Please fill in the sections.

[mitchwalton]

I thought the other three sections set to none were optional. Which ones do you have to have?

[deckerst]

System information and logs: is often useful.

[mitchwalton]

Its seems to be specific to my Custom ROM. I can post system info and logs but it won't contain any private info correct? Reading them obviously goes above my head and I dont want to post info that's to revealing.

[deckerst]

The system info as output from About > Bug Report has nothing personal. The logs may contain the path to one of your files (like the one getting deleted).

But more importantly, if you're using a custom rom, please note that things often go awry because of the rom tweaks. As I can't test on these roms, it's unlikely that I'll address the issue if I can't reproduce it on stock android.

[mitchwalton]

Thanks for the info. I'll be posting I'm just careful with my privacy after what some app developers collect or especially big tech companies. One of the reasons I love your app is for it's stability, privacy, and overall beauty.

[deckerst]

You can also send me the logs by email if you want to be extra careful.

[mitchwalton]

I just posted. Thanks again!

[deckerst]

Just from a quick look at the logs, there are some weird things related to storage.

Do you have an SD card? If not at the moment, did you have in the past and used Aves to manage files on it? Is the SD card fully functional, in the sense that other apps can write to it without issue?

Also, could you please attach a screenshot of what you have in Settings > Privacy > Storage access? (Again, if you think paths on that screenshot are too personal, you can email that to me instead.)

I just changed phones over Lineage OS and other Custom ROMs not supporting volte on Samsung phones. I'll be buying a pixel soon with Lineage OS for volte support and am currently running a googled phone unfortunately. This phone really isn't used anymore but I came across this bug and wanted to help you out. I did have an SD card full of photos but it's no longer in the phone running Lineage OS. I had no problems with the SD card when I ran it in the phone with removing, adding, or changing content from other apps. I'll post the screenshot for you.

[mitchwalton]

Clearing app storage fixed it. It's running smoothly now.

[deckerst]

Glad it works for you now. I'll try and take a closer look at your logs later, and handle better obsolete SD cards. It seems Aves is confused by the missing card.

[mitchwalton]

Thanks and glad to hear you'll dive deeper into this problem. Your an amazing app developer and very stable. One of the biggest problems I had when switching to a degoogled phone and open source apps was bugs. After running the phone for a while I developed my privacy focused app collection that feels like running a common phone without lacking many features. It's rare to find open source guys that compete with big tech.
