Hi,
I have a Galaxy Nexus with unrooted stock Android 4.3 (build JWR66Y) and I am experiencing a weird behavior with stock launcher since I have updated to Android 4.3.
It happens when I uninstall any app that is organized within a folder in the home screen, thus the removed app icon remains in that folder, and when I try to open that folder the stock launcher force closes. I mean, every time that I do the steps described bellow the stock launcher force closes:
1)Uninstall an app that is within a folder at home screen;
2)Although the app is removed, its icon still remains within its home screen folder;
3) Then, When I try to open the removed app folder the stock launcher always force closes...
I was just wondering if is it a known bug for Android 4.3? Is someone else experiencing the same issue?Is there any workaround for this issue?
I have searched about It and I couldn't find any help...
Thanks

Experienced the same issue here. Only fix for me was to install a different launcher (nova for me) and that didn't fc, also was a lot faster imo because when I pressed the home button, the stock launcher first had a coffee before showing me my homescreen.

Hi F-Fect, thanks a lot for helping.
Please, Do you know if this bug is reported on Android AOSP bug tracker?
I couldn't find any report of this bug there yet =/
Thanks in advance,
Roger
Please, does someone know if it is known bug with any workaround?
I have searched about it on google, and I couldn't find more information about it...
I recently flashed this onto my device I have cleared every default I can find through the manage APPs settings. I have used root explorer to move and even delete the GoogleHome.APK but no matter what I do it always takes over as the default launcher. I wish to use Nova and even when I have it check the default launcher the Google Home launcher takes over. I know this is a miner bug but it is very annoying.
This a link to the ROM thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501109
DebloatEx v1.4
For me, every additional app which i don't use is too much. Why should an app be installed, if i don't use it? So i wrote a little debloater script, which i can flash over every rom i install. Also i added some extras which i need for my daily use.
Information:
First: This is NOT a full rom. It's a script to flash over a rom. The script uses a aroma installer. Every app can be selected manually for removal. Also the apps are not removed entirely. The are moved to a backup folder. So they can be easily restored if an app, which was removed, is missing after the flash. Additionally you can choose if you want to remove the gallery images, ringtones and notifications ringtones.
Because you can remove the lg launcher and/or the lg sms app, i decided to add nova launcher and google messenger as replacement apps. Of course they are also optional to install.
Furthermore i added a nfc mod, to enable nfc while screen is off or while screen is on and lockscreen is on. And of course this is also optional. You can choose to use stock nfc behavior. Aaaaand there is more. I added the CTT mod from Robshr to eliminate lags. This one is not selectable because i think this mod is essential for our device.
Attention:
The script is in a very early state. There can be bugs, so be sure to make a backup from your rom with TWRP before you flash the zip.
DebloatEx and hasenbolle are not responsible for any possible damage done to your device as a result of flashing.
I will not take any responsibility for bricked phones or lost data.

Selectable extras:
Nova Launcher (as a replacement for the LG Home launcher)

540 DPI Mod
LG adoptable storage mod
NFC screen off mod
NFC screen on/lockscreen on mod
Extras:
CTT Mod v4 to eliminate lag and more. This is a must have. It really helps to improve the lag behavior of the G4.
Restoring apps:
No app/folder will be deleted. Every app will be just moved to the folder: system/__Backup
From there you should move the apps to either /system/app or /system/priv-app back. You should move the folder (and not copy), otherwise the permissions will be messed up. Just use a root file manager for that (Solid Explorer etc.)

Hi,
Thank you for your script. It worked great ! It seems I accidently removed the smartnotice widget and clock programs, including the alarm manager and now I cannot set an alarm. Can you please tell me which packages I have to restore in order to get my alarm manager and smartnotice back again ? Otherwise all is fine and I find it very usefull, thank you !

Dont know what the flashfire app is, but just boot TWRP and flash it from there. But be sure you have made a Backup before.

It should be the "LGAlarmClock" package for the alarm clock. Maybe i should that one leave unchecked. So that it wont be removed by default.
For SmartNotice i think these two packages should be moved back to the app/priv-app folder: LIAInformant and LIAS4URecommender
I will write a note in the aroma installer under the app. Thanks for your post

I have used my debloat list to debloat my Imperium v1.0 rom.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65512967&postcount=17
I am also experiencing Play Services FC.
Did you solve your issue?
What should be restored?
thx
pOpY
In my case I applied the script after a fresh install of imperum rom. I tryed to apply directly and got that play services fc...so i dirty flashed imperium and applied the script with no errors so far
I wiped my phone yesterday and flashed also imperium 1.1 and then directly without a reboot the debloat script. This procedure worked for me everytime without a fc from google play services.
Do you have a H815 EU?

thx for your answer.
Please let us know, if the FCs doesnt come back in some days.
I have now disabled Amplify to see if it is the culprit....
Will let you know about my results.
Do you have Xposed + AMplify running?
pOpY
which packages should I move to :
1. to return to work the settings icon on the notification bar
2. to return to work the "delete all " on the recent app (which is now infinite ) @hasenbolle

I hadn't any fc from google play services till now. I would try to restore GoogleBackupTransport, GoogleFeedback, Velvet, HTMLViewer.
Yes i have amplify and xposed running with several modules. For Amplify i set it up like in the extreme battery guide here on xda.

1. Try the LGEasySettings package
2. what do you mean with "infinite"? For me the delete all button in the recent menu, still work as it should.

Hi,
It's not necessary to reinstal the mod after flashing a new kernel. The mod actually moves unnecessary programs and services in a folder on your phone in case you need to restore them so no need to reflash it again as it already done it's job.
I like it very much ! It improved my phone performance and battery life as it remove many programs and services I don't use. The only problems I met are that it removes the clock, the calendar and smartnotice programs and widgets. But it was easy to restore them from the backup folder and setting the permissions so now everything works fine. Just a quick suggestion - maybe in the next version it would be great if there is an option to choose if these programs to be removed. Thanks !

Now two times my google play services had an fc also. It occured when i was using the c:geo geocaching app and therefore using locations services. Do you use the location services (gps)?

You can choose which programs you want to remove. You just need to untick the app in aroma and it wont be removed. The clock will not be removed by default in the new version.

i am using location services all the time with tasker but i have set it to "battery saving".
After resetting my Amplify settings and using default (nlpwakelock -> location services) my phone didnt had any FC since days now.
Maybe its worth a try...

I just installed this and get stuck at the lockscreen. I try entering my pattern and it recognises it but then doesn't actually unlock the screen. Thoughts?
Where can I find system UI tuner in DP4? Thank you.
It's hidden in android P, but if you are rooted you can download the latest Pixel Launcher Mods 1.2, which has a shortcut for it.
Thanks for responding. I use ADW launcher so I was hoping for another solution.
No problem for that, Pixel Launcher Mods is just an app, if you don't enable launcher-specific option (that wouldn't work just because you're using another launcher), you can use it for launch the systemui tuner and nothing else
Edit: you can grab this app and create a shortcut for it if you want to: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/8p50yo/simple_way_to_get_system_ui_tuner_on_android_p/

Hi Dudes,

Pls help
It's easier to use Package Disabler so you can easily toggle apks and services on/off.
Post a list of what you disabled.
Try clearing the system cache and doing a hard reboot. Like I said dependencies.
At least it's not a boot loop
