Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my custom icons on my LauncherPro dock disappearing after my phone goes on standby, or I plug in my phone to my pc, or something like that. The icons switch back from the custom to the standard LauncherPro icons. However, it's not doing it on every icon, the mail and text custom icons stay, but the phone, app drawer, and web icons revert back to stock. What gives?!?

Here's what I'm talking about:

i had the same problem until i did this

to get the icons to stay you have to change the shortcut aswell IE if its already your text messages app go through the steps

click to change shortcut to text even tho it already is and then pick your custom icon they will stay after that

for some reason you always have to change the shortcut even tho your keeping it the same and the custom icon will stick

Just tried that method. Hopefully it will work. Thanks

Yep...I figured this out today as well. I recently flashed to Fresh newes ROM and ran into this issue. Now if I can only figure out why I get a badge notification on my mail icon when I get a text message. strange...


Here's an example. So everytime I get a new text message. I get an alert badge on my text icon and on my mail icon at the same time. I double checked to see if I actually had an unread email. But I didn't. This happens every time I get a new text message.

hodedofme, where did you find the text icons? I like them, but haven't had any luck finding them through searching. Thanks!

I found them on the Let Us Peek At Your Screens! thread. Here's a zip file of them: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?hc8ka1p5r1u6ssu

I need to figure out a way to make text icons for all the other apps.

FYI taking off landscape mode has definitely make the icons 'stick' for a good while longer. Only time I've seen them revert back was while restarting the phone. I haven't tried the latest fix from this post yet.
