1008954 - [Homescreen] Crashes when I toggle edit mode with too many icons.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

STR;
* have more than 35 icons
* long press an icon

Expected:
* toggle edit mode

Actual:
* homescreen crashes

Peak 1.4.

Depending on the exact number of icons, you sometimes need to try to move an icon to another page.

See bug 1004988 comment 2 for a logcat. Clearly we see an out of graphic memory issue, so it may be specific to Peak. But it may also reproduces on other devices, just using more icons.

I tried removing the animation for edit mode and it fixes the issue for me. Maybe we could try to detect a previous crash and disable the animation after the restart?

QA: can you try this on Open C 1.4? If the bug is not triggered, can you try with more icons? Thanks !

Note that once he has enough icons the user can't escape this bug, because he can't remove an icon because of the bug.

Unable to repro on Open C 1.4, tried with 60 icons and the device entered Edit mode with no errors.

Backlog per comment 2 - since we can't reproduce on a production device.

Here is the patch I use to make my peak work.

Mass update: Resolve wontfix all issues with legacy homescreens.

As of 2.6 we have a new homescreen and having these issues open is confusing. All issues will block bug 1231115 so we can use that to re-visit any of these if needed.
