Just picked up my Droid incredible and noticed every time I unlocked it I would see a weather animation across the screen. Anyone know hoe to take that off?

under weather setting .
I set it to update automatically and then when I go back into settings its unchecked. So it won't stay on

different roms have their on/off buttons in different places for the animations. go under programs and see if there is a widget that turs off and on the animations. if not there try the settings tab, lastly try the settings tab on the weather tab.
I accidentally chose the wrong gallery to chose to view my pictures does any one knows how to change it so I can pick they one I want

Settings - Applications - Manage Applications. Find the Gallery that you selected and choose it. Now click "Clear Defaults". Next time it should ask you what app you want to use to open the picture
Hahaha yeah I Eventually found it but thanks for the response

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

No need, crashes and reloads often enough itself, lol.

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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
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.

First off, are you using a launcher, do you have any wallpaper on your phone?

I've had this problem. First you need the original gallery app, 'com.cooliris.media'. Then you will need to reboot to cwr and fix permissions.

I'm using the apex launcher and I can set desktop wallpaper with it

as stated, you must have either frozen or deleted stock gallery apk. Extract it and use root explorer and replace it, or try downloading and installing quickpic. It may show up and allow you to select a wallpaper.
