Crash while booting, due to no running processes (somehow)

This may be due to a weird ROM or something else, however it is true to say that we are executing code which, according to the doc comment of ActivityManager.getRunningAppProcesses() is "only intended for debugging or building a user-facing process management UI". Either way, we are iterating over something which explicitly says it may return null.
