Instead of restarting the phone and apps just power off the phone and power it back on.

Worked for me too. Good idea! Maybe the restart it the culprit. I'll let you know after I power off and remove the battery.

It happens on my Droid Razr, and powering off and on doesn't restore the icons. Only moving them back onto the phone does.

I have kinda had the same problem. Only my problem is the apps that I make folders for. The apps that are in folders have the Android icon. These apps are moved to SD as well. Same issue just the apps are in a different place. The ones that are on my SD and not in folders though do not do this. Just ones in the folders.

wow - this is an old thread... I had this issue on my EVO 4G - finally boiled down to this - apparently (per 'experts'), the Sense overlay was loading before the microSD was mounted, and that was preventing Sense from finding the apps on the microSD. So, Android would present the generic icon.
Once the microSD was mounted (usually a second or so after Sense loaded), if you changed the scene or restarted sense, it would find the correct icons. And yes, this problem was not there initially in Froyo. Something with the Sense update in GB caused this issue.
On my EVO 3D, I do not have this issue - works fine each time.

Yo, your phone is beast... Why send apps to the SD card? You have 1gb of internal memory that's plenty?

old post reply, but:
I too seem to lose some app icons, but they eventually come back.
Your answer is a bit naive, 3D has a limited amount of memory; need to store apps on SD card.

Old post but I have a solution (kind of) so I decided to post. An easy workaround is just force stopping the launcher you are using (slim launcher in my case) makes them re-appear.
I had this same problem. I moved 25 or so apps to SD card using AppMgrIII, after restart, these apps seemed (SEEMED) to be no longer installed. I tried to re-download them and my phone (Galaxy Note Edge) appeared stuck, so I, once again, restarted my phone.VOILA! All my "greyed out" apps were suddenly installed on my phone again. I thought maybe my antivirus (Norton) was hindering installation. I did stop my antivirus before the restart. Since I did 2 separate things (stop antivirus and restart phone) I'm not sure which actually did the correction.

The problem of Apps not showing proper icons, when moved to SD card can be solved as follows:
I have a Note 8 with a Samsung 256 GB SD Card.
When I move eligible apps to the SD card, the icons show up as greyed out, with the annotation "SD".
To get the proper icon display again proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings/Device maintenance/Storage
2. Click on the "3 dots" at the upper right of the screen
3. Select: Storage settings
4. Select "SD card", then click on "UNMOUNT"
5. Wait a few minutes until the SD card is unmounted. A message will show it to be finished.
6. When the SD card is unmounted: Select and click on: "Mount SD card"
7. When the SD card is mounted again, all the apps show up again in the app drawer, with their proper icons.
8. Copy missing icons on the Home screen from the corresponding app icons in the app drawer.
9. If it does not work properly, repeat steps: 1 through 8.
Good luck,
Peter
