Android Upgrade from 5.x.x to 6.x.x - Beware

I allowed my Samsung tablet to do this last night from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 and subsequently encountered some problems in apps that many other EO folk may use.

1 EO Traveller
After the upgrade EO Traveller v1.10.0 (latest) would not start. It loaded the dune graphic then stalled on a blank white screen. I had to uninstall and re-install and that meant downloading all the data again. A quick driving test indicates it is working properly now, but the process is less than convenient.

2 Ozi Explorer
The Android upgrade changes the naming convention for storage, so your data and map filepaths may not/will not work.
Ozi for Android FAQ and General Information provides some help.

After changing the filepaths it seemed to work, but when I stepped down through my maps at the current location, at the fourth step Ozi crashed. It was repeatable. Turned out the fourth step was asking for an ECW map to be loaded. The Android update has stopped ECW files from working in Ozi, for reasons being investigated - see the link above.

I elected to delete the folder containing the ECW maps (they were the Aus 250k series) pending resolution of the problem. The alternative is to use Ozi's Image To Oz converter tool to convert all the 250k ECW files to .ozf4 but there were too many and I have other 250k options, so I'll wait for a resolution of the ECW issue.

Just a heads-up. If you use these two apps then don't do the upgrade if you haven't got time to fix the issues before departing on your next trip. For me it was a time-consuming right-royal PITA.

Cheers
