Maxima on android questions



Hi Eric,

Sorry for not responding promptly.

As CM7.1 is not an official firmware, I have no solid idea what would be the
reasons for your situation. As I posted the source code of Maxima on Android,
you may look at the source code: here are some possibilities:
- My app uses storage capacity check API.
- My app uses /system/bin/chmod to install Maxima binary.
You may check how well they are supported on CM7.1.

Hope this helps...
