So I recently bough a new Android phone with the latest 7.1.2, and was happily gonna transfer my regular TiddlyWiki files into the new device. I have always used AndTidWiki on my old phone (Android 5.0) without issues so I was surprised to find that on the new device it could never decrypt any password protected TiddlyWikis.

I tried the default system browser, and many other browsers from the Playstore and non work. I even tough I was somehow wrongly inputting my password, but the only way I could still access my password protected TWs in the new phone is through Firefox for Android (obviously Gecko based), which points to something with Chromium/Blink render engine which is the common point for all other browsers.
I have tried opening from the SDCard, internal memory, or directly from the web (just to rule that out) and no password protected TW5 ever opens, it just fails silently as if the password is wrong,

So is this a known issue, anyone else experiencing this problem? Is this somehow a problem with Android security, or the Chrome/Blink engine itself, or is it a TiddyiWiki incompatibility?
Or is this just an issue specific to my phone/ROM?

Any known way around it, or is there something I can do to help diagnose the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So just for the record turns out it was probably either an issue with Chrome or perhaps with my custom ROM, I can now apparently successfully decrypt on Chromium based browsers.
Did a full system update again and it seems to be working as intended now, either the Chrom* issue was solved or the incompatibility with my ROM is gone.

Go figure... :)
