Describe the bug
Launcher crashes in unexpected places. In my own case i think it happens when the device is overloaded with open apps and processes, but some people have reported it crash right on startup, some when setting a new shorcut or a new widget.
When it does crash, it unsets itself as default launcher and the device asks again for a default app. In my case, this will always lead to repetitive crashes, only triggered by trivial actions like opening the app drawer.
Rebooting the phone seems to stop theqrepetitive crashes.
At the same time, the preinstalled launcher works fine.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Unknown actions… maybe open lots of heavy apps, perform quick actions in the launcher itself ?…
2. Launcher crashes
3. Device asks for a new default launcher
4. Set Launcher as new default
5. Launcher will then repetedly crash on minor actions

Expected behavior
Should-not crash, and should also retain its default app status.

Device info (please complete the following information):

• Model: Nokia TA-1157
• OS: Android 11
• App version SMT 5.1.1

I have been using it as my go to launcher for the last few weeks and I haven't observed any crashes so far. Do you have any more tips on how to reproduce this?

No, sorry. It happened a lot less since then, but i can't say why. Maybe something i changed in the way i use my smartphone, or an app that i used, since then uninstalled. I don't know really, but it still does happen. Le 16 août 2024 18:39:47 GMT+02:00, Naveen Singh ***@***.***> a écrit :
