I installed Ava 0.5.0 on a Facebook Portal (gen 2), and ran into a roadblock when the app tried to request device admin permissions:

I was able to work around this by running this ADB command:
adb shell dpm set-active-admin --user current com.example.ava/.receiver.DeviceAdminReceiver

Since the popup was already up, I also had to force close the com.android.settings app, but I'm sure a reboot would have done the trick too. I'm not sure if this is something you can work around, but at the very least I wanted to document the solution here for other users installing this on Portal devices.
