App disappear on screen

I use note 7000b 2.3.5dxkk1
rooted
I found this problem that app I installed in sdcard
their icon on home sceeen sometime they disappear
they change to gray clour and cant open it.
Hv to restart it and will be normal its happen several time
so where this problem might come from
anyone hv this before?
Thanks

Oh and sometime my gallery is empty too
u think is might comefrom exsdcard(Sandisk class6 32g)

I have the exact same issue. I guess it's titanium backup related. Have you ever get your apps frozen via titanium backup or moved them to sdcard using titanium backup?
Rebooting the device once solved my problem for good. I never had such issue ever since I rebooted.

I never used titaniumbackup for anything yet
only back up once for game never restore.
So I glad atleast the problem might not came from sdcard
which I just bought it.
So May be hv to wait for ICS. Its may help my issue.
Thanks a lot.

This has been happening to me too and I'm on an unrooted stock ROM with a 16-gb Class 4 Transcend micro SDHC.

don't install too many apps to sd and you won't have this problem.
known issue with sd card. but none of the devs fix the problem

Let me give it to Samsung Gnote ... i never used to install so much apps on any of my previous devices. So much built in memory is provacating

Actually I install only a few app
and couple game in sd card mostly,
I only kept my file in it.
I hv change my sd class4 to class6 once
I though its too slow but problem still there

Fast Boot option may be the culprit
This is actually a long-standing problem in Android OS, going back at least two years (donkey's years in this technology!)
Something about the interaction of the OS and an sdcard formated for holding apps creates odd behaviours.
Lots of complicated suggestions have been made, including reformatting sdcard, reinstalling ROMs, changing launchers (the one suggested here) and such.
None of these approaches seems really to solve the problem even in most cases.
This is the first I have read about app overload on an sdcard being a "known issue" (known to whom? XDA?), although I can well believe the possibility that it COULD be true. Still... Just where might the cutoff point be? Also, isn't an active app loaded into memory, so this would be the real bottleneck?
What seems to be working for me (at least for the last week or so) is the following very simple tweak.
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report anything further on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

Pictures and videos erased for no reason. (rooted)

Hi there,
Suddenly my OB erased all media (pics, videos) before June. I realized yesterday when looking for some pictures and found only the ones taken since Jun 1st.
My contacts and messages are still in the SD, pretty weird.
Also, I can see some old pictures with ES explorer, and then in the PC I can see others.
I didn´t do anything wrong, the only suspicious thing that comes to my mind is, maybe, some usb connection terminated.
Do you know if there is a way to recover them? Currently I´m running a software called Stella Recovery, and I can see some thumbnails of my old pictures showing during the process, but it seems this tool is not free, and is taking ages.
I appreciate your help.
Btw, I´m rooted with Nova v7, under 2.2.2.
Thanks.

Probably you have turned on the patched sqlite with nosync and your databases crashed.

[Q] Internal Memory Gallery and apps data all dissapear

Hi Guys,
I encounter a strange thing, yesterday my phone was very heat and decided to pull battery out manually (because i don know what things running behind) After restarting the phone, i found out that the internal memory of my photos, videos and the application data are all gone, the phone main screen is normal all the apps icon still there but some apps are not able to run smoothly and need re installed.
My question is:
1. I try to use data recovery software from pc (recuva, stella pheonix etc) but i cant find the photos and videos that i need to recover), at the same time, i try to use from phone apps (undelete, diskdigger). The results are the same i cant find and recover all the files is needed. Anyone know how to recover in other ways?
2. I saw my photo gallery has alot of thumbnail images which i cant open at all after this. I have deleted it, what causes it happen and the thumbnail cache file is more than 2gb, i not dare to delete and i was hoping my files are inside.
3. Is this problem happen due to memory corrupted? or some apps like antivirus caused ? i just install a antivirus call COMODO the day before it happen.

Files disappeared,

Yes, I know how to use google, yes, I tried many things now and I don't know where else to look for help so I'm asking here, a place with many smart heads full of ideas.
I was doing pretty normal thing on my phone this morning, just trying to copy all the files from internal memory onto the PC. Of course I couldn't do that thanks to "Unspecified error" during copying some of the folders, including Downloads and DCIM. I managed to copy only some of the files from internal storage. I thought a reboot might help. And so the nightmare began. All the other files I wanted to copy disappeared from gallery and Total Commander. They must be on the phone though, as there is something on the phone that uses 2gb of memory. I did not delete them, the system just fails to see them. I already tried deleting all the ".nomedia" files, clearing cache and data from Media Storage app, disabling it, rebooting and enabling again but it was of no use. I'm helpless and I don't know what to do, why did android even do this? I lost a lot of photos and images and I'm really upset about that. Any ideas what to do? The phone is not rooted, never played with software in it, it's updated to 5.1

Download any File Manager from Play Store, check if the files are on the phone memory. If not, well, they are somehow lost. Maybe you cut-paste them onto your PC, and the files were deleted, but you got an 'unspecified error' on moving.

Thanks a lot for a response. I use Total Commander on every android phone I had, I can see that my files look like they disappeared completely, android just generated empty generic folders ("Pictures etc) after I cut off the previous folders along with their content so I saved a little bit that I could. On the other hand something is occupying 2gb of data but the phone refuses to show what, so there is a chance my files are there. After copying the whole content of the phone to the folder on desktop it just shows it weight few hundreds KB. I'll be trying to use some recovery software for android. The question is how did this happen at all? It had no right to happen, what if this happened to someone who has completely no idea about that stuff? Who's to blame and who's responsible for helping such a person? Motorola? Google? Anyway, this is the last phone with no micro-sd card slot I used. A memory card is the best backup

You COULD recover your files even if they were deleted if Android still had a mass storage mode. I don't think any of the data recovery softwares play nice with the MTP transfer that android offers. Of course, the SD card is infinitely better, but a rarity these days. I am sorry for your lost data. You seem like you did everything within your reach to get it back.
EDIT: Just to be sure, did you cut-paste the folders on your PC from phone, or just copy-paste. It might be possible for files to be deleted in cut-paste, if some error occurs in copy.

Thanks for contributing. It seems Google knows better then any of us what we need and there's no more Mass Storage option which gives free access to memory. Unfortunately I don't have that option. First I ensured which files are not affected by error by trying to copy them folder after folder. Then there were left files I couldn't copy, it was DCIM with most recent photos (unfortunately) and download where I kept lots of images with cool infographics found on the internet. I thought a reboot would help to get access to them and you know the rest. Files were there no longer. I'm seriously considering switching to Windows Phone, it seem it's too much to ask for a phone that just "werks" nowadays...I have a painful lesson to use memory card as well as cloud synchronizing but didn't give up yet, still trying anything I can I also wrote to Motorola with help request but I don't think they'll help me any better than people here, although it's more their responsibility to fix that stuff, the phone is barely 6 months old.

Lenovo K3 Note-Cannot access custom ringtones after root

Hi,
I rooted my Lenovo K3 Note yesterday, and I am now running the Limonchelo NovaMod 5.0 custom ROM, Android 5.0.
Everything was running very smoothly. I installed all the apps I needed, set the launcher settings as per my liking, changed the ringtone to a custom one ( a song stored on my SD card). But suddenly, today when my phone rang (this is the first time it rang since I rooted the phone), I realised that the ringtone was still set to the default system ringtone. So, I tried to change it once again to a custom one.
Just as I had done numerous times before, I went to Settings-->Ringtones and volumes-->Call Alert Tone-->More Ringtones.., but this time, instead of being transferred to a new browser screen from where I can select any song on my device (even on SD card) as my ringtone, I got a small message at the bottom of my screen-- "No such application".
I have tried googling everything but it seems like no one has ever encountered a similar problem before.
Just before this problem appeared, I was messing around with the folders in my Internal Storage. I found many of them were obsolete (folders related to apps I had before rooting, which I don't need any more). So, I deleted many of them as I wanted to free some storage space. I'm afraid I have deleted some important system folder which has led to this issue. I read somewhere that the app "Theme Center" is probably required to browse for "More Ringtones...", but I can't find the app on my phone. Maybe this is what is causing the problem.
People root their phones so they can customise their systems extensively and I can't even set a custom ringtone. :crying:
Can anyone please help?
P.S.- I'm just a beginner and this is the first time I've rooted my phone. So, please give a detailed solution if possible.
