Hi guys, just a heads up, nova launcher and doubletwist makes a deadly combination. I've had to factory reset my phone twice now due to these two apps. When having nova installed and running, if you add the doubletwist widget to the home screen or launch doubletwist, it will put your phone into a boot loop.

Was quite annoying, reinstalled all my apps and settings twice before I did a google search and realised the cause.
EDIT- Ok, after some more digging I found this on the official doubletwist forums

Seems like it may just be doubletwist and has nothing to do with nova...

Hi all,
I hope this issue has not been raised before, did not find anything with a search.
Sometimes I have the Issue that whenever I try to open the Google Music App, another App is opened (and if that happens, it is that app consistently regardless of how often I try to open Google Music).
If it happens, then it does not matter whether I open Google Music from the App Drawer, from the dockbar, or any other shortcut on the homescreen.
The problem is only fixed when the device is restarted. I went to the apps menu in settings and killed the app that opened (in this case it was the contacts app, in another case Foursquare) when I tried to open Google Music. Google Music was not open and not in the Cache. Still, issue remained until after a restart.
I have not yet found a way to replicate this behaviour in a consistent manner.
I am on 4.0.1, ITL41F.
Any ideas / comments?
Thanks,
Moritz
I had the same thing happen on my HTC Inspire. I think it is a problem with Google Music. My GNex has only done it once or twice.
I am un-rooted and have keep my N7 2 stock since I have had it. A few weeks ago I decided to try the free version of the Nova launcher. I decided to stay with the stock one after several days of trying it out, and thus uninstalled Nova from the settings app list.
Now on occasion the stock launcher freezes after swiping home screens back and forth...or exiting an app....or like things. Usually it just freezes and after 10 seconds or so it unfreezes. Sometimes I get a warning that the launcher stopped responding with the "quit/wait/cancel" popup.
So it seems installing and then a few days later uninstalling the Nova launcher has left some fragments or affected the stock launcher process.
Is there some sort of app/system clean up I can do without doing the system reset? I do not want to loose app settings.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have the freezing issue even when I DID NOT install Nova.
It's a known problem this freezing thing.
I just bought LG G3 and upgraded to Lollipop immediately. The phone is far from snappy as was my G2. It would be ok, however some apps are almost unusable, such as Google Music. It runs on 5-10 fps, especially when sliding the menu from the side. Is there a fix to this problem? Tried playing with settings, thermal mods in secret menu, different launchers, factory resetting but nothing helped.
Also after the last factory reset trusted places from smart lock are gone. Google play services are up to date. Any ideas how to bring it back?
I recently bought one of the unlocked fire phones and added google play, all the services, etc. to it and so far everything has worked fine. i tried to launch the music app today for the first time and it wont open. the phone does not respond at all when i touch the music app icon, so i download prime music app and tried it but it crashes right after launching. this is the only problem i have experienced so far and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or knows how to fix this problem. thanks!
I also just recently bought one of the unlocked phones and had a similar problem. The first night I got the phone I transferred a bunch of media from my old phone including my music and was able to use both the music app and Prime music app. Then the next day both apps went dead. I tried all the usual stuff like clearing data and cache, reinstall prime etc. but nothing worked. Unfortunately I had to resort to a factory reset on the phone to fix it. Ever since then (around two weeks) they have been working fine.
My only complaint is for some reason the default music app doesn't show album covers for some of my music while they all show in Prime music.
I know why the music apps stopped working now! After adding the Google Play Store there is an update offered for Amazon Prime music. This update will kill Prime and the regular music app on the phone. I just installed the update a little bit ago by accident and sure enough both apps went dead. Went back to the play store and my apps and clicked uninstall on Prime Music and it uninstalled the update and now both are working again.
Same happened to me. Just make sure to disable auto-updating within google play store to prevent it from happening again.
what version of the app does work? can someone link this app to me ?
I can't seem to get the Pandora widget to work. I can create the widget on the screen, but tapping the widget doesn't open the app, or pause, play etc. Tried the usual, clearing cache, reinstalling, etc. Does anyone else have a problem? App opens fine from the App drawer, just not from the widget.
I just received my Pixel 2 XL a week ago (12/22/17) and I'm running the latest Android Oreo 8.1.0. I have the same issue with the Pandora widget.
Thank God someone else is running into this. Been having this problem since I began the 8.1 beta, and it continues into 8.1 stable. I'm using Nova Launcher but I've verified the issue exists in the Pixel Launcher as well.
I went back a version or two back, I believe 1711 or 1710 to get the widget to work again.
I saw a response from Pandora on another thread and they are aware of the issue and working on it.
