My application manager stopped working too. And so far I cannot apply any of the suggested solutions:
- I cannot install or uninstall anything as app manager shows that there are no applications installed (I have over 30 of them);
- I cannot disable any catalogs as it does not load list of catalogs (indefinitely tries to load them);
- I have also Faster app manager installed but this one shows error on any operation too (cannot update catalogs error message).
- I tried to run apt-get update and got error 'could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - permission denied'. I ran it as a root.
- one more weird thing - my phone is very warm now and the battery lasts for about 4 hours, usually I have about 36 hours of non stop using the phone.
Please help!

I am in the same boat, or possibly on the same harbour, as the poster above me.
*I cannot see any applications in the app manager
*I cannot uninstall any apps
*When I run: rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/* it returns rm: cannot stat '/var/lib/apt/lists/*': stale NFS file handle
What does this mean? Any got any ideas of how to fix this?
