hello my friend, first of all thanks for the reply... I have actually having issues but I have been busy so only today I was able to come and report back.. I apologize for that!

I have setup using my Google account, and i had a really hard time getting it to sign in.. Eventually it worked, only to display this error message in the picture...

If I press retry it just pops the message up again, if I press sign out it goes back to the login screen and the same thing happens again...

Apart from a couple of times that it asked me to setup the password again, when I did it gave an error and took me back to login screen... Confusing really :eek:

After a couple hours I've tried the app again and it asks for the initial setup as if I had never used it before..

Any more info I can send you?

Thx!

Sorry for getting a bit late in this. The issue was not in the app but on our server because of which duplicate vaults were shown on the list. We have fixed it in our servers and it should be fixed for you. No app update is required.

Just open the app again with internet connection turned on. Do let me know how it works for you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
Yeah it worked, thanks again :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
It seems you are having an issue, so lets solve this on priority.

What problems did you have in signing in? All other users seem to have a very smooth experience in the sign up process. What problem did you exactly face?

The setup flow is really simple and it hardly takes 2 minutes for even newbie users to get started in the app. Am sure something wrong might have happened with you which is causing this problem.

I would recommend you to uninstall this current app, delete the Andrognito 3 folder from the internal storage and download the latest version from beta channel (Beta 14) and install it.

Now when you sign up, use a different email id and not the one you had used before. Basically, try to make a clean install and a completely new registration. Please let me know your observations.

Don't worry about promo codes, if you had used the old one we would give you a new one again: Thanks for the support. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Samson.Xaviers:
Hello there thanks for letting us test drive your application.

The recent beta build v3.0.0B14 i have installed is stable, Servers are responsive even on a slow connection, The user interface is well designed and the new tutorial was helpful.

File encryption for a single* uncompressed video file 194.6MB video file took less than 14.05 sec to encrypt. 23.99sec to restore.

Internal Memory Read 125 MB/s Write 73 MB/s Free Space 18/25 GB

External Storage Read 30 MB/s Write 10 MB/s Free Space* 1.9/15 GB

CPU: Revision r0p1 Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 1.65Ghz 4XARM Cortex-A53 / 1.11GHz 4x ARM Cortex-A53

RAM 2873 MB

Android 6.0.1, Root Access: Yes

Based on my 30mins of observations i say that.

1) The encryption does not have a progress bar/ETA for a single/multi file encryption.

2) The restore progress bar isn't accurate (0-100%Progress bar) 9.45sec (Total time to restore file and refreshed interface) 23.99sec

3) Application left idle does time out and requires re-authentication when it detects an input but the gallery is still visible if the screen is set to always on or is being mirrored.

4) Last login date stamp times out quickly in 3.74sec

5) Unlock features with pro dialog overlays on top of the encrypting lock animation.

My suggestions:

1) Screen overlay/mirroring detection (Have a warning to be displayed that an application running on top of Andrognito may result in data theft.) / (Have an option to black out the mirrored upstream)

2) Have an option to chose encryption algorithms/keys.

3) Device encryption/decryption performance score in settings.

4) Extend last login info to 7days.

5) Display a warning at launch after a successful login when 3 previous failed login attempts were made. (Capture front camera picture, Log network ip and last location after 3 interminable failed login)

Feature Requests -

1.Decrypt and Export to user supplied path other than the original path.

2. Full file name isn't currently shown for files having long names, under All Files Tab.

3. Option for displaying Last Login info in the left slide menu, under user email, for quick review.

3.5 Real time automatic sending of alerts to user specified email/SMS if login attempt fails for x times.

3.8 Option for enabling user activity history when "open","open with","Decrypt and export",etc commands are performed by the user.

This will be helpful when inspite of all the security, someone else entered the app and accessed the data. The user can review activity history and determine what data was compromised.

4. Upon opening the app, the main interface is shown for a second and then the password interface. This drawback should be rectified.

5. Can extra security be added for root users like hiding app details from the android app settings ?

6. Andrognito's folder in the storage be hidden by default and an option be provided to unhide the folder

7. Many a time, I use extended screen on settings (like 10-30 mins)for different purposes. It would be convenient if there were a security option for locking down the app if touch input or motion sensor input isn't detected for x seconds. This will be helpful when I'm using the app (with extended screen on settings) and had to keep my phone down and go somewhere in a hurry without closing the app.

8. Proactive watching of incoming files in a user specified storage location for their automatic encryption in background with predefined user encryption settings.

Yes surely. Have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. Do let us know your feedback on the as well. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
What camera are you talking about bro? Can you please elaborate in a bit more detail? :)
[Android Apps and Games] JoshDaWhite:
You said andrognito will have its own camera that will encrypt the pictures.That camera should capture pictures with a empty exif(search on google what is it)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Hello my friend, I have not used any promo code, so that's not an issue for me... I just want to get the app working.for us.. and figure out whatever the issue might be...

I've done as you requested and the problem remains the same... I am able to sign up to the cloud storage as asked by the app, everything works out until after we're requested fora pin, of if we want to keep using the pass - I choose to use the password... then it says "loading files" and fails with the message you could see in pictures... all in all it seems like the app thinks it has no internet connection and forces me to resign in or log out....

This is the most common behavior for the error I described above, although, without explanation it has worked a single time, only to fail when adding the first file, it showed the same message...

Uninstalling the app and its folders helped at nothing, even tho registering with a new email address was much faster.

This is the most common behavior
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
Beta 15 feels more snappier to me than 14. Good update!
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, sure thing. I have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. It would be great if you can share your feedback on the app as well. It will help us improve the app in a better way. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes surely. Have sent you the details of getting the promo code via PM. Please check and let me know. And also let me know your feedback on the app or if you have any suggestions. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, the offer is still in place. Have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Have sent you the details already via PM. Please check and respond back. Also let me know your feedback on app. It would be really helpful. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dissambler:
What can I do, I can not read my fingerprints. Is there a solution?
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thank you for the appreciation. Glad to know that the app is working well for you. I have sent you the promo code directly via PM. Please check and let me know if you face any issues activating it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Hi, dispite finally being able to setup the app.. after over 50 atempts, I was able to get it working... adding files however doesn't work... sometime it FC the app and at other times it simply shows a grey screen and no file is added to the encryption list.... :(

Edit: installed the app on my tablet now.. I have the exact same issues as on the phone... have no idea what to do, the app works irregularly and most of the time it wont even get past the password screen...
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Just got your response. This is seriously a very weird issue. This is the first time I am getting a report like this where nothing is working, which is simply unacceptable. There are thousands of users who are using the app without any issues at all. Either there is a problem in your device, or the Android version you are trying the app on, or you might be doing something wrong entirely.

I need to know a few important details to help you,

1) The devices that you have tried the app

2) The Android version of each of those devices

3) The email addresses you have used to register the on each of those devices

4) Are your devices rooted? Xposed installed? Or any such thing which might prevent the app from communicating with the server.

5) What Play Services version is your devices on?

I would also like to have a video recording of the problem when you are trying to register the app and nothing works for you. You told that the app force closes, but I didn't get any crash report either. It's really very weird that nothing is working for you only, whereas all other users are using the app fine.

I will try my best to resolve the issue, if there is actually any. I still have got your promo code reserved for you. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Thx for the reply, I'll ry my best to help you understand what's going on.. I don't intend on making your life harder my friend, I enjoy the app and actually also wish I were one of the thousand that has had no issue.

I'm also thinking it could be an issue with the device or the firmware to have issues, but I won't be able to flash a new one until tomorrow, I'm sorry :(

It obviously could also be user error too.. I won't deny that... :eek:

Anyway, answering your questions:

I have tried them both on a sm-n9005 (samsung galaxy note 3 international) and on a sm-n5110 (a samsung galaxy note 8 tablet).

They're both on android 6.0.1, however they're both also running custom ROMs;

Note 3 is running: [ROM][NXTeam][N7 Port][20.Dec.2016] MagMa-NX ROM

Note 8 (tablet) is running: Resurrection Remix 5.7.4

do you mind if I send these thru private message?

Both devices are rooted, but only the note 3 has Xposed (framework 87.1, custom build by wanam) installed with the following modules:

MinMinGuard

Xinsta

Youtube AdAway

Youtube Background Playback

Flat Style Bar Indicators

On the tablet tho, the rom is based on CyanogenMod 13.0, so the only thing I can think of that stops the app from communicating would be the privacy guard feature? Although all permission are set and I don't think I'm missing anything there.

Both devices are running v10.0.84 of google play services.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, surely it will. If you want you can give it a try. If you have your Andrognito 3 folder and its content intact, then you will never lose your files. You can also sync your files to the cloud so that even in case of device theft or broken device, you can still have access to all your files.

We have provided the standard options that should suit all needs. Let me see if we can add a custom option there. Thanks a lot for the feedback. Do let me know if you have any more queries or suggestions. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Do let me know if you face any issues again. And I gave you the promo code as well right? If you have any more suggestions don't hesitate to let me know that as well. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. Also let me know your experience with the app. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Sorry for getting a bit late to you. Thanks a lot for such an in-depth review.

OBSERVATIONS -

1) Yes, it does have a progress bar for sure. It shows the total progress in text and the individual progress of the files in a horizontal progress bar. You can check that from the screenshots in Play Store or XDA original post. Can you show a screenshot where you don't see a progress bar or any progress during encryption?

2) Yes, this is intentional. It took 9.45 seconds to decrypt the file and then it might have taken some time to transfer the file to its original location. It is clearly shown in the decryption dialog box that the file is decrypted first and then it is being transferred to its original location, maybe a SD card.

3) I don't think that the app automatically times out, but it does re-lock itself if you move out of it or lock your device and come back again to the app. Can you clarify this?

4) What do you mean by "Last login date stamp times out quickly in 3.74sec"? Do you mean that the snackbar showing the message dismisses quickly?

5) "Unlock features with pro dialog overlays on top of the encrypting lock animation." - Can you show a screenshot where did this happen? It is really difficult for me to guess otherwise.

SUGGESTIONS -

1) Thanks for this amazing suggestions, we have noted it and will be implemented soon/

2) Yes, we have got some requests related to this. Users can choose between a set of algorithms and key-strenghts as well.

3) It's an another great suggestions. Thanks for it.

4) "Extend last login info to 7days." - What do you mean by this?

5) Yes, for sure. We are working on this feature already and it will soon be available in the upcoming updates. Stay tuned for it.

Thanks again for taking the time for such an in-depth review. Cheers. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot for all your suggestions.

1) This is a very good suggestion. It will be implemented in upcoming updates.

2) Yes, that is not possible as well. You can check the full name from the "Details" option in the bottom sheet.

3) Yes, these are really amazing suggestions. We are currently working on an intruder selfie feature which takes a snapshot of the intruder who was trying to enter the app after a number of failed attempts.

The user activity feature suggestion is excellent. It will surely come up in the future.

4) Can you explain this bug in a bit more detail with steps to reproduce? I am unable to reproduce it.

5) Don't have any plans for this currently. But will surely consider doing this.

6) How can the app itself hide its own folder which it uses to keep its data? Isn't it a cyclic dependency.

7) Yes, an automatic lockout feature will be really helpful. We will bring it in the future.

8) We have got several recommendations for this, we will surely be doing it soon.

Thanks a lot for your awesome suggestions. Really appreciate it. You seem to be a pro user. Do let me know how you like the app overall after a few days of usage from your viewpoint? :)
[Android Apps and Games] hayspat:
Can i get a promo code if the offer is still valid? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
Yeah, this has been fixed in beta 15 â˜ºï¸

Thanks for your continued support. I appreciate your hardwork

Another feature request -

Option for dummy mode, where upon when activated, while operating the app, all files/user selected files in all the tabs/user selected tabs are immediately hidden and a small indicator in the left slide menu for showing that dummy mode is active.

~Usage scenario~

While using the app, someone peeks. In such cases Dummy mode will be helpful tremendously.

Hi Id love to geht a Promi code also Please. Thanks fie the awesome work
[Android Apps and Games] honest1212:
I have become the Beta Tester. Sending you PM. Looking forward to give suggestions and get the promo code.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, I know what empty EXIF is. I lost the context of the conversation and was wondering what camera are you talking about.

But I don't think it would be a good idea to strip off the EXIF data from the pictures taken using Andrognito. Because when the user will decrypt the images permanently from the app, those metadata will still not be there. Many users find it useful to have EXIF data on their pictures and many photo viewing apps use that data to enrich the user experience as well. Many users will simply consider this to be a bug that the photos taken using Andrognito doesn't have any EXIF data.

Do let me know what's your take on this? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks :) Are you facing any issues with the new update? If you sign in to the app once, when does it force log out you and ask you to sign in again?
[Android Apps and Games] Lord of Hell:
Hi Developer, I'm a beta tester now!

Love the apps interface. But it takes time to display the contents of there are many. Most of the times it shows there are no files encrypted, had to refresh multiple times. but the decryption speed is good. Please look into the issue. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
What problem are you specifically facing? You need to select Fingerprint lock and then put your already registered finger in the scanner, so that it gets recorded with Andrognito. :)
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
So far beta 15 has been super stable for me :) No issues.

I had only signed in once, on beta 14 when I installed the app for the first time (and fell in love with it ^^) and since then it hasn't forced logged me out even once.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
You are not making my life harder, rather I am thankful to you for taking the time to try the app and help me resolve this rare issue that you are facing.

I think the problem can be because of the custom ROMs you are using. I personally have tested the app only on stock ROMs and have never seen any issue like this. So may be something wrong is happening when you are running the app on custom ROMs.

Do you have any device with a stock ROM? Or can you flash a stock ROM without Xposed and try the app once. Please do let me know if you face the same issue in a stock ROM as well.

I will also try to install a custom ROM, install Xposed and try to replicate the problem. Thank you so much for your cooperation. :)
[Android Apps and Games] |mickey:
Hello my friend, I can try to flash the nandroid backup of stock on the note 3, will do so tonight after work and report back... I believe you might be right as stock for the note is android 5.1.1 and both roms I have installed are android 6.0.1.

I'll report back with the results maybe even tonight it the flash goes smoothly... Thx again for all your help!

I don't think the developer is giving any more promo codes :(
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
As we had notified earlier, the beta testing promotional offer ends today. I would like to thank every XDA member who has tried and tested the app and had provided really valuable feedback and suggestions to improve the app. It is because of your support that the app has got so much better in its beta testing phase.

Anyone who has requested a promo code before this post will get their promo codes for sure. But we will not be able to accept any more requests for promo codes after this post. Don't worry, we will bring another promotional offer exclusively for XDA members early January, 2017. Stay tuned.

Thank you again for showing so much love and continuously supporting the app. We would request you to leave the beta program, uninstall the beta app and re-download the new app as we will be closing the beta channel soon.

If you like the app, consider giving us a 5 star rating to support our development work and give some encouragement. It hardly takes a minute. If you don't want to rate, that's perfectly okay, please give your feedback so that we can improve the app. :)

Issue with Log in

Today, I have updated the Android App in my mobile. The app got upgraded but while opening its asking for my cloudcredentials. though I have provided the correct ones, Its popping out and saying "There is no user record corresponding to this identifier. The user may have been deleted".

Please let me know how to access my hidden files from this upgraded version.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
You seem to have a problem using the app. Let's resolve your issue on priority.

If I am not wrong, you were using the old app Andrognito 2, right? Now you have updated to Andrognito 3, right? Have you registered on the new app before logging in?

You need to register a cloud account with the new app first. After that ,there is a question of logging in. If this is not the case, then let me know the email address with which you have registered the new app, Andrognito 3. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, the offer was valid when you had requested. I have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. Please check and respond back soon.

Also let me know your feedback on the app. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't understand how it will be really useful. We have a Fake Vault feature already which seems quite similar to this. Isn't it? :)
[Android Apps and Games] CynoMan:
Yeah, it is similar. I just mentioned it as an option to have along with the fake vault. Thanks for listening :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks. I have sent you the details of the promo code via PM. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I think I have already sent you a promo code. If not, do let me know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Lord of Hell:
Hi Aritra Roy, I'm a beta tester for the app and have posted my comments on the thread before you mentioned that no more promo codes would be given after your message. Just wanted to remind that I have not yet received the promo code. Thanks for the wonderful app :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I have sent you the promo code. Are you still facing the same issue? What version of the app are you using? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
That's great. It seems that the app is really working well for you. If you like the app and the customer support, will it be possible for you to take a minute and rate the app and write a short review on Play Store. It would be really helpful for us. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Hey buddy, did you get a chance to flash the new ROM? :)
