[Q] Encryption with CROMI v3.4.4 - Asus Transformer TF700

Hi all, I have the CROMI v3.4.4 running nicely on my Infinity.
I would like to add connection to our company groupware. Without going into too much detail, company policy requires the device to be encrypted. I have read older threads reporting encryption problems related to the early versions of stock JB ROM. Are these problems gone by now? And if so, is this true for CROMI as well? My questions:
- Is there trouble to be expected when using encryption on the CROMI?
- Is there a recommended pocedure to follow?
- In case encryption fails, is it safe to restore a recovery backup and the device is back to where it has been?
Any pointer is highly appreciated!

Wondering if no one ever tried to encrypt the device?

If I remembered correctly, the encryption is fixed since version .20.

Oh good, thanks! So it should be safe to do this on CROMI v3.4.4.
Guess I will give it a try and report back.

Hi,
What does the [OP] say?
If he says you are recommended to wipe before you update,then,that is the best thing to do.
If you do a "Dirty flash" (without wiping) then, you run the risk of running into errors.
You cannot report these because it is a dirty flash.
So,no one will be able to help you with them.
The choice is yours...

understood. thanks

Recovery buggy date/time

Had anybody seen a situation where the recovery won't keep the correct date and time? I've flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0, 2.8.0.1, and the latest Philz, and all of them kept changing the time, the timezone, and the date... and they were acting a little buggy in their responsiveness.
Thoughts?

I've experienced the same issue since I got my S5. KT TWRP 2.8.1.0 doesn't have that problem. It also fixes the backup to extSD problem, if you were experiencing that.

THANKS! I had KT's downloaded but didn't flash it yet... I certainly will now. And yes, the extSD issue bit me, too.
Nope... date is 1/1/2014 and the time is 3 hours lagging for the timezone.
Let's hope at the very least my nandroid backups won't disappear.

Try this: Using something like Root Explorer, look for the TWRP folder on your internal SD card. There's a file called ".twrps". It's the config file for TWRP. Delete it and then boot back into TWRP. You'll have to redo your setting (timezone, screen timeout etc.). See if that fixes it. If that doesn't do it, not sure what else will.

I had tried peeking into the file with Notepad++ but nothing jumped out at me. Now I feel silly for not trying what you suggested.
I deleted it and it had no effect. The one I deleted and the one it created had the wrong date/time stamps on them... as did the two backups I created (both in metadata and filename convention).
On the bright side... my two backups are as yet undeleted.

Very strange, I was sure that was it. My date/time have been correct since using it. The only other thing I may have done was using KT Kernel as well, but I don't think that was it. If you decide to try KT Kernel and want to go back to stock kernel, here's a link for stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54632862&postcount=1702
Another thought: What version is your firmware? Should be NE5. If not, here's that link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2798079

Thanks for the links.
I didn't flash the KT Kernel because the post said it needed to be flashed onto a TouchWiz based ROM... and right now I have PacMan (AOKP). I had MOAR (NE5) installed for a bit but I'm not used to stock. Truthfully, MOAR had everything I could want... I may just have to get over my snootiness.
Oh, it's coming back to me... with MOAR I was getting a lot of error popups of processes stopping running. i think "acore" was a common one. I could have troubleshot but didn't.

Make sure your backup works and come on over I'm a big supporter of MOAR! Do a clean install though and I bet 99.9% of your problems will be solved

There's the main install 2.1, and the new stuff 1.7, and of course Gapps. Do folks typically flash them all together... Or separately sequentially?
My clean install is usually wiping cache, dalvik, data, and system.

Does the Nvidia Shield Lollipop Update Force Encryption?

Tried searching but couldn't really find a definite answer. I'm coming from the world of nexus devices where the nexus 6 and 9 both force encryption. Since the shield tablet is fairly close to stock android I wanted to know if it forces encryption on lollipop or is it optional?
Also if encryption is optional does it provide an option to decrypt (like most samsung devices) if you do decide to encrypt it or do you just have factory reset it to get rid of encryption?
Thanks
Anyone? Just want to know if encryption is mandatory or optional on lollipop for the shield tablet. Any insight would be helpful.

[FIRMWARE-ONLY][MI MIX][LITHIUM] Developer ROM Firmware

News :
Starting today, i'll just upload the firmware if it has a change in it.
So you know there's no need to update the firmware if there's no change in it, save the hassle.
Tips :
* I've added checksum file for each firmware-only files in google drive, so you guys can see what's changed on every firmware-only release.
* If you experience sim card not detected after flashing firmware, don't worry, it's normal. do this, plug out and plug in your sim card tray, and restart your device.

[ROMS - CHINA]
http://www.miui.com/download-323.html
[ROMS - GLOBAL]
http://en.miui.com/download-317.html
yep i believe the Miui10 is in Alpha and currently being tested by a closed group of users. we should see public Beta releases towards the end of June.
Im just curious if there is any difference in battery consumption to previous version of MIUI.
I've tried it a couple of days ago. There are some visual changes like new notifications panel UI, recents UI, In-call UI etc. A bit more IOS-ish as some say.
First of all, if you consider flashing it;
- You need the Raupe/Blunden twrp to flash it, other recoveries end up with error 7.
- After flashing this build; twrp will ask for a decrypt password and no password will be correct. So your internal storage won't be mounted on twrp no way to fix it at the moment.
- Magisk 16.4 is able to root it, don't know about previous ones.
- If you consider flashing other roms, you have to do factory reset(format data) to get your internal be able to mount on twrp again.
- It doesn't have google apps as it's China specific, so you need to install google apps manually by Google installer apk or there are zip files for miui 10 ported gapps which give force closes randomly.
- Can be a daily driver since all is working.
- Xposed won't work.
Other than these hick ups, it's good initial build. Fast and smooth, can't tell about battery life since I haven't used it for a long time. There are secondary releases(8.6.5) for some devices so can be around for Mix too. Cheers.

I'm willing to give this a shot, thanks for the input ??
Ok trying it now and everything seems to be working good. A little laggy at the moment so I'm just letting it set in. I was hoping the camera would've gotten updated but same old crappy camera software from previous MIUI firmware. Hopefully when they do release the final version we'll get a updated camera but all in all this is a keeper till we get updated version on here, hopefully...

Haven't tried that but I'll look into it today and report back.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------
Ok going through settings and as far as I can tell I don't see face unlock feature. I highly doubt the mix will get seeing as how old it is now, I never use it anyway on other devices so it's not a big deal to me. Everything is running very smooth and fast, I'm liking the Android P style look a lot, more than how it looks on the pixel but that's just me.

You just cancel it and internal storage will be unable to use on twrp. If you flash other things, you need to do it by an OTG.

Oh yes yes, I always use OTG just in case. Thanks for the info.
I installed it, but I keep loosing the recovery, when I reboot it goes to the Miui recovery.
Is there a way to disable the factory recovery overwriting the twrp.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

i think you should flash this file in twrp :

after that the recovery shouldn't get replaced anymore.

Bluetooth Connection - Car Stereo

I am having an issue work my car stereo connecting to "media audio" on my phone. The phone always connects and media audio works fine with all other Bluetooth devices except my car. I can get it to work after the stereo says no connection I toggle media audio and then it connects. It used to auto connect no problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Stereo: Standard 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
ROM: OOS 10 Stable
Phone Mods: FDE.AI, rooted, bootloader unlock
Magisk modules: Oxytweaker, Google dialer framework, YouTube vanced
I had a similar issue suddenly appear. The first saved Bluetooth device auto connected. None of the others would. Couldn't figure out what to do. In the end I rebooted to TWRP and restored.

No sorry, I wish I could. But I am not clever with phones.
I restored system. That did not fix it.

I restored data. That fixed it.

TWRP > Restore > Data
Of course, if you have not previously backed up Data in TWRP, then it will not be possible.
With regards to all those other suggestions you mentioned, none of them worked for me. But if you have not yet tried them, I would still suggest you do.
Good luck!

There is no point in restoring Data unless your backup was done prior to the issue arising.
If you already have 9.5.11 System, Vendor and Data backed up, and you know at the time of back up there were no Bluetooth issues - then yes restore that. But I don't know the process to downgrade like that. If you are successful in that, then you should be able to upgrade from there afterward. Hopefully without further Bluetooth error.
But I need to remind you. I am not good with phones and can't be sure restoring Data is what actually worked. It doesn't make sense to me that it would.

No I understand I've already downgraded and upgraded and downgraded the software a few times so I think I got that under control but yeah I'll try restoring data after I update because Bluetooth works on the 9.5.11 update no problem
