Please describe the problem.
On a CM11 4.4.4 install, the startup will fail with the default startup command "git annex webapp".
The error message shown is:
Falling back to hardcoded app location; cannot find expected files in /data/app-lib
git annex webapp
However, using "git-annex webapp", git-annex will run fine.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Launch the beta or nightly build for 4.3 and 4.4, wait for error message
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Version "current" as of 2014-11-15 and also version "nightly build" as of 2014-11-15 on Android 4.4.4 CM11, device: Oppo Find 7a
Please provide any additional information below.

Closing as this was a bug in the deprecated Android app. done --Joey
I have the same behaviour on CM11 4.4.4 on a Moto G as well. When i installed git annex i would be greeted by the same message, but then could start the webapp from the menu successfully. i then proceeded to setup my repo, which synced flawlessly, if i had started the webapp as stated above. however my files were never automatically synced when just starting the app (terminal window).
Therefore i resorted to "cd" to my repo and "git annex add *" and "git annex sync --content" every time i wanted to sync.
i tried changing the startup command to "git annex assistant --autostart", "git annex assistant --autostart --foreground", "cd ../DCIM;git annex sync --content", "echo test" but nothing seems to start (not quite sure how to check for that).
for my shell i had the default/data/data/ga.androidterm/lib/lib.start.so and /data/data/ga.androidterm/runshell if that makes any difference?
not sure if that's related when trying to manually invoke "git annex --assistant [--foreground]" i get:
and back to prompt. Not sure if this is CM(11) only?
my git annex version is: 5.20150527-gfc92f13 for android 4.3 and 4.4. if you need more information i'll be happy to provide it, to get this out of the way
I'm closing this bug report because the git-annex Android app that it was reported on is now deprecated. Instead, we have a way to run the regular git-annex build for linux on Android in termux: https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/install_on_Android_in_Termux/
There were a lot of problems with the way the git-annex Android app was put together, and I hope this new approach avoids them. If you try it and still have the bug you reported, please followup and I'll reopen it.
