[release notes] Kvarken 4.1.0

On XA2 (h3113 single sim), I do experience a problem with Android Gallery:

  • when I try to open it via Nova Launcher, it does show blank black screen without any pictures
  • both image and file picker in Discord does not show anything (sharing file into app works)
  • trying to download image in Discord restarts the app without actually downloading it
  • in Frost (OSS wrapper for mobile Facebook site from F-Droid) downloading an image or video restarts the app
  • in Messenger Lite, image upload says “No app for image select found” (normal file select works, downloading an image works)
  • in Firefox when I try to download an image, app goes into restarting loop
  • in Kiwi browser (Chromium based), when I try to download an image, the app crashes
  • etc.

I tried to overcome this with an alternative - Blackberry Gallery, but it does not work either (the app itself worked on Pie). On 4.0, everything worked as it is supposed to work.

I was able to overcome the downloading by sharing the image/video into X-Plore File Manager first and then it worked, but, it is an overkill over just pressing one button…

Does anyone know about a possible solution?

EDIT: Solved this by

devel-su
rm -rf /home/.android/

and rebooting

However, another issue found. microG cannot be granted “draw over other apps” permission because of “feature not avaliable” in the Settings screen.
