Root All my apps disappeared on MIUI

Have they really gone (as in /sd-ext/app is empty), or is it that the link from /data/app to /sd-ext/app is broken?

It might be worth installing a terminal emulator and typing:

su
a2sd reinstall

to see whether this fixes it. Though if you install a terminal emulator you could try the command "ls /sd-ext/app" first to see whether the apks are still there (if it complains about permissions, use "su" first).

If the apks have actually been deleted then Ti will get them back, but I'd wonder how they were deleted. What actually happened before they disappeared?

Thanks for the replies.

I have titanium and miui backups so I still have them.

I tried the ls /sd-ext/app command and it said no such file or directory. I did the a2sd reinstall but at the end it said cannot mount sd.

sounds like the ext partition is corrupt. can you browse to sd-ext with rootexplorer?

how was the original ext created?
