I have no idea what could be causing this. I've never heard of anything like it, and I have yet to find any posts or anything on Google pertaining to it. The problem is simple. I install an app or game. Play or use it. Go do something else for 20 minutes to an hour come back expecting to use said app, and its gone. Its not in the launcher or manage apps, and play store acts as if it wasn't yet installed. I can go to market again to install it but that's just bothersome. I'm on an 8gb nook tab running an emmc install of cm10, looks like its the 2012-9-3 acclaim build according to about tab. Other than that I'm not sure which ROM exactly.
Any thoughts would be awesome.

I only downloaded this ROM about four days ago. That combined with the fact that that was my second post on xda, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume I didn't know there was an updated version. May I ask what your recommendation of most stable cm10 ROM would be?

Is there a "place holder" icon in place of the disappeared app? (home screen and app drawer, either or both) Would appear as a generic android icon.
Also, what apps are disappearing specifically?

When Ext-Sd card auto unmounts (known bug) everything installed on it (because ext-sdcard are default one /sdcard1) is then shown as a green android without their normal icon.
I've been having this issue as well with Business Calendar Pro. It isn't installed to the SDCARD. I haven't had the problem with the latest version of the ROM though.

I can't compare it to stock or CM7, though -- I haven't run either stock or CM7 since April or so. It does seem to suck the battery down much faster than Chris' CM10, though. To deal with that, I've been doing a full power-off (long press and select "Power Off") instead of a soft power-off when I know I won't be using the tablet for a while.

Almost any app. Here's an updated play by play.
Install app. App can be used.
After a while it disappears.
Can reinstall and use again.
Usually disappears again.
If tab is rebooted apps reappear. Icon and all.
If you attempt to open they force close. I don't remember the error message.
This mostly happens on large apps or games.
I'm gonna attempt to update my ROM and see if it still has the same problems.
Updated to the latest cherry picks ROM. I wiped and cleared everything. Same problem. Same symptoms. Any thoughts on causes and possible solutions? Or is this just a bug with the ROM?

I've experienced a similar issue, and it appears to be the result of the SD card getting (forcibly?) unmounted while sleeping. I have no idea how to prevent it other than moving all apps to internal storage if possible. Maybe ensuring that any apps the rely on storing data on the SD card are terminated before sleeping?
FWIW, I've had the same thing happen in the past with the stock BN ROM so it wasn't a huge surprise to me when it happened running CM10.

Okay, so the exact same thing happened that the OP described to me this morning on 27/09. I had moved several apps to the SD card and then when I came back to my Nook about a half-hour later, all those apps showed as Android icons and could not be launched. Rebooting made it possible to launch the apps again and brought back the normal icons.
Update: Perhaps it's coincidence but it seems that whenever I manually disable WiFi before sleeping my Nook (running 27/09 here), then everything is fine. However, if I forget to disable WiFi, then for some reason the SD has a chance to be unmounted while sleeping which requires me to re-install any apps that are installed on the SD card or that depend on the SD card for normal use.
I'm also thinking that maybe it doesn't have anything at all to do with WiFi being enabled, but instead perhaps it's just having apps running that depend on the SD when the unit sleeps (such as XDA premium which I've had to re-install several times over the last couple of days ) .
In all, it seems like a really vague and random issue that occurs and reiterating my previous posts, I've seen the SD card get unmounted using the original ROM so I'm just not sure what the deal is here.
I have a problem,with my tablet. I found that 3 of my favour apps has disappeared from my apps list and tablet . I don,'t uninstalled it. What can I do to recover an install it again. When I go in my Googly Store my apps list The 3 apps that is disappeared is not listed there. The 3 apps thats is disappeared is Mxit beta, Google translate and Opera Mini web browser. Is there anything I can do to find this disappered apps on my MTN Steppa 7" Tablet. Finally When I try to download a app from the webside or google play store it shows dowloading by don,t stop the download arrow flashing on and on even when I swiched off the mobile data it still shows downloading but nothing stops. When Switched on the Mini data the the download app is Queued. What can I do to stopit and removed it.
i hope really that you can help mevwhit this problem.

Anyone experienced this weird problem before? After some use of about few min usage with 2 or more apps running, if the HOME button is pushed, it would reset the launcher and ask me to pick the default launcher again. I have ADW Launcher, Touchwiz, and LauncherPro. Everytime it does this by prompting "> Complete action using ...", I select ADW and checkmark "Use by default for this action." Some 10 - 20 min later, it loses the selection and ask me again even after reboot, uninstall, reinstall, same problem. I have stock froyo ROM, but rooted, with other kernels. I had latest supercurio kernel, it had same problem. I'm testing Overstock kernel, still same problem. The problem is not so bad, it is bearable as long as I don't press the HOME button. It just gets annoying and happened like 70% of the time of pushing that button. Anyone knows how to fix this? Danke.

I had a similar issue recently. It was an app (MoboPlayer) causing it. Every time I would long press the home button it would lose the default setting. The dev recently fixed it, but I'd suggest having a look at what apps you recently installed and do some testing.

Wait so you are saying an app can cause this? I thought the apps are chrooted (sandboxed) so can't really affect each other except for OS affecting them. What's the best way to figure out what was recently installed? I have lots. If none, I guess I can try uninstall all the apps...and reinstall just a few to see if that holds up.

Just a idea..
-Have Titanium backup.
Backup the launchers(keep 1 there though you need 1), if you have to save the data, save the data.
uninstall it.
reboot.
restore it
that might work?
or erasing the data from the apps might work too

I thought the same thing, but it was definitely MoboPlayer causing it for me. It went away when I uninstalled, and returned immediately when I reinstalled it. I emailed the dev and he fixed it.
If you have Titanium Backup, under the Backup/Restore tab, you can tap the "ordered by" header to sort by install date.
When this happens the easy fix is to go task manager and shut all programs it will reset for you your settings np. This happens to me occasionally when my 4yr old plays with my phone, somehow she jacks it up and erases some the launchers like the phone, etc. So, I found this restores easily.
The problem was ADW.Launcher Free. Without it, things seem alot more stable.
I have a solution
I was struggling with this very issue. I thought it was due to partially corrupt system data. I installed another ROM, from scratch, rebuilt it to my specifications, then added a different launcher once again (different one this time). Rebooting resulted in the default lost and also all widgets showing with an "error loading widget" message in their place.
I finally figured out what was going on. It's because I had selected the option "move to SD card" as the default when installing applications. So, the launcher was on the SD card. Well, this creates a problem with timing, because the SD card is prepared a little later on in the boot process, after the required time to load the launcher. The result? Android draws up the default launcher. And for some reason, the older launcher ends up compromised with some of its default settings.
Once I moved my launcher app back to phone memory, the problem went away.
Hi Guys,
I installed GB_2.3.3_v1.2 and it's been running great, I notice now when I reboot, my default widgets that I remove/trash come back on the main screen and custom app icons disappear as well as my APN settings get wiped.
I noticed this started happening after I installed a startup modification app that someone mentioned on here but has since been uninstalled since it didnt do much, Is there anyway to stop this happening or should I wipe/reinstall the mod?
I was running v2 but had major battery drain problems so i'm back to v1.2 and i'm happy as apart from this issue!

I think your launcher app in on the SD card. If so, move it to the phone memory and try again. I'm not too sure whether this is the reason.

Hi,
I had a look through the SD card and there's nothing obvious I can see.. I think this weekend I might just reinstall the mod, I understand the android system but not so much the inner workings, even though it's unix based (I'm a unix nut)

The biggest problem in cm9 is when you set your voltages/cpu too low, this can cause your device to lock up when turning it on again/opening lockscreen. Another problem which is usually the case is that you have a misbehaving app. The easiest way to counter these little niggles I have found is to do a complete wipe, format your sd card, format system etc, then attach sgs2 to pc via usb, mount your sd card and transfer cm9rom.zip to sd card. Only then flash your cm9 to your sd card in recovery after unmounting and disconnecting from pc of course. This lets you kind of narrow down the problem as you will know that you do not have any files/folders/apps from a previous rom install that are causing issues. I always do this when installing a rom, even if it is just a nightly update, since I used to get problems like yours, I do this now and have 98% less issues. But what I think you have most likely done is to underclock your device too greatly. Also, if you are using cpu profiles, make sure you are not setting screen off profile too low, otherwise it will most certainly freeze on open. Anyways, cover these bases and you should be golden. It is not a rom problem.

Looks like B&N will be sending out an OTA update to version 1.4.3 starting today.
A post here about a deal with DC Comics mentions the following:
To use 'Zoom View' you will need a small update to the software in your Nook Tablet or Nook Color: software version 1.4.3 and you can get it for the Nook Tablet at www.nook.com/tablet/update or for the Nook Color at www.nookcolor.com/update. A free automated over the air update will bring this to your device beginning June 27th (that's tomorrow!) if you don't manually get the update.

I haven't seen this in action, but I'm guessing it's similar to how other 3rd party comic viewing apps can detect and automatically zoom and advance through panels on a page without you having to "drive." The Dark Horse Comic app and (to a lesser, tunable degree) ComicViewer both have this. You still have the freedom to pinch-zoom and double-click to do full page views, but you can mostly just sit back and tap on the right side of the screen, and the app will maximize the viewability of a portion of the page. Very handy for smaller (7" or less) screens.
Different systems do it different ways. I doubt it panel by panel guided view, since the Nook Comics do not seem to have the required panel dimension information, but actually, it doesn't require it.
All it needs is the ability to lock the zoom at the level you want through page turns, starting at the top left corner of the page (left to right) or top right corner (right to left) and the pan and scan would be fine with me. Keep It Simple.
Anyway, this is definitely a change that I'll let go through and then run the manual rooter again afterward.
Changes made by update
Well bn updated my NT to 1.4.3 last night.
Now any app that i had pinned to the home page that was not gotten from BN will not open from the icon. These were pinned to the homepage using app manager.
I have to search for the adw launcher and get into them that way
Any body else have any issues.

Same issue here. Had root but lost it to OTA for 1.42. Never bothered to re-root because I got 95% of the apps I cared about installed. Now 1.4.3 basically broke all of my apps and is not really usable anymore until I root again. Hoping SD card root works on 1.43. B&N are really making the move to CM7 seem smarter than ever.
Verified
So, my nook also updated to the 1.4.3 last night.
I can verify that my device is no longer rooted, however I can still install applications from Google Play, and Amazon's app store. All of my previous applications are still working however not from the Nook home screens.
I haven't tried re-rooting with the sdcard method again yet.
The problem is that the API's changed that App Manager used to give access to the apps. The developer is aware of the issue and is trying to find a different way to achieve the same results. I just changed my default launcher to Go Launcher so I have access to all my apps, at least until App Manger starts working again.
I actually hadnt used mine in a while, but noticed yesterday the keyboard was back to default and realized something was up. Most of my apps still work, but the Play store asks me to login with an account, and when I click ok it just closes. Any ideas?
I don't remember how the sdcard root method pushed the play store, but if it pushed it to /system/apps, then play store is going to be screwed until you clear it out and install it again (reroot).
Edit: Just looked at the root zip file and it pushes all the gapps to /system/apps. The OTA update would wipe these out (as well as superuser).
Any tried Rerooting using the SDcard?
Having the same problem with Google Play.
Has anyone tried using the SD Card to reroot their device?
I think I will try it an see what happens.
SD Root
So, I backed up my nook, and took the plunge and used the SDcard I made to root 1.4.2 to root 1.4.3 and it worked flawlessly.
I had to re-login to Google Play, but I expected that.
The apps installed to the home screen of course still don't work, but opening them with another launcher or the App manager works fine.
I thought the SD card root method was designed to block OTA updates? Checking under the NT hidden settings showed an OTA block, though it now shows that I'm missing superuser since the new update unrooted my NT. Did this update have something different to defeat the block? I guess I need to seach for a new method to block updates (I seem to recall looking at some other posts on that topic).
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda app-developers app
Rooting in itself does not block OTA I believe. It simply gives you the ability to do so (either by changing the version to 9.9.9 or blocking B&N services entirely).
Understood, thanks. I'm a noob and just thought I remembered that being one of the "features" on the SD card along with a bunch of other apps (superuser, gapps, ADW, busy box, etc.). That was an issue at the time because 1.4.2 had just been published and was different than the prior versions for rooting. Thanks for the clarification!
Sent from my BNTV250 using xda app-developers app
I manually installed the 1.4.3 update and the SD Card root worked perfectly. One problem I've had since rooting though is that after updating apps from the Android Market/Play Store, the download arrows in the status bar stay active after the last app is 100% updated. The arrows go away after a reboot, but it's a little weird. I don't know if it's a market problem or has to do with 1.4.3., but everything else I had installed and loaded before the update is working flawlessly.
Supposedly when you actually install CWM on the device itself, not just on SD Card, you will not get updates due to factory recovery not being there. I do know that with CWM being internally installed + using the OTA blocker (999 one or Brian's) works. That is the way mine is and I've not gotten any updates.

And only using CM7. It worked great and I wanted to check out CM9 so I wiped the card and started over to create the dual boot card on the same post. While doing that, 1.4.3 updated on my NT and now the sdcard wont boot into cyanoboot. Does anyone know if this is a problem with 1.4.3 or am I just screwing something up?

Hello,
I'm writing because I've seen this issue since a longer time on my phone.
When I restart sometimes some random app is missing. Thing is when I restart again the app is back in the list and works fine.
I think some time ago I found others having similar issues somewhere hidden in other links on Google but I can't find them anymore for the same of this thread x_x
Normally people seem to have trouble with (all) apps on sd card disappearing after reboot. I don't use that feature; I install everything on internal memory and it is always some other app (random). And the app returns working normally after restart.
Note: the missing app I see missing normally through the system itself, as the app is not listed under apps. So nova launcher and others also do not display it.
Anyone seen this too?
I noticed that titanium backup restores the missing app fine and then the app works without a restart. Also I checked the directory /data/app and also found the apk of the missing app.
How does android get the available apps on boot and how would it forget some of them? And how to fix...?
I'm on android 4.4 (slimkat) on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with leankernel.

Hi , did you tried to flash stock firmware with odin or SmartSwitch and see if the apps are missing again ?
Sorry, I was absent and did not receive a message for this thread.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, it is hard to see. I'm happy with this rom so I'm having a difficult time using other roms. I cannot recall having this on another rom I used before for a few months (bobcat rom, based on Kitkat Samsung stock).
It might be worth reinstalling the current rom for testing. Seeing everything up though takes its time though.
I was kinda hoping someone had that experience and pointed to something like some xposed module which I love. It is not easy to test because I mostly do not know/notice there is an app missing. Just sometimes my quick settings times with the apps show "error". Then I know something is wrong. So easily weeks pass by until I find this again...
