Looks like it being caused by two separate issues - database becoming inaccessible and failed loading of status tiles.

I hardened the code running both, so it now will either work as intended or at least should not get the application to an unusable state and should print an error message.

I have also noticed during testing, that MyDocs sometimes becomes read only (for all applications). Did anybody notice something like this before ?

I don't know if this is caused by modRana or some other program accessing MyDocs. It can be fixed by connecting and disconnecting in mas-storage mode or by restarting the device. An appropriate mount/umount command would IMO also fix it.
Regardless of modRana, I had MyDocs turning itself into read-only, and the only way to solve it was a reflash + eMMC reflash.
I think the problem was corrupted files copied over FTP/USB Mass Storage.
Specifically, Music with odd encoded folder names which got messed up.

I found it in this manner :
remount /MyDocs as rw (don't remember the exact command)
then while being root, run
Code:
cd /
find . -name "*"
It will basically display ALL the files/procs/handles on your device.
If it reaches any currupt files, you will get an error and the mount will switch back to read only.

I also had nitdroid installed, and I thought it might be it - but I don't think so.
