Database conversion loop on new version
Solved
The new version of Locus Map free downloaded and updated. When I started it, I chose the recommended options. I then get the database conversion dialogue. I chose yes and it says "Process successful, start Locus again". I restart Locus and it goes back to the database conversion page dialogue again.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and moving it to the SD card, but it hasn`t helped.
This is a Galaxy Note running Jelly Bean, stock.
Any ideas?

Hello Ian,
version that did conversion was released somewhere in September last year, so seems you did not update too often :). Anyway sorry for this problems. Conversion should run correctly, because it`s quite tested, but seems that your device has still some problems.
To explain it a little. In Locus/data directory are some files that ends *.sqll. These files are old databases that needs to be converted into new system. All should be backuped in Locus/backup as an before_conversion_x.zip file (rather check it).
New converted databases are now in Locus/data/database directory, you may check it also.
So, I suggest to rather manually backup old data if you don`t want to loose anything, and then delete all these *.sqll files in Locus/data directory. Locus will then see only new database files and all should works correctly.
Let me know, I`ll gladly help if there will be more problems

Hi Menion,
Thanks for the speedy response. I`m not a big Locus user (at the moment), so it seems I haven`t opened it for a while, which is probably why it asked to convert this time around.
I followed your instructions and deleted out the sqll files and it started up fine.
Cheers for the help.
