Encryption is it worth doing

All of my study is in the city so my tab could get stolen one day and at home i have a younger brother who loves to play with settings etc
Is the encyption worth the hassle?
Does it break anything?
Do i have to decrypt re-encrypt every boot is it slow?
I have never had this option before but it seems like a good idea i just want to know how it plays in real world use before i do it.

The problem with having an encrypted partition is that CWM at moment can't really do anything useful to those partitions. You cannot flash, backup, or restore via CWM. This means your ability to work with custom ROMs is effectively crippled. In fact, to undo the encryption (or if you forget your password), I had to nvflash back to stock. Factory reset via CWM cannot be done since, again, the partitions are still encrypted.
If in the future, CWM is able to access the partitions like the stock recovery can, then you'd be fine.

I wouldn't touch it for now. If/When CWM allows for it (possibly ICS, as I might guess that the closed nature of HC is limiting development around encryption support?) then maybe..

Thats a good point ae hopefully with icys than can also make abit more headway with the more advanced recoverys to
Never thought about that before thanks

Mine did as well and after I had permission problems and a notification of an outdated binary. I ran the superuser update fixer which said I was fine but I did a force fix anyways. Now it seems to be working ok.

WOW, i dont have that superuser.

ChainsDD released a new version 3.0 for Superuser a few weeks ago (now 3.0.2) after releasing a few betas. Being a system app for most ROMs, Superuser was probably set for Automatic Updating, that's why it updated itself on your phones. Besides a new GUI, it mainly added new features with the Superuser Elite app. Here is the changelog at the Superuser website http://androidsu.com/superuser/changelog/

Most of my system apps show up in red in titanium backup. This allows you to attach and detach them from the market, and do other titanium functions on them. Unfortunately superuser doesn't show up at all in titanium. Is there anyway to make it show up?

I've never seen a way, try and email the devs at [email protected], they will know a way, if it's not blacklisted...

Thanks. If you dont mind me asking, what is your current phone setup? Because there are literally like 100 reviews describing force closes and people having to restore to an older version.

Chainfire 3D not compatible?

I'm trying to instal Chainfire as potter the instructions in the games thread, soI can play X-plane, but the market on both my device and in my PC browser says that it's not compatible? Am I missing something?

for me I had no issues and I installed it from the Market including the pro version and tegra plugins working perfect.

did you root your device first?

chainfire 3d requires root

There are some weird issues with CF3D and certain permutations of SU and it's binaries. The CFRoot kernel has been perfect with CF3D and both my Notes. I'd try that and see how it goes first.

Guys it's not a matter of rooting.
What he is saying is the Market says the device (aka Galaxy Note) is not compatible and therefore there's no 'INSTALL' button!
And I have the same problem.

Did you install all the plugins AND choose the option to fix the market after installing them?

It's rooted, and i've done the procedure to install the CFRoot kernel, but still I get this -

Nope, because I can't install Chainfire 3D itself. I have the plugins sitting there waiting to be installed, though.

Are you on the sheep rom? I had some apps work on the stock rom but then wouldnt show/install in the market when on the sheep rom

Think Chainfire needs to add the note to the support list. hardware wise it should be compatible as the note has the same SoC as the sgs2. in fact the note is just a bigger and overclocked sgs2.

If your using a non standard screen density market will do this.

Setting the density all the way back to 320 fixed it, thanks.

Some antivirus shows rooting apps as threat.For me even SRS root was shown by avast as infected. As far as I know vroot is pretty safe.But still take a caution.If you feel that you downloaded the app from a reliable source then go ahead with it.

Vroot is completely safe.

Ive read on threads that it contains malware such as spyware.
Can someone from XDA post a clean version of Vroot? Thank you

Yup, its safe for Windows running on a x86-64 processor.
But how about when it is running on a linux variant known as Android and running on a ARM processor? Is it safe then?

Most rooting apps will flag any antivirus. That is why you are advised to shut them off. It is a false positive. Just make sure to do your research on it.

System update?

Good morning. I just woke up and saw that there is a system update. Does anyone know what it is?

Mmmmh htc did not plan to update the A9 now so maybe it's an update late of MM. But still sense 7.0

The only thing I've noticed is that that amoled saturation controls have been brought back

same here, i'm on sprint. is it ok to flash being deodex?

Not sure. I haven't got too deep into flashing on this phone, as there's not a heck of a lot to flash. Typically no, you would need to be stock odex and stock recovery to take an ota

me too , i have this update 2 days ago , only changes i noticed :
* my hand free stopped working with my htc a9 and now its back again
*have new app called ""HTC VIP" , but its not working in my country

@k2buckley yeah, what a shame :/ i guess i'll have to wait and see what's new with this ota. it was a pain in the arse to get all things done yet i have some issues.

I'm getting that annoying notification about the system update. I'm just rooted with twrp. What would be the best way to update?

Have a look in Post TWRP Recovery #2
chapter 8,9 and 10.
NB: Download and save the ota in your sd card (you'll find it in /data/data/com.htc.updater). You could share it for XDA members...
Cheers

was about to ask the question where i could find it, thanks kho

any feedback abt this ota?

Only thing I've noticed is we have an option for the fingerprint scanner to wake the screen and use it as a home button.

it was already there. i think it's just some improvements and bug fixes.
