Installation instructions
The installation process of this extension confused me. I installed it from the F-Droid app. It tells me that the installation process might take upto 10 seconds, I confirm, superuser privileges are granted and then the "installing..." never finishes. After a minute I close the app. I can see that FDroidPrivilegedExtension.apk
is moved to /system/app
but it doesn't work. After I reboot the device everything works perfectly.
My issue is this: If rebooting after installation is required, then this should be clearly told to the user. Because I first thought the extension doesn't work at all and the discovery that it works after rebooting was more like a coincidence. If on the other hand rebooting is not required I wonder what I am doing wrong.
Information: F-Droid 0.101, Privileged Extension 0.2, Android 4.2.2
