Which apps will this not work with?

You can mod your app to make the icons show - but it's not a good fix for an app like iMPlayer that the developer continuously updates weekly and sometimes daily. As soon as the developer updates the app - the icon disappears again.
The best solution is to have the developer put the icons in the location where they will show - but not all developers want to do this

Method 1: Use the "Downloader" App​

1. Install the "Downloader" App on your Fire Cube.
2. Enter the Package Installer URL:
   • Open the Downloader app.
   • Enter https://aftv.news/290 to download the LauncherHijack.
3. Install and Run LauncherHijack:
   • After installing, this app will allow you to access a different app launcher that should display all icons correctly.

Method 2: Clear Cache and Restart​

1. Navigate to Settings on your Fire Cube.
2. Go to Applications > Manage Installed Applications.
3. Find the app whose icon is missing.
4. Click on Clear Cache.
5. Restart your Fire Cube to see if the icon reappears.

Method 3: Use an Icon Fixer App​

1. Download an Icon Fixerfrom the internet using the Downloader app.
   • One commonly used app is the Sideload Launcher - Fire TV.
   • It can help in displaying correct icons for apps that are sideloaded.

Method 4: Reinstall the Apps​

1. Uninstall the affected apps.
2. Reinstall them through a reliable APK source like APKMirror or Aptoide.
3. This process can often resolve issues with missing or broken icons, as it replaces potentially corrupted files.

Method 5: Manually Edit the APK Icon​

1. Extract the APK: You can use an APK editor on your PC or phone.
2. Edit the Icon: Replace the existing icon with a high-resolution version.
3. Repackage the APK: Install it again on the Fire Cube. This method is more advanced and requires some technical knowledge.

Additional Tips​

• Ensure that the Fire Cube's software is updated to the latest version, as bugs related to icons may be fixed in newer updates.
• Icons may be missing if the APK wasn't built with Fire TV compatibility in mind. Consider using a different version of the APK if the issue persists.
