Launcher crashes and refuse to start even after reboot #131

Closed rtng closed 1 year ago

Volla Launcher Version 2.1.14 Volla Phone 22 VollaOS 11.1-2023111-Stable-mimameid

had already experienced some minor vulnerabilities, such as starting problems after deleting notes created with this launcher and similar. But now the launcher doesn't start at all, even after a system reboot. It can also no longer be started directly from the screen. The note that the app does not start and the option to exit the app only appear briefly and then disappear before you can click on the option. After that, the display is actually completely useless and luckily you can just reach the settings button in the status bar to switch to the saving Trebuchet app. It would be important if this bug is fixed in a timely manner. The Volla Launcher makes sense, is actually very practical and I would hate to be without it. But I can't call it stable at all.

The cause may be found in the cooperation with some system settings and the Volla launcher. Just before the crash I tried to change the background for the start screen and the lock screen... but that's just a vague guess!

Hello, you closed this very quickly. I don't see any way here in the volla phone to update the launcher and could not find a way to do so in the guide. So could you please discribe how to fulfill what you suggested? Thanks

The launcher can be updates with F-Droid:

  1. Open F-Droid
  2. Swipe down to update the package information of available software.
  3. If the package information is updated, tap on the clock symbol for open tasks
  4. Tap on the entry for the Volla app to update the launcher

To reset the launcher, you can do the following steps:

  1. Open system settings
  2. Open Apps & Notifications
  3. Open the list of all apps
  4. Scroll down to the Volla app
  5. Tap on this entry and force the app to close
  6. Typ on he entry for app data an remove the app data

Well, the first 1 to 4 steps i already tried before . after swiping down to update i got an errormessage sth like "Volla Repository: no files found for https://fdroid/volla.tech/fdroid/ All other packages did'nt prompt any error. " So there seems to be something wrong with the source (probably the URL?) i don' t know.. The latter steps i can't try without that's been solved.

actually the latter steps i could and i did. the result is that volla-launcher is running again and the lock -screen is black again what i prefer over not having the launcher. But to update the launcher is still not possible as described above.

rtng commented 1 year ago

finally! one needs to check the "Volla Nightly Repository" under the f-droid settings too. Here it was still unchecked as 'by default' . Now Volla Launcher has been updated to Version 2.1.19 as you suggested. Thank you so far and keep it up !:)

btw one or two last suggestions from here, it would be great to be able to open files and apps with that springboard e.g. : " '/'/path/to/folder/or/file" (maybe by using fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ) and " '#' or '*' " leads to app-selection starting with defined char.. but i guess you are already working on that.. ;)
kindest regards :)

Please activate the transparent mode in the launcher. The dark mode automatically configures a black background for the lock screen.

The repository link is broken. If you have Telegram you can write a private message to m_aurel, so I can reply with a repository link.

Good idea. Thanks. We are also working to enable plugins for the skills of the launcher, because many people have such great ideas.
