Android tablet problems importing psd file

So I tried importing a few files from another drawing app (artflow) but even though I saved them as a psd krita refuses to read them correctly, every layer with any color is just horizontal lines of color.

Android 13
Samsung tab A8
Krita last Play store update (5.1.5 I think)

I think this is a known bug in 5.1.5 on Android and will be dealt with in the next formal release:
Transforming all layers of any type of file into white screens - #2 by Sooz

Given that it’s marked as Fixed in the bug tracker, you should be able to download and sideload the nightly build .apk.
I don’t know how to do that but someone else could give advice.
An alternative would be the 5.1.4 .apk.

I saw a similar problem with a Win10 user, is it possible that the described “fix” affects not only android? I’ll try to convey your advice about using Nightly Build’s.

The bug was formally reported for Android 13 but trying the Nightly build to fix a bug is a good idea, but use the .zip package to prevent changes to the installed formal release.

The fix for bug 464015 affects devices using the ARM architecture, which usually means Android or macOS.
There was a related bug in 5.1.3 and earlier that affected other platforms as well.

I’m afraid I don’t have any detailed information on the previously described problem, except for this screenshot

That image resembles this bug report instead: 468197 – 16 bit psd files saved from photoshop show corrupted layers

Thank you, I will keep an eye on this bug on the tracker

Um if I were to use a new build to side load I’m not sure of 2 things 1 will I still be able to update the stable version from play store and B whom to ask how to do so?
@AhabGreybeard your advice is much appreciated as always.

@Volkhvy I have only guesses about the answers to your questions but I’ve never done that on Android.
I’d suggest that you create a new topic asking “How do I sideload the nightly Android build?”.
That would be an obvious and noticeable topic for those people who know.
