Crashlytics is owned by Twitter. I'm not getting a warm-and-fuzzy feeling about having this inside of this type of application... :(
[Android Apps and Games] stokholm:
I'm not having very good luck with Secrecy on my Nexus 5: http://youtu.be/xfdpf0jW9BA

As you can see:

1) Opening a photo from file view, crashes Google Photos.

2) Opening a photo from gallery view, results in a black screen with no photo appearing. Sometimes the photo appears when swiping to the side, as you can see. But often it will not work. Sometimes it even crashes while trying.

3) I'm spammed with notifications all over. In the Play Store, I was the one suggesting using toasts instead of notifications. Here you see why I thought it was a good idea. :)

I hope I can be of some help improving your app. It's a really great one (aside from the things mentioned here). Please let me know, if there's more I can do.
[Android Apps and Games] revuwa:
I'm not deep inside of this kind of stuff. I understand the benefit of crash-tracking, especially in a released alpha version. But could it be possible to see a later "stable" version of secrecy, (probably called "special" or "fdroid version") without crashlytics?
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Of course. I will release a non-crashlytic version on fdroid.
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
1. I don't really know the cause of this. This has to do with gphoto's way of handling files. Quickpic works, miui gallery works, old old aosp gallery works, even gallery3d works.

2. I am doing a complete redo of the gallery. Should see improvement by next release.

3. I am looking forward to replacing the whole thing with a task manager, which in the end i don't need notifs to bind the background thread

Please stay tuned!

Add to vault over USB?

Is it possible to move files onto the vault over USB? SECRECY might not leave temporary files behind, but putting it onto the SD card and sharing into the app certainly would.
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGNYC:
You NEVER know! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Do you mean using USB OTG?
[Android Apps and Games] ediazrod:
I make a new translation of the interface to spanish. my user ediaz

The other translation is like google translate the aplication... (I am a native speaker of spanish)

don't use works like "encriptar" of "encriptacion" this words don't exist in spanish :) is cifrar y descifrar.

I love opensource I like to help!!

I notice the complicate of has a simple text note encrypted, I want have some information encripted like 3 simple text files (view and edit) and 3 fotos...

Regards!!
[Android Apps and Games] stokholm:
Very nice update for version 22, but it gets stuck at the update manager, saying "Updating...". I can bypass it by pressing the back button.

Same for version 30.

Gallery works perfectly for me now, so thanks a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
You all have contributed a lot! This is not just my effort.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Work in progress...

Confirming image loading problem fixed on Sprint Galaxy S4 (SPH-L720T). :good: :D
[Android Apps and Games] Jacobm001:
Direct import

Basically, yes. My understanding is that the files can be put onto the device's SD Card/internal storage like normal, and then added to the application. What seems more useful would be able to directly import things from the computer's storage media into Secrecy.

Anyone using jelly bean have problem activating the select mode in file list?
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Activity

To keep everyone posted... I have been doing much work recently. This thread is not dead yet :P

The next version comes in code alpha 4.0, which judging from the digit upgrade you know we have something new :P

BIG CHANGE: Add filename obfuscation

Other Changes:

- Ditch uservoice SDK in favor of link to website -- smaller APK!

- let users add vault during import mode

- Enhance loading photos in gallery, prevents OOM and better bitmap resource handling

- Custom implementation of action mode because original one does not work in jellybean (sorry!!)

- Fully implement Navigation Drawer -- add Android L navigation menu icon

For those of you that are requesting a non-crashlytics build / no-Internet build, one already exists over at

https://github.com/Doplgangr/Secrecy_fDroid

It has already been accepted by fDroid moderators for inclusion. It is a matter of time before you can start downloading it over at fDroid!

Enjoy being safe!

Hi Doplgangr have you somebody for french translation ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Please PM me for more, since it may get complicated and it would be better to explain in private.
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
There are already friends participating in French translation, and I believe these changes have already been committed to the newest 4.0 build.

Secrecy Support Team RECRUITMENT!

Secrecy Support Team RECRUITMENT!

### Welcome to Secrecy.

I believe you come from XDA or Play Store, and you are interested in helping out in our project. As you may know, I started this project off with myself, but when it gains popularity, it seems that I cannot do everything on my own. Thus help is needed badly to breath new air into this project.

### Wait, I'm not professional.

Frankly, I'm not professional too. I'm just, as you think of it, a kid with thoughts. I'm looking for all kinds of support, and you may find possible roles in the latter section.

To put it simply, no one is unfit to contribute. From newbie to experienced, everyone is welcome!

### What can I do?

At the moment, I can think of the followings:

* Translators

* Quality Assurance (Testers)

* Collaborator (Code Contributor)

* Marketing advisor

* Design and Promotion

... You name it!

### What can I make out of it?

I don't work for money. It is not possible to repay you with money. However as a contributor, you could get a life-time worth of donation package. You may message me when you are a member and I'll add you to the list.

It is practically the Google Play's testers list, that when you try to purchase the donation package, Google Play does not charge you.

### I'm in! / I wanna know more!

Please contact me at thedoplgangr@gmail.com and specify the followings:

1. Your Github username (If you don't know, here's it: https://github.com)

2. Your preferred role, if any

You could also migrate directly to https://github.com/SecrecySupportTeam and get started with the source code!

Do you need translators for italian language ? If so PM me
[Android Apps and Games] Graveen:
Hello,

I'm interested in contributing. Perhaps this is a bit early (i couldn't free time until 1 month) but i'll at least pull the code and make small changes/familiarize with it.

Thank you !

Question: what is your priority ? Secrecy fDroid or legacy one ? Can't we handle only one branch ie fDroid one ?
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Thanks!!!

Please PM me your github ID so that I can add you to our team.

Actually the fDroid variant is just a downstream fork of the original favor, just removing elements of user tracking. We work all editings on the original branch i.e. Secrecy repo.
[Android Apps and Games] Graveen:
Perhaps it is also interesting to precise how to import properly into what ide & what version, gradle version etc. Running AndroidStudio 0.89 implies some changes that could not be committed as easily :)
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Thanks!! I have added you to the community.

Thanks for the suggestion and I will add a wiki page to detail some aspects of deployment.
[Android Apps and Games] Graveen:
Basically, with the actual Android Studio (0.8.9) Gradle support goes from 1.11 to 1.9 while Secrecy is build on 1.10.

You have to D/L manually gradle, install it to add 1.10 support in your gradle directory

Then you can import into AS from build.settings.

I'm Eclipse former user, and perhaps this is really time to switch to AS definitively :) I always feel a bit lost when starting AS and not experienced with Gradle :)

We could ofc also upgrade Gradle version to match latest AS, but i don't actually know what it implies in term benefits/drawbacks.

shame to have needed just 25 seconds to crack the password

By Winny via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] franovantOtto:
Italian translation is done, but if you need a tester and a simple graphic works, I can do it!
[Android Apps and Games] Graveen:
Can you elaborate ? :) From an open session, directly after a reboot ? Thank you !
[Android Apps and Games] Magissia:
Shame to be able to bruteforce (because there's low chances it was actually cracked) passwords but be unable to explain what and how it can be improved. It's a development forum, a correct reaction would be "I was able to bruteforce/retrieve password from $XYZ using $ABC, $EFG can be improved $this_way to mitigate the risk" or "I was able to bruteforce/retrieve password from $XYZ using $ABC, you can add/replace $code_snippet at line $line to improve/fix this problem"

Just telling "there is a problem" won't fix it nor help it.
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Yes.

We recently agreed on that the current security level is not high enough and we are working on that. It might have something to do with it, but simply a post stating such a fact would appear spamming to me.
[Android Apps and Games] mushipkw:
I have been searching for an app which can save files directly to Dropbox/Google Drive, but I haven't find any after 2 days of trying virtually every app. So, it would be great if we can set the vault location on the cloud.
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
Try boxcryptor or truecrypt (eds support truecrypt on android)

If you want your vault on dropbox then use dropsync application for custom folder sync. If you want sync on google drive or other 3rd party services try foldersync app

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Android Apps and Games] mushipkw:
The thing is I don't want syncing because it'll take space both on my phone & cloud. I have a big collection of photos which I would like to save encrypted directly on Dropbox. And later view them like a gallery from within the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
It seems absolutely an interesting option!

However we are still focusing on more essential functions. We will try out different possibilities when we are out of beta!
[Android Apps and Games] winny57:
Sorry but this is not insulting your application is I is not brute force either !!! I have managed to recover without brute strength element if you gave me your file I can retrieve the image
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Sorry for not updating guys... I have been busy organizing a health exhibition here in HK :) It's so much fun!

Getting off tangent again :silly:

Our team have been trying to bring a higher level of security since the original encryption method in alpha Secrecy is somewhat unsafe. Thus we are heavily modifying the encryption engine to to-date AES methods. Yet this breaks a lot of stuff and brings lower performance, and we are looking for ways to eliminate such outcomes.

Thus, the next version will come out a little late, so please be patient!

We may also move to the latest Lollipop SDK, meaning that there would be better visual performance and better aesthetics especially if you are trying out one of the Android 5.0 preview ROMS.

P.S. still recruiting team members!!!
[Android Apps and Games] k452t0n:
Health Exhibition wow :good:

Does it actually mean that previously encrypted files are at risk??
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
would you mind explaining how you are doing this?
[Android Apps and Games] winny57:
it is very simple, created two folder with different password, then go to sdcard / secrecy is copy the "Nomedia" file from the first to the second is the password the second will change
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Theoretically this works by allowing one to access the vault and view the files, but it shouldn't let them decrypt the files.
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Hi people :)

Our alpha 5.0 is on its way. Expect us.

Can't wait to see what's new? We have new strings waiting for translation, and it can give you a hint!

https://crowdin.com/project/secrecy-the-file-safebox

:)
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
so now I'm curious what exactly is the .nomedia file???
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
It has two uses, as for the old versions ...

1. It prevents the media scanner from pulling media files from your vaults. Since your files are still named with the original file extensions, and the media scanner will try to interperete them as valid media files and cause problems.

2. It consists of a quick check of your password. It is a text file encrypted with your password, and a simple decryption of the nomedia file can instantly report if your password is correct.

However, as we are changing to a new vault format on version alpha 5.0 (to be released), there will no longer be a .nomedia file in the future :)
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
thanks so much for the explanation... one more question... is that file AES encrypted?
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Of course! It is encrypted with the AES encryption standard just like any other files in the vault.
[Android Apps and Games] mrsaman:
Hello master

I have a question...

Why in manifest file you write

<application
android:name=".CustomApp_"

But the file name is CustomApp.java ???
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
We are using a Library called Android annotations, where the processed files are with underline. You may check out their library to know more
[Android Apps and Games] franovantOtto:
Wow! I think that tomorrow I will have time for translate in Italian language...
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGNYC:
Hi. Would it be possible for a future version to let the user specify an output folder for the decrypted/exported files?
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
of course! That's among our issue list in github :)
[Android Apps and Games] JerryGNYC:
Great! Thanks much!
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
just a couple suggestions as I use Secrecy tonight. I did a bulk decryption and all the files were saved to sdcard0 just fine BUT it would probably be better if they were decrypted and saved in a folder with the same name as they were in Secrecy... just a thought.

Also, is the only way to change a folder password to delete it and create it again? couldn't seem to find another way.

I re-imported the decrypted files back into Secrecy in a new folder and everything was handled exactly as it should be. All files were moved from sdcard0 to my extsdcard and deleted just fine from sdcard0.

Thanks again for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
A little teaser of what is new in 5.0

- better encryption algorithm that guarantees better security.

- ability to change vault password

- use of android 5.0 API, works best with your lollipop builds

- backup-restore mechanism

- many more coming...
[Android Apps and Games] franovantOtto:

I just translate the French but what is unfortunate is that there are limits to the number of characters

French=95%
[Android Apps and Games] Magissia:
Hello, for the french translation, more than translating you can vote on non proofreaded translations to help me spot typos when proofreading !

If no typo found, vote +1, if typo found vote -1 and send another suggestion.

If you use the app, you could add context where you can to help other translators (not only the french translators)

Thanks for your participation !

Edit : French translation is done but current state may not be optimal until proofreaded + context additions where possible on non proofreaded parts.

Edit 2 : Took the initiative to mark as proofreaded translations most voted favorably in some languages to ensure they are used in the app. Hope it'll help some end user to ensure they have the best translation available from the community. Even if there's no dedicated maintainer for your language, you have the power to push best translation with votes if the current one is incorrect or could be improved :)
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
Seems like we introduced a bug in the updating routine. I'll work on it now....

Edit: Vault update fix is available on GitHub. But you'll have to wait until Doplgangr pushes a new apk. (or of course compile your own version with this change included: github.com/SecrecySupportTeam/secrecy/pull/71)
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
Thanks you for providing the bug report. I introduced this bug while fixing another one and didn't test the update process afterwards. When Secrecy leaves the alpha or beta state we hopefully can avoid this with automated tests.

bug in the new update

Hi Team,

I have recently updated to new version on moto x (first Gen) , there is been a issue accessing the vaults, it says update to new encryption and then when i give the right password, it says maybe i have entered the wrong password, i have lot of files in it, please help:(
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Can you kindly check which version you arw on?
[Android Apps and Games] josephdmello:
i am on 0.5.2
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
PMed you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] the_rebel:
I didn't use Secrecy for a 1-2 months, and it'd gone through some updates in the meantime. (Nice GUI changes!)

So I'm trying to open the vault and it tells me it needs to update, I click OK, enter password and it tells me the password isn't right. I did this lots of times and am pretty sure I'm entering the right password (I keep it same for some other apps, and they accept it fine).

Any ideas?
