try this and see if it works. Otherwise am not sure what the problem is.

Haha. I'm a complete muppet!! Very embarassed right now ....
Thanks for that, works like a charm!
Running SkyIcs since Base4 update 8. One thing that has carried throng all updates till the current 13ish is that on contacts / recent calls tab, clicking on the contact image opens up a quickview list of available numbers. These are black on black and hard to read, would be great if this could be fixed or back to stock colors. On the same note the rendering of the 'phone' icon when any contact is opened looks out of place (white box with a central black strip and a blue phone icon).
Is there any easy way to change the contact icons or colors back to stock?
Please see the link below for pics. Had been asked in q&a but no clear directions for the fix.

Wish I could help, but I'm having the same problem.

From what I can tell it's related to the phone.apk (dialer), when I flashed the KOBALT theme the issue went away as the contacts and phone are themed with a transparent background. I didn't like the dialer as it didn't have the contacts tab in it as with Seanz's rom, so I over wrote the apk's to get back to the dialer and the problem returned.

Wish I had the know how to did into the dialer and stuff.. guess we need to wait till the dialer is fixed in the stock ROM. My understanding is that the same issue exists on the stock.. many folks have tried flashing multiple ROMs hoping to fix this but all ROMs based on the latest leak had this issue. Wonder if anything can be ported from the T Mobile S2 Ics from today.

Hi there!
Guys, I'm trying to replace the standard Dialer (Phone) with GO Dialer EX.
I've downloaded GO Contacts EX and when asked set GO Dialer EX by default. Now when I tap on Phone shortcut GO Dialer EX starts - everything is ok.
But when I'm trying to launch Phone from Lock screen the standard Dialer starts instead of expected GO Dialer EX.
How to fix it?
Thank you very much!
P.S. To figure out the problem more clearly I made a video. But due to I'm a newbie here I'm not allowed to post an YouTube link, so the video is attached.

ViperS ROM has a feature to change lockscreen shortcuts. I don't know how they managed to do it though. You can ask the devs in Viper thread, maybe they can help

Change lockscreen shortcuts by changing the shortcuts on the bottom of the homescreens (the shortcuts to the left and right of the icon that brings up the app drawer)
