iKeyEx crashing with unknown cause.


Posted on Feb 20, 2009 by Happy Cat

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install 5 row QWERTY. 2. It may crash. 3. Uninstall 5 row QWERTY and it still crashes whenever the keyboard appears. . 4. Removing iKeyEx hookers stop the crash.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Please use labels and text to provide additional information. I've got an email report of crashing and also a forum report (http://weiphone.com/viewthread.php? tid=280235&extra=&page=1). From the description it's clear that iKeyEx is at fault, not 5 row QWERTY. The email reporter is assisting me hunting the bug now. It should not be due to conflict with unofficial IMEs as i've installed iCosta CJ immediately after seeing the report but nothing happens. Since the forum report doesn't include the crashdump or sth like these, main target is on solving the email reporter's case.

Identified crash as this:

0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x31467aa4 0x313f6000 + 465572 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x31464b70 0x313f6000 + 453488 2 GraphicsServices 0x31566ca8 0x31560000 + 27816 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x3145d786 0x313f6000 + 423814

which says EventReceiveThread() in GraphicsServices is causing the trouble. But I don't think it's the cause.

@3: Your iPhone root partition has not enough space. Download BossTool and move the fonts.
