great app,

but i hope you are working on a feature to add multiple files at the same time.

would be very useful.

how long should it take to encrypt a 50mb file ?

i am seeing a status bar notification for an hour now !!

seems like it is encrypting ?!

i don't even see the power off or restart options on pressing the power button, i suppose the app disabled those because it is still working?

quite confused.

any help ?
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
That feature is already available. You can import files from any application by using the Android share function. e.g. you can select multiple files in your gallery app, press the 'share with' button and select secrecy.

The performance depends on the power of your device. I made a benchmark with my Oneplus One where a 85MB files needs about 4-5 seconds. We had reports that sometimes the status bar notification does not disappear. We are investigating the circumstances of this issue. But nevertheless you should see your imported file in the vault even if the notification does not disappear.

Edit: We don't have a feature that disables the power button on purpose.
[Android Apps and Games] rht_sg:
thanks for the fast reply. 85mb in 5 secs sounds reasonable.

it seems something is stuck somewhere, i think i will pull the battery and restart the phone.

restarting got rid of the notification.

the three original files, copies of which were encrypted, seem to have been corrupted.

the copies decrypted fine, so i did not lose anything.

maybe i did something wrong during the original encryption.

thanks for ur helpful comments !
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:

I have just created a self-help entry for those who face upgrade problems in our support forum.

http://secrecy.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/469851-i-failed-to-upgrade-my-vaults

For those who still have problems please take a look. If you faced failed upgrades before, please kindly check it out and see if it fits in your case and this would have helped you before. :P

You can also look around the support forum, I bet many of you still don't know it yet.

Thanks very much!!

Of course, if you still have problems, please feel free to PM me.

Can anyone build secrecy source in an linux operate system and then give me output apk file, i want to do this but my ram is less than 2 and i cannot build secrecy in android studio, android studio in during building has crashed, please only build on linux distros. thanks, and sorry for English
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
Love this app... if you ever have problems upgrading your vaults don't give up hope AND don't delete them. I had issues but they were worked out in another release.

Didn't lose anything
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Hi,

Started using this nice app again. 2 ideas:

-It would be nice to be able to make folders inside of vaults

-Now the folder where the vault is kept has the same name as the vault inside of the app so people can see a folder on my external sd called /secrecyfiles/banccards/. Files inside are safe but still it would be better if foldernames would be crippled IMHO.

Is is possible to change project for import to Android Studio Final ??

[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:

"Problem setting up in-app billing.

Please check your Play store."
[Android Apps and Games] Ranov_68:
Hello guys,

great app! Is there any apk around without CRASHLYTICS, means without network access?

Thank you for your efforts!
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
Actually we have patched out Crashlytics at our master (github.com/SecrecySupportTeam/secrecy/commit/68cdad3caeee01293792c7b810d59a2f058a03eb). The version from F-Droid (f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=secrecy&fdid=com.doplgangr.secrecy) has always been without Crashlytics, but haven't been updated recently (still using the old encryption mode, not having the performance optimizations). I would not recommend using that one, but we should take this as an opportunity to update the F-Droid version. We'll let you know when that happened.

(I'm sill not allowed to post external links, so these are not simply click-able and have to be copy and pasted...)

Edit: Of course we will also remove the network access permission.

Are you using a custom rom without the Play services?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Yes i am using custom ROM

But all playstore services are properly updated

All the other apps are working fine
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
I can't reproduce the error on my devices. (CM12 nightlies with PA pico Gapps package). We are using a third-party library for the In-App-Billing service which has been iterated into Secrecy by Doplgangr, so I'm not involved into the details. But maybe this issue can be handled by updating the library to the current version. I'll contact Doplgangr about it.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I am using the latest PA Gapps from here
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Thank you for this.

I think I will be making a patched version with updated libraries and see if things can resolve.

I'll PM you when things are ready.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I have been using SECRECY for a long time now.

Its really an awesome app.

But there are some bugs which needs to be fix.

Could you please help me with that ?

Bug List :

1. When i dials Stealth Mode password, it open the app and calls the password number.

I have to end the call and later delete it from the call logs.

2. Deleting multiple files from the vault is buggy.

It does not delete all the selected files.

Sometimes it deletes non selected files.

Please could you please fix these problems ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
Thank you very much for reporting these bugs.

Issue 1 should have been fixed in our current master, which is not yet pushed into the Play store. (https://github.com/SecrecySupportTeam/secrecy/commit/18d5d745072bcfeb2b2190ee3054d887f707cddd)

Do you have a force close when you are deleting multiple files? I have already fixed an issue where the app crashes when a file without a thumbnail is deleted. (https://github.com/SecrecySupportTeam/secrecy/commit/ebd55f7a54e9d42a66a113de229f672aa807e418)

Please continue to reports bugs. It's the only way we can fix them :)
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
No. no forced close issues

Could you please PM me a current build for testing purpose ?
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
I hope this will help you

I have 6 files in my vault called Test

I selected 1,2,3,4,5 and clicked delete (Please note i didn't select 6)

after clicking OK 1,3,5,6 got deleted and 2,4 is still in my vault.

I didn't selected 6 but it got delete. the selected 2,4 didn't got deleted.

This is the problem that i am facing.

Please fix this.

Please help !

Screenshot of this operation is also attached to this post. please take a look at it.

Any plans to add function to hide apps and run it inside the app?
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
I think we never thought about that. (I never did, because I'm running Cynagenmod which already has this feature).

It might be a tricky feature. I'll open an Issue at GitHub for this feature request and we will talk about it then.

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

I could reproduce that bug, but I noticed that the correct files are deleted from the vault. The list just shows the wrong files after deletion. If you re-enter the vault, you'll see that the right files have been deleted. I'm going to fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Hum..

I just noticed that.

anyways it has to be fixed. otherwise people will get confused while selecting and deleting multiple files.

I also noticed that the Gallery mode interface in the vault does not sort files in the alphabetic order.

Could you fix that too ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] L-Henke:
Fixes are already on GitHub (https://github.com/SecrecySupportTeam/secrecy/pull/109, https://github.com/SecrecySupportTeam/secrecy/pull/110).

I'll send you a new build with the gallery fix included.
[Android Apps and Games] laura almeida:
Thank you so much. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Thank you everyone for things happening here!

especially [MENTION=5331708]laura almeida[/MENTION] for all the bug reports and [MENTION=6137404]L-Henke[/MENTION] for handling things for me when I'm away.

About Hiding apps, it would be most tricky of all, and has always been asked as one of the requested user feature.

The concern is, it quite deviates form what we're doing here (Using best encryption method to encrypt files). The main focus of the app would have been deviated. I always hold the believe of doing one thing and doing it best, which is better than doing multiple things but doing them only mediocrely.

Would really want to listen more to what you guys think about this.
[Android Apps and Games] FuMMoD:
Yes I agree it's better to perfect the app first before adding anything on. I haven't really favored CM in a long time since I've been running cataclysm. I'm subbed here in case it does pop up, but in the meantime I still use the encryption portion. Thanks!

I'm very interested in trying this out... but the play store version seems to not have been updated since November 2014 (?) - although there seems to be lots of activity on the app itself. Where can I get the most recent version that addresses some of/most of the issues raised here? Thanks

EDIT: I took the plunge and bought the Donation Package... but I still see the issues listed in this post (the phone bit in particular)... you mentioned in a response that there was a version that this was fixed - can you PM it to me, or tell me how to find it, please?

Yes they are deleted once in the vault. No sure about recovery possibility - are they shredded totally or is it possible to get them back with some tools ? i don't know for the last point :)

Name and image are magnet for bad dudes

Been using the app and like it very much, sent you the mini-$ for coffee. Big problem I see is the Icon of the app when just leafing through the phone. It just screams: " hidden secrets, must be inspected"; having the combo dial only emphasizes that. Keep in mind the basic "security through obscurity". So something subtle, please.
[Android Apps and Games] mva1985:
Looking in the play store this app was last updated in November 2014
[Android Apps and Games] tstar99:
I got mine from Play about 2 weeks ago so will be the latest, thus my earlier comment applies. It is a superb app but the name and the icon just makes a "come on and get me" challenge to any inspector or bad guy. Hide in plain sight is a basic tenet of crypto security.
[Android Apps and Games] deadcatsrule:
There is no way to keep this app from showing up in the play store Andrognito 2 has the same issue what is the point in hiding files when the app it self reports to google

Back a bit in business. Will try to maintain Secrecy for at least Pie. I have not found such an app (easy to use, can view my documents, etc..)
[Android Apps and Games] ralaud:
Nice to see, that you are working on this app :highfive: :svetius:

I found "EDS Lite" App as an alternative to Secrecy, so if you need help https://github.com/sovworks/edslite would be a nice source. You can create and en/de-crypt Veracrypt containers with EDS Lite, but Secrecy would be much more user friendly and has a better design.

Thanks for your work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Wonderful news, thanks so much! Android is desperately in need of a foss file encryption app!

Is the current/old apk around anywhere? I can't find it on xda git or Play?

THANKS!
[Android Apps and Games] Graveen:
Sure, i'll compile it.

Right now i hesitate to port Secrecy to Xamarin - as i'm mainly working with Xamarin. I think i'll give a go with Android Studio then, if i develop new features, and given what it is, i could switch to Xamarin.

I have no idea why it have been removed from Play Store.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Was not aware of EDS (lite). Basically i like the Veracrypt driver (and others, but i'm working for my job with VC and i love it) but i prefer Secrecy usability (ie when you open a document then close the phone, the vaults are closed etc...).

Thank you for pointing it to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Bingley:
Great, thanks for the update & info! Xamarin I've seen can be a pain as I've seen with Bitwarden devs, so whatever works.

I alos love VeraCrypt but agree, the usability is better this way.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ralaud:
[MENTION=3215120]Graveen[/MENTION]

I agree, VC is really nice, and you're right on EDS Lite I need to close the container myselft. So it could be possible that I forget to close it..

In my opinion, apps for increasing the security need to be open source, otherwise you can not increase your security (EDS Lite source will be released every few months, when they feel like its time :(, so I don't know whats changing, if I install a newer version before the latest source is released).

Thats why I appreciate your work so much :good: .

Hi is there any release scheduled for before 2019? Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] tstar99:
Secrecy not on Play but I found some good APL alternatives there, including one named Calculator which is not a calculator but a very good secret vault app. The icon for the app mimics a real calculator app so a visitor to your phone is likely to pass it by. The app is free but has a premium version which has some very good features but not really necessary.

Hello, I have been Secrecy for long time. It was one of the best solution I could find for my needs. But recently, I couldn't open any of my previous images.

[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Good work here.

The app crashes wholly when a wrong password is entered. I have reported the stack trace, you will be able to see that on your play store developer console soon.

And why is there a persistent notification called "All temp files removed"?

Why the app needs background service for?
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
thank you for the bug report. While i have tried ro handle the wrong password, there might be something that i have missed.

When you decrypt a file, a raw file exists on your storage for access by other apps. (There is still no solution for root-less virtual storage i can think of.)

The service is a file observer that will monitor the 'wild cats' and clean them up actively. That's why you see the notification 'temp files removed'.
[Android Apps and Games] varun.chitre15:
Ah Ok, maybe you can remove the notification then? It's a bit annoying when you can't Swipe out the notification.

And here is the stack trace, so u don't have to wait for play store

Anyway we could move files already on the phone to folders in secrecy?

Or are the Online services like Drive / DropBox the only way currently?

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
I do not quite understand your problem...

The app should be able to add files from local storage.

More specifically, you only see drive / dropbox when you try to add files? Can you take a screenshot of that please?

(Are you a Samsung user?)
[Android Apps and Games] attckdog:
No problem, Here's a screen.

Yikes it is a strange piece of software and I will add compatibility to it in future releases.

In the mean time consider using a third-party file explorer

After installing another explorer, try again. It should work now.

Installing the suggested File Explorer fixed it.

[Android Apps and Games] PLUG313:
suggestions:

vaults shouldn't be deletable without the password :/

there could be an option to just have a master password to open the app, and then inside you could have various vaults not protected by passwords that would just function as folders really :P

bugs:

clicking on settings does nothing

comments: awesome app, can't wait for future updates. love the design!

the name, I'm not sure about it, something like Secret Vault would sound better to me! xD
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Thanks for the suggestion. However I am thinking about separating different vaults for different private lifes, e.g. one for work, one for cat-adoring, one for selfies, etc.

Settings screen is not a bug, the app is too alpha it even doesn't have a settings page. LOL.

Thanks for your support, and would be greatful if you could bump my thanks metre and rate the app on Google Play!
[Android Apps and Games] PLUG313:
oh yeah, that makes sense!

there could still be an option to just protect everything with 1 password, though.

ohhh xD I thought it was a bug, it's great then

no problem! I forgot to thank you, but I think I was actually the first to rate your app on GP yesterday, and I gave it 5* too ;) I'm Miguel on G+
[Android Apps and Games] dr.wtf:
i think i don't get it. i create a new vault, add a file to the vault, close the app, open root explorer, go to where the file was, see the file, can open the file. go back into the app, login into the vault, see the file in there :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Doplgangr:
Maybe I was not clear enough in the instructions

The file is copied to a safe location, i.e. an encrypted and unencrypted version exists.

You can go on and delete your original file.
[Android Apps and Games] s'pht:
Is there any way to add multiple files at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.wtf:
ah ok thanks. so it is copied to the secrecyfiles folder...

i'd suggest that you also encrypt the file names in the future.

also will it be possible to move the secrecyfiles folder to the external sd? and auto removing the original files would be great.
