Icons not appearing in App drawer - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a stock Play, only major things I've done to it are root it, and use GoLauncher.
Some icons for programs aren't appearing in the app drawer, or others will be there at first, but then disappear.
Such as titanium backup. I tried reinstalling it but that didn't do anything.

Nevermind. I switched to ADW launcher and it works. Guess GoLauncher sucks.

Perhaps you hid all apps?

[Q] Vanilla Icons

Hello,
is there a simple way to replace all the Samsung standard icons with the Vanilla (stock) Android icons?
I really don't like many of them (e.g the ugly messaging icon).
Thanks in advance
Hmm...maybe with launcherpro you can change icons for apps you put on your homescreen. You can't do that with app drawer.
The only way seems to install a aosp-clean rom (when we'll get cyanogen I think we'll be ok) OR to install the aosp version of the apps you're interested in...guess they won't all work, but some should. Music will definitely work (I used it in some rom, and the samsung icon is really horrible), also calendar and messages I think should work...of course that would change also the application itself, not just the icon...
Download ADW Launcher, and then search for "aosp adw theme" in market and install.
Folder organizer might be useful in this case.
Although haven't tried!

I do it but that way i still don't have the AOSP drawer like the second picture that you can see here
there's a setting somewhere in ADW to activate that kind of drawer?

No, that's the 3D App Drawer from Launcher Pro in that picture.

[Q] Lost launcher access/shortcut in CM

Nevermind, i just re-installed ADW. I'm still an idiot.
****************************
I now have CM 6.1 RC 4 installed and love it so far. Being the idiot and noob that I am, in thinking I was dragging a shortcut to the trash, I really wrote-over the shortcut to the launcher in the dockbar. I thought of creating a shortcut to the Launcher and replacing what's there now with it, but I can't seem to create a shortcut to Launcher. Is there anyway to restore what was initially in the dockbar?
I just cleared data under ADW Launcher, but I'd be cool if there was another way.

[q] help with app drawer hiding icons

I need something where i can hide an app from the drawer but still have access to it, heres what i mean.
I switched to HTC sense, and Sense has its own gallery, i hate the sense gallery, so i reverted back to the stock gallery. So now i have 2 gallery apps and i want to hide the sense gallery. Only issue is this gallery corresponds with the messaging app when attaching image or video, and when i hide it with hide it pro, app vault, and other apps its not accessible, it just force closes or doesnt respond. So im looking for a way to hide it from the drawer, but still have access to it through the apps that it corresponds with.
Launcehr Pro
Launcher Pro does just that, but you lose the Sense look. But I use Launcher Pro on my G2 without Sense so no problem for me.
I forgot to mention, I dont want to use a home replacement app or have to switch roms. I want to keep the sense look. Ive used launcherpro in the past and loved it but sense beats it in my opinion.

[Q] Best launcher and the feature/advantage of that launcher you can't live without

What is the best LAUNCHER in ur comparison..and the best feature that makes it awesome...(eg. mine is goLauncherex coz it have swipe in the screen to do additional options like swipe down for notification or open helicopter view of all home screens).....REPLY PLZ
I use adw ex because its fast. But when Zeam has widget scrolling back i will use that mainly cause, adw ex is fast but it uses more memory and sacrifices graphics. You can check this by using a dark/black coloured widget and then scrolling, you will see it distort.
I use ADW Launcher Ex, it has the same swipe features and many themes available

+1 for ADW Launcher Ex, it just seems to move smoother and more fluidly than others ive tried.
Tried several all they all have advantages, still, surprisingly, I am now quite used to TouchWiz on the Galaxy S2 2.3.3 and while it is not perfect, decided to stop bothering with other launchers for now. It does a fair, fast/fluid job and I complement it with a couple of widget-thingies like Elixir and a couple of apps like Tasker and ZDTools.
The good part is that it appears to be very stable. I'll probably keep using it until something amazing shows up.
LauncherPro, tried Zeam and Go Ex, both rather slowly working. But I like the feature on GoEx launcher to open the recent apps out of the appdrawer...
I like Go Launcher's ability to uninstall an app just by long-pressing on the app icon in the drawer of home screen, and that you could add up to 30 screens--something few launchers can do.
ALso the many themes and icons that it has for free download. Font packs though, are not its strength. You'd have to look elsewhere for fonts.

30 screens -> will be BAD SLOW! i have 3 screens and it is really enough...
launcher pro: tap long on an icon, drag it over the trash can and wait -> so you can uninstall it
I love adw launcher being able to hide app labels, looks much cleaner.
Quite like transparent app drawer too!

[Q] Nova resetting custom icons

Hi all!
I'm using paid Nova Launcher, and since a couple of mounths, I'm facing a strange behavior with my custom icons.
I'm changing all the icons in the drawer and the desktop with icons I've made. I change them manually, one by one, as I don't know how to build an iconset.
The point is, everytime an app is updated, its icon is resetted to stock one. This I can understand, even if its a pain...
But the Nova settings icon, the google setting one, and the stock messaging one are resetted randomly, and I can't understand why.
So is it a normal behavior in Nova, and is there a way to avoid icons to be resetted?
Thanks for your help.
