New

Support for Lemmy 0.19
Lots and lots of refactoring cleaning up technical debt
Added "Account settings" to replace "Lemmy Settings"
- This new section syncs up with your Lemmy account
- A few things will need updating such as your nsfw setting and sort

Changes

Any action that fail now alerts the user via notification
Show / hide NSFW has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this now respects your account choice)
Sort has been moved to Settings > Account settings (this also now respects your account choice)
Removed "mark posts as read" and "remember across devices" as Lemmy does this automatically

I can't used previous settings. App will crash if I restore from backup. The only way I can use the updated app is by login and use default settings. Dev, please look into this. I don't want to set the settings all over again.

Anyway, if you app crash, delete the data and cache, start over.

Did you have hide username in account picker enabled? If so there a bug with that.

[–] boyi@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Update: thanks. that's really the bug. I manage to get it working. First, I uninstall the updated version and install the earlier version by using old apk (apkmirror). Then I restore backup. After that need to unhide the account picker, and make a new backup. Then, update the app to a new version and sign in, and restore with the backup. The new app will be good to go with the old setting (except the hide username option).

yes, I have. That could be it.

Could be leftovers from anti-piracy measures of reddit sync. I remember it was quite difficult to restore settings through titanium backup.

Nah I ripped all that out
