strange behaviour after installing AndiSA AOSP 7.x

hello everybody!

I have installed the 20190405 version of AOSP 7.x on my Nexus 7 (grouper) tablet...

first of all i want to -THANK- AndiSA for the GREAT JOB! this ROM is rock-stable

and I never had a single freeze or reset since I installed it :highfive:

the reason why I am asking for your help is that, in spite of ROM stability,

there are some strange behaviour I have been unable to fix... :eek:

1) I have TWRP 3.2.2-0 and before installing the ROM I wiped System/Cache/Data

now System is an ext4 partition, cache and data are both F2FS

after installing the ROM (and booting into the OS) I have loaded Open Gapps (ARM/7.1/pico)

and no problem was reported in the process...

(in the beginning I tried installing either the nano or the full package but the installer stopped reporting

that there's not enough space to do that. no wonder as the internal flash is only 8 MB... so I went pico... )

the installation of both the ROM and the Gapps has been done connecting a pendrive

to the microusb port, mounting the USB-OTG with TWRP, selecting Storage and then Install from the files)

2) after installing the Gapps I accessed my account and went on reinstalling the apps I usually use

this is where the strange behaviour kicked in: I could install -many- apps without a hitch

(for example, QuickDic, Astro FileManager, Google Translate, Google Maps, Youtube, EBookDroid, K9-Mail, MX Player and a few more)

but when I tried installing Firefox, Chrome and Adobe Reader

I just got a "Download pending..." message and after a few seconds "Not Installed"...

the download never started (I already tried the solutions I found in the forums

like cleaning the cache for Gapps but it didn't help... )

2) using Astro FileManager I tried accessing the Internal Storage but...

if I click on the (Download) icon I get an "Open" requester asking me to select Text/Audio/Image/Video

(I suppose I should be presented with a folder instead! :confused: )

if I click on the other "folders" (Pictures)/(Music)/(Videos)/(Documents)

I just get an empty directory (no files, nothing else)

but it seems like I cannot do anything in these folders

I cannot copy anything there, I cannot make new folders, nothing...

It looks like I do not have access (permissions) to the "user data" folders...

but this is kinda strange as I didn't change anything from default installation

and I suppose the ROM installation procedure should have set up things properly...

3) I used Google Drive to install some apps by moving the APK archives to the tablet

and I installed Google Camera 4.2.035.141213305-41025813

(which should hopefully be the right one for my hardware/software combination)

it installed without problems, I granted the permissions, but if I launch this app

I get a message: "No storage found - You may need to reinsert your external storage device.

To change your storage settings open Settings -> Storage."

(of course I opened Setting -> Storage but it only shows the available space

and this tablet does not have any external storage, no sdcard, nothing else.....

so what "external storage" is it expecting to find?)

At the moment I am using less than 3 GB of the 7 GB available

so the weird behaviour is not an error due to "disk full"...

I am out of ideas about what to do/how to get it work properly! :crying:

Please Help!
