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.

using launcherpro plus on a htc desire running on cm6.
everytime i reboot my phone, icons inside folders(i have a Games folder which i put all my games on) would change to the default green droid icon.
its only for the apps that i store on my SD card.
anyone know a fix to this? or is there some setting?
just started on android so not 100% sure, but I noticed that when you reboot the phone it takes a few seconds to mount the sd card even though launcher pro has loaded. Try storing just the icons themselves on the phone memory and when creating the shortcuts select a custom icon, ie the ones from phone memory and you should be sorted.
It will happen everytime you restart. All you have to do is restart launcher pro and your custom icons are back...

if i store icons on phone memory, it works fine. the icons dont change even after reboot. its when i put on SD Card, and then i do a reboot, the icons will change to the standard green/white droid guy.
and the problem is only for icons withing FOLDERS. if i put the apps outside of folders, they wont have this problem even if they're stored on the SD card.
so what you're trying to say is, store them on the phone, then create a shortcut to a custom icon, and put them in the folder, then put them back to SD card? i'll give that i try.

yea that works, i guess ill have to do that each time i reboot then. so whats the best way of doing this.
So far i have launcher pro set as default and eveyrtime i boot up , i go to manager applications > laucher pro > force stop
then it should be restarted. is this the right way of restarting it? it seems to work. i just dunno if theres an easier/simpler way of doing this.

From your homescreen:
* Hit Menu key
* Select Preferences
* Scroll to the bottom of the list
* Select "Restart LauncherPro"
probably has something to do with the memory settings, try playing with it?
I'm running CM7 RC1-BACKside-IHO-KANG on my Optimus V. The problem is my phone won't remember defaults such as which music player is default. I prefer GO Launcher over ADW launcher, but setting as default never holds. Also if I shut off or replace the battery (which I do frequently) things such as alarms go back to initial settings and not what I set, and I lose widgets. Is there a way I can resolve these issues?
Also trying to download and install new apps like youtube, I get a not sufficent memory fail. I've move ALL apps to my SD card and I have almost 68% internal memory available. Any way around this?
Thanks
I responded to the same problem reported in a different phone sub forum, but figured I'd add it here since the HTC Hero has a relatively slow processor and is ripe for running into it.
The problem:
Install a new launcher and configure it as desired
Reboot
Discover default launcher is no longer set
Manually specifying the new launcher again shows all widgets appearing as an error
I thought this undesirable behavior was due to partially corrupt system data. I installed another ROM, from scratch, rebuilt it to my specifications, then added a different launcher once again (different one this time). Rebooting resulted in the default lost and also all widgets showing with an "error loading widget" message in their place.
I finally figured out what was going on. It's because I had selected the option "move to SD card" as the default when installing applications. So, the launcher was on the SD card. Well, this creates a problem with timing, because the SD card is prepared a little later on in the boot process, after the required time to load the launcher. The result? Android draws up the default launcher. And for some reason, the older launcher ends up compromised with some of its default settings.
Once I moved my launcher app back to phone memory, the problem went away.
im having a little bug since yesterday.
after every reboot the shortcuts for 3rd party apps like whatsapp, es file explorer etc . dissappear from my home screen. however walkman, play store won't.
i place the missing ones again but they dissappear again on next reboot.
how to solve this?
EDIT: i searched a bit, maybe its been caused due to moving them to internal storage. but they don't appear even after 10 minutes.
it did not happen ever before even when the apps were on the internal storage.
Hi, I have recently updated my samsung galaxy s6 to android 5.1.1, since updating, my launcher, apex pro isn't showing the icons within a folder on my home screen any more, its basically a folder that contained all my game apps.
I assume the issue was apex in someway maybe not being fully compataible with 5.1.1 but im not sure?
Th odd thing is, when i open tap the game folder, even though its all blank with no icons, they do seem to be there, but just invisible, if i tap where i know apps used to be in the folder, they do actually stop open, which is odd.
I have tried deleting the folder then doing a restore in apex but the same thing happens.
Also since updating to 5.1.1 some screens have also been a little laggy and my home screen was just black at one point and just showing the notification section / time but everything else was black and wouldn't go off, i had to restart phone to get it back to normal.
Can anyone offer any help?
Thanks

same on mine. I just let it be.. and now it does not have any lag. it fixed itself.
Hmmm...maybe Apex Launcher is not yet fully compatible with Android 5.1.1.
