No longer able to switch to a specific user profile after updating to 2025112101

nandohyphen1 I've pretty much stopped using my profiles now unless its absolutely nessicary

lol, another reason to KISS and keep owner-only setup for mainstream user

MetropleX I'm using a Pixel 6a. I have developer options OFF. I also don't have security preview releases turned on. I could give that a try later

nandohyphen1 shouldn't be the issue so only do so if you're happy either way. Will see what I can figure out, however in the mean time if you haven't and can grab the log post it along with the others in the 6151 issue above.

nandohyphen1

MetropleX thanks. Yeah I know for sure it crashes, but I cannot get a log from the crash since it won't let me swipe to look at my notifications and after I reboot, its gone by then.

nandohyphen1 could still be there after under SETTINGS>SYSTEM>VIEW LOGS might be helpful to add that you're experiencing the problem and then e-mail logs at grapheneos dot org if you can't grep for it yourself.

nandohyphen1

MetropleX OK. I'll make it crash now and then I'll send in logs. :)

nandohyphen1

I just had a chance to email logs in now :)

I may have fixed the problem. So I have a profile I call 'Testing' which I use mainly for testing apps I don't want to install in my main profile and for testing beta apps. Well, I had the latest beta version of LawnChair launcher installed, and of course it had some bugs which I reported on GitHub. I uninstalled LawnChair, and now my phone doesn't freeze when I switch profiles. I think that because of one of the bugs in LawnChair (it would crash when I tried customising apps), it would cause my main profile to freeze, and must have somehow interfered with the other profiles as well since switching from them to my owner profile also caused freezing. But somehow LawnChair must have been causing the issue. All is working again, so glad I got this figured out. :)

nandohyphen1 report back in a couple of days just in case if everything is okay and the same issue is reflective of @fubero too we can mark as solved.

Will do! :)

Just posting an update. All is working normal with user profiles. It must have been LawnChair somehow, because when I reinstalled the latest Beta version in my testing profile, it happened again, but when I disable/uninstall LawnChair, all my profiles work.

nandohyphen1 Thanks for reporting back!

@huberto the above from nandohyphen1 apply to you too and fixes the issue?

Does not apply here - no Lawnchair nor any other defaults-surrogate apps installed.
I use the same set of apps on non-GOS AOSP derivates, where I don't have crashes on user profile switching.

What I THINK made a difference is the source of the apps - I moved profiles from one GOS device to another (same model, Pixel 7), by restoring with SeedVault (1-2years ago).
On the new device (same GOS version, same model), profile switching caused frequent crashes while it rarely crashed on the source device back then...

I also rememer having seen lots of keyguard and profile termination commits fixing related crashes, back when network location service was implemented in GOS.
Maybe some of them got lost at one of the QRP rebase pulls?
But that's just from memory, which isn't alsways source of truth... If I find time I'll search for the commits I have in mind, but I guess this won't happen since I don't follow GOS repo closely and it's simply too many - for a reagular user.

Meanwhile the lost landscape capability of the launcher/home screen (with the A16-QRP1 rebase) is driving me nuts - bicycle and car mounts are fixed landscape orientation - not funny to search the maps app while driving...
