First of all, thanks a ton for your awesome appreciation. Glad you like dour app so much. :)

1) The crash happened when you were not using the app, I mean how is that possible? If this happens again, can you send us the crash report with your message. We would be prompt enough to fix it.

2) Its not just about having the skills, its about choice. We have deliberately chosen not to use INTERNET ACCESS permission in our app to give the users the most safest sense of security. Everything stays local.

3) Yes, we have got many recommendations for this feature and looking forward to do it soon. Not just for ROOT users, for all users.

4) This is rather an EXCELLENT suggestion. We would be doing it for sure in the future updates. We are working on some other awesome things currently.

Do you have any other awesome feature request? And how is the app running overall for you? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Celestial Fury:
You are mistaken.

[IMG="You are mistaken."]http://img.acianetmedia.com/i/lkKbM.png[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I am sure that I am not mistaken in any way. I would like you to read the newly added "Andrognito is 100% Local, NO INTERNET ACCESS" section to have a detailed read about it.

If you still think I am mistaken, I would be more than happy to correct myself. Don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Celestial Fury:
XPrivacy shows Andrognito requesting 3 internet permissions. Are you denying this? I show photographic evidence (anyone who has XPrivacy installed can see for themselves) and you just ignore it and tell me to read about your newly added section? This is XDA man. We know what goes on under the hood.

EDIT:

None of the internet permissions your App is asking is required at all much less for the reasons given as it works despite have all its internet permissions blocked.

The last time I brought up an issue, SEE HERE concerning the app making a calling permission request despite me not even using invisible mode or even opening the app after a reboot, you couldn't answer and disappeared for SEVEN months. And don't say that was the beta and it doesn't do that anymore. The point is, why did it do it in the first place and why didn't you answer when it was clearly pointed out? So, I don't think the answers you've given, past or present have credibility.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
I am certainly not denying anything. As it is quite clear from the picture you posted and what I said, that Andrognito doesn't make any data transfer over the INTERNET as for that it would need permissions it doesn't have. And obviously it would work if you block the permission. I don't need to explain you much as you know "what happens under the hood". :)

It was not that "I couldn't answer" and for the reason "I disappeared", I had some health problems for long time back then and after that I was busy working on some other important projects which I had to complete quickly and now I am back on Andrognito full time.

It needs the call permission for Invisible Mode. If you are not using the app, then obviously it cannot call and we haven't got any such reports from anyone else. Maybe you are facing any issue yourself and that cannot be taken as a general issue in any way. And the point that you are making is very very weird.

And see I am not willing to fight with any one for anything. If you are facing any problem or is not interested to use this app, then you are free to use other alternatives. Thank you. Have a great day! :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks for your suggestions again. You are really helping us a lot to improve this app further.

1) This shouldn't happen. Can you please test by closing the drawer and opening it again and by pressing the toggle icon. Actually it will refresh the active vault.

2) I mean, should the order of sorting be saved. We thought to implement it as a temporary sorting order. Do you want it to even persist after the app is closed?

3) Yes, it remembers the choice for sure. But we would be improving this part in the next update.

Yes this is a very nice suggestion I would say. I can assure you that we will put this feature very very soon. Thanks again, it would be awesome if you can take some time to rate this app in the Play Store. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
This is a good idea obviously. Okay won't it be better if we give a Settings option for users to check if they want to automatically open the last vault or provide a list of Vaults to choose from.

We are always looking for users like you to who can provide such useful suggestions to improve this app. Thanks again for supporting us by buying IAP.

Btw, we need some suggestions on the UI of the app? How are you liking the dark UI of the app? Do you want a Light UI too? Looking forward for some useful suggestions. :):)
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
Thanks alot again for listening to us, yes making an option to select vault to open at startup would be fantastic because everyone have different taste. Definately i have many suggestions about UI as well like

1. Theme per vault like dark / light background

2. Changing stauts bar, add button and header colors per vault, somthing like this

3. Auto hiding of Tag bar ( all files, images, video etc bar) to save some space on screen or swipe right / left or upper edge to show these or may be a drop down menu (same like swiping present vault list)

4. Sharing encrypted files and for viewing them and most important request is about decrypting files on it her platforms like windows ios and mac

Will think more about ui and will share my suggestions. Thanks again for considering our views

Hello again. :D

First of all, I rated your app in the Play Store. 5 Stars, 'cause it's quite perfect to me and you deserved it.

#1 I tried the toggle button thing and yea, if I close and reopen the drawer by pressing the toggle button,

the actual opend vault is highlighted. But it would be cool if it would switch directly while openen the selected vault.

#2 I'd prefer the sorting order to be saved, even if I close and reopen the app. Maybe you can implement an option where you can choose between different behaviours like fully saved or temporary saved...

#3 I noticed, that it might be a ROM related thing, that I have to choose the app I wanna use to view the files over and over again.

'cause there are some more apps, where it just won't be saved. And if I am the only one with that kind of problem,

it can't be your app that causes it.

The UI is pretty cool. I love the clean and minimalistic look. And i am totally into dark UIs,

so if you're planing to create a light version, please make it optional.
[Android Apps and Games] Sachitoge:
The app works good, however it eats internal storage when external storage is left with bunch of gigs, i tried by Mounting Internal Folder into External SD Card and binded external folder to Internal, it worked to encrypt but during decryption, ive lost all the files (luckily i got cloud backup). So, it was a surprise when i noticed it was really removed from my device. I checked everywhere and did deep scan, did some test files to see if i can find them but no, they got lost, so i want to be able to use external SD card (it's a major problem from my view). Look, i got 7.5gb on internal, all games are on external sd card (around 3gb) and i am happy, only app package are taking internal storage (which is fine since it's around 20 - 50mb) but putting my gallery pics in this (with 3mb/pic) is huge, we need a solution for this.

Btw, app no more crashed after that, app is stable so no problem :)

Another problem and suggestion is, video & image viewers such as third party apps (or built-in apps) are caching these files, which makes it no longer encrypted after it's cached. i find it a major problem to clean up cache manually, a in-app button to clear cache in one tap could really help it alot (in the sidebar to quickly access and click to it (it's better this way because it will clean all apps cache, for some users it's bad, for some, it's good, it saves both space but will remove cache, and users that don't want any particular app cache to not get removed wont like it, so making this a manually is better by placing in the app's sidebar a quick 1-tap button to clear cache (with a "warning" message about all apps cache being deleted). I also found out that making this automatically is good too, if app is inactive for more then 5min, it can clear it automatically (but it will consume ram, and may(be) cause instabilities, and has a risk if app crashes, it will trigger the timer to 0 and app will remain closed, which, makes the cache vulnerable, so making a 1-tap button in app is best solution i could so far find).

These are what i could find, if you would say to focus one thing, i would say the most important one is choice to use external SD Card storage, or Internal Storage (for apps such as Storage, Vault, etc). I heard about this SdCard problem in android 4.4 - 5.0 that doesn't let you use SdCard by third-party apps. Well, i found solution for that!

There is a app (and many other apps, but i know just this one) SdFix, which fixed the permission of the SdCard to be back usable by third party apps, so it shouldn't be problem, for ROOTED users only. in the app, you can add a warning text layer where it says that SD Card file storage requires on Android 4.4 - 5.x SDCard permission fixed with an app called "SDFix" for ROOTED Users (or any other app), to get it work, and that it's experimental, that it should be used at your own risk. This way, i believe it can be easily solved.

I hope you add these buddy. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot for such amazing suggestions again.

1) Theme per Vault is seriously an excellent suggestion. Never thought about it. We will start working on the Theme Manager exhaustively once some important features on queue are done.

2) Yes, this should be done I think. I am planning to auto hide this menu when the user scrolls up or down. Just the same behavior like the add button hides itself automatically. How about that?

3) Do you want to share the encrypted files to other platforms too or just Android? Any other use with the this app can decrypt the files then?

Btw, are you facing any specific problems which needs to be improved. Its better to improve the app and make it perfect before adding new features, isn't it?

It would be really awesome if you can rate us a 5 stars. It won't take more than a minute. Looking forward for your views. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
[MENTION=5308114]aritraroy[/MENTION] thanks a lot for your appriciation mate,

2. Yes that would also be great because it would iliminate extra steps to hide or show menu

3. Yes actually it would be alternative to truecrypt or boxcrypt to encrypt and decrypt on any device ( yes you are right after enhanching this apps functionality other platforms can be done later)

4. For problems in functionality, yes i have single problem. I am on deodexd rom but when i try to odex this app and run, app never loads vaults and stays on loading " retriving files from vaults" and never goes ahead.

Rating in google play store is done. Thanks again for considering my views

Glad that you liked this app so much. Thanks a lot for rating and appreciating it. You are awesome. :cowboy:

1) You are right, I will consider this as a minor bug and it will be fixed for sure, I promise.

2) This is actually a very nice idea. We will be doing this in the future updates. Thanks for it.

3) Actually, I haven't received this notice from anyone else, so I can't consider this as a problem of the app. But I am thinking to improve this feature also.

We are planning to implement a Theme Manager as suggested by [MENTION=3545435]ravian29[/MENTION] also. It would let you change the colors from Deep Purple to the color you love. It would also have an option to have different colors on different Vaults? How about that?

And btw, are you using the app on Lollipop? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Changes in version 2.0.11 (Mar 23, 2015)

• Bucket System added for Files, Images and Videos

• File decryption enhanced

• Sorting options and list states are now persistent

The app gets an awesome new update guys, but in terms of functionality and UI. Do check it soon guys and report any problems you find. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] d0pecr4wler:
Thanks for your kind words. :D

Awesome apps deserve a good rating. ;)

I'm totally okay w/ the currnt desogn, but a Theme Manger would be a very nice to have feature.

I'm still on KitKat (ArchiDroid v3.0.2), 'cause no LP-ROM fits my needs, yet. But I consider to switch to Archis LP-ROM.

Changes in version 2.0.12

• Minor bug while encrypting in pre-Lollipop devices have been fixed

Extremely sorry for a small bug that was causing a crash while encrypting on some pre-Lollipop devices. We have been very fast to solve it and have updated the app accordingly.

It would be really helpful if someone can test it on pre-Lollipop devices and confirm if the crash is not occurring anymore. :)
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
First of all, thank you so much for such an in-depth review on the app. Really loved it.

1) The Vaults are stored in the External Storage only, but in some devices the manufacturer never gives access to the removable storage which we mistakenly consider as External Storage. Now, files can not get lost if you use it normally. We haven't got any such reports where a file was lost in the process.

2) You are absolutely right on the idea that Vaults need to be stored in the Removable Storage. Some people have shortage of Internal storage and need the removable storage. Actually, Kitkat imposes this weird restriction of not allowing apps to write on the SD card. We are working on bringing a full fledged solution for all versions of Android to write perfectly on the SC card. We can assure that this will come up soon.

3) Another very important thing that you showed us. Yes, some apps do cache the files when opened and this can be good and bad at the same time. It can be bad as it compromises security but it can be good in the way that it can make it easy for the user to play/pause videos and do other work at the same time. I hope you understand.

4) If we need to clear the cache of all apps, then we need to take the permission for sure otherwise it would be a problem for some users. What do you think, will it be good if we put a option in the settings "Clear cache of all apps" and if this option is checked then we will clear the cache every time. How would that be?

Thanks for you support. It would be awesome if you can take some time to rate us in the Play Store. :)

[MENTION=5308114]aritraroy[/MENTION] mate today i was playing with encrypted files and i opened backed up setting and databases, i opened files in text editor but i am shocked to see it has encrypted files names with its path on sdcard for all the files and vaults. Another file have all the vaults info in it. Here is an screenshot how it looks

I am sure if i use database manager to check i can get a lot more information of data saved in vaults, for such a highly secure and encrypted application this is a loophole which anyone can use to get info about vaults and data inside. Can you please make it possible to auto encrypt these backup files as well?

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks again for your amazing support.

2. Yes, it will be up very soon.

3. This is an amazing idea I must say. But I will be doing it after I improve this app with more essential features and perfect it in every aspect.

4. I understand this problem. Can you please try to reproduce this problem in the latest version of the app? Do let me know if it persists, we will be improving it further. :)

Thanks again. Glad to have support from such a nice user like you. :o
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Thanks a lot. Glad to have such cooperative users. :)

We will be adding the Theme Manager soon, which will give immense control on the look & feel of the app. Do try it on Lollipop, it looks awesome with all animations working perfectly. I am sure you will find a good Lollipop ROM to suit your needs. :)

Btw, does the app run smoothly in your device and your current ROM? I mean, while navigating through it, encrypting & decrypting files, previewing files? I need some feedback so that I can optimize if further. :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
This is an intelligent find I must say. But I can assure you that this is not any kind of loophole in any way. We could have encrypted the databases as well but we didn't because the encrypted file names don't give anyway to decrypt the actual files.

It is virtually impossible to crack the application or decrypt the files without using the application. We can encrypt the databases too, but it can make it a bit slower? So what do you prefer personally? :cowboy:
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
Thanks a lot for your appreciation, in my opinion names does not matter because the purpose of this application is to encrypt sensitive data to restrict access so giving clue about the data will increase the risk of leaking ( at least idea about the nature of the data like inside vault is movies, pics or documents etc). I think encrypting database as well would be great :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Yes, that is something that I think too. Will be encrypting the databases soon.

Can you please check two things for me, I got some reports that they are not working?

1) Please check if you can sort items by date. I mean one user reported that the app is getting crashed when sorting by date, but unfortunately I can't reproduce this.

2) Some users have reported that TimelyPIN is not working for them? But it works perfectly for me, can you have a check on this and let me know?

3) Some users have reported that after turning on "Stealth Mode" they are unable to login to the app even by their original PIN. Please try this.

NOTE - I recommend to unhide the files and try these as in case while trying no. 3 if you are unable to login, then you may loose your files.

I also request other users [MENTION=4573103]d0pecr4wler[/MENTION] [MENTION=6165419]Sachitoge[/MENTION] [MENTION=5401012]Celestial Fury[/MENTION] and anyone else seeing this to try and help on on this if possible. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] ravian29:
sure, more than happy to help you here, i am also facing these problems but did not report them because i thought i am the one having them and will be fixed in new updates

1. arranging by date works for me but after closing the app or exiting the vault, sorting resets itself and every time i have to sort manually over and over. App does not crash for me and i am also unable to reproduce crash in this case.

2. I am having problem with time pin but in my case Its really very funny, time pin works other than 12 to 1 for both Am and Pm. When time is in between 12:00 to 1:00 (both am or pm) for this one hour i am unable to login using time pin lol other than this time pin works perfect for me. I found an workaround for this one hour that i reset my password every time in this hour to log in.

3. Fake account does not work, does not accept password for fake account but logging in with time pin works fine also changing vaults also works no problems here

If you need more help, i am more than happy to test, please let me know :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] d0pecr4wler:
Same here.

#1 Sort by date works. No crashes or force closses, but if you close the app or switch the vault,

the sorting resets itself. Sort by Name stays even after closing or switching the vault.

#2 Timely Pin works well for me, too. No problems.

#3 Stealth mode is activated and I can login normally. Only problem is the invisible mode. After the first login via dialer,

the app won't open if I try to »phone« my pin.

Lost Picture

Hi. Just started using the app, and it seems to have eaten a picture on me. I have one vault, with three pictures in it, and after restoring the app through Titanium Backup, one picture is gone. Before I switched roms, I both backed up in the app, and copied the folder to my sd card. But when I restore only two pictures show up. The folder still has all three files, and even your app says there are three files in my vault, but only shows to when I enter. Kind of a bummer. Do you have any ideas? Is three any safe way to carry vaults across devices or rom flashes?
[Android Apps and Games] Sachitoge:
I myself would say that during backup, make sure you choose safe and best backup on Titanium Backup Settings, i found out it has fast compression, bad, and secure/safe backup, so choose the safe one, or what you can do is, open File Manager, find the name "Andrognito2" or anything like that on your internal SD Card folder (where you see "Android, Downloads, Bluetooth" Folders) and backup that folder, it is the most important files, rest is not important cuz these files & folders have your data stored in it (encrypted ofcourse) so, back them up to External SD Card, and carry it. With Titanium backup, i would suggest you to backup application only (if app gets update, it may decrypt files incorrect, so take the safe way).

On new device, install Andrognito from a new device, and then dont open it, now copy the files you backed up to your External SD Card to Internal SD Card and replace anything in it, then open Andrognito, it will say you have backup file, would you like to restore etc, hit yes or anything similar to it, restore your files and login to ur vault, ur done, it should work problem-free.

Try this with sample files to experiment if you encounter with any data loss
[Android Apps and Games] SiNtEnEl:
Hello aritraroy,

Thank you for your great app. I wanted to give you some feedback on your app.

I have found a little annoyance in the first register and vault creation function, on CM12.1 its possible to put <enter> in the input fields.

To switch between those fields i have to escape the keyboard, maybe its nicer to use the <enter> to escape from the input boxes.

Thats it for now, thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Sorry guys, I was unable to respond to you all as I was out of station for more than a week to attend an important seminar. I have updated the app with some new features and lots and lots of bug fixes and enhancements to improve stability, usability and reliability.

Please update to this new version and let me know if you face any issue at all. Thank you so much. :)

Changes in version 2.0.13

[Android Apps and Games] aritraroy:
Hi, first of all I am sorry for getting so late. Actually I was out of station to attend an important seminar. Now I have updated the app with new features and all problems fixed.

1) I have fixed this problem when the sorting option gets reset when the app is closed. Now the sorting options will be saved for each and every single section like All files, Images, Videos, etc. Sorting options will be saved for all of the separately. Please check. :)

2) This was also a bug. Thanks for finding it out. We have fixed this one too. Please check if the problem have been resolved for you.

3) Can you try to reproduce the Fake Account problem again. We have make lots of improvements in this area and hope this problem would be solved. Please let me know if it persists.

Do let me know if any of the problem still persists for you or if you face any more problems. Thank you again for your support and cooperation. :)
