This is the error I get when using it on LG OPTIMUS G3:

I fixed it yesterday. Here is my solution (simply copy/replace the method into your library and have fun):

public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
        if (shouldDrawText()) {

            float[] textPosition = getBestTextPosition();

            // ADDED FIX FOR LG G3
            // @author CollegeDev
            for (float position : textPosition) {
                if (position < 0) {
                    return;
                }
            }

            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(mTitle)) {
                canvas.save();
                if (hasRecalculated) {
                    mDynamicTitleLayout = new DynamicLayout(mTitle, titlePaint,
                            (int) textPosition[2], Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL,
                            1.0f, 1.0f, true);
                }
                if (mDynamicTitleLayout != null) {
                    canvas.translate(textPosition[0], textPosition[1]);
                    mDynamicTitleLayout.draw(canvas);
                    canvas.restore();
                }
            }

            if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(mDetails)) {
                canvas.save();
                if (hasRecalculated) {
                    mDynamicDetailLayout = new DynamicLayout(mDetails, textPaint,
                            (int) textPosition[2],
                            Layout.Alignment.ALIGN_NORMAL,
                            1.2f, 1.0f, true);
                }
                float offsetForTitle = mDynamicTitleLayout != null ? mDynamicTitleLayout.getHeight() :
                        0;
                if (mDynamicDetailLayout != null) {
                    canvas.translate(textPosition[0], textPosition[1] + offsetForTitle);
                    mDynamicDetailLayout.draw(canvas);
                    canvas.restore();
                }

            }
        }
        hasRecalculated = false;
    }

I am getting reports from that crash on a whole bunch of other devices such as the Nexus 6.
