hi everybody!

im having problems with my moto g again. the last thing i did was installing textsecure because i had problems with threema. i think all those problems relate to using davdroid (instead of google) to sync my calendar and contacts.
anyways, after installing textsecure when i try to open my contacts or my dialer it pops up for a second (and it looks totally normal showing my contacts etc.) and then shuts down immediately (like a crash). in recent apps the preview window for either one is just black...

im not really sure where to begin trouble shooting or how to fix this. is there a way to log whats going on there to pinpoint whats causing this or is there a better way to sync stuff (using the caldav standard). although im not 100% sure davdroid is the cause for this it also could be a xprivacy setting but neither the dialer nor the contacts are restricted by it in any way.

i uninstalled textsecure and after a restart everything seems back to normal again, but i need a working messenger and i'd like it to be encrypted (no hangouts or whatsapp for me).

any recommendations on where to start or working alternatives would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for reading and kind regards

What runtime are you using? If you are not running Art might want to send a bug report to the developer on your issues. Might be a compatibility issue with the phone or davdroid.

im not really sure what 'runtime' or 'art' would be, but im running stock rom (4.4.4, rooted) if thats what this is referring to!?

a bug report might be a good idea anyways ^^
thanks for your input!


edit:

oh yea, i forgot to mention: i reinstalled textsecure without the sms-functionality and now it seems to run just fine (dialer and contacts arent crashing anymore)! maybe this helps somebody for now...
