When I try this it will not charge my phone. I tried on several computers at home and work Pc's. It actually drains it.

I wonder why that happens???

Not a big deal.

No problem, I always have to take my charger everywhere I Goto be safe.

All computers using USB 2.0 or USB 2.0 add-on cards.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Yes, a fraction of 0.5. USB ports can provide up to 500mA.

I just charged mine at work using a USB cable plugged into my monitor. I noticed that trying to charge it off my laptop doesn't seem to get me anywhere. It might require using a powered hub or something similar to get enough juice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
I usually slowly lose charge when plugged into the usb at work. Granted the screen is almost always on and the phone being used.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cy888:
I've noticed the charge rate for differs depending on the usb charger rating.

For example, on my laptop usb, it charges very very slowly. but when plugged into my desktop, it charges just very slowly. So they must have different current ratings.

When using my eee transformer usb plug (5.15v@2-1.2a), it charges the phone very fast, like under 2hrs. When using a usb charger meant for a blueant headset (5v@550ma), it takes like 4hrs to charge. Think the stock charger is at 4.8v@1.0a

I use Battery monitor app to monitor my batt usage/drain. Haven't really paid attention to the battery gain, but from looking at past history graph, think when plugged into the laptop, it supplied like 5-15ma of juice. When plugged into destop it looks like at 55-400ma. The transformer usb provides up to 1200ish ma, and the stock gives 800ish ma.

Now does using different rating chargers affect the battery discharge rate and health of the battery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
Just because a USB port on a PC says it'll output 500ma doesn't mean it will, it's all up to the software. If your PC or phone is cranky and doesn't communicate properly, your computer's USB port will default to 100ma, and you can't charge off that ;)

Mine charges fine on USB unless I'm trying to use it, then it is pretty much break even.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkxk9:
So i updated my vibrant last night from 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo through smasung kies mini.

Aftere it was done downloading and installing it says update finished and wait for phone to reboot. it hasnt rebooted ever since. i searched on all sorts of fourms this morning trying anything to get it to work. iv tried multiple download mode techniques but none of them work.

So my situation before this happen was i kinda missed the stock rom so i flash from bionix 1.3.1 to the true samsung vibrant stock rom 2.1 unrooted . and it worked everything was going great (I made sure i got all files of rooting,roms, kernlals,etc after) . i decided to put some music, videos ,etc and i decide to install the kies mini to get the update and as i said in the end it said done and wait till reboot and it never did.

It doesnt boot up , show logos, turn on, show charging icon when off and pluged in, it wont turn on!

So does anybody have any ideads or solutions?

OK. I believe I've fixed mobile downloads on the server so please try again.

And I've also updated LUKS Manager to v1.4. (lots of little fixes, tweaks)

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Nemesis][:
Thanks for catching that. Version 1.5 should now quote passwords properly.

Any other issues? (I know I should validate user input more on volume creation; but the luks script should handle failures gracefully.)

Thanks looks great now on the screen, still have a problem mounting though, could it auto-detect the location of busybox or have a changeable option?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Ron Overdrive:
Some feature recomendations to consider:

* auto-mount select volumes on startup

* auto-dismount all volumes on shutdown

* auto-dismount all volumes on X number of failed lockscreen attempts

* graphical support for moving/linking directories/files into encrypted volumes (so we can link our folders for downloads, camera, dropbox, etc. to the volumes directly)

Ron,

I'll look into/consider adding some of those. I've add some code to unmount the volumes on shutdown but I'm not 100% sure it's working properly.

I like the idea of unmounting them all on after X number of failed lock screen attempts. Not quite sure how I can hook into that however.

In version 2.1 you can set the mount point; not sure if I'll write a GUI interface for symlinking however.

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Ron Overdrive:

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] mircury:
I have a Samsung Infuse which is basically an i9000 galaxy S with a bigger screen and like most galaxy S devices I know of, it has internal storage which is mounted to /mnt/sdcard and an external sd card which is mounted to /mnt/sdcard/exteral_sd. I really like the app and it works perfectly, however I have a problem. It wants to create the volume on the internal sdcard instead of the external one. I edited the lukspath in the luks script but it keeps overwriting it when I start up the gui and go to create a volume. Is there a way to make this setting stick in the luks script without recompiling? Or could you update the app to allow people to change where it creates the volume? I just need to be able to create a volume in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/. Thanks!

Released 2.3

This is a semi-major rewrite. (Hopefully nothing is broken)

Version 2.3 notes:

Major rewrite to the luks shell script and GUI app to support user defined volume locations.

Encryption cipher and keysize are now user definable. (kernel support required)

Moved storage of volume information from /mnt/sdcard/luks/.data to /data/data/com.nemesis2.luksmanager/.data

Prompts to upgrade if loop device files are found in SDCard .data directory.

Removed top level restriction on file explorer activity.

Default file system changed from EXT4 to EXT2.

FAT file system support now enabled by default.

Added volume mount and unmount desktop shortcuts.

Added notification when volumes are mounted. (Can be toggled off in preferences)

Added landscape support to the main and volume edit activities.

Added basic SDcard support to install binaries routine.

(Fixes java.lang.NullPointerException on binary install.)

Added toggle to disable binary hash checks on startup. This enables

customized luks scripts and/or binaries.

Small fix to application initialization. (hopefully fixes odd reboot

issue on some devices)

Attempts to unmount volumes on ACTION_SHUTDOWN and MEDIA_EJECT broadcasts.

Additional checks and error handling if no volumes exist.

Additional error handling in luks script during volume mounting and creation.

Added required BusyBox applet checks on startup.

About Dialog additions / changes.

Small text changes (formatting and typo fixes).
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Ron Overdrive:
Cool I can finally choose to use TwoFish instead of AES. Also I noticed that you're using Fat16 for volumes. Is there any reason for using that over Fat32? I can understand using Ext2 over Ext4 since not all ROMs support Ext4, but Fat32 is supported on all ROMs.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Nemesis][:
Fat file system type

FAT (12, 16 or 32) type is determined by the size of the volume.

Less than 11MB it uses FAT12, less than 35MB is FAT16 otherwise it uses FAT32.

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Nylo:
I found it to be a bit buggy, though it could have been me. I noticed when I unmounted my volume that in my upper left notification (padlock icon) it said my volume was mounted, but when I opened the program it said all was unmounted. I could not get the icon to stop. Also, I had an issue with the vol name. It did not like one name, but did like another. Strange thing is it soon liked both. Both file names and passwords were very simple for testing so I doubt I messed up

Also, will this work with previously FreeOTFE created .vol files? Luks did ask if I want FAT for FreeOTFE. Anyway I could not make it work, or recognize my FreeOTFE .vol.

Because of the false notification I uninstalled it, but will be re-installing. I really want this to work. I think you have a great app I do appreciate your time and efforts.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Nylo:
If you ever get an answer to the FreeOTFE question please let me know.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Nemesis][:
No. You can not create volumes with FreeOTFE and move them to the phone. The volume must be created on the phone itself. However, FreeOTFE can mount the volumes over USB (provided you formatted it as FAT). You must launch the FreeOTFE GUI then click on the "Mount File" icon in the toolbar. Simply double clicking on the volume file will not work.

using it to create encrypted app

Hi, am trying to use your app to install an app to an encrypted location (do not want to encrypt the whole device, and need to use my device in a corporal setting, hence the need for eg an encrypted cache etc etc).I was able to create a volume (chose ext2), and moved the data/data/<apkfoldername> to the encrypted folder (using cp -pR to preserve properties), and made a symbolic link using ln -s.

Was now hoping that I could run the app if volume was mounted, but no: ' application not installed' is the message.

Is there something I can do (preferably in the 'postmount' scripts) so that it will work? Looks as if the OS decides that the app is not completely 'there' upon booting, and hence the message when trying to start it (the logcat message is something like '.... not ... as an activity in the manifest file', so I think it is a 'build dalvik cache' problem).

(the app I am trying this with is k9, on a rooted Nexus 7, the app runs beautiful if the link is to a 'non-encrypted folder')

kind regards, Roel
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] My 1st Android:
got it

Finally made it work: linked every folder inside the data/data folder, with exception of library folder; also did not link app itself; the app now works. (And any interesting information like accountinformation or cached emails are in the encrypted folder!

Thanks for your nice app which allows me to use corporal email without encrypting the complete tablet (which would have negative consequences for eg battery life).

Worked under 2.3.6, not working anymore under 4.2.2. Instead of mounting the volume, a folder is created under /storage/emulated/0/ with the name of the volume, empty, not deleted after unmount. At the next mounting it gives the error "Permission denied" because there is already a folder with that name on the card.

Any alternatives working with FreeOTFE/TrueCrypt?

PS: EDS Lite + File Shortcut seems to be an alternative. Works with TrueCrypt volumes. It doesn't decrypt "on-the-fly" like LUKS Manager, it creates temporary files, slower with large files but... at least it works for sensitive documents.
