How do I change the favicon in google's "web starter kit?"

I replaced all of the files in images/touch with my own logo, and also replaced favicon.ico in the main directory of my project, but the favicon still displays as the default asterisk that comes with web starter kit. I tried refreshing the cache of my browser, and adding in

to try and manually link the favicon. This works, only when

is also commented out. But this will change the behavior of chrome for Android so that it is incorrect. Also, "images/touch/chrome-touch-icon-192x192.png" has been replaced with MY icon now, so why does this line make the favicon revert back?
