[Q] launcher crash every once n awhile

Hi, im running AndroidNow 6.1 and since i installed ot for the first time(version 3.2) my launcher crushes every once n awhile.
It happens with stock,google,nova or any other launcher - i prefer stock.
What happens really is, when i press home/back to exit an app to the homescreen,there pops the recent apps screen(with no open apps visible)and when i press home again to exit this screen , i see blank home page and then the icons refresh and everything reload. Latet when i open the app drawer i experience a little lag that the icons are reloaded also.
What seems to be the problem? Im rooted and ive got clean master but i dont think its related.
Please help me, thanks.

Am i the only one who experience this?

Happened to me few times. You are using 3rd party launcher?
Ps. You dont need clean master

i use the stock one,but it happned with all . why shouldn't i use it?

Tell me why you should?
This devices does not need that. It does more harm then use.

I love the feature that it prevents apps from starting on boot up.
Do you know how to solve my problem with the launcher crash?

I have the exact same problem.
This happened with the stock ROM and any launcher I tried.
Then I flashed a custom ROM (based on stock though), progressively reinstalled applications and after some time, the problem came again. Then, I progressively froze some applications with Titanium Backup, and now it happens much less than before (2-3 times a day against everytime I press "home").
My conclusion is that, even though that's a launcher crash we see, the fault probably comes from a background application. I'm still searching which one. Did you find something interesting since you opened the topic?

What I did recently was to :
- Disable the application "LIA Informant"
- Disable the application "LIA MrGDBLogger"
- Disable the application "LIA S4URecommender"
- Clear the cache (click on Settings > Storage > Data in cache)
The problem happened several times in a day before, but only occured a few times in weeks since I did this trick. The workaround was probably clearing the cache. But since the problem gradually came back after the last time I reinitialized the phone, I'm still afraid it comes back sooner or later.

I did clear cache a few times now - it always comes back.
Would be great if someone could find a fix for that, because it's very annoying.
The bad thing is that there is no send error report option. At least there would be a starting point with an error info etc.

Have you tried disabling the applications mentionned above?
I (almost) chose them randomly, but it really made a difference for me and the problem doesn't seem to come back.

Done that just now.
Will post back with the results in some time.
Do you maybe know what those apps do ? (I like to know what I'm turning off in case of any other problems)

GDB (in the Unix world) is a debugger. I have no reason to think that this GDB is the same though, I just guessed the problem should come from a system application and this one may be one.

Turning off those apps made no difference.
Was thinking that it may be one of the widgets on the home screen.
Later today, or maybe tomorrow I'll make a list of what I'm using and post it here - maybe this way we'll get whats causing this.

The only widgets I have now are Zooper Widget and Shuttle+.
But honestly, since the problem makes any launcher crash (and I think any application left in foreground when the screen turns off), I believe the root of the problem a system app/optimization, and likely one from LG since not many people seem to complain.
I hope 5.1.1 will come soon to the G3.

Any news on any update ? (not necessarily to 5.1.1)

Udated to 20p yesterday - clean update (just to be sure I've wiped 3 times - 1 before and 2 after the update).
Had a couple of hours of peace, and then it started again.

I updated to CM 12.1 two weeks ago and never encountered this problem since then.

Android 6.0 upgrade issues.....

So 6.0 shows up unexpectedly and at first blush I'm pretty excited. Unfortunately, that buzz was quicky killed when the upgrade caused all kinds of unexpected issues. For example, I simply could not get Wifi calling to activate which ultimately led to a factory reset. After months of finally getting my G4 to run perfectly it was like starting over again. 6.0 might be good for the developers and Google, but I'm not so sure it does much for the user.
Anyway, one issue I have not been able to solve is removing/changing the shortcut application icons from the lockscreen. Before 6.0 all you had to do was go to Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Shortcuts. That setting is no longer present!!?? Any ideas?

never mind!!
the issue is solved by first turning off any lockscreen security (you can use swipe effect only). Once you do this the device then provides the 'shortcut' option described above. Apparently, this isn't a 6.0 issue but something other users of the G4 have faced in the past. The 6.0 upgrade just created a bunch of shortcuts and I had no idea how to remove them!

Any other reported issues?

I know for me, QuickMemo+ FCs on every boot and toggling between apps. I cleared cache, but no luck. I then did another factory reset, but still on every boot get an annoying pop up saying QuickMemo+ has stopped. Seems to happen much less on a different launcher, but still pops up a few times a day. Performing another clean wipe and re-install using the upgrade assistant. Will report back later on the progress.

Android OTA 8.0.0 update issues

Both my S7A and my girl's S7 Edge got the upgrade to OTA 8.0.0 from 7.x.x within a week of each other. They appear to be very similar as far as the changes go, but a few things have us very disturbed. First, battery life has been significantly reduced since the upgrade on both devices. Mine got a new battery installed by Samsung in February, so it is not an age problem. Another issue is the widget we both used to force stop background/unresponsive programs is now gone and nothing is available to replace it. This is a major issue as any time an unresponsive app happens the only way to clear it is to reboot the phone. We both were the habit of stopping BG apps and I think this may be contributing to battery drain. A few, like the SiriusXM app, never shut down completely without being force stopped. Then there is the issue with sharing content. When clicking the Share button for anything the menu that comes up never has the various app icons in the same place. Since the FB, Messenger and now Text icons are all blue and very similar this often results in clicking the wrong one because your mind remembers where you clicked last and muscle memory kicks in. Anyone else seeing issues with this latest update?

- no access by code *#12580*369# (hardware info);
- no access to many activities that were accessed before (e.g. IMS settings);
- no access to create shortcuts using apps from PlayMarket (e.g. QuickShortcutMaker);
- can't install the SamsungRadio app from .apk

update with Odin. Just back up your data first.

Not sure what that would accomplish as I already have the update. I'm trying to find out if anyone else has seen these or other issues with the OTA version of 8.0.0 pushed out by AT$T. Last I remember, Odin was for putting alternative ROMs on rooted devices.

These are some pretty specific issues and I don't perform the activities you do, so I can't comment. For "Sharing", the icons are what they are, just pick carefully.

Just odd that the icons would rearrange every time you hit Share. Does it even when used within seconds of the last time I hit Share.

Android 10 update now force closes all my background apps

Hello everyone, i've been experiencing this problem for a while now: every time i put an app in the background (swipe up on gesture / middle button in traditional), Android immediately closes it for me. I keep seeing in the list of open apps (long swipe up on gesture / square key in traditional) the apps I should have in the background but as soon as I open them it's like I'm starting them for the first time, not saving anything I was doing before. So far i've been able to live with it, but now I can't postpone this problem anymore.
What i tried so far:
Restarted the phone several time
Turned off adaptive battery and battery optimization
Turned off energy saving
Didn't touch anything in the developer settings
And i got another issue probably linked to this one: in the GMail app, the notifications for multiple accounts only works to the account you are viewing, not to the others. (Example: If i'm connected to two accounts, A and B, and i'm viewing B's emails, if i receive an email on A's account the notification won't work. If i receive the email on B's account while i'm viewing A's emails, it won't work either).
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just in case you want to know i'm currently on 11.0.5.0 build.
EDIT 2: Link to my reply with a possible solution to the application issue: LINK

Xiaomi team for our device is at fault. If you want the best android experience you should buy Pixel phones.

I'm also having this problem. Seems that restart helps a bit for some time but not for long. It is really an awful experience to use the phone like this. Having the 4 GB version.

It's the first time that I'll complain about this phone! But the use is unbearable now! I have the 4gb version too! I hope the next update fixes things

As far as I know, this problem is common on our device. If the next update isn't going to fix it, then I'm switching to a custom ROM. HavocOS, RebelOS or LineageOS 17.1.

Never had this problem before but is indeed the first time I'm also considering a custom Rom too!

If you're rooted you can fix this using LSpeed app

Hello again, i apologize for being away for a while, but i had personal problems.
I just wanted to reply to my own thread because today i updated to 11.0.7.0 build, but they don't seem to have solved anything? The changelog says only
Optimization: Increased system stability. Reduced system lag

(other than June Security Patch). I'm reading the replies now, and i have to tell you that (currently) i can't root or install a Custom Rom because it would conflict with my bank's application.
So, once again, no support from Xiaomi... but the great news is that i may have found a solution for the application problem! I will link this reply to the main post, so you can find it more easily, let me know if it works for you too!
What i did:
Disabled Adaptive Battery under "Settings -> Battery ->Adaptive Battery"
Disabled Night brightness (also the plannings)
Disabled Do Not Disturb (also the plannings)
Disabled Rest mode (if any)
Rebooted the phone
Try it out with two application, and if you want to reactivate some features after the reboot, i discovered that "Adaptive Battery" creates problems only after some days since it's turned on, so i suggest to keep it disabled. For the other settings, i can't confirm anything because i haven't tried yet, so let me know.

Thanks
Finaly it worked. :good:
I was searching for this problem for a long time.
Your solution worked with me.
I want to say:
I already jave disabled adaptive battery, Night brightness and Don't disturb mode. But only Recovery mode I needed to disable it, then I rebooted the phone.
Now I can switch between applications, and no application have been closed.
Thank you

what recovery mode do you think?where can I find it? thanks

General Home and Recent Apps gesture (and button) not working after Oxygen OS 13 update

I updated my OnePlus 9 Pro(LE2121_11_F.16) to Oxygen OS 13.0. But after the update, my home and recent apps gesture completely stopped working. I've rebooted the phone multiple times. I've also updated all my apps. I've cleared data for the apps - System Launcher, Gesture_motion Services and Gesture&motions. But none of it worked.

Factory reset

Have you solved it? I also encountered the same thing. Home and recent apps (gesture/button) as well as Setting button on notification bar are not working.

It was solved as the 2nd answer. Factory reset and everything works. Had to do the same, and no issues since.

Thanks for your reply. Factory reset isn't always ideal. Really hope there is any other solution.

I had this on the second day of upgrade. Before that I had edited the quick settings tiles and frozen some OOS bloatware using Titanium. After clearing cache and rebooting multiple times, I tried undoing all the changes (restored the tiles to the initial state and thawed all the bloatware). Nothing happened immediately, but after an hour or so it was fixed, I don't know how. Maybe just coincidence. Anyway mentioned it here in case it works for you.

Hello even I'm facing the issue and did it happen after the factory reset?

likewise, I think its because we edited the tiles as I clearly remember I just did that and the next day it stopped working the notification settings icon, back and recent apps. So if we factory reset and edit the tiles again will it reappear (the issue)?

I had the same issue but mine happened after finishing the setup. I lost internet at my house an couldn't compete the setup it said it needed wifi. So I went on with my day and that night I finished it and had this issue. After that I couldn't fix it. I had to do a factory reset and then everythings been working fine. I think it's an issue with the upgrade.

May 2023. OnePlus 8T f16 update.. it's still happening. Anyway to get it to work without factory reset? Ive tried Nova launcher trick, clearing settings, clearing data from apps for gestures launcher etc, reboots, reverting the tiles. Any other methods to make it work?

Hi,
I have the same issue with my OP9, but strangely enough, it only happens with third-party launchers. When on the system launcher, everything's peachy, but if I use another launcher as default (regardless of what it is, Nova, Microsoft, Lean, you name it), the Home button starts acting out again.
I can tap the Overview button, or the Back button, though, and with a third-party launcher, Gesture Navigation will work OK, more or less.
Maybe OP/Oppo don't like us using third-party launchers after all...

There's a new system update based on Oxygen OS 13.1 (LE2115_13.1.0.5..(EX1)) that seems to have solved the problem somehow.
Security Update dates back to April 2023, though...
EDIT: using Hyperion Launcher, the issue is still there and seems to occur when you are two levels or more deep in an app. For example, if you open the Play Store app, go to your apps and try to update them, you can close the app with the Home button. However, if you open Settings and dive down into the various menus more than three times, the Home button stops working.
