What did you do?

有时候打开ShadowSocks的时候，它会闪退，然后再点一下就能打开了。
但选择一个配置后，点击右下角的小飞机图标连接，老是提示“Please select a profile”。
我尝试过将所有配置删除，然后手工添加了一个新配置，还是同样的问题。
手机重启之后再试，第一次打开的时候没有闪退，但还是提示“Please select a profile”
最近3、4个版本都有这个问题。

What did you expect to see?

应该能连接上

What did you see instead?

总是提示“Please select a profile”，但实际上我已经选择了一个配置。

之前都是安装新版本apk来直接替换掉手机上的旧版本，刚才试了一下把软件卸载、清理缓存、重启手机、重新安装，还是有同样的问题。我现在重新安装了4.2.3就可以了。

[madeye]

It looks a Flyme only issue according to reports. @Mygod.

[Mygod]

I don't have a flyme device though. Could you try wiping data?

[liangpure]

I meet the same problem in MEIZU PRO 6. Android version 7.1.1.
I re-install 4.4.0, it worked.

[Cople]

PRO 6s 系统版本和楼主一样，一直提示「后台服务启动失败：请选择配置文件」，清除数据也没用。

[Mygod]

Please post a logcat if possible (although it's most likely database corruption).

[Flammulinavelutipes]

我meizu pro6 也遇到同样问题，哪里可以下载SS旧版本？

[jw587]

这个项目的Code标签里，有个Releases，里面有各个版本的下载

[jw587]

不知道怎么生成logcat

[Cople]

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create application com.github.shadowsocks.App: java.sql.SQLException: Unable to run insert stmt on object com.github.shadowsocks.database.KeyValuePair@bbbc516: INSERT INTO keyvaluepair (key ,value ,valueType ) VALUES (?,?,?)

好像问题出在这里？

logcat.zip

[BurgerTown]

用Kotlin重写后才出现

[Mygod]

OK I suspect this problem is caused by messed up permissions of /data/user_de folder.

Could somebody run this on a rooted terminal and paste output: ls -al /data/user_de/0/com.github.shadowsocks/databases.

Expected output should contain a line like this:

-rw-rw---- 1 u0_a* u0_a* 20480 * config.db

[BurgerTown]

Result

[Mygod]

profile.db shouldn't exist under that folder. Maybe Flyme ROMs are doing a symlink for user_de folder?

Could you also run ls -al /data/user/0/com.github.shadowsocks/databases?

[Mygod]

Also I thought Flyme ROMs are not officially supported. Wtf @madeye?

[BurgerTown]

Here is the result

[BurgerTown]

I think of Xposed Installer when u mentioned user_de folder
The App it self seems cannot creat file or folder in user_de folder even it has the root perrmission
so i have to creat folders and files manually so that i can run Xposed modules LOL

[Mygod]

Yeah Flyme is so terrible at making ROMs that they should just quit already. Report this bug to Flyme instead. Tell them they can't just symlink user_de to user. They can't make this Android 7.x/6.x hybrid. Wtf do they expect us to do?

I can't fix this unless somebody mails me a rooted flyme phone. The last version that will work on this buggy system is 4.4.1. One can also build custom builds that reverts #1525 so that it will work on these buggy ROMs.

[BurgerTown]

I reported this to Flyme but i dont thihk it will make any changes beacuse there is still some devices runs a Flyme bases on Android 6.x and others are running at 7.x

[Mygod]

Avoid Flyme devices in the future.

[BurgerTown]

haaaa

[madeye]

I'm curious how Flyme passed Android CTS?

[BurgerTown]

I think the answer is no

[jw587]

多谢各位大佬的热心支持，只要有能用的版本就知足了，再次感谢！

系统设置 应用管理 找到应用 选择存储 删除数据 重新进入应用就ok了

[jw587]

刚刚试过，4.4.1以上版本不行 @liuwei0514

[thekingofcity]

Thanks to this discussion. I have just decided to change my next phone to OnePlus or Pixel 2.

[shishenwozuile]

Thank you very much

[BurgerTown]

为大家提供版本
Pro6Plus 即7.0.0 用4.3.3
Pro6 即7.1.1 用4.6.6
这应该是最高支持的版本了

[er1c-zh]

exm, any version can pro7 use? thanks

[hmgqzx]

@BurgerTown
4.6.6？😂现在最高版本不是 4.6.1 吗？
我试了 4.6.6、4.5.6、4.4.6 都不行，不试了，用 4.3.3 可以
Android 版本：7.1.1

[Lsnsh]

use version4.4.1, it work!

Environment

• Android version: 7.0.0 with Flyme 7.8.7.24 beta
• Device: Meizu Pro 6 Plus
• Shadowsocks version: 4.4.1

[jw587]

Meizu 16上可以正常运行最新的4.6.1
下面是Meizu 16的系统版本信息：
Android Version: 8.1.0
Flyme 7.1.1.2A

[BurgerTown]

It works now. @Mygod
I think Flyme fix that problem
devices:Meizu Pro 6 Plus
Android Version: 7.0.0
Flyme 7.2.0.0A

[Se7enPanda]

device :MeiLan Note 5
Android Version: 7.0
Flyme: 7.1.5.0A

SS version: 4.7.0 , still show "Please select a profile" when start SS.
ONLY 4.4.1 , CAN WORK!!!
魅蓝note5，当前最新flyme版本号7.1.5.0A（稳定版）情况下。4.7.0版本还是会出现“后台启动错误，请选择配置文件”的错误
换回4.4.1之后就能连接了，应该是Flyme 版本的问题！（Buggy Flyme!!!)
