App does not start on Android 4.1 (and icon suggestions)

[ninep9up]

Acer B1-A71.

Perhaps, the issue lies in RAM on which the device is low (512MB), I haven't really tried to get to the bottom of it, but if it's that and can't be optimized, I can remove my rating. Try to emulate a budget 4.1 if you have time.

DPI is also non-standard.

Xposed is installed. AppSettings, XPrivacy, some trivial modules. GSF is also replaced with microG which is 0.2.6

[ninep9up]

I see, you already went ways to find out there's a problem with a 3rd-party library, well, good to know I'm not the one who's causing it. Also, I hope it didn't take you long to google that B1-A71 is 4.1 only :)

Thank you for opening this issue.
Now where I know it is definitely a tablet with an older version of android I guess I can implement a workaround.
I use a plugin that uses dart ffi which is know to cause problems (dart-lang/sdk#37771) on phones with android API <= 22.

When I have a fix ready I will update this issue.
Would you be willing to test it out once it is ready?

Edit: Because of the kind help of am15h in this issue am15h/tflite_flutter_plugin#95 I should be able to solve it soon.

[ninep9up]

Sure. But please work on this icon, I'm sorta a graphic designer, it's kinda boring :P

[ninep9up]

Now I think of it, your app was recommended this app on imageboards where we sorta have a local meme of a mascot called hatnyan who is a Yellow Hat's mascot. I kinda influenced naughty suggestions for it to have a custom kanji. So if you could sorta create an icon where's there this custom kanji's being drawn, it would be kinda cool. I can try to see if I'm gonna come up with a design if you agree to this.

[ninep9up]

If this 大 undrawn to its third, it's kinda DA, to think of it.

Yes, I would very much like to collaborate on the icon.
I am no graphic designer at all therefore your help with a good icon would be greatly appreciated!

[ninep9up]

This is sorta a quick mash-up

Trimmed and resized

[ninep9up]

Transparent version with grey instead of black so it's between dark and light

[CaptainDario]

Trimmed and resized

Wow!!!
This one already looks extremely good!

Edit: do you also have a good idea to extend this icon to a banner to replace the old one?

[ninep9up]

Yeah

[ninep9up]

This way's also possible

[ninep9up]

To straighten things up

[ninep9up]

Well, some replacements can be made for people's mental health (I can argue for that one to be immortal, to be honest)

[ninep9up]

To get back where it started

[ninep9up]

Well, the use of space and color

[ninep9up]

With actual use now

[ninep9up]

I said, actual

[ninep9up]

Perfect

[ninep9up]

If you're to credit me for the icon, please use my stage name Buddha
In all, try to write Buddha, with kudos to 2ch/fl/ and unrequited love for HatNyan

[ninep9up]

Also, for that logo, I've made a version with semi-transparency, the area not below the kanji is affected not.

[ninep9up]

And the banner

[ninep9up]

Good just got better

[ninep9up]

To make color more clean, plus the Hinomaru

Your work is awesome so sure I will credit you!

Wow, wow, wow, this one looks absolutely awesome 👏
Now it even kinda resembles japan's flag.
Absolutely in love with it!!

[CaptainDario]

Thank you very much for your help!!

[CaptainDario]

I think it looks very good.

I tried myself to come up with something good but I will stick with your design.

[ninep9up]

He looks like Godzilla and I think it's a good thing

[ninep9up]

Make a reference to it in the description and everyone will feel cool :)

[ninep9up]

The font is https://www.1001fonts.com/theater-font.html

[ninep9up]

You can actually look up any nicknames here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla

I thought it's simple enough, both the position and the subtitle, to get the idea

[CaptainDario]

Thank you a lot for your help with the banner and the icon!
I think it looks awesome now.

Thank you for supporting this project you are now in the credits.

[CaptainDario]

Thank you again.
I will try to fix the problems on low end android devices as soon as possible.
However the dart team does not seem to be very interested in it an it will most likely take some time, sorry for the inconvenience!

It's ok, don't spend more time on it than actually needed (and it's OK if they don't care for legacies), I'm actually processing some irrationally-logical to kanji, emoji-like mnemonics now (which are threefolds faster than RTK probably), so I can live it without it for now, and if these mnemonics end up good, I'm not gonna need the app at all

Though, going through the toyo (because listed) and acting I know what is meant on this whole other level is a bit savage, kinda

[ninep9up]

It's strange, but uBlock Origin blocks the banner, lol

[ninep9up]

And it's RU AdList, JC, someone really hates me here, I just really hope it's not an egregore for this country, I had this talk with my friend yesterday and said some things that perhaps this country is a meta for some unpleasancies and, well, haters, man

[ninep9up]

Also, it reads like it was me who created the icon, but it was you, so probably change it to "with the help from.."

[ninep9up]

Buddhism isn't that popular in Russia, at the outskirts maybe

[ninep9up]

Also, I've tried installing the new version of your app on MEmu with 5.1.1, but it crashed.

[CaptainDario]

Did you run the app from source?
The bug in dart ffi seems to affect some devices with android <= 6 see here and here.

If you are not running from source, could you please try using android 7+ in your emulator?

Installed from Google Play and also from the Releases, I would've run 7.0, but I'm using an older version of MEmu, because it's lighter

[ninep9up]

I see you struggle to put the title to some good use, try to segregate the words with the logo like this. The letters are 335px, the logo is standard 360 from GP

[ninep9up]

You can set different colors for in-app use, like white, to use it with the dark background, or dark-gray, with the white

[ninep9up]

Try accentuating when it's needed where it's needed, like on hover maybe and maybe just the logo part

[ninep9up]

Also, it's OK to scale down if this thing will seem massive

[CaptainDario]

Thank you for your ongoing help!
I am currently thinking about animating the logo.
Do you also have experience with animations and would be willing to help me out again?

That I don't

[ninep9up]

I've been thinking, is it crucial that it shows Chinese characters by default?
非 is straight

@ninep9up No, I did not notice it until now.
I am tracking this #8 here. I think I will fix it with the next release.

[CaptainDario]

I will prevent Android versions < 6 with release 1.4 of DaKanji.
If the Dart team should fix this issue I will be happy to lower the version requirements again.
