@xyzhunter, any chance you can take a look at the issue? It's still present, even after reinstalling. I've partially solved it by just installing from the playstore and restoring my progress from Facebook, and therefore bypassing the auto-clear issue. It was the same issue presented by the guy who made the video. :'(
Auto-clear seems to persist, even when restarting, reinstalling, wiping cache and data, almost everything. Only thing I can think of to fix would be to create a new Phone VM instance, reinstalling, and never using auto clear. What do you think?
