Thread: NEWBIE [and THE OTHERS :)] PROBLEMS with NG INSTALATIONS

I've been using the iGO_PAL v.9.18.27.719974 with Pongo skin since Android 8.x; so far without any problems and very satisfactorily under every new Android version.

Dear all. I haven't used my iGO Nextgens for a few months and in the meantime my phone also upgraded to Android 13. I have noticed, that my iGO applications, winch were functioning fine so far and which I didn't touch, have now strange issues:

On Luna with skin Pongo now does not work the voice recognition anymore. The microphone button on the map is available, it asks for pronouncing the address, but there is not displayed the green bar when microphone is listening. Voices in Regional settings don't display the little microphone indicator of VR-enabled voices. And it is unable to exit from Luna with switch-off icons in the menu or in top left corner. They do not react and I have to kill Luna app manually from Android.

On Nextgen Izrael, Pal and Avic the VR stopped working. It says there were not found any VR-compatible voices (which is not true). And all my VR-enabled voices also stopped displaying the little microphone indicator in regional settings. Online functions on Izrael do not work anymore, but I understand hat this is unfortunately normal.

I am using Samsung S22+ with Android 13. Luna and Israel are with corresponding Pongo skins. Pal and Avic with Arimi skin. All permissions including Microphone are enabled. Tested with Vocalizer, Acapela, Google and Samsung TTS engines. All voices are TTS and VR enabled and worked. All necessary folders for TTS and VR are in proper locations. Of course Save deleted, apps reinstalled and I even tried restore from two years old functional backup. No luck. When I copied the Luna folder from Samsung to my another device with Android 9 (of course with adjusted paths) Luna works perfect.

I already spent several hours on it and I really suspect something caused by Android 13. Did anyone observe the similar behavior? Thank you for any advise.

Yes, it's up to Android 13 and Samsung UI. Mentioned several times.

iGo 9.35.2.272870 On the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 10.5 inches with a resolution of 1200x1920, I have a problem with small icons, text, it's just not an ok resolution and almost not usable. To note, the application is installed directly from the Google Play Store.

You hated browsing the Forum?

If your device is not rooted, you will not be able to make changes in appearance
If there are possibilities, that is, that tablet has those options, reduce the resolution of the application

Guys I have problems installing iGO_PAL downloaded from this location 'How to assemble a functional basic NextGen package' the folder name is "iGO_PAL" in the root, just copied it from the package. Installed the apk and start the installation. All I get is the following screen.

Installation is on Android 8. I have been running it on this tablet for years but I needed a factory reset and now run into this problem. Couldn't find any similar problems with solution.

Thanks, Kees.

Permissions.

Which one did I miss?
'Opslag' means storage and 'machtigingen' = permissions.
I have another, Android 13, tablet and there it complains about support for 13 and installation fails and just stops with black screen.
