Hang on "Loading..."

Device: nexus6 (shamu)
OS: Resurrection Remix (CM based)/MultiROM AND SlimROM/MultiROM
Root: Yes/SuperSU
Downloaded from: F-Droid
Version: 1.25.1

When I run busybox 1.25.1, the terminal is stuck "Loading..." The menu button works, but the "Information" button does not. Logs are not saved (no /storage/emulated/0/busybox.log file exists) even if logging option is turned on. The issue is not present with 1.24.2 or 1.24.1 (the entire application works as expected). The problem can be reproduced in SlimROM and Resurrection Remix.

Same problem here on a Oneplus 3, OxygenOS 3.5 (Marshmallow bases), rooted with SuperSU.

Please enable "Settings -> Debug mode" and "Settings -> Trace mode" and put here full log.

No log is created. Here's the logcat grepped with the app's PID:
Environment:
Android 5.1, Moto X, Busybox updated from 1.24.2 to 1.25.1

I understood. In F-Droid contains incorrect build. Version 1.25.1 includes static build of busybox binary and must be located in assets/(arm|intel|mips)/static/bin/busybox directory. But now it contains dynamically build (pie and nopie directories). It is necessary to turn to maintainers F-Droid.

[DJaeger]

I can second that.
With F-Droid build its hanging, but with apk from Github releases its working.

[Samsagax]

I can confirm. Installed the GitHub apk and it worked with no issues.

[DJaeger]

This should fix it:
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/1820

[DJaeger]

The fix is merged.
But it will take 2 days until the fixed apk will be available within F-Droid.
As the version number has not changed everyone, who already has the broken version installed, has to uninstall and reinstall the app.

[danialbehzadi]

It didn't fix F-Droid apk yet.

[DJaeger]

The fixed apk is still not available at F-Droid.
At first they had to instruct the fdroidserver to remove the broken APK.
The next step will be (because its still not done) to reactivate the build process for the most current version to build the fixed APK.

[DJaeger]

If your F-Droid is updated you shouldn't see the version 1.25.1-27 as its removed.
You can also see it here:
https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/ru.meefik.busybox#1.25.1

[DJaeger]

The recreation should now be done with:
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/merge_requests/1824

[sm4rk0]

I know what you're saying, but it's still in the app (just updated the repos).
Before uninstallation:

After uninstallation:

But this page has no mention of 1.25.1:
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=ru.meefik.busybox

[DJaeger]

I think it could be, that it remains in your local repo data, because it was installed at the time of updating the repos.
Please try to uninstall and update the repos afterwards.
For me it is not shown anymore.

[sm4rk0]

You're right. Just cleared f-droid data and now it's gone. Thanks.
P.S. Clearing the cache didn't fix the problem, suggesting that local repo data is not kept as cache. But that's out of this issue's scope...

[DJaeger]

@stonewareslord: The fixed apk is now available in F-Droid.
Please test and close this issue, if its working for you.

[danialbehzadi]

It works perfect.

[stonewareslord]

Works for me (if someone else could close the issue that'd be great)

[DJaeger]

@meefik: Could you please close this issue?
