close almost all old Android app bug reports
The old git-annex Android app is now deprecated in favor of running
git-annex in termux. I suspect all or nearly all of these no longer apply.

### Please describe the problem.
When my android phone tries to decode files downloaded from a ssh remote using shared encryption, gpg errors occur.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Setup is very similar to my other bug report in <https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_android_and_xmpp/>.
Only difference is the location of the annex on the android side.
I have put it on the /data mount which uses ext4 to avoid the /sdcard fuse mount, which does not handle symlinks.
1) setup git annex via webapp on laptop:
* local annex
* remote annex via ssh with shared encryption (tried two different servers, one with and one without git-annex installed)
* share with my devices using jabber.me account
2) setup git annex via webapp on android:
* local annex in /data/data/ga.androidterm/annex (ext filesystem)
* share with my devices using jabber.me account
* ssh remote is automatically added via XMPP
3) add file to annex on linux, which gets uploaded to the ssh remote
4) symlink for file is created on phone and data downloaded, but never decrypted (see logs below)
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Ubunut Linux 12.04 with git-annex version:
* 5.20140127.1 (from PPA)
Android 4.2 (rooted) with git-annex version:
* 5.20140211-g556cfeb (from autobuilds)
### Please provide any additional information below.
