A few days ago I installed a app from an .apk file. Unfortunately, my phone decided to die during the installation process. Since then I have a weird entry in my drawer looking like this:
If I click on it, I get a toast saying "No such app found". This alone wouldn't bother me but since then my phone also crashes after about two minutes after it started.
I've tried investigating this problem but I couldn't find anything really helpful. The only thing I found is a post from StackOverflow describing what happens when you install an application. Based on this I think there went something wrong with the intent registration, corrupting a intent register or something like that.
What I've tried so far is cleaning the cache and installing and uninstalling the app again. When the app is installed again, the weird entry in the launcher disappears and even after the app is uninstalled, it doesn't reappear. However, my phone still keeps crashing and after a reboot it reappears.
Does anyone have a idea what is going on here and how to fix this? I would be very thankful for any help :).
Additional information:
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 (herolte)
- ROM: LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0)
- Rooted: Yes
EDIT:
I've also already tried getting the logcat output before the crash but unfortunately it shows nothing really interesting and I think the reason for the crash is not included because it crashes before a write to the logcat takes place.
Also, for clarification, I would like to avoid a factory reset.
EDIT 2: I've now tried rebooting into safe mode. The drawer entry persists, but the system doesn't crash here. Also, when long pressing on the app and selecting "App info", the launcher crashes with the following entry in logcat:
