Lipstick freeze workaround

I do also encounter UI freezes from time to time (once a day seems accurate and NOT during calls). My workaround is the Powermenu2 app in combination with a launcher I created, which basically restarts the lipstick UI. So when the screen is 'on' I can simply 'long press' the power button and lipstick will restart.

Install Powermenu2 from from openrepos.net. 2.0.1.11 Taalojärvi users like me need version 1.0.7-1 (https://openrepos.net/sites/default/...-1.armv7hl.rpm)

I use the nano editor ...

Code:

devel-su pkcon install nano

Create the launcher file

Code:

nano .local/share/applications/liprestart.desktop

Content of liprestart.desktop

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Run LipRestart
Icon=icon-launcher-component-gallery
Exec=/home/nemo/.local/scripts/liprestart.sh
Comment=Terminal application

Create the 'scripts' directory

Code:

mkdir .local/scripts

Create a file liprestart.sh

Code:

nano .local/scripts/liprestart.sh

Content of liprestart.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
systemctl --user restart lipstick

Make it liprestart.sh executable

Code:

chmod +x .local/scripts/liprestart.sh

In the Powermenu2 app, you can now bind 'event3' to the launcher you created and bind the 'long press (display on)' option to 'event3'.

isn't there a restart HS option in powermenu anyways?

There seems to be an option, but it is bound to the 'reboot icon' of the Powermenu2 menu. I did not find a 'lipstick restart' option to bind to the power button.

Now that PowerMenu was mentioned, I don't recall UI freezing before installing it (I installed it several weeks ago)... Need to test.

@minimec

I'm using the same method as you since a few weeks...seems like we had the same idea

...forgot to write about it here, shame on me.
I just added the vibrate option to the restart lipstick event, so that you not accidently shut down your phone.
But sometimes even this method doesn't work anymore, but i can live with that.

Anyone had success on rooting sfdroid? I'm using Sailfish as my secondary rom with multiboot. Enabling Root in the developer options did not work and flashing supersu with twrp also doesn't give me root access in sfdroid? Any hints?

Can you provide a logcat log when you try accessing a root-enabled app?, and when trying to enable root in the developer options?

I'll have a look into it but after I've done the other sfdroid thing I'm working on

Here is the cat log after enabling root in developer options:

And here after starting AdAway:

Thank you.

I think I know why it's not working, I believe we've moved sfdroid from "/system/" to "/usr/libexec/sfdroid/system/", If you can make a note of which files go where via the update-binary file in the SuperSU zip, and then find the appropriate folder under "/usr/libexec/sfdroid/" and move them there then it might work.

EDIT: I think this should be the case for the latest version of sfdroid with CM12.1 base
