luks manager finally gave out on me with a new update

found it might be an issue of

Super SU and multi user environment of android

how about someone update the app??

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] pietsukkel:
Managed to make LUKS Manager work in 4.4.4!!!

After trying to find out why LUKS Manager wasn't working in the latest Android releases I finally managed to make it work!

The problem seemed to be related that LUKS Manager was working fine, but mountpoints created by it were not accessable by other applications. So when you created a volume named Secure in /sdcard it was propperly mounted like /sdcard/Secure but only LUKS Manager itself could access it. Any other application was writing to the directory /sdcard/Secure instead of the mountpoint. That is why the files were still there after unmounting. This caused an error too in LUKS Manager which tries to remove the directory after the unmount, but fails because it's not empty.

I'm using CM11 Milestone 12 on a Galaxy S2. To make LUKS Manager work you have to install Superuser from ClockworkMod. Afterwards you can successfully create a volume in LUKS Manager which is accessible in other apps. I could create a FAT volume, but for some reason permissions are set incorrectly on the mountpoint afterwards (owner is root only) so you can't access it. If you format it EXT2 instead it works fine .

I hope this solves it for everybody else too, because there is no other app like LUKS Manager.

I know it's been a long time since I last posted anything, but I finally upgraded to a tablet running KitKat.

That means I've restarted development of my Luks Manager app. I've migrated the project from Eclipse to Android Studio, and have it working on my Samsung Tab S running stock 4.4.2. I've modified the luks shell script to include new mounting options and all the su calls now pass -mm option to modify the mount master namespace while using Chainfires version of SU. Currently only fat volumes work. Editing volumes, ext2 volumes and the internal text editor are broken. In the next few days I'll try to release a testing/beta version on my website if there's any interest. Again, this may not solve the mounting issues for everyone; I'm only testing and developing on one device. As long as the volumes are mounted in a non-emulated location (like /mnt/extSdCard) they are visible to all applications. Please bear in mind that I'm using the SD card fix that modifies platform.xml and alters the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] owilsky:
Definitely! :D
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Nemesis][:
Okay, I've got an alpha build of 2.5 on my website:

http://nemesis2.qx.net/pages/LUKSManager

Please note this is a very alpha build so if it breaks you get to keep the pieces!

Please let me know how things go if you test.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] nutpants:
My Test was will be

Create container file

Mount container

Copy files into container

Un mount container

Verify directory and files gone from directory

Mount container

Check if files are there and if the can be opened by most apps (music player, picture viewer, document reader, book reader)

UN mount container.

Reboot, verify directory and files gone.

Check if container can be mounted in windows, Linux etc.

Mount container.

End test

A quick test today (not the full test above)with my nexus 2013 running 4.4.4 clean ROM( which is a factory ROM with a lot of junk removed)

I created and mounted a container, copied files over to it.

Everything seemed to work ok at that point.(300mb file called testtest)

Un mounting the container was fine

But

Trying to mount in again gives the error

Device testtest already exists

Losetup: dev/loop302/ device or resource busy

Rebooting the tablet and trying to mount works but shows an empty directory.

Copying a file into the container with a root explorer leaves the directory and files inside after trying to un mount.

Trying the same quick tests on my galaxy s4 running a waman rom 4.4.2 (factory touch wiz with just about all unrequired apps removed)all seem to work.

Trying to open any of the files in the container failed.

(1 text file and 3apks would not open)

I did notice the loop appears to be on the emulated path for the nexus

Ill report back on other devices with a more complete test tomorrow
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] owilsky:
Does not work for me, but I use the build in su of CM11. I always get "sh: <stdin>[1]: luks: not found" as I also got with 2.4
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] nutpants:
Updated test results

For galaxy s4 and s5

***I get an error when mounting ext partition

" mount: mounting /dev/mapper/private on /mnt/extSdCard/private failed: invalid augment " but it still works fine

Only works for me with the mount path to "mnt/extSdCard"

Only creates container with fat formatting.

Liquid smooth rom on s4 Only works with extsdcard permissions changed with the xposed module allowing read and write to extsdcard.

Works on s4 wamanlite oem tw 4.4.2 rom

Works on s4 liquidsmooth 4.4.4

Works on s5 XtreStoLite OEM two 4.4.2

Everything seems to work fine with the above requirements met with any app I tried.

** works with both fat32 and ext partitions

With root permission app (I used total Commander)

I had everything working on the "mnt/sdcard" mount path ONLY with root apps like 920 text editor, root Commander, total Commander but if the app did not have root permissions then they only saw an empty directory.

Nexus 2013. 4.4.4 lightOEM ROM only works with apps with root permissions

Samsung Mega OEM light 4.4.2 ROM works

***Ext partition only works with apps with root permissions

On mega I also get an error when mounting

***" mount: mounting /dev/mapper/private on /mnt/extSdCard/private failed: invalid augment " with ext partition but it still is readable with root apps

I'll report back with tests on other devices soon.

Thank you for all your hard work on this app.

I can't expresses how important encryption like this is important to the community and to myself.

(P.s. you might want to start a thread in a security section you will get more notice and maybe more support)

*** ext partition was created on a 4.1.2 device with like manager

Hi, lm.cryptsetup creat conteiners the same as truecript? can I creat conteiner, and then mount it by truecript on windows?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] nutpants:
No luks is not the same as truecrypt.

(And you should really update to veracrypt or the others btw)

Freeotfe will mount luks containers in Windows.

Luks mount easy in Linux.

I have not found a guaranteed way to mount truecrypt containers in android yet

But I have heard of some apps that claim they can.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] voshchronos:
When I open the app, it says "Failed to extract from apk" or something like that and it instantly closes.

EDS is able to do it, it's paid.

Edit: Just realised this is apparently dead, which is sad.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] buengeut:
Sometimes unmounting fails because there is a file opened by another application (Device or resource is busy). Add 'umount -l "${mount_path}"' to handle it.

Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] ntstatic:

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] p107r0:
Try EDS (paid or free lite version), works ok on my devices (Samsung stock Android 6.x and Lineage 14)

You could try free Cryptonite (beta, last update in 2015)
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] DualJoe:
You can extract the binary manually (from the apk) and use it directly in the shell.

I'm wondering how they do it. There is no obvious (cryptsetup) binary in the apk and (correct me if i'm wrong) the app is not using root.

Horribly buggy and slow (fuse based). He tried to fix it in the latest releases but its not even clear if its not upstream related (where it is dead as well).
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] DualJoe:
Here is a native cryptsetup binary for those who can handle it.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] mathey:
With extracted binaries it's possible to successfully create and mount LUKS volumes from the terminal. However with SuperSu it's needed to disable the "mount namespace separation" (or modify script to use "su --mount-master -c <mount command>" while mounting or unmounting) for the volume to be seen by ES file explorer. It's possible to view the files with ES built-in utilities, such like the text editor, image viewer, video player etc. BUT to make the file visible by any external application it's needed to mount volume not under sdcard, but under in. ex obb/<sth>. Could there be any other possible workarounds?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] scandiun:
The app has been removed from the Play Store. Any ideas about what happened?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
I setup a self-powered USB2.0 hub which has a 2.5AMP power adapter. I used a dual male (split) to single female USB cable and plugged the TAB USB cable into that.

This same dual cable & hub works fine to power an external USB hard-drive which won't work with just a single cable for power. I would think with 2+ AMPS it should charge the TAB "normally" (with no "x" on the battery indicator) but it does not, the "x" remains. All other devices have been removed from the hub.

Anyone else been able to get a normal charge off a PC or USB hub with a split cable? It's such a pain to have to put the TAB on the wall charger then switch it back to the PC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tca120:
when the screen is off the device charges, despite what the battery display says.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LordLugard:
Correction, it trickle charges. Very slowly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MisterEdF:
I understand that but I was under the obviously incorrect impression that if you used a double male USB to single female USB cable you would get a normal charge since there is more power available. Is the charge rate dependent on the TAB seeing power on a specific pin of the cable telling it that a charger is connected and not a cable to the PC? I'm connected to a self-powered hub with a big 2.5amp power supply and nothing else connected to it.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] marquimsp:
I downloaded superoneclick and unzipped the contents to my PC's desktop. You have to have the drivers installed (you can find them on the htc site, I can't post outside links yet but google it and you'll find htc sync and drivers) and these steps:

You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode

You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed

Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.

If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.

You don't install it to your phone, you run it from the desktop. Just connect the phone in usb debugging mode, unmount the sd card and run the program, if the drivers are installed the program will find it and root it.

It's really easy, you'll see!

[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
I only partially agree with the article. When i convert the files i keep the source resolution. Even my Evo 4G could playback .mp4's that where natively 1080p. And before you start the "its screen cant playback above a x b resolution...", think about this...u can output upto 1080p via MHL/HDMI or DLNA. Additionally if you convert them to the maximum of the Evo 3D screen, what are you gonna do next year when your next phones resolution is higher?

Second, while its true it will playback .mp4 or .m4v...use .mp4, as DLNA streaming wont see .m4v files (old ones can just be renamed to .mp4),

Also, avg bitrate can be fine for some movies, but especially in action movies, it tends to leave slower parts of the movie in poor quality imo. I usually use constant quality and play with the setting til i get about 1.5GB or lower files from 1080p Blu Ray.

The above has worked out well for both my Evo 4G and Evo 3D

Anyone having trouble with battery charging?

I will charge over night and battery will be around 97-99% but won't make it to 100%.

While using my car charger, it won't stay at 100%, will drain while just texting/internet. It only drains down to 97% or so but It's annoying because my EVO 4G would stay at 100% while on car charger.

Should I try to get another battery or is it supposed do to that with trickle charge/discharge?

I'm going to Sprint and trying one of the official car chargers.

motorola car chargers are a bit iffy. personally, i wouldnt use them because ive seen them ruin other manufactures phones. its not an immediate thing, but after prolonged use charging ports go bad. theyve even had to put out special chargers because their normal ones werent compatible with their own devices (the i576 comes to mind)

I bought this one. http://www.amazon.com/MicroUSB-Char...UJRQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1309792315&sr=8-4

Its the OEM HTC one for the thunderbolt. It has two USB ports and both charge at 1000ma, so you could charge two evos at once plus it works with the iGrip car mount. Oh yeah and you can plug in any USB cable you want to charge any phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] NCHornet:
Who cares if says 98%, 99% or even 100% it's not that big of a deal. at least to most.

As for the chargers, I will not use any of these cheap crappy units being sold on Ebay and other sites. My son bought the 4G when it was first released and couldn't be found any where. He ordered the extra batteries, 110 charger, 12 volt charger, screen protector for something like $2.99 including shipping ( yes, I am joking on the price, no need to correct me, just get the idea we are talking cheap crap here ) I told him that I wouldn't trust the chargers. I didn't know but he left the phone on the 12volt charger in my F350 dually while we did the grocery shopping at WalMart. Probably gone 30-45 min at the most. Came out to the truck and the cab was filled with smoke and the charger was so hot you couldn't hold it. Took my shirt off and ripped the charger out of the socket. It had started to melt. Scares me to think what would have happened if we were at the movies instead of WalMart. He contacted the seller about the problem and they sent him another crappy 12 volt charger, Yeah right!!!!! The cheap batteries lasted ok, but I sure wouldn't use the cheap chargers. I have the one at Sprint that also has a USB socket on it so I can charge 2 phones at the same time. Radio Shack also sells some decent 12 volt chargers, but be real careful with the Ebay crap. If you do risk it you better make sure you got your insurance premiums paid up to date.
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
That's how it works. If you watched your phone all night long, you'd notice it get to 100%, and then drop down to 99 a few minutes later. One day, if you're lucky, it'll be at 100%. Mine was this morning. It charges to 100, then lets itself discharge to 95% or so, then back up to 100, over and over. It also charges super slowly above 90%, not sure why, but I assume it's to "Fill" the battery up as much as possible. Also, if you do some research on battery charging, you'll find out that the closer a battery is to full, the slower it charges. (IIRC 66% of the remaining battery life per charge period. So 0-66% in the same time it takes to go from 66-88.4, 88.4 to 96, 96-98.6, 98.6-99.5, etc.. But I learned this back in High School, and can't find any thing on the internet to support it in my quick 10 min fact search... Lol)

The OG Evo did the same thing kinda, but didn't display it correctly, and it was the cause of the "Dropping 5% in the first minute of use" problem. The phone would charge to 100%, and then discharge to 95%, and stay there, but the battery icon would say 100% until you unplugged it. Then the system would check the battery, realize it was really at 95%, and change the display number.

The Evo 3D just tells it how it is, in real time. :p

[HTC EVO 3D] sheep_duck:
i don't think you guys are understanding the concept of the 3d not working in portrait. it's mostly referring to TAKING the pictures, being that the two cameras are side by side. taking 3d pictures in portrait would in essence make any 3d effects via the top and bottom camera, not side by side, drastically reducing the visibility of 3d effects.

the screen is fully capable of displaying properly taken 3d pictures in portrait mode.
