I have installed several mobile apps that I use for such things as banking. One of my apps used to show the default icon from when I installed the app. Now all I have is a white icon. Several more of my default apps such as gallery had it's icon changed. I've called samsung and have searched the internet but have not found a solution

Iwentto themes the icons and my stuff but it only show 9 apps andnoe of them are the ones that have changed. Sheri go to settings and apps the correct icons arethere.

Have you rebooted your phone? Sometimes it's a temporary glitch. Can probably be cleared by rebooting or, if that fails, deleting the cache partition. You could also try looking for a free icon pack that you like, switch to that, see if those icons are no longer blank and, if you like the new theme keep it, if you don't, switch back to the default and see if that unconfused your phone.

I did already try rebooting. I like the default icons that came withe the instalation. I also un-installed and reinstalled the app.

The suggestion was meant to determine if it's just a glitch. Change the theme and see if you still have blank icons. If you don't chage it back to default. You don't really seem to want help, since you are rejecting every suggestion.

So changing the theme will change the icons? I neverchanged the theme to begin with. They just changed.

@cjride Have you tried going to phone settings -> Themes -> 3 line menu (lower right) -> My stuff and selecting Default?

No, make sure Themes is selected and then click Default to invoke the Default Theme.

I don't want themes, I want icons.

I already tried that as in my first post.

Is there a way to send photos I can make screenshot and post them. One picture is worth a thousand words. I just figured out how to do that. Let me get busy.
