How is the webview implementation set up.? This is located under developer options.
Are any other apps crashing?

Try searching Google on the play store and see if any apps need updating. In particular android Web development app

I have the same issue, both search bar and google now close/restart. If I uninstall google app update back to the base 8.1 version then the issue goes away but miss several new features.
Webview is set to 'Chrome 62.0.3202.84'
'Android System WebView 61.0.3163.98' is greyed out so can't see if that makes any difference.
Any suggestions appreciated, hoping DP2 might resolve

Seriously guys?
I already opened a thread and no one answered me.
Here the link:

With DP2 still the same issue.
So annoying!!!!

Final 8.1 is out I wonder if it is fixed. I was having the same issue with DP1 and 2. Back on Nov 8.0

I am also having this issue with the final build. I did a clean install as well.

I am really surprised that there is not more people with this issue.
Both of my pixels have this going on.

Have you tried the factory image and keeping the "-w" intact
That is a "clean" install

All resolved for me after OTA to final - DP2 from both OTA and Factory clean install were still crashing, final OTA arrived couple of days ago and has not crashed since.

I had this problem as well. Seems to be related to the wallpaper. I had Aurora Time Lapse set - changing to a static/non live data wallpaper fixed it. Change back to Aurora and the problems come back.

I'm using Aurora, Time Lapse as well, but no issue since the final OTA from DP2 - just hoping the problem does not return, will bear in mind changing wallpaper.

This has fixed it for me for now but as soon as I go back to the Aurora wallpaper the issue comes back.

After the force close, I opened the market and when I exited the wallpaper was working.

its hit and miss, i have e-mailed the dev, this is the best live wallpaper by far
Same problem here. I eventually ended up restoring to stock rom cause I didn't find that CM 5.0 added anything for me, sure JIT really showed its powers in the benchmarks, but nowhere else that I noticed.

Huh, really? I didn't notice much difference, but the fact that it did away with the slight stuttering when switching desktops was enough for me.
I had the same problem.
However I've noticed that if you use it with Home+ it doesn't force close.
I'm now running Cyan 5.0 beta 2, Home+ and JIT flawlessly.
I got a reply from the Dev today, he is running stock rom so i did a logcat of the issue and e-mailed it back to him per his request, i'll keep you all updated as things progress

The app was updated but still seems to FC on Cyan 5.0 beta2. Yes, I can do it every time I'm left with a black screen after a force close.
I go into the market, go to my downloads. Then I click on the Beizer wallpaper app, and hit home. Voila, Beizer works.
try uninstalling the app and installing it again, i e-mailed the dev the logcats and he updated the app to version 1.2
I'm running CM5b3 and its FLAWLESS now both beizer and lines are working now
just reinstalled the latest version and its working great! love it. It is also my favorite background

[APK]Focal - New CM Camera APP

found this apk floating around xda.
can't remember the original OP I snagged it from.
no need to flash.
no need to push.
just install the APK.

working for me on touchwiz rom(mf9).
enjoy.

Still really buggy, for some reason the panorama crashes the app and the last video Ive tried recording showed it was recording but it didnt. SSo be careful if you plan on using this as your daily camera app.

yea its still in testing according to cm..
installing the apk does not replace your current camera though so no worries really..
still fun to check out and mess around with!

Yea its definitely fun to play around with. Dont get me wrong, when the bugs are ironed out this is going to be far superior than the stock camera ui. Im going to make the switch for sure, but as it is right now I thought Id let peeps know that you may not get the video you think your recording when using this.
not working for me! app starts, all options are there, but no picture - no back nor front camera view. help? original post?
This happened to me a few times, but it always FC'd when I tried to exit out and after restarting it worked again.

try clearing the apps data
:what:
Works for me in pacman alpha cm10.2-android 4.3. Had to clear data first now works perfectly.
It wasn't this apk. Just came in the rom.

Extremely Buggy
Will be my favorite camera app when it works. All kinds of problems. Sometimes clearing the data works, but the next time I want to use it, I have to clear the data again. But even so, it may or may not work... If you open the picsphere deal, then close it, and try to open it again, it won't open. The settings allow you to change them, but they don't change the image at all (unless the data clearing works...). It also should allow us to save to SD card. I use the version(s) deployed with CM Nightlies. I wish they would give this some love... They may be working on it, however, the change logs don't reflect any updates... Please make this app stable!
Using CM10.2 Nightlies on Sprint Galaxy S 4...
This app is now available in the google play store in beta form. I have to say it's pretty good, not quite ready for prime time but definitely puts the stock camera app to same in many places.

Only issue on my end is that the pictures are warped. Both cameras seem like they have a fish-eye effect.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Great beta app! This will be great when completed! I just downloaded the beta from the play store (since it's not included in CM any longer) and it's still super buggy... So, is there any recommended course of action to clear any data that may cause issues for users? I read somewhere to simply clear the data via app settings and reboot, but it didn't help with my in-app settings issue. Basically, I can change the exposure setting, yet the image does not change at all. I also attempt to change the white balance, yet the change never applies to the image. Every once in awhile, the app will mysteriously work, until I close out of that particular instance. Then it reverts to the preformentioned state...
I've been hesitant to make this my default camera because I kept having issues with it and photo sphere is broken. ;/
^ don't dig up old threads. Focal is on the Play Store.

[Q] Lost home screens with Google Experience Launcher (GEL) Android 4.4

Hallo,
every now and then, when I restart my Nexus 5 Android 4.4 all of my extra home screens on the right have disappeared. Sometimes when I create new screens to the right and then restart, by some computer magic they have returned, but alas not always. Is anybody else experiencing this behaviour? Does any body know how to prevent this happening?
Or which alternative launchers have been tested and found good under 4.4?
Best regards to all
Nick
I have exactly the same problem.
I think it appeared after switching on Google Now.
Have you found anything on the subject ?

Hi Spikes,
unfortunately I have not yet found the cause or any further infos to the problem. I'm going to look into other launchers - also because the icons are so large on nexus5.
Bye
Nick
Same problem on my Nexus 5.
4.4.2 Android Version installed and the problem still survive.
Please, help us!
Same problem here, but with GEL on Nexus 4 on Android 4.4.2. (I know it is a Nexus 5 thread, but I though it would be helpfull).
Trying to resolve the matter, I came up with a solution(?) :
1. Put new shortcuts/widgets so as to get back the same number of screens as you had before.
2. Settings --> Home --> Old Launcher
3. Home button
4. Settings --> Apps --> Google Search --> Clear cache (this step may not be necessary)
5. Google Search --> Force stop
6. Home button
7. Settings --> Home --> GEL
8. Home button
This triggers something and I get my original screens back (most of the times)
Please verify this solution and report back.

Hi,
I have all the same problel about the disappearing additional home screens: it appens randomly(apparently) when ,at the moring, I turn on my Nexus 5.
(last standard firmware 4.4.2 on,GEL Launcher and Google Now disable).
I found this other strange thing: when i found disappearead additional home screens, if I had new home screens with only app in each, when I reboot, SOMETIMES, i found the old disappeared home screens(whit the preovious app icons in them)
I thought it was a problem of "Clean Master" "Delete Junk Files" operation but I cant reproduce the problem everytime.
Anyone have hints about this problem?
thanks
PS: Happy New Year!!

Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem? I recently installed PA 4.1 on my Nexus 4 and found that my homescreens kept getting wiped after reboot. It's hugely annoying and I can't tell if it's a problem with the ROM or the launcher.

It's a launcher issue with some people. I don't have the problem but have seen others report it. I prefer action launcher pro anyway

It's best not to rely on buggy launchers made by third rate coders.
Is there any way to find out if they know about this bug and fixing it?
I am currently looking into alternative launchers but I will miss Google Now feature.

If by 'they' you mean PA, then yes we are fully aware of it being a Google problem and not one we can touch since their launcher is closed source

By they I meant Google of course, sorry.
Found this thread by googling for symptoms. At least now I know it is common issue and can use another launcher as a workaround.

Hi and thanks for responding! So is it an incompatibility between PA and the GNL or could this happen on any ROM? Is Google aware of the issue?

It works perfectly if I use lawnchair 2 launcher. But I don't wanna use that.
check the google app. goto settings/notifications and then current weather. my was the same as yours and i changed something but don't remember exactly what so that might have been it.

yeah, i agree. it's frustrating for me that i can't remember things. maybe when you're near 70 you'll have perfect memory, i don't.
Update the google app, if its already updated to latest then join the beta and update, will fix it after reboot

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.

Anybody Seen This?

Had anybody ever had Google Play Dpi randomly seem to change. I opened my Google Play today and the pic in the screenshot is what I got. How do I fix this?

Yes, this happened to me. I assumed it was a theming issue so I updated Swift Installer, applied the new themes, and rebooted. Currently the problem is gone for me.
