#29227 — gforth on android

A few weeks ago I got my first smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.
I downloaded gforth from the Play Store and it worked the first time.
After a few day it updated itself (how?) and it worked still.
But later on it stopped working. When I press the butten, a black
screen as normal appears but closes immediately.
I tried to deinstall and install a few times. No avail.

Google Play Store magic.

Ok, two things for troubleshooting: You find a log in /sdcard/gfortherr.log 
and /sdcard/gforthout.log.  This contains valuable information to debug the 
issue.  And in case you (or something or whatever) messed with the Gforth 
sources, you can delete /sdcard/gforth, which forces it to re-unpack all the 
sources, including those it needs to run.

Ok, I made the latter part automatic if something crashes during startup - 
Gforth knows that it crashed, and will then unpack the sources again on the 
next run.

Yesterday I removed all files and folders (I could find) of Gforth.
Reinstalled and it still works.
And installed Ghost Commander to view any type of file. E.g. gfortherr.log
and gforthout.log. These new files don't contain disturbing info yet.
I will look up how to install apps on the sdcard to make room on the phone
itself.
