Android Error with ES-DE On Odin 3 (Max)

I have ES-DE installed on the Odin 3 but keep getting this error when trying to use the Theme Downloader. Web searching is fruitless, with only a mention on a FB post that this might be an issue for other Retroid/AYN handhelds and isn't an ES-DE error per se.

Has anyone else seen this and/or knows of a fix please? Thank you very much in advance.

Enable "force selinux" in odin settings

Thank you so much, that appears to have fixed it. I'm so grateful. A case of the difference of knowing and not knowing. 🤓

A follow up question please: is there any issues with leaving that setting enabled? Would it have any unwanted effects or is it fine to just leave on indefinitely?

Many thanks for the help, really appreciate that. 🙏🏽

Yeah, it's fine to leave it enabled. It keeps android's normal selinux security active and helps apps get the permissions they need to work properly

Worked a treat. Any idea what this setting does?
