Automatic New Contact Background Process Not Working in Marshmallow

[landry314]

I am using Cyanogenmod 13 (Android 6.0.1) and even though start on boot is on, it never creates new identicons automatically when I add a new contact. I have Xposed installed too and I still don't understand why a module appears there or why I would want to control it from there... anyway, The program works, but only manually. It worked automatically on my old KitKat phone.

(Sorry for the late reply, but I'm going through the issues now after a long break from identiconizer.)

The Xposed module is optional. If it's enabled, Xposed will be used instead of Identiconizer's service to directly create identicons for new contacts.

Does this still happen? If so, is it with the Xposed module enabled or disabled?

Same here with 1.4 on LineageOS 15.1/Android 8.1.

With or without the Xposed module, automatic creation doesn't work. What's the advantage of using the module anyway ? Is it less resource-hungry ?

I'm using DAVx5 (formerly DAVdroid).

On Lineage OS 15.1 it also wasn't automatically working. I didn't even install it on my new Lineage OS 16 phone but I would like it to work better because then I might go back to using it.

Oh, damn, there is a new version. I'm installing it now and I will post any issues as I explore.

Same issue! LineageOS 16 / Android 9. Identiconizer has absolutely all permissions including removal from battery optimization (Has no battery optimization). It create new identicons only when I start it manually, not in background. But as I remember it worked fine on LineageOS 15.1/Android 8.1

Thanks for the reports, I'll debug this as soon as possible.

Pretty much (no need for a service to run), although it's not major.
