Ok so i went ahead and did a hard reset. Ran into problems. Programs i had installed previously are now showing up as gears and wont open. I knew it was gonna wipe all my programs but how come the menu shows gears for all of the previously installed programs? Any file that i can delete that will remove the gears or do i have to wipe the SD card too? Also considered just doing a nandroid restore since i backed it up before the wipe but it appears I cannot just restore from the SD card. Am I correct or missing something? Thanks.
