New android 14 update possibly causing crashes

[spart0n654]

I updated to the release version from xda after the debug one worked from another issue here (thank you chainfire!) and then after almost a day I started having multiple crashes and reboots that were seemingly random and the only new app/mod was liveboot and after I uninstalled it and it stopped rebooting randomly. I know how to record logcats but don't they get erased on boot? So idk how id save one from a crash

I'm on stock rooted OnePlus oos 14 NA version

Please advise and I'll do whatever you want for me to collect but I won't be able to answer for about 12hrs just started a road trip with liveboot uninstalled and it's been stable the past hour with no reboots since uninstall

I think the only way you can catch this is hooking the phone up to a computer, and running adb logcat on that computer, hope the crash/reboot occurs and the log went over the wire containing the important information, and then you have it on your computer.

It should not be related, but nothing is impossible.

I will definitely try this after my trip but I'm going on a little over 6 hours after uninstalling only liveboot and absolutely no crashing/reboots since. Will test this after the trip when I have access to my computer. Also when it would crash and reboot - liveboot didn't work but my custom boot animation worked. But if I manually rebooted liveboot worked as intended, not sure if that makes a difference either.

No worries and no rush. For sure I'm not in one 😂

Very curious it doesn't show after a crash, would indicate different bootsequences somehow. And perhaps the custom boot animation conflicts with LiveBoot? Not sure how that would work.

Hopefully once you get a logcat of the actual crash that'll provide some hints.

Are you sure crashes doesn't happen anymore after you uninstall the app? I have the same problem, but it still exists after i uninstall the app. I catched a log here, if i understand right, the crash happens in LSPosed-Bridge:

Do you have LSPosed installed?

[spart0n654]

I do have LSposed installed and since I uninstalled liveboot I haven't had a single crash/unexpected reboot. I've kept my other apps, modules, etc updated and reboot accordingly but no crashes or anything. I can try to leave liveboot installed again and I will report back

[Senliast]

Yes, and if the crash happen - you can export crashlog from LSPosed (detailed log tab, then the save icon, then from the saved zip, the /log/verbose... text file should be enough) and upload it here. If you could do it - it would be helpfull. Thank you.

[spart0n654]

So far no abnormal issues so I think we can close this
