2. choose 'edit application'
3. change the icon. 
4. save.
5. Open the menu and notice the change does not appear to take effect
6. search for the application
7. notice the changed icon is present on the search result

OBSERVED RESULT

the favorites list displays the original unmodified version of the application

Also note that un-favoriting the application, then re-favoriting it causes the favorite to point to the correct modified version of the application
