I know I saw various posts regarding the Launcher force closing before the 3.1 update.
After the update, I continue to get force closes on the launcher and various applications. For the most part, I only run Honeycomb designed apps with a couple of exceptions.
Anyone else continuing to have the Launcher force close after the 3.1 update? Thanks.

Me too -- just FCs randomly as best I can tell. I run lots of widgets, though. Beautiful widgets, email and gmail, wizz widgets, 360 news, music, etc. Mostly just a minor annoyance, but I'd love to get it cleared up. I've run fix permissions multiple times. Running Prime1.5 and clemsyn-blades v16.
I used to get those FC's often on the launcher and almost any app I used when I was on 3.01, but since installing 3.1 I have never got it on the launcher anymore and only seen it on a couple apps that weren't completely compatible with the TF so it seemed to fix it.
Is the problem in the lockscreen?
I installed Flyscreen after reading about it in another thread -- it adds widgets to a Honeycomb look-alike lock screen. Since it's really just an app, I was still getting the official lock screen after unlocking Flyscreen, so I went into settings -> location & security -> configure lock screen ... and set it to "off".
Suddenly, I'm not getting the launcher force closes anymore. It's only been about 12 hours (including overnight) - but I was getting a couple of closes per hour before. The lock screen settings change is the only thing I've done in/around the time that things settled down. I'm hopeful that this somehow did it.
I'm guessing that Flyscreen isn't necessary -- just changing the lockscreen settings. Maybe you could even turn them back on and not get closures? I'm happy to leave well enough alone on my tablet, but maybe this will help someone else.
** by the way - I'm running Prime1.5 with Clemsyn-BladesOC#16. But I've had the FC issue as long as I can remember, even with Primordial and stock kernels (I rooted right after getting my TF).

Hey,
I pulled GenieWidget from a CM install, and it installed and loaded up fine on my vibrant. For some strange reason, it now doesnt load up any of the news stories. You can load up the news headline reader with the widget, but click on any story and it never loads, never ending loading screen.
Anyone else having issues w/ GenieWidget or the news reader?
Thanks!
Yeah I have similar issues and a lot of freezing & force closes. I usually go to the app in the menu to refresh rather than the widget because 9 times out of 10 the widget will get stuck loading. But if I go to the app it works 1/2 the time & updates the widget. For now I scrapped it mainly because it made my phone boot super slow and most of the time it was just "loading".
Thats very similar to what I am getting, but I dont know what app to use instead. I loved the News and Weather widget
Mine loads the app fine, but has MAJOR issues loading the articles. It either takes forever to load the article (~20-30 seconds) or it just loads forever and never pulls up the article.
Tried uninstall\reinstall, cleared cache for the app, enabled all locations settings, all w/o any luck.
Restoring back to yesterday using ROM manager seemed to fix the issue temporarily, but it came back fairly quickly.
Anyone else w/ experience or a suggestion?
THanks
Yeah I have the same problem too. That screen seems to be universal so it might be related to something else.
A couple of things happened last night. Anyone else experience these?
I went into the market and was presented with a grid of 16 apps, and that's it. I can click on the apps and install them, but searching revealed no more apps nor could I get to the main app market home page or menu.
I attempted to close the market app under settings, applications, manage applications, running services.
The problem? It was empty too. So was the list of installed applications. According to Android, I had nothing installed.
Rebooting fixed this issue, but I don't know what caused it.
Second interesting thing. One of the first apps I installed was the CNN app with the widget. I thought it was a pretty neat widget to have on the home screen. Over the next few days I noticed lag. Keyboard lag, browser lag, app drawer, etc. Just about everywhere. Last night I removed the CNN widget and guess what, lag vanished. I don't know if it's the widget or just a coincidence but thought I would share.

I have had some weirdness with the CNN widget. For no apparent reason, it would disappear from my screen but would really still be there, just invisible because I could not add another widget in that spot. Rebooting corrected it the few times it has happened. I noticed they released an update today (or yesterday) so I installed it and hopefully that will take care of it.
Same problem here. I even tried to remove the invisible CNN widget but couldn't. Restarting the Xoom seems to fix it but hate to keep doing that all the time it disappears on me. Needs to be fixed soon
Hi everybody, since I am on lollipop, there is this annoying lag when opening recent apps. I think everybody has this. In my case it takes between 3 to 5 secs until it opens. I can't stand that.
I already have chainfire s recent app installed but that doesn't work in my case.
My question is, if somebody has a fix or can give me a link to another Rom where the recent apps opens fast?
Help would be appreciated!
Regards
Latest Lollipop stock ROM and all before it, recent apps list opens instantly for me

So you say that you never had a lag on lollipop, when opening recent apps?
That's strange!
Am I the only person with this problem?

Never, I tested it last night by opening about 15 apps, then hitting the home button after opening each one, so they all ended up as recent apps - then once back on the home screen, I hit the recent apps button and in under half a second it opened fine, nice smooth scrolling between them
The only thing that takes a bit longer to open for me, is the gallery, which is about 1-2 seconds opening time instead of instant, probably because I have hundreds of images saved
I'm using NOVA Launcher Prime if that makes any difference, TouchWiz is a laggy POS anyway, first thing I disable
Thanks for the info, perhaps nova is the cause, I will try that
@"detection"
Can you tell me if the Samsung widgets work on nova? Especially weather and splanner widget?
I have most of the Samsung bloat disabled / frozen so can't test
But I would imagine so, give it a try, NOVA is free, but you can buy the Prime version if you want extras, but for general use, the free version does everything and more than stock TouchWiz, and is 10x faster
Things were going great the last few days on Android P until this morning. All of a sudden, post a few playstore app updates, the OS became unusable. Google Services (this apk possibly got an OTA update) kept stopping in a loop and all apps started closing....which ended up blocking me from using the phone (couldn't access settings etc. and was too lazy to adb into the device to troubleshoot). Ended up rolling back to oreo. Anyone else faced this?
More information please, where you rooted, custom kernel.ect
I was getting fc'z like crazy yesterday after a fresh install, what I ended up havingto do was a factory reset in twrp and have had none since.
No root, no custom kernel/recovery. Just pure Google provided images and apps from play store

no such issues here (yet).
clean install, no root.
Clean install of Android P with Magisk 16.1 last night. No issues so far but I'm not even 24 hours in. I do know that the Android P dev notes from Google report that the system can get extremely unstable over time. So the OPs issues make sense.
The way I'm looking at it is if my phone runs perfectly on Android P for 5-6 days before starting to hiccup, then I have no problem quickly reflashing Android P without wiping data every 5-6 days since it takes like 30 seconds and doesn't force me to re-download or re-setup any apps. To me, this would be worth it in order to run an otherwise stable version of Android that most other phones won't get until this time next year.
But, if I only make it 48-72 hours before the phone starts really acting up, I'll probably go back to 8.1 until the next iteration of Android P dev preview is released.
Clean flashed P the day it dropped, flashed magisk and flash when both were updated to support them. Only minor crashes every other day or so.
Playstore has a "huge" bug.Did you have beta apps (like WhatsApp,play services etc)? When you go to the tab "Beta" and try to hit on an application, playstore closes without fc message.
Clean install, no root. Widgets disappear randomly once or twice a day.

Stock launcher or a differnt launcher? I've been using Nova Prime since installing Android P 2 days ago and haven't had any issues with widgets disappearing or malfunctioning.

Stock Launcher. Might have to switch to NOVA. This is getting annoying.
I recently upgraded my phone (Verizon S10+ 128GB) to Android 10 with the OTA update. Since then it appears that i can't keep any apps running in the background. Before i could have a Pokemon go running, go to something else for at least an hour, and when I switched back to it was still running and i didn't need to reload it. Now I will open Pokemon Go, go to a different app and within 15 seconds i go back to Pokemon Go and it has to reload. I have even added Pokemon Go to run in the background and to the exception list under memory. Is anyone else noticing this very aggressive app killing since they have updated to Android 10? I have also noticed that while using Nova Launcher there will be times when the home screen has to completely reload. The icons will take a second to appear and another second for the widget to pop up as if Nova Launcher was reloaded. Does this have to do with the the phone killing all the apps in the background?
I am not rooted or anything. This is a completely stock phone.
That's odd, I am on AT&T and haven't noticed it. Of course I use the 3rd party app greenify as well. Maybe try a data factory reset or reflashing the Verizon firmware with Odin?

Don't think so. I am experiencing this issue as well and the "Don't Keep Activities" option is turned off, so it's not the developer options.
I believe it is directly tied to the OTA update to Android 10 Q. I didn't experience all this force closing of apps before the update on Android 9.
I am curious if I changed the battery mode from "Optimized" in the Phone Settings (Settings > Device care > battery > Power mode) to maybe High performance would it fix the issue? If so, then we have a problem as selecting anything from High performance would kill apps such as Nova Launcher, or if you're editing a document and need to copy and paste from another app it would kill the other app before you can go back to it. This puts your phone back to iPhone 3GS era, and we don't want that
Hope someone finds a solution.
I did a recovery Data Cache erase and that seems to have fixed it. Something must have happened during the OTA. I haven't had any complaints now.

I have a UK, EE locked 10+ and this used to happen to me when i was running a high RAM app (games basically).
I also believe it has been reduced (eliminated?) from the last large fw update my phone went through a week ago (the samsung UI update, sorry thats a bit vague - as opposed to a more recent 128MB security update).
So i'd guess this is not carrier specific and relates to the samsung fw?
Hope this helps.
I'm experiencing this, and I've been on 10 since beta2, but it just started happening today. Even apps that I "lock" are closing almost immediately.....
