Description

### Steps to reproduce

Element 21.06.4 is the last version that works on my old Samsung SM-G900F with Android 11 (LineageOS without Google Play Services). Installing or upgrading to a later version returns only a black screen.
I tried both 26.07.0 and 26.07.1 both with the same results.

Smartphone:

Device: Samsung SM-G900F
OS: Android 11 (LineageOS without Google Play Services)

### Outcome

Expected results: I can start the app on my Samsung SM-G900F with Android 11 (LineageOS without Google Play Services)
Current results: black screen

Research direction

Start by reproducing the black screen on a Samsung SM-G900F running Android 11 with LineageOS without Google Play Services, using F-Droid versions 26.07.0 and 26.07.1. Compare behavior with version 21.06.4 and collect startup logs; done means the affected versions launch normally on the reported device and the regression is covered by a verified test or reproduction record.
