Update: disabling Pax usersace hardening in developer settings fixed it. ConnectBot starts without problems then. But after enabling PaX again, ConnectBot still works!
I think the problem is only "first run wizard" in ConnectBot, which seems to use webview for text rendering. So adding MPROTECT exception for ConnectBot isn't maybe best option if it is only failing at "first run wizard", but can be still protected after that...

See #59 and #172. The WebView should only require an MPROTECT exception when JavaScript is used. I don't want to add exceptions for cases where it's not using it. It should be fixed instead. That doesn't mean I will spend time figuring out why this happens, but someone will need to if these issues are going to be fixed.

I have tried starting ConnectBot (both latest version from F-Droid and older version from Google Play), but it crashes right at startup. SSH client is critical for me, can you please help me?
