Hmm... looking at the issue it seems to me that it is not going to be
fixed, it is an intentional change. They are tightening the platform
from security point of view, and this change is similar to change that
made removable SD cards much less useful in KitKat:

says it has been deprecated since API level 17, so I doubt they'll bring
it back.
Ministro has had a good run, but unless I'm mistaken this basically
kills it?

It's not like only six people are affected by this.

Hello folks,
I have some bad news about Ministro on Android 5.0. Due to a bug
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79478 introduced by
Google in Android 5.0 final release apps that are using Ministro
are not working anymore, on Android L preview it worked just fine.
I hope in the next Android version Google will fix this problem.
New stuff added to Ministro 10.
- application startup up speed improvement, I've cuted +150ms from the
time that your application needs to wait for Ministro's response, now
your application waits 2-4ms (of course if Ministro doesn't need to
download/extract anything).
- extract Qt 5.4 QuickControls style info
- speed up the theme extraction (now it needs 2/3 of the previous
time).
- extract InsetDrawable. On Android 4.4.4 it seems this Drawable is
used and will crash QWidget based apps if is not extracted.
New stuff added to 10.1
- bumped MINISTRO_MAX_API_LEVEL
New stuff added to 10.3
- for more exceptions on Android 5.0
- extract default palette & fonts, needed by Qt 5.4
- extract some Android 5.0 specific look and style info.
What happen with 10.2?
- I bumped the version to 10.3 by mistake and I pushed it, so
there was no 10.2 :).
How to test it:
- make sure the previous version is installed and your apps are
using it.
- install over the previous version ($ adb install -r Ministro\
II\ v10.3.apk).
* Ministro will extract again *ONCE* the style.
* Trying your existing apps should *NOT* trigger any new downloads.
- after you test your applications with Ministro installed on top of
previous Ministro version, please test in on a clean installation. So,
go to settings -> apps and remove Ministro, then install it again ($
adb install Ministro\ II\ v10.3.apk).
* Ministro should extract style info and certificates and it should
download again all needed libs.
* Your application should work without any recompilation.
Please download and test Ministro from here:

Thank you!
Cheers,
BogDan.
