Hail, XDAers!

It's a simple to explain issue: I had my C1904 (sometimes it says C1905, I don't know what's the difference, at all) running CM11 by flashing PecanCM's FXP329 or 330 -- I can't remember exactly. There were, of course, some bug's as it's very typical of beta releases and, aside of it, it's a very good job from Free Xperia Team.

Well, it ran near flawlessly (no serious bugs, reliable for daily use) for one and a half week. Then, last thursday, it went unusable: Google Now Launcher started to crash, crash and crash, then crashing one more time until it... wait, it won't stop crashing. It went crashing/restarting the launcher in a frenetic way.

My first obvious reaction was restarting the device. To be honest, I tried it for at least five times. Everytime, it worked well for the first ten~fifteen minutes, then entering the launcher crash loop again.

Next, I've tried out some other launcher apps (notably ADW and Apex). Nothing changed.

This time, I tried flashing FXP332 (it was, for me, a good time to upgrade, since my CM11 was some versions old -- perhaps FXP329 or 330, aforementioned) without wiping anything. Just upgrading and hoping it to fix possibly damaged system files. Anyway, it failed, too.

As a last resort, I've made a complete wipe (cleaned every partition but internal storage and SD, of course) and reflashed a brand new FXP332. However, the system were quite unstable and contacts importing process failed several times until bam: the launcher crashed, and crashed, and crashed, and crash... and cras... and cr... *device freezes*. I had to remove the battery and turn it on again, like I did the several other times, but, this time I started it to restore stock 4.3 C1905 ROM.

It's rooted, it's working, but I must confess: I miss some CM11 built-in flexibilities and it's clean default interface.

BTW, I had cat'ed down logcat output (full version attached to this post), although it won't says anything much different from the following excerpt in it's entire extension:

Have you tried using trebucket launcher? It is better in my opinion.

Hail, RedLed!

Well, I tried. In reality, it was my first launcher. However it bugged with one Google widget, and refused to work. So I started using Google Now, which worked flawlessly 'till one week later. In my latter attemps, it was just impossible to use Trebuchet, as it were already messed up.
