I installed CM6 very early this morning, and whenever Launcher Pro restarts, I get this. Where did my icons go? :(

You probably have a backup file of the icons saved from before you reinstalled those apps. Add those icons to the homescreen manually, create a LP backup then restart LP.

Are those apps that you moved to the SD card?

I think I did that already. I have already deleted each of those icons from the home screen. Then I went through the process of adding them back one at a time. Then I went to preferences and did "backup homescreens & settings."

I haven't moved any apps to SD card, so it's not that.

One thing that it might be is that I use Titanium Backup to save LP before and then did a restore app + data to get it back. Do you think an uninstall/reinstall of LP would work?

This is a bug in Launcher Pro, but there is a workaround! See here: http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3303&p=16682&hilit=missing+icons#p16682

took me a while to figure this out as well, check to make sure the apps are on the phone and not the SD. Once I moved them to the phone they stopped going away. (Also check the CM6 settings, it was putting apps to the SD by default for me.)

Are you sure this isnt the phone just waiting a bit to read the SD card? If I reboot my phone the icons look like that for a little bit until the SD card is read. They then go back to normal.

LP used to do that to me all the time even before rooting. CM6 had ADW set default and I haven't had that problem any more.The only thing I miss is from LP was the dock.

Sorry for hijacking your post, but what's the name of that clock weather widget?

It is "Weather and Toggle Widgets" by Android Apps, with the h7c theme. I removed the background from the clock.

I have an old G1, and its so old and slow it sometimes takes a long-LONG time for the actual icons to appear
