4.1.2 Spontaneously "Removes" Apps?

Rooted, so I'm guessing no automagic pushed-down system fix is in the future.

Does anybody know of a fix that I can apply to keep 4.1.2 from randomly "Removing" apps?

Quotes because I don't think they're really completely removed. A recurring situation is a password DB app called mSecure. The icon will be there, but Android says "No such app".... but when I re-install it, all the setup parms and the DB are intact..

Really just a minor annoyance - unless I'm somewhere without wifi and a needed app has gone "poof!"....
