+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Installing git-annex on a new Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4 using [Android 4.4 and 4.3 git-annex.apk](http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/android/current/4.3/git-annex.apk) does not give me a working git-annex environment. It seems permission is denied to install many of the app files.
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+1. Install git-annex
+2. From within `adb shell`, run: `/data/data/ga.androidterm/runshell`
+3. Try one of the included programs, e.g., `git`
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+The current (as of 2014-08-30) git-annex for Android 4.3 and up on Android 4.4.4.
+
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+Running `/data/data/ga.androidterm/runshell` from `adb shell` gives me:
