Widgets disappear from my screen

Arnauld

Hi,

In my main user profile, the widgets disappear when rebooting or changing to/back from another profile and I have to re-add them each time...

Arnauld Is your "main" user profile the owner profile, or just a secondary user profile that you primarily use?

There is an issue opened for widgets here: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/453. This one appears to be just for secondary user profiles, but maybe what you're experiencing is related?

Anybody ?

Are you using built-in launcher? Have you been playing with system app(s) permissions?

I am using the built-in launcher et haven't played with system apps permissions. it seems to me that it appears 4, 5 days ago, since the last update???

other8026 My main user profile (where I do all my stuff/spend my life) is not the owner profile (which is almost empty).

It seems to be exactly what I am experiencing.

Arnauld It seems to be exactly what I am experiencing.

In my experience, the GrapheneOS developers don't usually fix this kind of thing since they're busy with other higher priority things. Since it's an upstream issue, it should be fixed by Google / AOSP developers. Usually, if this kind of issue is fixed on GrapheneOS before AOSP, it's usually because a member of the community submitted a well-implemented fix.

Same here. I reported it a while ago

Using 6a

In my testing what I have found so far is that when "Allow running in background" is On then widgets don't disappear.

But when it is Off then widgets disappear.
Can someone confirm this?

(To access "Allow running in background" toggle for a profile, in Owner profile go to Settings > System > Multiple users > [profile] > Allow running in background)

Thank you so much! Yes, on my Piwel 7 it seems to solve my problem. I had deactivated it a few days ago and that's when my widgets problems appeared but I forgot I disabled it.

Maybe you should open a ticket on Github for this??

[deleted] yes but after reboot is all the same
