Ah ha! Ok, that at least shows something. Before I changed the raw string to @string/app_name, it was causing the game to display as the package name instead of the label after a reboot. Now, if you've never installed it before, it works fine, but for those have already installed it, it keeps breaking even after installing the update.
I know it's speculation but it feels like a caching issue directly or indirectly to me. Regardless of what's causing it, I'm glad that new installs are working with the updates I've made. Now to figure out how to fix it when someone's installed and has the bug already... Justin - I don't want you to have to spend any money but Light Racer 3D is showing up normally at install but then after reboot, the icon turns to a random drawable resource in the package and the label changes to com.batterypoweredgames.lightracer3d. I've also applied the app label update to this one as well. I don't suppose you'd be willing to test it? You could always refund it when you're done. That would totally confirm it for me. Also, Justin, what firmware version do you have specifically? I want to compare with the versions I've seen it break on before. Thanks!
