 * I am not able to upload a custom icon. I get: “There seems to have been an error.
   Please try your upload again.” I tried manually uploading the image in ftp and
   it doesn’t show up with the other icons. I verified the image path. I set folder
   permissions to 0755 and 644 and that didn’t work.Does it store this in the database
   so I can confirm what’s there?

 * I was able to upload my custom icon. I needed to set the parent uploads folder
   permissions to 777. Then set /wptouch/ and /custom-icons/ to 777. Then went back
   and set uploads folder back to 755. There was some useful information [in this post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-upload-images-41?replies=12).
