[Q] Application shortcuts in folders (2.3.2) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Since yesterday I am running CoreDroid V4 (Kernel 2.6.35.10-g4a4b278), and since then having trouble placing application shortcuts in folders on the HTC Sense home screen. When creating a folder and putting a application shortcut in it, the shortcut only appears after closing and reopening the folder.
I did do a full wipe before installing this new ROM. Anyone experiences this behavior too? Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks

Default folders for Nfsfan's Rom, Can anyone help?

I deleted folders I thought were empty. The shortcuts contained inside were merely contained in ROM so I could not see them. If I can create the folders again the shortcuts will be available again.
Can anyone tell me the default folder structure for the start menu?
Also, I downloaded a manila 2d theme and activated it, but my today screen is still the standard 6.5 mobile today screen. Can anyone help me?

If you downloaded and installed a Manilla 2D theme but the screen still shows 6.5 - then you need to click on START>Settings>Today and the 2nd tab (items) uncheck the Windows Default and Enable Touchflo
As for deleting folders and the icons within - you deleted them then they are gone -recreating a folder isnt going to recreate an icon within it - best just hard reset and start over if it is important and came in the ROM

PS - Issues with a specific ROM should be asked within the thread of the person that created it, you might find your answer there already asked and answered or at least someone will be there to respond rather than out in the general threads
A hard reset will get your phone back to the original state of the latest rom you flashed. So your folders that you accidently deleted will be back. Be sure to back up your contacts, messages, etc. with PIM backup to your storage card. You will need to re-install any cabs you have installed after you do a hard reset.

Re-Adding Shortcuts

Hello everyone.
I recently downloaded a new rom and when I go to add a new shortcut to the home screen, under "program" none of the applications I have on my sd card show up.
Is there any way for me to add these applications without reinstalling them each time I add/update a new rom?
Thanks!!

Copy the exe of the program and paste a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. You should then be see the program in the list when you go to add the shortcut on the home screen.
Depending on the program, you may need to reinstall however, as certain applications make registry changes as well and may not function without those changes. Others, such as games, sometimes store save files locally on the internal memory, so there is a chance that you may have lost those.

Retaining Icon Art

OK, I've searched everywhere I can think of - so can anyone help?
New Android user, still learning. I have created a few folders on my home screen for regularly used apps (Games, Admin, etc.) but everytime I reboot I seem to lose the art for a number of them (I suspect the ones that have had updates since original install).
I can refresh them by deleting the icon from the folder and re-adding from 'all apps' - but this is a pain everytime I reboot (i.e. every morning).
Is there anyway I can stop it losing the art?
fyi: I am now on Virtuous ROM, but I had the same issue with the original Stock ROM (Overclocked) before I flashed.
Any advice appreciated.

[Q] Zedge force closing

Hi all, relative noob here...Had a quick question regarding Zedge. I've been using this app for awhile on my old HTC Hero, and now my E4GT. Just recently, using Calk's ROM 2.7 and now 2.8.1, I've run into an issue when trying to select a Zedge ringtone or notification sound from Settings-->Sounds. When the pop up window comes up (Choose: System Sounds, Zedge) and I select Zedge, the phone freezes for a second then shows the "Zedge process force close window" and I'm stuck with system tones. Same thing will happen if I try to assign a tone from within Zedge. Some times Zedge will work, sometimes not. I've run fix permissions, but I'm still running into the issue. I've also tried using Super Manager to move my Zedge files to the system media folder, but that does nothing either. I have a couple of programs on my phone that help me control programs that are auto-starting (specifically, Android Assistant & Rom Toolbox Lite), but I don't know if those are playing a part in this problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also, if it helps, I'm currently on Calk's 2.8.1 ROM with the EL13 modem and the Rogue Desperado Kernal.
Not sure why you're coming across these problems but i've found it's easier to just make a "ringtones" & "notifications" folder on my sdcard. After creating them, all sounds placed in will be available in the corresponding settings menu.

Should these folders be placed in a specific location on the sd card (media folder, for instance) or simply in the root of the sd card? Thanks in advance.

[ISSUE]Zooper Widgets Pro - Unable to load SD card templates

I'm using the latest version of Zooper Widget Pro from the playstore on a VZW Samsung Galaxy S4 (Slimrom v1.9 - Android 4.3)
Whenever I create a new zooper widget (any size) or open one that has been created, I am unable to see ANY templates in the SD Card Templates section. All I get is the spinning loading icon. I tried being patient and waiting over 15 minutes - set the phone down and came back with screen timeout set to never, as well. I've tried reinstalling and clearing data+cache. I've tried moving the folder to my SD and moving back to see if it would 'refresh' - no luck. I only got the list of templates when I luck when I moved all my templates from the Zooper folder 'Templates' folder to a different folder and moved back only 10 templates (at random). Whenever I move more templates into the 'Templates' folder, I get the spinning loading icon hang.
Why is it doing this?? I have a fair share of templates in my folder but why did it work up until a couple days ago? Did it reach a tipping point of sorts?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Even if someone else can share a similar issue or something. Cause I'm at my wits end with this. I have a few skins I wanted to put up in the playstore and I'm currently being held back.
Sorry for the long post and I hope that this is the correct section. Thank you for taking the time to read this and helping find a solution.
The screenshot I attached is what I see when I select SD card templates to see the list to choose from.

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S3 with Onmi rom (latest nightly)
Lucky I have bought it few minutes ago and can abort the transaction. I will buy it again when it will work
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Solved!!!
I had to copy the templates into internal storage folder:
/storage/emulated/0/ZooperWidget/Templates
then they were visible inside the app after tapping "open from sdcard"
Maybe i was just too hasty
