SELlinux needs to be set to permissive

Some weeks ago I reported here that Locus couldn't work in CM13 or in other android 6 roms that I tried.

By chance I found out that if SELlinux is set to permissive, locus works perfectly, but if it is set to enforcing, it doesn't open.

It may help you sort the problem out, as locus is the only app that didn't work.

Ofcourse I made a typo. It is SELinux.

Good day,

well, I spend a while on this. I have SGS2 device with CM13, but I'm unable to make root works to be able to change this SELinux mode. Without change, I'm unable to simulate any problem.


I have no idea why this change has effect on Locus, but currently I don't have a half a day to investigate it more, sorry.

Thank you.

I'll change it back to enforcing and I'll upload some logs for you to check out.

What kind of logs should I create?

If you may take a log with app called CatLog a while after crash of Locus (do not forget allow CatLog root access to be able to read also Locus logs), it will be best.

Here it is. If I didn't get it right, just say so.

I hope this helps to solve the problem.

May the force be strong in you :)

Thanks for a log. I firstly have to say that I'm quite a newbie if we talk about Linux and mainly this mysterious SELinux stuff.

In log are these two important lines

W/droid.locus.pro(27064): type=1400 audit(0.0:261): avc: denied { open } for name="_libraries.conf" dev="mmcblk0p29" ino=34008 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:app_data_file:s0 tclass=file permissive=0

E/aiz (27064): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/menion.android.locus.pro/files/_libraries.conf: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

which are probably key to this problem. First say that Locus is some "untrusted app" (it is an error from Android itself) and second is error from Locus that it's not able to create certain file on mentioned path. Interesting is, that this file should be by default created in /data/data/menion.android... directory and not this /user/0 ... any idea why this happen?

I've tried to Google little bit about it ( https://www.google.cz/search?q=android+avc:+denied+{+open+}+scontext%3Du:r:untrusted_app ), but there is so much information, that I should firstly spend few hours on study what is going on here :).

Unfortunately I have no idea.

I only can assure that the problem is the enforcing mode. In permissive mode all works normally.

I now have Locus working perfectly on CM13 and other CM13 based roms.

Good day kwizatz,

quite old unfinished problem. Since this, more then year, I received no more similar bug reports that Locus does not run correctly on any CM13+ powered device. Because as I wrote, I'm no expert in this field, I'm closing this topic with hope, you have already correctly working Locus Map app ( if you still use it ).

Thanks for understanding.
