The target sdk change from 29 to 30 must have stopped the requestLegacyExternalStorage=true parameter in the app manifest from working. That's documented behavior, but I had forgotten about that and didn't realize that side effect would happen. It does make sense that you'd see Free42 load the standard skin if your custom skin suddenly became inaccessible to the app. (Although it is a bug that it loads the built-in portrait skin when loading the skin fails while in landscape mode!)

Apparently, this doesn't have anything to do with the 2.5.24a fix, even though I implemented that because of a problem with the exact same symptoms. Now that I think about it, the issue that time may have been a Samsung quirk of some sort.

Thanks again. I wish I had noticed and reported earlier that 3.0.7 was loading the default skin (and not the custom one that worked the day before) as that may have been an earlier clue as to what was happening.

Also, discussion of the various folders led me to wonder where .raw files (and others) are exported to by default, since the prior folder you mentioned isn't accessible. When you Export, it now defaults to
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.thomasokken.free42/files, which apparently is the new "Home".

Thanks
