It looks perfect. Smooth AF

OK guys Just flashed. Bootloader is unlocked. I want encryption disabled. So these shall be steps or if any one can correct me.

1. Wait for Modified Boot.img with force encryption disabled

2. Flash Modified Boot.img

3. Flash TWRP

4. Format user data

5. Flash SuperSU.

6. Profit
[Nexus 5X General] shaqshaq:
Hope someone will post the modified boot.img of np5
[Nexus 5X General] Mistic92:

[Nexus 5X General] Character Zero:
Tried getting in the beta over the last week and never got an OTA. today I just flashed the system image and reenrolled in the beta hoping to get the Final official release. I guess worst case I will just flash factory images again.

[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
did you long press the kog to get into the "whatever is called" mode? :P

it should be there as extra tile that you can add into your menu
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
Yes. Fastboot flash the boot, system and vendor images, then flash FedPatcher / something similar to get rid of force encrypt

No need to wait for modified boot image, just flash FedPatcher in TWRP

Just flash FedPatcher
[Nexus 5X General] shaqshaq:
It doesnt allow me to, bwt I came from a clean wipe, installed twrp, sideloaded cf autoroot.

TWRP is asking me the password to decrypt
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
Yes because your data is encrypted. If you are already backed up, you can just hit enter to go into twrp and format daya to decrypt.

Already backed up meaning, full internal storage backup.
[Nexus 5X General] shaqshaq:
I did that, but when I rebooted to twrp, its asking me to enter the password again right after formatting the data.
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
I am assuming you want to be decrypted.

Flash stock recovery

do a factory reset

Power off phone

Boot to to bootloader using power and volume buttons

flash twrp

go to recovery

Flash fed patcher

Flash SuperSU
[Nexus 5X General] shaqshaq:
I dont know if theres a problem with twrp that im using, like what Ive said I already did those, but upon entering twrp it keeps on asking me the password. It could be a modified twrp or boot image that might help.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
Option #1. Run the following fastboot command then boot into TWRP. This will erase everything form your phone and it also removes encryption. Factory reset does not do this.

Fastboot format userdata

Then boot into TWRP and flash root, modified boot, or custom kernel to stay decrypted.

Option #2

Follow these steps but download the 5X factory image, as this is a 6P thread:

Flash TWRP

Flash vendor.img from MM

Flash SU

Right?
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
Flash OTA with Flashfire and add the root re-insertion is easiest. Then do what you like with TWRP.

You only do this if you are encrypted on Nougat developer preview since TWRP isn't yet fully compatible. But yes, that is one way to get root.

Android N made the 5x the phone it was supposed to be. Truly impressed with this iteration of Android. 5.0 and 6.0 were so underwhelming.
[Nexus 5X General] haki.gr:
It's beyond my comprehension that the majority of the posts are revolving around the subject of (the probably redundant on a Nexus) rooting, than on reports on how this (close to final) release behaves!:(
[Nexus 5X General] Yoshileon:
HOW DO I DECRYPT?

I mean, really.

I've tried multiple approaches, my latest (which still not works):

-unlocked bootloader of course, DP5

1. format cache

2. format userdata

3. reboot bootloader

4. flash twrp

5. reboot bootloader

6. boot recovery

7. allow modifications

8. install FedPatcher v8 via TWRP 3.0.2.0

9. format userdata

10. format cache

11. format my ass

12. boot, set up phone, then BAM, ENCRYPTED.

Is there a guide that actually works? To my best knowledge, this should definitely work! What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 5X General] vocoderism:
Go in fastboot and run fastboot format userdata then retry to set-up phone

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5X utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] Yoshileon:
Thank you for trying to help, but I've done that literally 10 times now, always with little changes.

But I'm doing it again just for fun now.

...yep, still encrypted.

Does FED-Patcher v8 works at all with DP5?

Do I need root too?
[Nexus 5X General] Mistic92:
Weird bug ;) Doubled icons

[Nexus 5X General] tacofromhell:
Flash modified boot image then format userdata
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
Hope I'm not muddying the waters but.... doesn't it require a modified kernel to remain un-encrypted? I thought the stock kernel forces encryption when the phone boots after re-formatting. Can't help further as I have never felt the need to un-encrypt so I have never actually tried it.

Paul
[Nexus 5X General] Yoshileon:
I couldn't find any modified DP5 boot image. That's what FED-Patcher should do anyways.

Almost everybody who have tried confirmed that everything is clearly faster without encryption. I've owned a nexus 5 before 5x, and was pretty disappointed by the 5x performance, as it feels slower, this is why I want to try decrypting so badly.

FED-Patcher should modify the stock kernel to remain un-encrypted.

It stands for ForceEncrypt Disable Patcher

So I've managed to finally do it.

Firstly, I believe FED-Patcher v8 doesn't work with DP5's boot.img.

Secondly, maybe because rooting is default for most, everybody forgets to mention (or doesn't even know, but helps with wrong steps to decrypt anyway) that yes, flashing supersu disables force encryption.

I was previously on DP4. I am blown away by how smooth everything (finally) is on DP5. I was getting major hang ups before, especially when using snapchat. The system UI would sometimes freeze for 30s at a time. I didn't even do a clean flash (didn't wipe user data).

since this thread got lots of attentions. I may put my question and experience here.

Got DP5 installed and rooted (NOT systelessRoot). Android pay seems OK with add CC. Haven't had a chance to try it out at a terminal.

You guys same thoughts?
[Nexus 5X General] ohad88:
Is it just me or camera app is now missing manual exposure?
[Nexus 5X General] Buddlespit:
Anecdotal. I have yet to see any data that shows that the 5x is faster decrypted, other than boot up speeds.
[Nexus 5X General] Yoshileon:
Other than boot up speeds? If it improves boot up speed, it should obviously improve app boot up speed, which is kind of the benchmark for OS performance.

I've found two benchmarks, but they show pretty different results.

This reddit thread shows 10% increase in random read/write performance on 6P.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3qlz69/encrypted_vs_decrypted_benchmarks

Anandtech only tested sequential read/write, but it shows very different results.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9820/the-google-nexus-6p-review/2

6P and 5X both have software encryption boosted with ARMv8's cryptography instructions, with the 6P having a better SoC, so there IS some difference, as data shows.

EDIT: Also I've been pretty disappointed in 5X's performance lately (very heavy thermal throttling while playing pokémon go, and slow camera), so even the placebo effect worth it to me :)
[Nexus 5X General] Shyciii:
It's old benchmarks, so it's not real. Since they released the MTC19V version, there is no difference (very minimal: 0,2-0,5sec) between encrypted and decrypted version
[Nexus 5X General] Yoshileon:
You know what? I'll try to do a benchmark and record it next week.

I'm thinking

sequential read

sequential write

random read

random write

system boot (don't care personally, but maybe some people do)

app boot

camera

What else should I test?

EDIT: I've changed my mind after finding this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/unencrypted-faster-real-world-usage-t3365660
[Nexus 5X General] Shyciii:
Nothing other. Somebody test it, and the results was 0,2-05sec average different.
[Nexus 5X General] LazyG:
Does anyone see strange behavior with a battery discharge on DP5? The report show it is being discharged with a stable speed, no matter what I'm really doing - browse inet or phone just lying in the pocket. Full discharge time is bout 12h, top consumers - chrome, screen and android os (2 entries) 4-5% each.
[Nexus 5X General] mikarbach:

[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
And placebo it is. Pokemon is not meant for this device, not enough ram. You should get something else for your child's play. Your post is meaningless.
[Nexus 5X General] UsualSuspectReaL:
It's working but you can't test the leds. My friend send me a message (From fb messenger) and the light was ok..
[Nexus 5X General] Yoshileon:
While I knew unencryption wouldn't increase pokemon go's performance, it was just the slow performance of this game that led me to try to do something about the overall low performance of the phone.

Also, Mr. Responsible Adult, would you please explain to me what the 2GB ram has to do with thermal throttling? It's perfectly smooth until thermal throttling kicks in. 2GB memory meets the requirements of this game.
[Nexus 5X General] pbailey212:
I agree, the ram has not been an issue for me at all. This phones performance problems mainly come from the thermal throttling. I went pure stock and raised the thermal values and it ran as good if not better than any custom ROM/kernel without thermal tweaks. I played with Pokemon Go, for a while, it didn't have any problems on the higher values. Dp5 so far has ran really well with little to no lag, way better than dp4. It's been less than 24 hours since I took the OTA. But it seems promising
[Nexus 5X General] jdawg0024:
Emailed the Dev and he said he was aware of the issue. Said it will be fixed on the next update of Light Manager
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Ha, yeah that's me. Don't dare take away my Angry Birds though. I heard that 3 gb is really optimal for PM Go. I would imagine that the constant swapping and taxing of the memory space would kick up the temps on the device so much so that it would become unusable, although it could be the processor as well. Your real world usage and throttling bears that out. Minimum specs are not optimal specs and thus you might want to use a different device to play. It just doesn't seem worth it to blow up the phone for this game. I also don't believe that the game is a true indication of the value and performance of the device under normal circumstances, thus my criticism of your post. And this being a dev preview thread it seems inappropriate here since it has nothing to do with dp5.

Hello all. Can anyone give their experience on Wifi performance on N preview ? My nexus 5x is sporadic in terms of wifi performance.

Sometimes it maxes out the internet speed, while sometimes it is just a fraction of actual speed. I did everything I could, reset phone,

reset modem etc. Also the slow wifi is also observed when I use ShareIT app. That app uses wifi to share files quickly. While my old phones

communicate at full speed, nexus 5x is slow mostly. Occasionally works perfectly. Anyone who is running N preview, please try ShareIt app and

report. Thanks in advance. :)

Facebook and Facebook Messenger works fine here. For those who want to install it via OTA, its good to be a daily driver but I do not recommend. The phone lags a bit if there is much apps open, the keyboard sometimes lags when typing, sharing screenshots is impossible (idk why) and bank apps may not work, battery no more than 3h30 of SOT here. If those things are not a problem for you then just install it.
