I copied the whole Andrognito file to my sd before wiping my device. When TB didn't work, I deleted the app and tried by copying the files over, exactly as you said. Still when I open the app, it says I have 3 files in my vault, but only shows two. It says everything is correctly restored, but they are not. It's no big loss on my end, I was really just testing this out. But if I there is no sure fire way to restore a vault after switching devices or roms, I can't do much with this app. Any idea what went wrong? All three picture files are there in my folder, I just can only look at two.
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
May be one picture file is corrupt, can you please add these 3 pictures to new vault and test again. This never happened to me

[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for testing. I have pushed a new update with a new features and lots of bug and stability fixes.

1) Now you can have the sorting options saved and loaded the next time you open the app. Please check it. You can also have different sorting choices in different places and everything is saved separately.

2) That's awesome.

3) I haven't found anyone having this problem. I think somehow the app is getting force stopped by any task killer or something. Otherwise there is not reason for the app not to open.

Please check the new swipe to view images in the gallery. Do let me know if you face any kind of problem using it. :o
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
This is really unfortunate. The only thing that I focussed mainly was to improve reliability of the app. As the BETA version was too unreliable.

The good thing was that, I haven't got a single report that any one has lost any file in Andrognito 2. This would be the first report I would say.

I think that while changing ROMS this have haven't somehow. I would request you to check if you can reproduce this again and let us know so that we can improve it.

If you face any more problem, do not hesitate to let us know. We are working hard to make this app PERFECT. :)
[Android Apps and Games] d0pecr4wler:
Hey ho,

you app keeps gettin' better and better.

#1 Sorting works perfectly now.

#2 Yeah. :D

#3 It was a task killer, whitelisted the app and now it's working normal.

The gallery/swipe feature is awesome.

Only »problem«, that isn't a real problem at all,

is, that if I open a picture it takes ~6 seconds to close tge picture after I tapped the back button, but maybe it's my phone being too old (Galaxy S3).

That's the only thing I've encountered by now,

the app works like a charm, i love it. ;)

Thanks a lot for such an amazing help. It would really be helpful for a lot of users facing this problem.

Did you try the new swipeable gallery feature in the newest version. Do let me know if you face any issue at all. I am trying my best to make this app better and better and I really appreciate all the help I am getting here.

Have a nice day! :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:

[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thank you for your appreciation. This suggestion is really a very nice one. We have taken it and have updated the app in the latest version.

Do check it out and let us know if this is what you had wanted. :)

We are also looking for some more killer feedback and suggestions from you. Thanks in advance. :o
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for bringing this into my notice. I have also got some info from other users who are regularly switching ROMS and had no problems with this app.

The only thing possible is that somehow, one of the 3 files have been corrupted or tampered or changed in the middle of changing ROMs. Andrognito have been programmed in such a way so that it will only take those files into consideration which have not been tampered in any way. Just to maintain security and prevent malicious data injection.

I would recommend you to test this with some other test files and see if you can reproduce this. Please bring this into my notice if you find anything good. Thanks again.

Btw, how are you liking the overall app? :)
[Android Apps and Games] DrRuckingFetard:
Just installed Andrognito and bought the premium version, after adding a bunch of files to 3 vaults, whenever i try to switch vaults it keeps coming up with wrong pin error, although I haven't made a typo and it now refuses to show all files on startup when opening the app so now i've lost access to many files that it now won't open, not happy :(

edit: this is on my Nexus 5 running Dirty Unicorns, kitkat 4.4.4
[Android Apps and Games] DrRuckingFetard:
installed and tried the same thing on my Nexus 7 2013 running Lollipop 5.1 Dirty Unicorns and the same thing happens when trying to switch vaults in the side pane, consistently saying wrong pin for both vaults when it's the same PIN i used to open the app
[Android Apps and Games] d0pecr4wler:
Hmm... that sounds weird.

Normally my vaults are kept open for quick access,

so they don't have a pin code.

But I created two test-vaults, one w/ the same pin as my login pin

and the second one w/ a complete different pin.

I gain access to both of 'em w/o any problems,

the app prompts me to type in the pin, I do so

and it opens the vault, so I can't repdroduce that behaviour.

Here you can see it.

Going from the first vault (test_00) into the second one (test_01).

And going back from the second vault into the first one.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I can absolutely understand your problem. Even I myself would have been irritated if I would have faced this kind of a problem in my first try.

But I can assure you that this is not the way the app is supposed to work and I have not got any reports of anyone having this particular problem. But don't worry I would surely try to help you on this.

1) Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the app from Play Store, that is 2.0.14.

2) I m sure that this is not a bug in the app and I can also understand that its not a typo while entering the PIN. The only thing that have happened is that while creating the Vault you may have mistakenly made a typo. So now everytime you try to switch Vaults, you are getting this error.

3) Your files are safe, do not worry. You can go to Settings > Vault Settings > Change PIN option. Just select any Vault and change the PIN and now try to open that Vault with the new PIN. It should surely work.

4) I can also give you a nice trick. You can open the "Change Vault PIN" dialog and then without entering any PIN just hit "DONE". It will clear any existing PIN and make the Vault open for quick access.

Please try these and let me know if you still have any problem. I would love to help you on this further. :)
[Android Apps and Games] DrRuckingFetard:
1) yep latest app from the Play Store (2.0.14) on both devices, just downloaded it a few hours ago.

2) I've created several vaults on 2 different devices and the same thing happens on both, consistently saying wrong pin when switching vaults and not showing all files when clicking "Files" in the side pane.

3) Yep i know the files are safe and still there, the only problem was decrypting/being able to access them :p

I tried changing the PIN through the vault settings, to PINs such as 0000 to avoid any possible typo and still have the same error.

4) Changing the vault PIN to blank now finally makes the vaults accessible again, but makes them insecure so anyone can open the app.. now using the TimelyPIN feature as a work around for my problem, removing all individual vault PINs while still requiring a PIN upon startup :)

thanks for the help, strange this is happening on 2 devices while no one else has encountered this :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] jUstSash:
Do you need translation to GERMAN? :)
[Android Apps and Games] nlatifolia:
Can anyone explain to me why would I want to use this software if I already activated internal encryption feature from Android ? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Celestial Fury:
Let's not forget the false representation of offering premium version for translations. No need to wait anymore I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] darKpoiSonend:
fingerprint?

Hi, I've been using Andrognito for quite a while now and I really like it!

It's beautifully designed and easy to use, however since I finally got my Galaxy S6 Edge I was wondering if it would be possible to implement the fingerprint sensor as a means for authentication?

I've searched the thread for anything related to fingerprints but couldn't find anything.

If there is already something related to this then please excuse me for not finding it.

Awesome work!
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
First of all, I would like to thank you for taking a look at this app and giving your valuable suggestions. I would not take this as a criticism or anything bad. It was my pleasure to get some feedback from such a recognized developer like you (even if it is not so sweet for me).

I am not trying to make any false claims here nor trying to wrongfully misguide my users in any way. I think there was some kind of misunderstanding and I would try to explain you some things and hope you will cooperate. :)

Actually, by "military-grade encryption" we were referring to AES. We didn't use any weak algorithm created by ourselves where their is such a powerful and secure algorithm like AES 256-bit in CTR used by many military and security organizations. I m not trying to falsely represent any information here. :)

Yes, absolutely. I know about steganography and have worked on it too on other projects. But in this app, by "hiding" we mean that when a particular file is encrypted then there is neither any trace of the original file anywhere in the Android filesystem nor any app (like Gallery, File Manager) that can find it. That is why it gets "hidden" from the device and can not be recovered other than this app. I hope I am not making any false claims here. :)

Yes, this is a loophole that you found out and I would like to thank you for it. Actually, the database is not encrypted and that's why the information could be retrieved. But that doesn't decrypt the file in any way. The filename that you found was actually that of the encrypted files.

But the files are still encrypted using AES and hidden from the filesystem, right? It is not like many other apps which take a file and puts a "dot" in front of the filename to hide it.

Those files that you found contain the raw encrypted data and the encrypted thumbnails. But we will be fixing this loophole too by encrypting the database. So there would be no other way to get this information too. :)

Actually, the 4-digit PIN is used to access the app. You can't also do a brute-force on this as it will lock the app after a certain number of failed attempts. If you check that all information in the Shared Preferences are encrypted too so there is no way to get data from there. We just need to encrypt the contents of the databases too.

I would still like to thank you for giving such an in-depth insight into the app and giving me a chance to improve it. I have no intention to falsely claim anything or deceive any of my users. Nothing is perfect, and there is always a chance to improve it. I am glad that I got that chance from you. Thank you so very much :)
[Android Apps and Games] Somebod y:
Wow, this is the way a developer should respond criticism. I'll give that app a try, when you fixed the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for showing support here. Btw, did you find time to check the latest version of he app which addresses a lot of bugs and enhancements. Would love to hear back from you? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot for trying out the new features and confirming that everything is working fine n your side. :)

1. That's great. This was a much demanded feature and its now here. Did you ever face any crash while choosing any of the sorting options? Some people have reported and I am clueless.

3. As I had guessed. This is the only way Invisible Mode can be stopped. So this problem is also solved.

The swipe-gallery feature is actually designed to work as smooth as possible?

1. Did you face any lag while swiping from one picture to the other?

2. What was the original size of the picture which made you experience the ~6 seconds lag while pressing the back button?

This may help me understand the problem better and to optimize if possible.

Thanks for your cooperation all the time. Glad to have some really cooperating users like you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
Its working great really appriciate your hard work, no problems here with the app. can you please add fingerprint authantication as well ? It would really be helpful for users having devices with fingerprint scanners.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot for confirming that you do not have this problem ever and cannot even reproduce it. I am still unsure why he had that problem. :(
[Android Apps and Games] d0pecr4wler:
No problem, I'm glad that I can help. :D

#1 No crashs over here. Every sorting option works perfect.

Even if I switch vaults or close and re-open the app.

The sorting order is saved and nothing crashs.

#2 The swipe gallery works like a charm. No lags while swiping through the pictures and no crashs either.

#3 The picture size was ~7MB. But now, the 6 seconds lag seems to be gone. When lressing the back button, it goes back w/o any lag. Maybe there were too much RAM eating apps on my phone.

[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
This is a real strange problem. But about point 4.

4) You can keep the Vaults open for quick access. But this doesn't make the app insecure in any way.

To access the app someone needs to have the profile PIN. After that they can get access t the Vaults. :)

I think you are misunderstanding some features here. TimelyPIN is not a workaround for the normal PIN. There are two types of PINs here.

One is the Profile PIN which you need to access the app, without this PIN it is impossible to even access the app. And the second type of PIN is the Vault PIN, which is not mandatory. You can keep your Vaults password protected for more security but that's not necessary.

So you do not need TimelyPIN as a workaround. You can still have your default PIN to open the app and keep the Vaults open for faster access. Doesn't decrease security in any way. :)

Do let me know if you still have any confusion on this. Will be happy to clarify.
[Android Apps and Games] hansen5265:
Hi.

The app can't retrieve files in my vault (open vault/no pins).

The vault shows 641 files at the side menu but it says no files when it tries to retrieve them.

Help.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
1) Firstly, about moving the Vault to SD card. Yes it would be done soon. But you gave a nice idea. It can be made an a enperimental feature which requires ROOT to work.

2) I never got anyone else reporting the crash while in Settings menu. I am sure this is a problem with the ROM in some way.

3) Thanks for the awesome tutorial on moving files to SD card safely. This will help a lot of users to store their Vaults in the SD card if they want to.

4) I think you didn't check fully. The app is free, but supports limited features. To unlock all the features one needs to buy the paid version.

For many users, the free version is enough to support all their basic needs.

5) If you phone fails and you need to do a factory reset. Then normally you loose your files. Because all the files will be gone anyhow as you do a complete reset. Its not because you loose the database or something.

6) I will check this bug for JPEG pictures and fix it.

7) Yes, this is a good idea. Will add the support for GIF soon.

Thank you for such an in-depth insight into the app. Hope to interact with you more. :)
[Android Apps and Games] DrRuckingFetard:
RE- the timelyPIN comment, yes that was my mistake, profile PIN still controls access to the app overall.

Also even when I make a new vault and leave the password field blank, and tick the box to enable quick access, the files in all vaults still can't be seen when clicking Files in the side tab, and some vaults are saying 0 files inside yet when I select them individually to open them, the files are there. To clarify a bit, when the side menu is open where it displays the total amount of files within all vaults, the total is correct, but clicking it to show all said files, only shows the files within the last individually opened vault, and this is the case on both my devices.

Lastly, would it be possible to make it so the app locks itself again even after pressing the phone's menu button to minimise the app, rather than just having to press the back button multiple times? If I press the menu button to go back to my home screen (which i'm sure most people do out of habit), it leaves the app unlocked and therefor insecure..
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot for such a nice offering. We will be starting our work on translation soon. We will be letting you know when we need.

We have planned to provide the premium version of this app for free to the translators who complete more than 50% of any language. We are working on providing a good way to gift premium to our translators.

Are you willing to test it for me by trying premium? Do you have premium?
[Android Apps and Games] jUstSash:
i don't have premium yet, but thanks. and i really don't know how i should translate it though. do i get the full code or just the word, needed to be translated - such as a txt-file... :confused: :D
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, good question. But before I can answer that, I need to know what version of Android are you using? And have you just encrypted the internal data?
[Android Apps and Games] nlatifolia:
Still in Kitkat 4.4.2 stock ROM from Samsung Note 3. I have been encrypting external and internal since I bought the smartphone.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
The translations were for the BETA version which we are not using anymore and hence none of the translated strings. We started this app from scratch. I told you that we will start translations for this app and then we will be giving out the premium versions for this one. I also told you that you will be the first to get it when we start.

Even I was going to ask you for your email ID so that I can test the premium with you. But I saw some of your recent posts and approached other users.

We have noticed that you have never tried to be cooperative to the us and always tried to bring us down and throw stones at us, whenever you got a chance (even if it was not at all a valid reason), while there are other members who are trying to improve this app in every way possible. So this clearly shows that you are not at all interested in this app in any good way, just trying to criticize us.

As we promised that we will reward our translators with premium, we will. This may be "a false representation" for you and we have to move on with other users.

But if you are willing to change this then we are always open to cooperate with you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Celestial Fury:
We're back to this? Ok.

Translation for a Beta version? Who would want to translate to get a BETA version?? And what would the

difference

be in this beta version compared to anyone who just downloads it? The point is, we HAVE finished the translation but have received NOTHING. Not even a BETA (LOL) version for translators. So, now that beta is gone and we translated for nothing and you want us to translate again for your new, Not Beta app? Like hell.

Who are these 'we' that you're talking about? Pity they can't talk for themselves. Here's my long constructive posts in your thread:

#151

Here's where you pushed us to finish your BETA translation:

#227

Here's where your app is trying to obtain calling permission:

#242 and it STILL IS trying to do so in your Not Beta version.

Here's your crap answer:

#250 and here I am telling you again I don't use stealth/invisible mode and it happens even if I DON'T even use your Not Beta app or even OPEN it. You are hooking or invoking something wrong.

Here's where you came back after disappearing for SIX months without a word and when you came back, not a word about the translations (forgot you PUSHED us to finish it, did you?):

#258 You said you were sick - for SIX months? Yeah, right. You just couldn't be bothered. You took what you had, decided it wasn't good enough so did something else.

Here's where you confirm Premium version for translators but holy crap, you say it's now a Not Beta version and if we want the Premium we have to translate it again because only 10% of the strings are the same? Like hell:

#272 "Absolutely ready to gift the in-app purchases to the translators, but... no way for this"? Holy crap? Why not say this in the first place that you had no intention way of giving premium (but hey, thanks for translating!)? Then let's see who would have bothered.

TLDR: Stop lying and ripping off translators.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Seriously. Most of your words make on sense. You got a chance and wasted it. Not a issue.

Firstly, I do not need to explain you anything more. It is seriously meaningless. The way you behave is not acceptable. Just a few things,

1) About calling permission - I have repeatedly tried to make you understand what this is for, but you never did. I think you don't even understand how these permissions or Android apps work. This permission is not used for calling people randomly as you might be thinking. :laugh:

2) About disappearing for SIX months - I tried to explain you this too. I suffered from a serious health problem but all you are cared about is a reply that you didn't get. You expect a person who is fighting with a serious health problem, needs to come to this thread to reply you regularly? Seriously? I have never seen someone like you before.

3) If we want to get the premium, we need to translate again - No. The translators who translated the previous app can get the premium even before starting to translate the new one. They will all get once I start the translations again. Only new translators will get it later.

You just showed your nature. I also gave you a chance to change what you are doing. But again you tried to throw stones at us out of nothing. And the way you behaved is far behind being polite. :)
