Default launcher setting is lost after a short time

[leem53]

Describe the bug Since the last update KISS my phone keeps asking me every few hours to select the default home app and offers KISS launcher as well as fr.neamar.kiss.DummyAct. The choice is only kept for a short time.

To Reproduce Since I don´t know what leads to the issue, I don´t know how to reproduce it but this is what happens:

1. Go to home, android asks to select home app
2. Select 'Remember my choice'
3. Select 'KISS launcher'
4. Use phone for some hours
5. Back to 1

Expected behavior The default launcher should be kept and fr.neamar.kiss.DummyAct should not be included in the selection.

Additional information

• App version: 3.20.1

• Phone: Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite running MIUI Global 13.0.12 / Android 12 SKQ1.211006.001

This selection is pointing to some crash of KISS.

Do you have an option to get some logs through adb or when running https://f-droid.org/de/packages/taco.scoop/ https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.dp.logcatapp/ or something similar?

Without detailed logs i think we cannot do anything here.

Hi leem53, how do you have Kiss Launcher 3.20.1 when the latest version of Kiss launcher is 3.20.0? Thanks, if it exists could you post it on Github?

[licaon-kter]

@Livio78 maybe they built it by themselves https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/releases/tag/v3.20.1

F-Droid will build it in the next cycle.

/LE:says Play so must be Play Beta releases

Thank you for the fast reply. I've tried checking the logs but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. There are not that many errors, I found these for the last three days:

I've seen a rather logical behaviour on some OEM ROMs, basically it sees it crash and for your protection it tries to offer you a way out so you don't end up in a launcher-less state or in a crash loop.

Not a bad idea

Now, are those crashes bad? Can they be made Warnings or some safer thing?

[marunjar]

This looks similar to #2158, but I'm not entirely sure since a lot of information seems to be missing in these errors.

I was hoping to find some stack traces to identify some line of code where actual crash occurs.
