Reboot everytime installing a new apps?

[radiowc]

Hi

Quick question.... I am not sure if this is normal, i have to reboot my device everytime when I installed a new apps, if not I will just see a new blue square icon on my desktop instead of the icon from the apps?
:confused:
Anyone?

That's pretty normal. Personally I just ignore it, the apps work perfectly well whether there's a proper icon or not.

Hmm, that is what I thought so too... glad it work :> only thing is the icon don;t reflect to the apps icon. Before this last firmware, I do know the icon did show correctly without have to reboot. I guess maybe they fix something and break other :>

I read somewhere about an xterminal command to refresh icons.. sorry cant remember where....some linux participant will sort you out.

They show up by themselves sooner or late anyway...

It didn't on mine - the old firmware acted exactly the same as the current, requiring a reboot to show new icons (or a very long wait).

It will be probably fixed in PR1.2, or at least I hope so.
@radiowc You don't have to manually reboot your phone after every setup, apps can be properly used even without any icons ;)
