Faulty memory card maybe.

Format your memory card and check if you still have problems with your apps.

In which way are they damaged?

apps stored in memory card as .apk, as the phone restarted it changed to .ini file.

That's an interesting issue!
Try this:
1. Move all the apps back to your internal memory.
2. Delete off the .android_secure folder.
3. Copy your important stuff back to the computer.
4. Format the memory card from your phone (not from your PC).
5. Reboot the phone.
6. Copy back all the stuff and move the apps back to memory card.
See whether it helps.

It looks like there is a serious problem with your phone handling the SD Card. I can't suspect the phone, but only your SD Card.
Try with a different SD Card. By the way, is this card came with the phone? If yes, try to get a replacement in the service center.
And, you are welcome to press the "Thanks" button anytime you like .

yeah i will try that.thanks mate.

Damn it my sd or my phone.
The same problem is back again. I wonder is it my phone or sd. Using new sd, and reflash with fresh rooted stock room.
Now it keep on damaging file after file.
Just like the 1st time i got my arc.
Seems like no one elses experiencing the same problem.

Best way to clean up SD card?

I have a lot of random residual files from who knows where in my SD card, probably leftovers from unclean uninstalls. I just want to know what is the best way of determining which files are safe to delete, and what is the easiest way to delete like all the random junk on your SD card without having to go to rootexplorer and manually doing it yourself.

That's what I would do. take off your important files/photos/etc. and then format the SDcard.

I third this option. My G2 came with a bunch of stuff on the SD card so when I rooted my phone I just copied everything on the SD card onto my computer and then formatted it and then let the phone create what it needed. If there was something the phone needed I just copied it from the backup onto the SD card.

Thanks, but how do I know what stuff to include back into the phone?
So, from my understanding:
Step 1: Drag everything from SD card to PC.
Step 2: Titanium backup?
Step 3: Reformat? (And how do I do that?)
Step 4: ? ? ?

Titanium Backup only backs up whats on the phones internal memory, not the SD card. So you can do that if you wish but I don't see how using it has any bearing on cleaning your SD card. If you have a SD card to USB adapter then use that to copy all your stuff off the SD card onto the computer then just format the SD card with your computer. If you don't have the adapter, then plug your phone into your computer and copy everything over. Then reboot into recovery and then format the SD card from there or you can do it from within Android by going to Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD card.

I just want my current apps and contacts to be saved.
I guess my question is, if I wipe out everything on my SD, will my apps still function and will my contacts still be there?

Yes, as long as you back them up. Also you should backup your contacts to google. Its much easier

yes but thats only for nandroid backups

so in order for me to keep my nandroid backup I would need to copy that folder into my newly wiped sd, and as for titanium backup, i should be good to go, cuz they are internal?

You should copy your nandroid backups to your computer before formatting, then copy them back afterwards if you will be needing to restore from them.
As far as Titanium Backup, they're by default backed up to the SDcard also, you should copy these over or sync it up to dropbox (via the app).

Manage Backups

For some reason my sd card keeps filling up. How can I delte old backups on the card? On my EVO I used to be able to manage backups somehow and delete the ones I did not need.

Browse to the ClockwordMod/Backups folder on your sdcard and delete your old backups.

Assuming you're saving your backups to your external sd card, there will be a folder there called clockworkmod. go in there and then backup. Each folder there is a separate nandroid, just delete the folders of the ones you don't want.

You can use root explorer and find the folder clockwork mod inside sd card or external sd card folder. It should be under the backup folder inside clockwork folder. Delete From there.
In short
Root explorer > sd card/external sd card> clockworkmod> backup. Delete from there.

The problem still exist

I had the same problem happen with the Nexus 4 I had. Wonder if it could be something to do with the update? So far no problem with my Note 2.
