App Icon Does Not Display On Certain Devices (Galaxy Note And Galaxy Note Ii)

Everyone,

In my experience, some Samsung devices such as the SII and SIII do not refresh the app icon and app name when installing over your existing app.  It’s a caching issue unique to those devices.  If you uninstall your app from the device first and then install your app, that will force the device to display the app’s icon and name.  It’s a bug with the device and there is nothing you can do on the software end to force it to show the updated icon/name.

Unfortunately that doesn’t work for me as the icon doesn’t even display when you transfer the file over to the phone, do you know if its an issue with the 894 build?

#23

I am experiencing the same issue.  My friend did a fresh, first time install on his galaxy SIII and it came up with the default icon.  I installed this on my galaxy tab 2 with no issues.

I did a build on my Mac and it is working.

I suspect it has something to do with the project path as on windows the project path had spaces (like the one mentioned in the topic).

I don’t think spaces in the path is the issue.  If you build our “ads/inneractive” sample app on Windows, which includes a custom inneractive app icon and is under the “Program Files” directory (notice the space), the inneractive app icons are correctly included.  I suggest that you try building that sample app as well and check if it works for you too.

The only differences that I can see between your build and mine is that I’m building from the C:\ drive (shouldn’t be a factor) and I have a much shorter path (might be a max character limit issue?).  So, try copying your project to “C:\PuppyTurret” and build it from there.  If the icon is then included, then that should give us a clue as to what is going wrong.

Hi all,

I know this is an old thread but I’m having the exact same problem. I tried everything suggested but had no luck. Did anyone get to the bottom of this problem?

Thanks
