I am running cyanogenmod 10.1.3 and everything has been great up until just now. When looked at my phone all the apps were missing. If i go to settings and apps I can see all my apps so they are still there but they are not showing up in the app drawer, home screen or dock I cant access them at all. I really need to use my phone but I cant get to my contacts or call long. Suggestions????

that's an odd one.
you might try the following:
1. Reboot the phone if you haven't already.
2. clear the cache on the home app. (Settings > apps > all apps > launcher > "Clear Cache")
3. Its been a while since I've used trebuchet but if it has a reset feature you might try that as well
a.I would guess the easiest way to get to it would be starting at the home screen then hitting menu > launchersettings . reset
(if someone else actually uses that launcher feel free to chime in.)
4. otherwise you might even try downloading a different launcher from the market and see if your apps show up there.
5. if none of that works you can also try rebooting to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache. (just don't wipe data or you really will lose your apps)
Thanks. I tried EVERYTHING. Luckily when I turned it back on an app had updated so it showed in the status bar and i could get to google play for that and go to my back up app open it up from google play and back up all my apps. And then someone text so I could get into my contacts and save them from there. (if theses hadnt happened i would have been SOL) Then I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything like I would normally do for a new ROM and flashed 10.1.3 again but it kept coming up with an error tried it three times couldnt get it to work. I even downloaded a new and tried that on and it wouldnt work neither would the new 10.2. So something in the phone just doesnt like that ROM!!! I ended up flashing a slim rom and its working just fine now.

So.. I deleted everything that I wanted to delete... problem is when you got to Manage Apps in settings it still shows but now its com.android.packagename and when you click on it it says application not found.
Anyway to take this out?
is no one else having this problem or something? or simply dont care?
Can you throw me list of what you removed ?
I had the same **** right after i removing all unwanted apps from the phone. Needed to reflash the phone in order to get it run propelly again, and after that did bit less "heavy handed" cleaning on the phone... Afaik i noticed, its those Google's apps that coused it... (gtalk or somethink like that)
Well I removed all the apps that I didn't want and it stayed in Settings > manage apps menu. So I reflashed again and deleted one this time (Alarm Clock, for testing purposes). Rebooted then went into the menu and it shows com.android.alarmclock, so the phone thinks its still there but its not anymore.. because when you try to go to it, it says Application Not found and kicks you out of the menu

Thanks man..
Got a gtab few days ago and installed vegan ginger. Mostly good and working, but a few minor issues:
1. Everytime i reboot the tab wifi is off even if on when shutdown. Each time i turn on i must manually turn on wifi.
2. Dolphin hd browser crashes a bit often, but each time it happens i do not get force close message or application killed message, i get no message. It just disappears and when i relaunch none of the tabs i had open are there, so its defintly auto closing for some reason.
3. Even with market fix i am missing some popular market apps. So far i have seen i cannot find official ebay or amazon app, and clicking links for those from app brain, when it trys to take me to market for the app it says cannot find it.
Also nowinstock product links in browser say page cannot be displayed, but on my home windows 7 pc the links work fine.
If it's a fresh install, you might have to nvflash it and start over.
I don't have any of your problems on my Ginger yet.
also dd you do a factory reset after installing? i forgot to do it on mine and it was hung on boot up for a while. then it hit me and after everything was working great.
I did both wipe data and wipe cache after loading the rom, is there another step for factory reset?
I have an HTC Desire Z, and it's been acting strangely lately. I hear it play the startup sound when it's in my pocket, meaning the phone has crashed when I wasn't even doing anything. I suppose it's time for a hard reset. I'm very reluctant to do this, but when I missed an important call the other day because my "com.htc.phone" (or whatever) application crashed and I didn't notice, that was the last straw.
What is a checklist of things I should do before hard resetting? So far, I've:
1) Backed up SMS
2) Taken screenshots of all my home screens so as to put the icons back in the same place
3) Taken screenshots of the application settings screens so as to install all the same applications again
4) Taken screenshots of some of the other settings screens, so as to use the same ringtone, background, SMS beep, etc.
What are some other steps I should take? I'm scared that I won't get my phone set up the same way again. My phone is great right now, it's just how I like it - except for the crashes.
Is your phone rooted? If so, TitaniumBackup (TB) would be all you need. You can get TitaniumBackup, free and paid, from the market. TB can backup your screen settings according to the launcher apps. For example, I use Go Launcher and when I do a full backup of Go Launcher, it will backup icons positions and everything else that I have changed in Go Launcher.
It may not be necessary to reset your whole device if your just getting one or two processes force closing themselves. The first thing to check is see if you have installed an app that might be conflicting with system apps (try and remember the last time it was working correctly and uninstall apps that you've installed since then).
If this isn't the issue you can also try to wipe app data/cache for the app in question. I hope this makes sense

Well, I'm not really sure what's causing the problem. My phone came installed with crapware, and lately I've found software installing itself on my phone without my knowledge. I know for a fact the "QQ Security" crapware the phone came with did indeed prevent my phone from functioning correctly.
I'm unable to install/uninstall or update my apps with google play. Uninstalling Google Play updates doesn't work either. Rebooting doesn't help. Reset my phone to factory defaults once, but after a while the problem cropped up again. Not sure if it has anything to do with some of the apps I've installed.
Another issue that maybe connected to the first one is that when i go into an individual app info, it says computing and nothing happens, no info no matter how long I wait.
Issue #3: The developer options are not accessible. When I press the Developer options, I just get a black screen and after a while it says Settings are not responding.
It's safe to say I really hate this phone's guts. I've had nothing but trouble with it. It's slower than molasses, and I've never installed a lot of apps on it, no cracked apps either, just highly rated free apps and paid apps. It does have a great screen. That's all good I can say about this beta phone. I can't wait to upgrade Note 2.
I'm on the stock rom 4.0.4
Any ideas, other than resetting it yet one more time?
Thanks!
The application manager will open, but as soon as I start scrolling I get a message that the application manager has stopped working and get kicked back to the home screen. I've tried powering down and restarting, and I uninstalled the last few apps I'd added in case one of them had anything to do with it, but I really need to change some app settings and I can't access them. I don't know how long it's been doing this because I don't access the application manager very often.

You may try factory reset or flash stock kdz again.
