I have this problem with my apps icons: after I install an app, everything is ok, but in a while, the icon dissappears and i have only the green android robot icon. if i press it, the application will run normally. it is to say than not all the apps have this. i have some apps with normal icons.
Hello,
Did you install these apps you lost on SD card. Or did you move them using a program to put your apps to SD? That is i think your problem.

I have a Motorola Droid, and I have rooted and installed CM 6 on the phone, I have some widgets, including the Power widget, and whenever I restart my phone, all of the widgets have the semi-transparent box with the words "problem loading widget". Is there anything I am supposed to do to make sure this doesn't happen, or is it a problem anybody else is having?
Do you have power widget on sd card, if so will have to move to internal storage or that will happen everytime restart phone

Thanks for the quick reply, my power widget was on the phone memory, but I use launcherpro, which was on the ad card, and switching that to the phone memory fixed my problem. Thanks in you for your help

I noticed this too and came to the forums for an answer, however I found my own answer.
I believe it's related to the apps with data stored on your SD card. When your phone boots up it takes awhile to check the SD card, by that time it's already checked for the icons for the programs in your games folder.
A quick solution is to hit the personalise button, then the first option marked Scene, change the scene, change it back and you get your icons back without having to drag them back out
Had the same problem, for me closing the folder and reopening it solved the problem, but it is a pain!

You can also reload your launcher as well. If your HTC Incredible S is stock, just kill HTC Sense. It will restart automatically.

This is exactly what I do. This issue exists both in froyo and gingerbread.

I am using 2.3.3
the mobile is always out of memory and restart the launcher except the original one
after playing games, internet browsing or youtube, the launcherpro must be restarted
Anyone can help to solve this?
Are apps running in the background?

Try using GO launcher EX instead. . . In the app drawer there is an option to clear all background apps that are not being used. Or you can also go to each app in settings >applications and force close those background apps though it is tedious. Both work for me.

Is it the norm to move/install apps (that support it) to the SD? I'm thinking moving mine, but does moving disturb anything? Will I be able to update the apps regularly still?
Sorry for the noob question
You can move any App that has the ability to be moved. They will update regularly and you should not have any problems. That being said there are a few Apps out there that will lose some features if moved to the external like the jorte calender when moved to external you will lose the capacity to use the widgets. Hope this helped!

Hm. I use Jorte...I guess I'll leave my widget apps alone just in case.
If I were to change my SD card (for a bigger one) I guess I'd have to move them back to the phone and then back to the new card?
It is my understanding that you would not have to but I am sure that if I am wrong that someone more experienced than me will post a correction. I have taken my sd card out when the phone had been worked on by at&t and the Apps that were on sd still worked

a few catches do exist. you can't create a widget for an app that is on SD. Also some apps don't work reliably when on SD, e.g. sms backup's auto backup feature doesn't work if the app is on SD.

I used titanium to backup all my user data and apps. I also noticed titanium had an option to move all my apps to sd card, so I went and did that. I also deleted backups for non installed apps.
One of these three operations seems to have removed the icons for some of my widgets/shortcuts on my home screens. Some of the icons say "Problem loading" and I can not click on them.
Is there a way to fix this?
Remove that icon and drag again the widget to desktop?

I would but its like half a dozen icons and i dont remember what they all were. I just did a restore all. That made me install all my apps again. Still did not fix the problem.
I guess I'l lreplace the icons manually once I need them and remember what they were.
