In a fit of bad judgment, I did something stupid and now I'm paying the price. My question is this: Is the mess I made easily fixable, or do I have no other option but to factory-reset and start from scratch?
Here's what I should not have done:
Even though my external SD card likes to spontaneously un-mount (thus making use of the camera and gallery annoying at times), I went ahead and used Link2SD to link most of my games to the card. "What's the worst that could happen?" I asked myself. "I'll get booted out of a game a few times and maybe lose a little progress?"
Ahem. In the middle of a game, the SD card spontaneously un-mounted. Now none of the linked apps will launch. That is, my phone will hang for a long moment until finally I get a message that says the app has crashed. Link2SD says they're not linked. None of them.
I haven't tried uninstalling the apps yet, because I'm not sure just how spectacularly that would fail. And via which app should I attempt the uninstallation? Task Manager? Link2SD?
So yeah, I seem to have broken the symlinks and I don't know how to fix them. I am prepared to wipe everything clean and start fresh if need be. All of my pictures are automatically uploaded to Dropbox and I can similarly back up data from more important apps. Also, I have not yet processed the JB update if that's relevant to how you'll frame your replies.
Thanks.
