GrapheneOS
Launcher crashes with "android.os.BadParcelableException" error / System UI crashes
In the last weeks I've had issues with Launcher (default or other) and System UI crashes. Sometimes this results in a 'toast' notifying me; sometimes I just get the screen blinking on and off, either eventually resolving, or dropping me back to the lock screen or rebooting the phone.
It happens both with using the default GrapheneOS launcher and also with third party launchers. And, in the latter case, sometimes the third party launcher will crash, but sometimes I also get 'toasts' notifying me that (the GrapheneOS) Launcher has crashed, even when it is not the launcher being used.
From the error messages in the toasts:

This has occurred both before and after updating to the latest stable 2023102300 build, and both before and after completing clearing Launcher's storage.

I can +1 to this. I'm getting the exact same since a week back or so. Maybe more. Have hoped an update would fix it but no. I'm on the latest version of Graphene OS as of this date.
Here's the crashlog from just a few seconds ago.

I've been able to 'improve' things, by turning off all app notifications (in System>Notifications>App Notifications) and trying to re-enable things one by one. I think "Breezy Weather" is one that causes crashes, but I'm not sure.
Live wallpapers also seem to trigger crashes.
Another crash report...

Settings -> Notifications -> Device & app notifications -> try turning off the notification read permission for the launcher. You could also try turning off the notification dot feature without turning off the permission to further narrow it down.
I experience a lot of these too but I cannot find the mentioned read permission, I can only turn of the entire block or single options outlined below. The errors are pretty much like the ones above, same sort of screen flicker etc. Version is the latest stable build.
Settings -> Notifications -> Device & app notifications provides these options for launcher:
- Real-time
- Conversations
- Notifications
- Silent
Does removing any of these have side effects?
Not there, in Settings -> Apps -> Special app access -> Device & app notifications
One thing which seems to cause this[1] is the notifications from Data Monitor. This was not always the case, as I used it for some time preceding the issues described above.
(In case others are having trouble tracking down which app notifications seem to trigger this.)
[1] Not the "BadParcelableException" error, but the UI crash.
I also have this issue now. Started in December, i don't know that I've installed any new app. perhaps something to do with a December OS update, but ofc. others had it much earlier so who knows?

Live wallpapers also seem to trigger crashes.
I can confirm the Live Wallpaper issue. For me the native launcher kept crashing after an update reboot - until I uninstalled Dark Mode Live Wallpaper, which had been installed from F-Droid. After uninstalling the wallpaper app the launcher worked normally again. I didn't mess with notification dots and I assume it wouldn't have had an effect in this case as there are no notifications from Dark Mode Live Wallpaper. Reinstalling the wallpaper app again didn't re-produce the behavior - in this specific case it seems only update reboot / app optimization triggered it. Rebooting the phone now doesn't cause the issue to appear again either.

Ok thanks, that's good to know. I've not had this issue for awhile now but if it comes back this is indeed useful information.
It think the 2014011600 update reduced the frequency of crashes for me. https://grapheneos.org/releases#2024011600
This happens to me up to 5x times a day. I'm not sure exactly what is causing it because it happens on multiple different apps / while just on the home screen. I don't have a custom launcher installed.
@AlexanderHott Try with launcher notification access revoked.
Just turned it off, I'll post an update if things crash again.
