Describe the bug

Upon launching App Manager the screen is flickering
The application takes several taps before it will respond to input
The keyboard will appear then disappear over and over again making it impossible to type
The app will frequently suspend itself to the background or close but you can simply re-open it on the screen it closed on.

To Reproduce

Install App Manager v3.1.5 on Google Pixel 6 Pro running Android 14: Firmware build: AP1A.240305.019.A1, Mar 2024

Expected behavior

For none of the above issues to be presented; I would expect the app to be responsive, not close, the screen not to flicker and the keyboard to be functional.

This is not an Android 14 issue since I run Android 14 myself. However, this could be a display-related issue which I cannot fix without getting hands on the device itself.

It's unfortunate because the bug makes the app essentially unable to be used on my device. If you need additional information or someone to test any updates that might resolve this issue on the device, I'd be happy to help.

Unfortunately, I know how difficult it is to attempt to troubleshoot and resolve something when you're not able to replicate the problem,.

You can share a video of the issue, recorded from another device. Make sure to be quite thorough so that I may be able to guess why it may be happening. Note that, no version or breaking changes have been introduced in v3.1.5. So, it should be more or less identical to v3.1.4 except a few internal changes. So, if v3.1.4 works but v3.1.5 does not, you have to report this as well. Also, make sure you use the release builds (not debug builds) for this test. Debug builds have extensive logging enabled which may result in more work in the UI/Main thread and cause similar flickering (assuming you've got an amoled or similar display).

Also, make sure there's no apps interfering with App Manager via accessibility. Revoke the accessibility permission from all apps before doing the above.

This issue was occurring for both versions for me both 3.1.4 and 3.1.5. However; I think this may have been a weird glitch with my device. I haven't changed anything but I'm not able to re-create the issue anymore.

I had reinstalled the application and rebooted multiple times previously and the problem continued. I reinstalled again to attempt to re-create the problem but the app is now working, no flickering, no randomly sending to background and the keyboard is responsive.

This could be due to dex optimisation. If this happens again, please perform a dexopt operation on App Manager via terminal and see if it stops after that.

I've just installed the 4.0 beta release (after uninstalling 3.x, as I previously installed via F-Droid with a different signature) and I'm also seeing the behaviour described here.

there's a lot of onFocusEvent spam

Android top bar is flickering, I'm guessing due to switching between app and system theme colours
some of the back swipes aren't even visible in the video, not sure if that's down to the frame rate going choppy from the lag or because the inputs are actually cancelled before displaying the on-screen hint
most taps of menu options or the top-left back arrow button are similarly ignored

What exactly do I need to run in order to do this? Internet searches are leading me to pm, but...
