Android app settings lost when removing Alien Dalvik [released]
Removing Yandex takes Alien Dalvik ("Android app support") with it. What's more, after reinstalling Yandex/Alien Dalvik, I noticed all settings (game progress etc) in Android apps were lost. Nothing catastrophic for me, luckily, but I could see this causing plenty of trouble for other people so I'd say this is a rather high-priority bug.
I didn't know they are packed together like that, thanks for the warning - It'll help many

Kjetil Kilhavn ( 2014-04-11 10:21:31 +0200 )editThis is terrible. My Android apps weren't working anymore (due to a different problem) and I uninstalled and reinstalled Alien Dalvik, because that's what you do when you think, the install may be corrupted. It didn't help but now that I fixed the real problem all app data is gone. Explain that to my son who spent hours building digital railways there....
This is the culprit from
rpm -q --scripts aliendalvik
