ICS disapearing applications

[Aikimaniac]

Hello folks,

i have problem on gaming console with ICS (JXD S5100). When i install some game for my son (purpose of the device), some games disapear after restart and icon of the game looks like another game (ive had 12 same icons with different name) One guy on xda developers sent me some script to try out but since im not very skilled with source or config in linux/android, i have no idea where to place it. If somebody is able to help me out, i would also post manufacturers url to the ROM but i cant as a noob here and here is the script the guy gave me. Thanks alot for any eventual help.

# Apps2SD using symlinks and bind mounts
# Original Apps2SD script by [email]shade@chemlab.org[/email] (cyanogen)
# Fixed for slow detection of SD cards by _thalamus and output a bit more debugging info so we can see where problems are arising.

# execute any postinstall script then kill it

lol I know this is over a month old, but

Are they still listed in the app manager?

I had a launcher that did that to me, Apps would reappear if I restarted the launcher. So I changed it.

(Apologies if that wasn't your problem).
