Apps installed on sdcard disappear from home screen - HTC Desire V

Why do apps move to sdcard icon disappear from home screen after restarting?
Sent from my HTC Desire V using xda premium

Just tried this and they do disappear from the home screen after a restart. This has only happened since the OTA update.
Anyone know a fix apart from moving the app back to the phone?

Also download "no lock" to disable the stock lockscreen
What's 'no lock'? I thought just using a lockscreen app would get rid of that one and put another one I want?
Yes, it puts it "on top", but doesn't completely replace out like out works with home launchers, abd eventually, the stock lockscreen pops up on top of your custom one.
No Lock disables the default keyguard so you can use a custom one without issues.

Be careful, once you use no lock the genius button can wake the phone and place calls.

If you are rooted, you can remove the HTC lockscreen app from /system. The default froyo lockscreen is just being overridden by that app.

Rock on! I always hated that lock screen! *presses easy button*
I would also add that a reboot is necessary.

I used root explorer to move the htclockscreen.apk and the odex files to my sdcard, got the standard froyo lockscreen. Moving it back didn't put the htc lockscreen back though, I still have the standard froyo. Now that I got rid of it, I kind of want it back, lol.
Actually, this may be a problem, I may need to exchange my Mytouch. Even a factory reset doesn't do it. I've wiped and restored it, still have the stock froyo lockscreen. The files are back in system/app, but I can't get it back somehow.
Try re installing the apk in the root folder, the n reboot, I haven't tried , just a theory

Tried that, nothing. I may just need to find a stock rom to flash now.
Did you reboot it after install
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
It wouldn't let me install, "application not installed". And yes, I had it mounted r/w. It's in there, it just isn't seeing it.
I tried, same here, I even tried fix permission in rom manager with no luck ...

Hmm, I think I should bring this up as a separate thread, this could be an issue if anyone needs to go back completely to stock.
Quick question though, do you ever see the left slide bar missing every now and then? Sometimes when I turn the screen on the left slide bar is invisible, but it shows when I touch it.
4 shared.com search for "go to .apk"

Yeah the left side did that to me too, luckily I did a nandroid right after root, took me back to stock. If you didn't, do that next time!

once this is doe is there anyway to get a picture on the background of the froyo background
I uninstalled the htc lockscreen on mine but I did a nandroid backup beforehand, and after doing that I just did a restore and it came back to working fine, don't know if that helps anyone out any

phone icon still missing

I've been searching through the forums for a fix to get the phone icon back in the app drawer and everyone was able to fix it by getting the ota update. However my phone is all updated and it says that there's no new HTC updates at this time. Anyone know what else I can do to fix this?

Phone app is not supposed to be in app drawer, do you have it in your lock screen? if you do or able to put it there, everything is fine. I had the problem and the problem was not having it on the lockscreen. The phone app was never in the app drawer.

I had the issue of it not coming up on the lockscreen and what seems to work is to change the icon to anything else, reset the phone, and then change it back to the phone app.

My phone app is in the drawer
I had the same problem... All you have to do is restart your phone once HTC widget update is done.

go launcher and facebook app animations

when entering and exiting the Facebook app from go launcher the app doesn't fade in or out. it just zooms in or out and disappears or reappears, on my wife's evo 4g it fades just fine, ive tried reinstalling facebook and go launcher and it doesn't fix it. maybe a resolution problem? no other app i have has this problem. all of them fade in and out just fine. been searching on and off for months for others with this problem and have found nothing, would a hard reset fix it? or just deal with it?
unrooted stock on sprint

Dock bar on ics Rom, app disappeared

I froze my messaging app to install the ics one a little while ago, when I unfroze it it dissapeared from my dock bar. Any way I can get it back without flashing the Rom again?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Should be a setting in your personalize meun or lock screen settings menu to choose which app icons/short cuts appear on the lock screen. Also after you unfroze them did you reboot ??

anyone have a problem with there recent apps button after OTA??

im s-off so i flashed the radio firmwear zip in bootloader.. and then i flashed new stock rooted jelly bean rom.. ever since that when i go into display then buttons.. i try and change it so my recent app button is menu.. but not it wont work and before it worked just fine?? go into display then recent app button then choose the middle option 2# one that should make recent app the menu.. worked just fine before
The menu button on recent apps doesn't work on the home screen. You gotta be in an app or the app drawer for it to work. I know it sucks, takes longer to change skins and wallpapers now
