I just installed Light Racer on my Sprint Hero. Had never installed it
before. Rebooted and it was fine, still named Light Racer, still with
the same icon. I assume this is because you updated Light Racer and I
had never installed it before.
However, I am having this problem with several other apps, which
variously use their full name (com.x...) or their icon changes to
something weird:
Where (icon)
Quick Settings (icon)
ASTRO (icon)
Coin Flip (name)
Meebo (name)
Handcent Sms (icon)
Reinstalling any of these fixes the problem, which will then come back
after a reboot.
Let me know if more data from me would be helpful.

Justin,
Did the app name say Light Racer or net.rbgrn.lightracer after the
reboot? That was the problem with it.
I had a version out that used a raw string as the app label in the
manifest. This updated one uses @string/app_name. If you confirm
that it's the correct name and not the package name, then that's
certainly one of the bugs right there. People that have installed it
when it had the raw string app label never seem to get it fixed. Even
updating to the one you claim works doesn't work for them. It's like
once it's broken on the device, the cached data never goes away.
That makes we wonder if there is a way to clear data on one of the
system apps that will reset that cache...

I just downloaded it, played a round, rebooted and everything seems fine
with it. Icon looks good and the game loads. Swhat's amiss with
the rest of us? Sheer dumb luck? Poorly coded apps?

Justin, would you be willing to install Light Racer, reboot and check
for me? That will show if I've figured out part of the problem or
not.
Thanks!

I installed pandahome (assuming that's what you meant by installing a
different home app) and I get the same results. Messed up launcher
icons
after reboot.

If this is only happening on Hero, it needs to be reported to HTC,
not as
a
generic platform bug.
Do you know where the HTC bug reporting site is? All I can find is a
simple support form that doesn't even confirm I posted anything.
Has anyone tried installing an alternate home app and seeing if it
still
happens there? I wonder if this is something in their custom home
app.
I'd be happy to try if I can. What would you suggest I try? (I
wasn't previously aware I could install a new home app.)
