Hi everybody !
I've recently bought an Xperia E3 (D2203) and I'm very happy with this product (compared to the price) but I'm very disappointed about the "4GB" internal memory because there is 1.7GB in reality...
So I've moved some apps to an SD card (2GB for the moment) but, if I create a shortcut on my launcher, it disappears (randomly) after reboot =/
Is there a solution to fix this issue ? or is it normal ?
Sorry for my english ^^"
If it can help, I resolved the problem.
1.Go to Apps Manager
2.Select your launcher (for me it was "Xperia Home")
3.Delete data
4.Reorganize your home, replace your icons
5.Reboot, it will be fine.
Also, wait a bit after tapping your Pin, don't unlock your screen to fast, to let your device loading all data in SD (because, on my phone by the way, loading external data is slower than loading home)

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 have C204 version and did the update.But i experiance a lot bugs.
1) DCIM/thumbnails folder in Internal memory(SDcard0) is being filled with cache file(with some .xyz extension) of 2 GB which is eating whole memory
2) When clicking the 'Transfer to SD card option' in 'storage' settings it shows 'Storage has suddenly stopped working' and goes back to settings again.
3) unlock screen flickers when using the Walkman app and dont unlock on one click.
4)Cannot see the default 'Clock' app in 'Daydream' in Display settings
Please reply anyone else also experiancing the same and does repairing it will remove them or not?

Hello to all. I have bought a new SD card for my phone. I have copied (or thought i did) everything from the old SD to the new one and now i see that all of the apps that were installed on the old one are shown as they are located on the new one but they do not work. Their icons are shown with an SD icon on them and when i long press on them the only option that shows is to move them on the home screen. When i press once on them it says that the app is located on the SD but it can't work. Now i am stacked with an app drawer full of inactive icons that i want to remove. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thank you all

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Maybe this post will help
This happens because the apps that disappear are on MicroSD. When booting the phone the launcher starts before the SD card is scanned. so the launcher doesn't sees the apps and thinks they are missing.
So what you have to do is the following, force close the launcher. you can do the following:
settings>Applications>Manage applications>all>Home (launcher) > and press "Force stop"
this will relaunch the SE home and all the apps will be back

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.
