syncthing-android: File Browser does not show folders in /data/
Steps to reproduce:
- Start app
- Accept root request
- Check use root
- Check advanced file picker
- Restart app
- Try to add folder /data/user/whatever/ and restart
The /data folder shows no subfolders in the GUI. I can add /data/user/whatever via the WebUI ( it even autocompletes the paths!? ) but it does not show the mapping after save.
Anyway, after the obligatory restart, the app will hang/freeze/just show a white background for a while after that is just crashes. On another device, endless toasters are displayed, announcing that the app was given root.
A complete clean up ( cache/data ) will reset it.
Sony Xperia Sola with CM 12.1 ( 2015-08-22 ) 0.6.6 via F-Droid Nexus 7 (2012) with CM 12.1 ( 2015-08-25 ) 0.6.6 via PlayStore
logcat: app does not start, can’t save one config.xml from Nexus: https://gist.github.com/licaon-kter/fad76b067c248ddb8bde
/LE: Other apps, say a file manager, when given root access can read/write anything in the /data/ folder.
/LE2: On the Nexus I can read the toasters:
"app given root interactive shell"
"app given root interactive shell
/data/data/com.nutomic.syncdroidandroid/lib/libsyncthing.so -generate /data/data/com.nutomic.syncdroidandroid/files/"

@rom1504 , Scheduled oandrbackup to sdcard + usual Syncthing mode = backups for the rest of apps (more manual, but safer and more reliable).
For users which have Google apps installed and generally “live in the cloud”. For privacy-demanding or strict-FOSS users Syncthing may be used on typically-already-backed-up things too.
In my case, the “failed to create a syncthing config” error occurred after updating syncthing (have it in root mode to sync folders on SD card).
I tried the chown approach on the config file but this didn’t solve it. However what helped me to revive the syncthing app (without setting up everything anew):
Syncthing starts and works as usual - with my settings and sync folders preserved. Could this help to solve the issue?
