Android apps are not accessing call logs

Hi all
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but it looks like the most appropriate.
Bought Passport and delighted with this brilliant phone.
I have installed the Play Store via the Cobalt route (thanks, quite amazing, well explained, Thank You )
My problem is with android apps that require access to the call/sms logs and contacts:

I'm trying to get the following to run properly.

1. ACR call recorder
2. DW contacts

Both will install and run fine, neither however correctly interacts with the call log.

I use DW contacts to make notes after calls, the contacts are visible however the calls are not registering.

I use ACR to record calls, the calls are recording (not as well as on android but probably settings related) but the contacts from whom the call derives are not loading.

As far as I can see the permissions are set correctly, it seems that BB is Sandboxing, the very reason I left iOS.
Hopefully there is something simple I've omitted.
or do I need to go the Whitelist route and if so why/how to do this??

with thanks

John

Yes you might need to both whitelist and patch the apps. Cobalt's thread explains. It's also possible that those apps just won't work. There are some that no matter what you do will not work. But try whitelisting and patching first. :)
