[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] P_6:
Thanks for your response to this... I'm at Step 3, and using TWRP (Tried both 2.8 and 3.0) to flash CF 1.2.8. However, it will not successfully decrypt, regardless of what password I provide it (have tried complex & simple passwords, and the defaults listed out there, etc)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
That's weird. The password should be the same as your lockscreen password. If you used a pattern lock, each dot on the pattern corresponds to a number, although I'm not sure which dot is which number. If your lockscreen password doesn't work, something went wrong and you'll probably have to wipe your phone to fix it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] P_6:
That's what I figured. From what I've been reading, it should work just fine. I used an alphanumeric password to secure the phone, could that be part of the issue?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
I doubt it. I used Cerberus to remotely change my pin to an alphanumeric password and then I forgot about it. When I rebooted the phone, I had to enter that password to decrypt the phone. It worked fine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] P_6:
So, using a simple 4 digit pin, I got TWRP to decrypt data. I installed CF 1.2.8 and changed my password to something more secure. I rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop. I've tried just about everything since, multiple wipes, reinstalls via TWRP, no dice. The encryption is still intact, but I can't get CF to boot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Weird. You might have to start all over again by going back to stock, and this time either keep the pin or just not deal with encryption.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] drtweak:
I triend encrypting a while back. Was on CF's ROM as well. Not sure what version.

I set a Pin code. Enabled encryption. You have to put in your pin code to even enable the encryption. Then after it restarted My code wouldn't work. Could reset it at all. Got to 9 of 10 trieds before wipe (Didn't really care about that i have TB backing up to my Google drive every night) but it was 2 in the morning and didn't want to do that. Luckly thanks to TWRP i booted into that, found the 3 files for the pin code, deleted them, and i was in my phone.

So becareful. People who know what they are doing and find out we have TWRP can get into the phone without issues....

I haven't gone back yet even though I would like to only because i have a lot of personal and work sensitive information on my phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Where were these files that you mentioned? I feel like if all it took to completely disable encryption was to delete a few files, then your phone was never properly encrypted in the first place. The fact that you could get TWRP to boot at all without the password points to this as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] drtweak:
Yea after reading that their should be a password on boot tells me it wasn't done right but it still wanted to wipe my data.

For Pattern delete this file

/data/system/gesture.key

Then for Pin it was Data/System and then Locksettings.DB "".db-wal "".db-wal-shm

Once i delete those 3 files bam i was back in. I thought to myself. Well WTF is encryption good for then? So IDK if I am doing it right or not. The day TWRP can allow passwords and other stuff and giving us the ability to turn off things like FastBoot if we wanted to (even though that can be a huge risk if you brick your phone) but just to lock it down i guess.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
When your phone is properly encrypted, TWRP asks for the password before doing anything. It has to, otherwise it wouldn't be able to do any of the things that TWRP does. Fastboot isn't a security risk because the only thing you can do with it is flash new images on to the phone (which would either make your data permanently encrypted or overwrite your data completely, depending on which partition was flashed). Fastboot can't extract data I don't think, and even if it could, it would only be able to extract your encrypted data, which is no good to anyone without the password.

I don't know how I got so lucky when I encrypted mine. All I did was flash completely back to stock, encrypt with a PIN, waited for it to boot back to the OS, booted into TWRP and flashed CF.

Now that I think about it, I may have disabled my lock screen before my first boot into TWRP. I remember thinking "WTF, what is this good for" until I realized that without my lockscreen enabled, the decryption key reverted to the default password and therefore didn't need me to enter mine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] drtweak:
Yea when i first set it up it like restarted as if nothing happened. I had no lock screen. Was expecting it to ask for a pin just for the encryption (similar to if you use either 3rd part or built in encryption on SED drives and windows password is seperate) but nope. Then it wouldnt let me in. Got into twrp and then erased those files and got back in. Ill have to revisit this in the future. Once 6.0 is out ill do another clean wipe.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Okay, I recently wiped and re-encrypted my phone. This is what I did exactly:

1. Made a TWRP backup of the setup that I wanted.

2. Transferred that backup to my PC.

3. Followed section 0 here to go back to 100% stock, but I did not boot the phone immediately. I stayed in bootloader mode after the script completed: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

4. Flashed TWRP and my custom boot logo

5. Booted into TWRP.

6. Booted normally.

7. Went through the initial setup and did not set up a lockscreen.

8. Encrypted through security settings, which surprisingly did not ask me to provide a password or anything like that.

9. Changed my lock screen to a PIN.

10. Rebooted the phone.

11. Rebooted into TWRP (which asked me for my PIN, indicating a successful encryption).

12. Transferred my backup back to the phone and restored it.

All good. I have everything I want + encryption.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mrkhigh:
Stupid question.

Why encrypt?

I think for most thieves a four digit pin would be plenty. People who refuse honest work are often very lazy.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] richii0207:
This, and also I would like to add that encryption hurts performance, with the exception of Motorola's encryption.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
True. In 99.9% of cases, a PIN is enough. However, if you have TWRP without encryption, anyone can boot into recovery and copy over whatever they want. Most thieves have no idea what TWRP, or even recovery mode, is though. I encrypted mostly because I was bored, and because I don't want the police to be able to search my phone without a warrant. A password is generally enough for this too, but if they take it back to the station and find someone tech savvy enough to use TWRP, they can legally get in without your consent.

Now, I certainly don't plan on committing any crimes anytime soon, but if I get on a cop's bad side (if I, for example, was filming him doing something illegal) and he decides that he wants to screw me, I want to have everything in order. I've got the Bambuser app at the ready so that it automatically uploads anything I record to the cloud, so that at the very least I can force the state to reimburse me if a cop decides that destroying my property is a good idea. I was in Baltimore briefly on the night of the Freddie Gray protests and although I got out before anything major happened, I was glad that I was prepared.

So in short, if you're really paranoid, encryption is a good idea. Other than a short pause that occurs when I unlock my lock screen, and boot-up time taking significantly longer, I haven't noticed any performance hits.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] BEDickey:
Thanks to The St33v, his path does allow encryption on custom ROMs. However this has opened a new issue. I will start a new post about it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] drtweak:
Ah yay! I must try this tonight. Also agreed with twrp, like i said in a previous post, you can JUST DELETE the files that manage swipe pin password and done. They reboot and in with no trouble. I wasn't sure if the encryption locked recovery as well. Glad to know it does!!!!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] drtweak:
Ok so attempted to try this.

1) The link to the stock rom doesn't work

2) I tired to use the Flashable stock rom that is posted in here somewhere that I downloaded a while back. Went to encrypt and same thing. It shuts off, shows the android icon for a sec reboots and nada.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlane86:
I watched a YouTube video review of a rom to flash, and the guy mentioned he had a 2 core kernel...

Is there an advantage other that maybe battery consumption as to why you would use a 2 core kernel vice the stock quad core?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StykerB:
not really pretty much the only thing you could expect is worse or same ui performance and the battery savings end up being less than the 50% you'd expect from nixing half your cores. Which is the reason Google decided to just turn all 4 cores on all the time rather than plugging and unplugging them as needed. Minimal battery savings wasn't worth the sluggish ui.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
You may not get any battery savings, depending on usage. If you have fewer cores to process tasks, that means that the two that are there would have a higher percentage of run time in a higher power state. If they stay in the high power state longer, you'd end up using more battery rather than less. Using all of the cores allows the system to get to the idle/low power state faster.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Also i believe with all 4 cores running continuously, sharing the work load, it produces less heat as opposed to having only 2 cores running mostly at a higher state which would keep the phone warm most of the time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlane86:
Well I was just curious. It was a video review of pure nexus and he briefly mentioned that he had the dual core kernel flashed but he didn't elaborate, so I figured I'd ask.

I am running 5.1 release from android-x86 on my tablet and the touch isn't working, when I try to run the same build on my notion ink cain tablet, it works perfectly.

So I checked device manager on both the tablets for touchscreen and found out that both touch screen are same.

Also on my notion ink cain tablet touch works only when the type cover is unplugged, when i boot to android with the keypad plugged then the touch doesn't work. Have to restart it with the keypad unplugged to get it working again.

So I kinda concluded that it might be a problem with my tablet not detecting the driver properly even though its already there but I'm not sure. Please help me out somebody,

I wanna know if there's a way I can test which driver file is running on my cain tablet which makes the touch work there and also is there a method that I can use to install/run the driver manually and make the touch work.

Thank you..
