Content not rendering - Phonegap

Hi,

I've been trying to build an app using AEM Apps, and I'm facing few challenges here.

1. I could build the Geometrixx Outdoors App, which is present by default, and also install it on both the emulator and a mobile device - it was working fine on both the environments. But. when I make modifications to the same application - like deleting a few pages in it (/content/phonegap/app/en) - I could see the modifications on the web browser. But, these changes could not be reflected onto the app which was built after the changes were made. As a result, I could not see the changes reflected on either the emulator or the mobile device. I was curious to know why it was happening like this.

2. Almost on the similar line, when I created a custom app using AEM Apps. I could see the content on the web browser (localhost:6100/content/phonegap/app/page.html) but not on the emulator. I can only see a white screen after the app gets loaded. Why is it happening like this ?

Hi Kautuk,
            Thank you for those helpful links. My understanding on AEM Apps has improved only after I've gone through each of those links. I still have few questions regarding the working and creation of an app, though. 
1. I wanted to know what does shell do under the folder structure "/content/phonegap/geometrixx-outdoors". Should I manually enter the property values for each property under the nodes there ? Is there a way I can create nodes there (/content/phonegap/geometrixx-outdoors) using the Touch UI ?

2. Why am I not able to create an app in the page "http://localhost:6100/aem/apps.html/content/phonegap" ? As and when I click the '+' symbol on the page I can only create a folder, and a folder within that and so on, so forth. Why is it happening like this ?

Thanks and Regards,
Kameshwari.
