Auto connect on start-up not working

Environment

• Android version: Android 4.4.4 - CyanogenMod 11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-hlte

  What did you do?

Check "auto-connect" setting, boot the phone. Tried 3 times.

What did you expect to see?

After reboot, I expect a VPN key logo in top bar, and shadowsocks connected, or at least the security pop-up "do you trust shadowsock".

What did you see instead?

No VPN key logo in top bar, shadowsocks not auto connected, had to connect manually.

Note: my phone is rooted, I have Xposed, so maybe this is a problem with the security pop-up, which I could bypass using Xposed? (But if auto-connect is not possible, maybe the option in settings should be grayed)

This feature doesn't work on Android 4.4. Try Android 5.0 or above.

Ok thanks. Would there be a way to disable this setting for Android < 5.0?

My suggestion is to ignore this setting. Actually, the support of Android 4.x would be completely dropped in the near future.

Actually, the support of Android 4.x would be completely dropped in the near future.

Perhaps not so soon. 22.47% of the sessions now still uses Android 4.4 while only 3.56% uses 4.3. :angry:
