New beta 2.2.11 crashes

[Phylon]

What I have done:
start XPrivacy App
enter xpr for filtering
tap on XPrivacy icon
try to scroll up categories quickly
-> screen freezes for a moment, becomes black, then popup: XPrivacy stopped, press o.k.
2 logcats, because adb stopped after switching on the phone, before I could reproduce the crash:

second logcat: started while phone already running, then opening Xprivacy and reproducing the crash

Can you please try if this version fixes the problem:
https://crowd.xprivacy.eu/XPrivacy_2.2.11.apk

[M66B]

I will release a new version as soon as the fix is confirmed.

[Phylon]

Sorry, but this takes a little while... I was running my own XPrivacy build. I modified some strings to fix a menu display problem. So I had to deinstall XP first (not being aware this also would delete my license file). I am just looking for my backups to get the license back to be able to import my most recent settings...

[Phylon]

I have tested your version, this issue seems to be fixed. Good! I hope my whole deinstall-reinstall-export-import-procedure did not interfere. I have also taken the chance to check the documentation icons. Tapping on the icon on function level works, on category level it does not. Shall I create an issue for thatl?

[M66B]

Thanks for testing!

Category help works for me.
Do you block toasts somehow?

[Phylon]

I don't know how to block toasts. At least, XPrivacy itself is completely unrestricted. And I have seen toasts ("restricted by XPrivacy") when I recently had put a restriction too much on my calendar app. Where do I have to look for such blockages?

[Phylon]

Thanks, your hint pointed me in the correct direction, Yet it took me hours to find the solution . Since I didn't find anything helpful about blocking toasts with google I made a logcat out of desperation. So I found a message from the notification service that a notification from xprivacy was suppressed by user request. This message and google finally led me to the app manager. Notifications were switched off for xprivacy. I was not aware of the existence of this setting at all and I do not remember to have even touched xprivacy in the app manager. So I am still wondering about how and why, since notifications seem to be switched on by default for other apps. The good thing is: I solved a second issue I had for some time. Searching for updates didn't work for me, I got no respose. Now I know why. :-)

[M66B]

Thanks for reporting back about this. I am sure this will be helpful to somebody else in the future.
Which app manager / ROM are you using?

[Phylon]

Then I will also report on XDA. I am still using Samsung stock ROM JB 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note and stock app manager. However, I have already invested some hours in ROM research. I will lose a few features but since privacy is more important to me it seems I must move to Kitkat now. I am already almost sure I am going to use Omnirom, but I have not made my final decision yet. -- stopping OT talk now :-)
