Guest rebecker Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I've suddenly developed an issue with the icons in my Start menu not appearing after a soft reset. Any application that is on my micro SD card loads with the generic MS icon. Icons from apps in the main memory DO load. I can get the icons back by going into Settings/Menu/ and unchecking an item and closing the dialog and then repeating the process and re-checking the app I unchecked. A very tedious process. My Startup folder loads the following apps: btdwake CommLoader PKG Pocket PROMT Launcher prssrsrv sddaemon Services BTW, the "File Explorer" listed is actually Resco's, which is installed on the SD card. Any thoughts on this will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apps start fine. I've tried removing and replacing the SD card; still no icons. The only way I can get the icons back is to go to Settings/Menus, de-select an item, save and redo the whole procedure again. I suspect some piece of software (I'm experimenting with a lot of new software) caused a problem. Here are the last apps I installed: ViiGo (on SD Card) MobilityFlow TouchCommander (in Main Memory) JottoSoft Finger-Friendly Friends (in Main Memory) HTC Album (in Main Memory) JUVS HTC Album (in Main Memory) VITO Zoomboard (in Main Memory) Anyone else have this issue with any of these apps installed??

Guest dolbe666 Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 if you have a decent filemanager (resco) you could copy the shortcuts back into the root directory of your start menu folder. so it woud be windows/start menu dont put them in the program folder or settings folder in that folder they go directly into the start menu folder. if you do that those apps should show up in the start menu again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they are missing, it's that the icons are not there. The Start Menu items work, they're just not pretty :( . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lozzd Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 It's not something that's conflicting. It's what happens. It's a Windows Mobile thing. Used to happen all the time on my HTC Wizard when I didn't have enough room to store any apps on the internal memory. Now, if only I could remember the fix. I think it had something to do with, creating a shortcut to the app in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and then creating a shortcut to that shortcut for the actual start menu folder? I don't remember exactly, but it was because the SD card isn't initialised by the time it's loading the start menu and its graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rebecker Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I got an answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...602#post1721602 I've run the app once and it fixed things. HOWEVER, I CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS DESIGN. Use at your own risk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
