After upgrade to 3.1.0.11 I have problems with android permissions. The wrong text is choosen for each permission.

As you can see, the icons and text don't match up.

VLC says it needs permission for audio and video locations. Next, I'm prompted not for that, but for vlc to read my sms messages.

Judging from the photo, the wrong text is displayed. The icon for file permissions is displayed by the text for sms permission, and when it asks for file permissions, the text says sms. When I give permissions for reading sms messages, it can read my files. Looking at the permission settings for vlc, the selector at the files icon and sms text is enabled.

EDIT: Uninstalled, rebooted, installed again. It made no difference.

I can confirm it happened with me for VLC also.

I was pretty suspicious of VLC needing access to SMS and though it might be a bad apk.

is this a language/locale issue? What happens if you switch to english in SFOS and reboot?

Not a language issue. It's the same with English(US).

Same behavior on my Xa2.
