How do you mean "texts getting deleted"?
Have you performed a repair installation on pc companion to see if this fixes the icon packs?

Pc companion

When installed you can back up alk your media and settings and then click on update, it will tell you your phone is updated and then give you the option of repair installation.
This completely wipes your device and will put a fresh install of the OS on the phone.
It fixes many problems.

I've got the same problem! Just updated my Xperia Z5P to marshmallow and no icon pack can be applied. However, I noticed that all of the icon packs I've downloaded don't support Xperia Home, only other launchers like Apex and Go. This could be the reason to why icon packs can't be applied now on Xperia devices and we just need to wait for them to be compatible soon I guess.

Your posts are probably being deleted since you posted about this in several threads that's about something else.

Icon pack's situation is not really clear, right now, because we don't know if we can put into our launcher all the icon packs available on Google Play Store

So it's better if someone from Sony would tell something about

For now icon packs working, actually, are these one u can take by there :

and

These, for sure, are working

For now, let's wait a bit and see how situation's going to ...

I tried doing a clean installation of my phone but that didn't help. So it's kind of a lost cause.

However, I contacted Sony Support and they informed me that they're investigating the issue, great!

I tried downloading that Xperia X icon pack from XDA that @Robertods88 mentioned and that actually works! Really strange!

Some icok packs have to be designed for our launcher, as it seems, right now

It's too soon for having all icon packs usable for our launcher !

However it's better if usual names takes this thing to Sony directly

I will try to get some information about this and will let all of you know as soon as I know more.

Yeah, it's quite a mystery.

Also, what happened to these things: Round, Framed or Glass settings? http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/12/04/change-icon-appearance-in-new-home-launcher-10-0-a-0-4-from-marshmallow-concept/

@GabChivi

The link you are referring to is about our concept software which is different from our commercial software which you have.

Sony's Concept for Android: Marshmallow edition is a fresh take on the Sony user experience based on Android 6.0, Marshmallow. It has some significant differences compared to our current commercial releases, with a stripped back, vanilla Android look and feel, with native Sony features and apps we find most popular amongst our users.

As @Viridis mentions, it may be possible to download new icons. We will get back as soon as we have more information.

@Riskard

Are there any plans to move Concept program also for another devices (Z5 series) and for more countries (bettest worldwide)?
