Blank white icon after updating to v. 2.0

Hello all,

is it only me or someone else as well? After updating to version 2.0 I see only a blank white icon instead of a big white "M" on the red background. Everything else works fine (so far), but what's wrong with the icon???

Thanks for any help!

iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1


PS: Yes, the old icon with reading glasses on it was visible all right.

Yes. I have received another report about this. I cannot reproduce the problem but I'm investigating the issue.

Is your device jail-broken?

I've had this happen with other apps. To fix, I would delete the app and re-download it.

But wouldn't deleting the app wipe out your library along with highlights, annotations, etc.?

Yes, that's what I am fearing as well. Would it indeed?

It would, yes. Have you tried simply rebooting?

Rebooting? Of course I tried it - no effect, the icon is still white...

@vigrom - I know that this might be a big hassle especially if you've got many books already loaded, but could you try removing Marvin, rebooting and reinstalling from the App Store? During launch day the App Store had many problems distributing Marvin and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the possible cause.

Or you could try removing the Marvin icon from /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache/

You will have to reboot afterwards.

@Philantrop - there is no Marvin icon in this directory... at least not on my system.

@Kris - Your suggestion sounds promising, if I find time I will try it tonight, if not - tomorrow. While at it... Is there a way to temporarily store all my books from Marvin's library to get them back to Marvin after deleting and reinstalling it? (Except emailing them to myself.)

Many thanks!

I would try iFunBox. There is a thread about it here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=221231

I second MeSue's recommendation of iFunbox.

Close Marvin on your iDevice, the start iFunbox.

After connection, navigate to Marvin's folders. Copy the Documents folder in its entirety to your computer (as a folder), then navigate to the Library folder, copy mainDb.sqlite to your computer. The Documents folder and the mainDb file represent a snapshot of Marvin's library.

After reinstalling, you can replace them to get your library back. Again, do this while Marvin is not open.
