App "uninstalls" itself

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. (guess) have AOKP 4.1.1 and Nova Launcher installed on your defy.
2. install bitcoin-wallet from the market
3. ignore it for some days (or minutes)
4. try to launch it

What is the expected output?
It launches

What do you see instead?
A toast saying "App isn't installed"

What version of Bitcoin Wallet are you using?
Most recent from the market.

Please provide any additional information below.
The data folder still has the blockchain and the keys as after installing the 
app again, resync is fast and I have my old wallet back.
Under /data/app/ there is no de.schildbach.* apart from öffi.

So far I re-installed BW 5 times, mainly to test as it is unusable also due to 
slow sync once I actually deleted the data dir.

Its impossible for an Android app to uninstall itself, unless its got the 
INSTALL_PACKAGES permission (which Bitcoin Wallet hasn't got).

I strongly suspect this is an issue with Nova Launcher. I'd suggest you taking 
this issue there. I had this issue reported for Öffi several times, as far as 
I can tell it could always be tracked down to bugs in custom launchers.

If you haven't backed up your private keys yet, I'd suggest doing that now 
(using root access of AOKP).
