On my Galaxy S4 the following error message is displayed in the (filtered) logs, whenever i start a b4a project:

Not sure what is this message. The origin seems to be in a lower level. Not related to your code.

That's true. The code is executed without problems. The message is just there. A little bit scary, nevertheless.
Anyone experiencing the same problem on the Galaxy S4?

moster67 · Jul 4, 2013

I have the same message on my Samsung Galaxy S3. You can see it as soon as your connect your device in your logs even with an empty project so therefor I am sure it is not related to your code.

This message started to appear for me after flashing a customized ROM.

Erel · Jul 4, 2013

I haven't seen this message when testing with S4.

Maybe it's related to the version of the galaxy 4. I don't have a custom rom. it's a brandnew Galaxy S4 (bought in Germany) without any modifications. Android Version 4.2.2.

Since I installed the new B4A version 3.0, there are no more problems with this error message on my Galaxy S4. The message no longer appears.

pfillion · Nov 14, 2013

I have an S4 with stock custom rom and B4A 3.0 installed and keep getting the message about AID_SYSTEM every time I click RUN on the toolbar.

pfillion · Nov 21, 2013

Anyone still have this problem ?

Jmu5667 · Jan 13, 2014

I have got it on my HTC One X

DonManfred · Jan 13, 2014

Maybe this info helps (Erel?) to get info about how this log is created

private static void throwIfSystem() {
if (Process.myUid() == Process.SYSTEM_UID) {
Log.wtf(TAG, "Static storage paths aren't available from AID_SYSTEM", new Throwable());
}
}

and

#define AID_SYSTEM 1000 /* system server */

Is your app running as system or root or something "not normal"?

Erel · Jan 14, 2014

Does it have any effect on the running app?

Pascual Pérez · Feb 24, 2014

Same happens to me (B4A 3.20, Samsung Galaxy Express 2).

This error is not related to your app. You can ignore it.
