Not sure if this is the right category, please move accordingly. Also not sure if I should try to contact the people developing Lineage for FP2 directly, don’t know how.
Bought a used FP2 about a week ago, installed Lineage on it according to the official wiki via TeamWin, no Gapps this time around. Formatted the sd-card from my old phone as „internal“ storage. Everything is working fine except for a few very strange things:
- Certain apps I install work correctly until I reboot for the first time. When I try to open them after rebooting they keep force closing („[Appname] keeps stopping“ etc.) until I reinstall them.
- I’m pretty sure these apps are either installed on the sd-card or using them like Kiwix but also Pedometer which I don’t know why it would need the sd-card. Other apps that use the sd-card are working fine (e g. Signal which uses the sd-card for backups/imports etc).
- All the misbehaving apps I’ve checked so far have „Samsung SD-Card“ as „Storage used“ in the app info. Trying to move to „internal“ storage results in a „Not enough storage space“ message (there’s about 7gb free space on the internal storage, that pedometer app is a few mb). Apps that are working fine can be moved from sd-card to internal without this wrong error message.
Things I’ve tried so far:
- Clearing the cache/data of misbehaving apps
- Wiping cache/ART/dalvik-cache
- Booting the phone without an sd-card an reinstalling the apps. Result: apps crash everytime I try to open them.
- Reinstalling Lineage (+___+)
- Using another sd-card
After writing this I feel like this might either be a corrupted sd-card (unlikely that both my sd-card are corrupted and not sure how to check this) or a problem with Android/Lineage (or certain apps?) handling „internal“ and sd-card space.
Any ideas what I could try? (Accept for installing FPOS or FP Open and see if the problem persists…)
…
Mh, after reading this it might be that it’s the missing Gapps? Not for Kiwix though … And I’m using lots other apps that are flagged with using Playstore Services that work fine.
I feel like it was just like when booting without an sd-card, the apps just kept crashing after install. But that’s a thing I could try again, (and write down what happens this time around), thanks!
