Bug Description

I'm running ubuntu touch trusty r116 on nexus 4 16GB. Whenever i try to search anything in the home application or music lens in the dash, the screen immedialtely becomes black and after 10 seconds or so, it takes me back to the login screen. All open apps are instantly closed. I also observed this while opening facebook or music app sometimes.
Also, the overall feel of the os is still clunky. I don't mean slow. Its ok.. Fast enough for a dev release but there is stutter when scrolling horizontally and vertically(switching between lenses). I hope this gets fixed soon. Its a wonderful os already.
The freezes were also present on saucy but it seems to be happening with increased intensity on trusty. I cant tell when the phone is going to freeze and go back to the welcome screen. When it does so, the phone heats up very quickly too.

thanks for your help in reporting & debugging.
the crash file can be found in /var/crash/ on the device.
while on the device run apport-cli <filename-of-crash>
note: you may have more than one...and that's ok to run apport-cli on all of them (might want to look at timestamps to see their relative creation times)
