Re: Android Errors in Program Shortcuts - UPDATE: Fix Available if Rooted

Well, things are moving FAST!

Here's the latest fix for this issue. Works perfectly for me.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582176

Basically, you're deleting the entire cache directory. Don't worry, it is recreated the next time the phone boots up. All icons look good, names are correct, etc.

Be careful! Using this command you will not be prompted with any warnings!

Code:
rm -rf /data/boot-cache

That's weird. Well, I'm not sure what the deal is for this issue, but as far as deleting apps, you have to make sure you do this before attempting to remove the apk file.

Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581635

Also, I don't have to "su" at all. It seems like I'm always root now (as noted by the # in front of the line. I wonder if that's not supposed to be the case. I'll brainstorm and try to figure out why you aren't able to delete the cache file.

This may be a temporary fix, though I haven't had a chance to try it yet:

I am su all the time now that I finally got Modaco to work without force closing. 78MB free on phone after partitioning SD Card EXT2 for apps!! Woot... Anyway the main point I want to make is that I am adding this to the tips thread. Of course it will be a link so people can thank you and I want to add that it sticks after a soft reset which I didn't think would happen!! Thanks again and I am hitting the button haha.

Re: Android Errors in Program Shortcuts - UPDATE: Fix Available if Rooted

Glad it finally worked out for you. Just to be clear though, this does stick after reboot, but not after installing an app or updating a pre-existing one. What a hassle!
