KWGT notification icons fail to load after reboot (only when loaded from a preset)

[MegaShark]

Hi everyone,

I finally managed to consistently reproduce a bug I’ve been facing for a long time (which previously seemed random).

Problem:
Icons inside a KWGT notification fail to load after a phone restart IF notification was loaded from a preset before restarting AND before you open KWGT to edit the notification and click save.

In summation, this bug happens if:

• you have a KWGT notification that was loaded from a preset

• you restart your phone

• you haven’t yet opened KWGT to edit the notification and clicked the Save icon after restarting your phone

This bug doesn’t happen if:

• your notification includes the same icons but was not loaded from a preset

This seems to be specifically related to icon resources not being reloaded properly after reboot, until the widget is re-saved.

Device & App Info

• Kustom Widget Pro: 3.81b530915

• Device: Honor Magic 7 Pro

• OS: MagicOS 10.0.0.140 (Android 16)

Hopefully this helps others experiencing the same issue, and maybe gives the developer a clear reproduction path.

Thanks!

Hey MegaShark,

Are you using custom icon fonts in your preset or built-in ones (like Material)?

If you’re using a custom font, Kustom can periodically lose it. It’s a known issue where you have to export the preset and reload it from the library to get the icons back.

My advice: Just use PNG, SVG, or the built-in Material icons. Kustom doesn’t lose those, and it will solve your problem for good

I’m using a custom Komponent from another user, and Kustom never loses it - unless I load it from a preset AND restart my phone.

If this custom Komponent isn’t loaded from an exported preset, I never lose the icons, EVEN IF I restart my phone.

Are you just hitting the Save icon in the editor, or are you actually exporting the preset to the library and then loading it from there?

Also, I don’t want to guess what’s inside that Komponent. Could you tap on the Icon layer and send a screenshot of the “ICON” tab?

Just hitting the save icon in the editor is enough for the icon to load after a restart (and this is only necessary if the notification was loaded from a preset before the restart)

I can see from your screenshot that this is a Weather Komponent made of PNG images, but you’re just showing the “Layer” tab, which doesn’t help.

Let’s do a simple test. In most Komponents, icons are stored either in Globals or directly in the layers as images.

Do this after a restart (BEFORE hitting Save):

Open the preset and find where the weather icons are (check Globals or look through the layers for the image).

Go to the Bitmap tab of that image (where the kfile:// path is).

Tap the “Pick Image” icon (the magic wand or crop icon) like in my screenshot.

If Kustom says “File not found”, then we’ll know it’s a filesystem access bug. This is the only way for me to actually understand your pr

oblem.
