I found following article: "android.stackexchange.com/questions/19286/will-a-custom-recovery-work-with-an-encrypted-device"

According to this description, it should be possible to use the ICS encryption after partitioning the SDcard. Has anyone already tried it?

Article:

"Mount one partition on /sdcard so that it could be used by system & leave other one (Clockwork Mod can do mounting too)."

How can I do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanderMan:
Bump

Nobody tried it yet???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
i think is better u dont use encryption at all...

if u need encryption for security reason, then u have to stay stock (botloader locked, no root, no cwm, otherwise the encryption has no sense to be done)..in case u want leave the encryption mode, u have to factory reset the phone

clockwork mod is not able to to backup, restore or flash a zip on an encrypted rom (easy to search around to discover this, as i just did now)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Why do you think there are no point with encryption with unlocked bootloader and root?

To me it seems thats when its most important, since its then very easy to get to your data and the only way to protect them?

I am using Titanium Backup and send the backups encrypted to Dropbox, not that much work to wipe and flash ROMS. Kernels you can still flash, at least With Francos app. The only downside is that need a PC to wipe since you have to do it through fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
yes, infact what i mean is that if u want protect more ur data, then stay also with the bootloader locked etc (even if the encryption should be enough)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Have thought about also locking the bootloader since you have to wipe anyways, and need a PC. Will not be much more work/time. But is it really any need?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanderMan:
From my point of view I also think that encryption is very important for rooted devices. If you loose your phone, it's very easy to get your privat data on the sdcard and app-data (acounts,...). With an encrypted device, the data are safe and that's all what I want.

Also if you create a seperate partition - see article in my first post ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberfreak95:
I would also be interested if this was possible.

Reason being - my employer requires that my phone be encrypted and unrooted. I have been investigating a dual boot setup where I could boot my unrooted, encrypted, stock android image so that I can use it for corporate email and when I need root for something like tethering I could boot off the rooted image.

This way my corporate data would be encrypted and I would be adhering to company policy but I can also enjoy the flexibility of a rooted phone when I need it without wiping my phone every time I want to switch back and fourth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chhall:
the /cache partition is the answer, i think

I found out that the stock recovery, as expected, also cannot access the /SDcard partition. However, it looks in the /cache partition for update.zip files when the phone is encrypted. I was able to copy the 4.0.4 update to the cache partition and load it from there. Seems like CWM just needs to be updated to have an option to look there for zip files and we should be able to load them up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost shell:
The problem is /cache is 100 MB, and some (most?) ROMs are way more than that.

So I don't think using /cache is a fix.

I'm not sure of how CWM mounts the external SD card, but if it uses /mnt/sdcard/external_sd then it's impossible to use the external SD card because it depends on the internal SD for the mount point.

If this isn't the case, then it should be possible to partition the external SD card... Is it?

That leaves us with the only possible solution the partitioning of the internal SD card as mentioned in the link provided by OP.

Has anyone done this?

EDIT:

According to CM9's nightlies "know issues" list, encryption has already been solved and is working. I'm wondering how did they fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost shell:

anybody knows the answer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanderMan:
Could you give me a link to this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
There is a work around for flashing in CWM recovery by using the system ram as a temp file system.

You can use the dd command in adb to backup the entire current firmware and restore it in fast boot.

You can also use the backup and restore feature in ics to backup your sdcard contents and some apks.

There is a dev who is working on a full nandroid equivalent on an encrypted system. He is half way there. It requires cm recovery which has dmcrypt support.

Encryption used to be on the know issues, but not anymore. I don't know the status for the Nexus.

Also: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25515675&postcount=53

@bunklung

Thanks.

I'm still digesting the information.

The sad part is that even a normal factory reset doesn't allow removing encryption. If at least that would be possible it wouldn't be that bad.

EDIT2:

I've been reading and not even the ram trick would work with me because I can't get adbd running in CWM.

adb doesn't detect any device when the phone is in CWM-recovery mode.

Hi,

I'd like to disable the Slide to unlock, BUT have the Pattern gesture still working.

Hi All,

I have a problem after installing a custom ROM.

I installed Resurrection Remix v9.6 on my SGS2 which is brilliant apart from my one issue. I can't find Kies Air on the Market place and I can't install it direct from my PC as it says it is not compatible with my device.

I use this quite a lot and think this ROM would tick all ot the boxes if I could get it working.

Does anyone have any advice?

[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
If you are upgrading from bada 1.2 to bada 2.0 via kies,

kies will automatically back up everything for you.

During the upgrade process, kies will install 2 firmwares; first a special bada 1.2 firmware through which your data will be backed up. For Europe this firmware is the XXKGG.

After kies installs the special bada 1.2 firmware, and you have backed up your data, the 2nd process of upgrading to bada 2.0 begins.

After the upgrade to bada 2.0 completes, you will be prompted by kies to restore your backed up data.

I would sure recommend .sense (see pat da punk's post) as soon as Beta 2.0.1 comes out. Beta 2.0 still needs lots of bugfixes, which Benjamin is busy on right now. He said it would be done either tonight or tomorrow.

CyanogenMod doesn't have Sense, in case you didn't yet know that. Both of the aforementioned ROMs come with their own kernels.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] alunral:
I've been rolling relatively happy with a rooted, CM9 Nook Color up until recently, and I decided to upgrade to a Transformer. Part of me is wondering, partly because of large size differences, partly because of price, if getting the TF101 was the better decision after having been using a NC for so long. I currently have a Transformer in my hands, rooted with an ICS ROM flashed, and I believe I can still get everything back to stock and return it for full money back(or at least, so I was told by Best Buy peeps). I mostly used the NC for most reading, maybe a bit of emulation, every so often portable music.

So, as I am an incredibly indecisive person, which choice is better for my uses, or atm, how can I get better use out of a TF101 after having a very good computer, and the NC already.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_malik:
Well, as I have not enough posts, I am not allowed to state this in the proper Kernel Thread. :mad:

However, I will do it here.

I am running AOKP milestone 4 ROM on my Nexus S i9023 with the lates SG-NS-ICS Kernel since which I flashed yesterday night.

To be precise, this one: SG-NS-ICS_27022012.zip /* damn restrictions for "new-users" */

I installed it without any kind of wipe.

Additionally I am using NStools to control it. Everything works fine with the Kernel default settings. The device is using deep sleep, and using the cpu with 1100MHz. No reboots, no strange behaviour at all.

Then, it is said, that the charging limit is set to 96%.

When I woke up today, the device charged up to 100%. At least the battery bar told me so.

May that be a result of not wiping the dalvik cache before flashing?

Or what reasons could be there?

I posted this in the general Android Q&A Thread as well becaus I forgot that there is a NS subforum as well. Sorry for that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oogway13:
As for what I know, this is only a cosmetic fix. Since our batteries can only charge until 96%, most of ROMs/Kernels have the cosmetic fix to actually show 100% instead of 96%.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_malik:
Yeah, it's a cosmetic fix. It only charges up to the predefined amount.

But it seemed strange to me, because I did not expect a custom ROM/kernel to have such a fix.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
The phone can charge to 100% if something is keeping it awake I believe. That's probably what you saw.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charchuck:
Like everyone else has said, the 100% thing is a cosmetic tweak, but I think the thing you're noticing about SG's kernel in NSTools is a "problem" (though I don't know what it is) with NSTools. I've been running his kernels (both the normal and slim) for months now and they always charge to 99%/100% even though NSTools reports the limit as 96%. What you're seeing isn't a problem with the kernel due to not wiping.

On a related note, I got rid of NSTools and have been running SG's slim kernel for about 2 weeks, and it's really nice - as long as you don't care about BLN and all those crazy governors.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_malik:
Well, I got used to the fact that this cosmetic thing is there. Although it confused me I first place, I can adopt to the fact that things change. The 4.0.3. stock ROM did not do that. It stopped leading at 98%. So, I prefer the transparent and non-cosmetic way.

Nevertheless, one charge cycle lasts for about 12 hours. That's quite bad.,I think I have to test different ROM and kernel variations.

[Android Themes] vsxed:
Hello XDA!

Since i'm reading several instructions to create MIUI-Themes and tested everything to create own app packages inside a theme, just as a mtz-file, i just created some apps for Mac OS X (simple Applescript-Apps, but very useful!!!).

Introducing two Apps for now:

MTZ Creator

App Packager

App Packager

What does it do?

App Packager creates an app package for themeing apps inside a MIUI theme.

As far as we know, those app packages are just simple zip-archives without compression (just "stored") and without any extension.

This AppleScript does this Job immediately!

How to use?

Here is a short Video which shows how to use this script:

[YOUTUBE]pYqvlmaccy4[/YOUTUBE]

Just create your app package-folder with the apps package-name.

Then drag and drop this folder (coloured in red) into my script.

It immediately creates the app package with your changes - ready to use in you MIUI theme!

MTZ Creator

What does it do?

MTZ Creator creates an mtz-file (MIUI theme).

A MTZ-File is also just a non-compressed zip-archive with an ".mtz"-extension.

MTZ Creator saves your project folder as an mtz-file with the following filename:

120322 stands for the date (22.03.2012)

1237 is the time the script created this file (12:37, 24h only!)

If there's no export-folder it will create it ;)

How to use?

Here is a short Video which shows how to use this script:

[YOUTUBE]anT3jjgxOJg[/YOUTUBE]

Just drag and drop you theme folder into the script and it creates your ready-to-use Theme file!

Have fun, hope it can save some time for you ;)

DOWNLOAD for MAC OS X only!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] kistigun:
I'm running this script for a while now on my xperia arc(while running on CM7.2 and GM9) and it works great. Also had this on HC on the tf101 so i tried it yesterday and on ICS and it works great! I made a guide for you all to try it:

First of all: I'm not responsible if you break your tf101!

What do you need:

- A rooted tf101

- Script manager

- The V6 Supercharger U9RC7 script

What to do:

- Place the script somewhere on you tf101 where you can find it

- Start the script manager app, in options celect 'browse as root'

- Browse with script manager to the script and select it, press the SU button and run the script

- Follow the instructions given by the script, after it is finished you can configure the script any way you'll like(i've chosen option 8)

- When finnished do a clean reboot like the script suggest

- If you'll run the script again it will whine about your weak ass launcher because of some problems with ICS

- So go to this website on you device: http://android.mimic.ca

- Upload the services.jar (found in /system/framework)

- Click the CWM option and click on next

- Download the zip file to your device

- Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file

- Restart your device, run the script again and: tada the script works as it should!

I'tested it on revolver 4.0.0 Beta 1.3.1 and it works! Revolver is based on stock so i think this also should work on stock ICS

All credits go out to zeppelinrox for making this awesome script and making it run on ICS! More info about the script is found here

For people running the stock OTA ICS update, in the Transformer theme and app area I've put an updated services.odex which is necessary for full supercharging under ICS. If you're still on Honeycomb you can do it all with the script but ICS changed the way process priorities work and require modifying the services.odex file.

The update is also on the main V6 Supercharger thread along with full instructions on how to update services manually if you so desire.
