Should I still disable encryption on the stock kernel if I am gong to flash a custom kernel like elemental x anyways?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggiesmalls657:
No because it will do it for you anywat
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
a kernel doesn't do it for you, it ALLOWS you to do it yourself.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

to decrypt, you have to reformat your storage, which mean you have to move everything or lose it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitpierce:
The kernel is just force disabling encryption... keep in mind you have to FORMAT the userdata section on your internal storage... not just wipe it. You have to wipe Data, Dalvik, Cache and system aka everything but internal storage... then after thats done you have to FORMAT DATA to rid of the Encryption then make sure to flash the kernel that disables force encryption. Its just making it so it does not auto encrypt on startup but you still need to do the Format on top of the wiping to clear Encryption for good and yes make sure to do it because Snap 805 doesnt have decrypt on chip so youll see much better read write speeds from it so its worth the extra work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
As your attorney I recommend that you don't disable encryption. After my wife's phone was stolen I was very uncomfortable that the thieving scum could potentially see personal info on it, despite it being locked with both SIM & phone PINs (e.g. photos on the SDXC card). Encryption would have made her data safe.

I've run my Nexus 6 both unencrypted (9 months) and encrypted (6 months) and I see no difference whatsoever. None at all. The benchmarks that people waved around a year ago may well be accurate, and a write takes an extra 5 milliseconds. So what? In real life, no difference in performance or battery life, and peace of mind.

Edit: This looks like a deliberate disagreement with misfitpierce's "write speed" comment above. It isn't - I saw his/her final comment after I'd already submitted my post, but I'll leave my post as it is because I believe that it's correct. Benchmarks don't really reflect the user experience.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitpierce:
There is noticeable difference with encryption off on the nexus 6. the 6p encrypts and decrypts on the cpu in real time whereas a process is ran on the 32 bit snap 805. As for someone stealing your phone the encryption would only help them if they stole the phone and reflashed the rom to bypass the lock but left your stuff or tried to extract via pc and most of the time when someone steals a phone they are pretty dumb or are just attempting to flash if capable to erase everything asap so you cannot track or retrieve the phone. Paranoid to think otherwise tho it is possible. Personally thats a low risk tho and if someone wanted your info bad enough theyd get it regardless... I guess leave encrypted if you leave credit card info openly avail on your device etc but if your good about security the risk is minimum for the benefit on decryption. Just my 2 cents.

:The snag is that the Nexus 6 performs the file encryption/decryption on the CPU rather than dedicated hardware, which hurts performance and battery life"

Look that up anywhere! Thats a proven fact! Snapdragon 805 32 bit cpu was not properly set up to handle encryption without taxing the processor hardcore. I've noticed over 2 more hours SOT with encryption gone and over 30% read and write speed increase at times so... you choose what you wanna do,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
"over 30% read and write speed increase"

Would that be from 0.08 seconds to 0.05 seconds...? :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitpierce:
Nah thats MB/s writes that go from 6MB/s write/read to over 18 aka 30% increase or 3X more efficient. Your wrong, just deal with it and keep your encryption. Who cares what your want to do, you obviously seem to think that the nexus 6 aka the only phone handling encryption without a dedicated chip is not sacrafacing performance and is doing it by magic... I guess the phone farts out magic unicorns for you to.

[IMG="proof"]http://oi66.tinypic.com/1znld1s.jpg[/IMG]

Just look it up online and do research about how the newer snapdragons handle the encryption not seperately and have a dedicated chip to handling it which is not affecting performance or battery. You must not know a lot about technology so I apologize but I did try to explain in easy to understand terminology, errr I mean words...

Even the crappy Intel Z3580 in my Zenfone 2 handles encryption on its own side chip which does not affect read or write speeds and or the battery at all. Have a good day and I'm done cause from here you can research this stuff yourself. Not complicated.

And youll say this is a benchmark tho and those dont mean anything... thats arrogance... Benchmarks hold some value but this is not just a benchmark. This is seen day to day and does affect performance. Try it yourself and see.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
Just want to chime in and add my experience with encryption on or off.

I notice no drop in either performance or battery life. That's not saying there isn't a difference with encryption on or off (as already stated, there is a difference in read/write speed), but I'm just saying that for everyday use I see no difference.

(Going from 6 MB/s to 18 MB/s is not a 30% increase, rather 200%)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
I vote no. The performance change is minimal and only shows up on boot or copying large files.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
[MENTION=3659432]misfitpierce[/MENTION]

I'm on holiday and my N6 isn't great for writing long replies so I'll keep it short.

You seem to have ignored my earlier implied apology about the read/write speeds and continue to think that I have some sort of personal grudge against you. I haven't, but I really have to say that your ill-written and innumerate rant does you no favours.

I realised when I had posted my hundredth post and magically became a Senior Member that that status does not automatically confer knowledge on all of us. Most, certainly, but not all.

Please feel free to apologise and I shall accept it gracefully... :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misfitpierce:
Im sorry then bud but the way you implied its such a small change and its like your conveying false info to people. Its not just benchmark hoohaa junk. Im well aware that benchmarks typically dont mean much in terms of daily use but I do apologize if I've offended you [MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION] but its not as small a change as you stated.

The difference is there... its more of if people care enough to want to see it in day to day. It does improve battery because the CPU is being taxed much less but then again if you only answer a few texts daily and phone calls and dont transfer files or watch giant sized movies aka files or anything of that nature then you wont see much difference because the CPU isnt doing very much to begin with. If you download torrents and all that all day and do tons of stuff there is a noticeable difference. I guess it depends on how much you actually do on your phone daily.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Thanks. We can agree to differ. I don't say you're wrong, I say only that the benchmarks in real life use don't make as substantial a difference as you think.

And seriously, thanks for having the chutzpah to say "sorry". Even though I asked for it, pretty much tongue in cheek, it's good of you to recognise that both our opinions are valid.

The OP can no doubt make up his own mind based on all the comments above. Battery v security. I say security, but I get your point too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i have an encrypted n6, since nov 2014, and do not own any form of computer(so no transferring files), and im a very heavy user. the only differences that i can see only existed before 6.0, after 6.0 there arent any differences that any person can see(maybe there are, but they are not seen). read/write is a bit better when not encrypted, but since i dont own a computer, i dont see that. as i can see, performance isnt affected in one bit, as my encrypted n6 has crushed many unencrypted n6.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Hello Folks!

This is my first contribution to the G5 Forum

! ADOPTABLE STORAGE !

You can simply enable it on the build.prop. Search for:

ro.lge.adoptable_storage=false

And change it to:

ro.lge.adoptable_storage=true

Reboot Your G5 and go in-to the Settings

Choose Storage and USB

Click on Your SD Card

Format as Internal Storage

Follow the Instructions and You're done!

Simple, or not!? I found it while playing with the build.prop.

More is coming soon! Join my Community to stay Informed :)​

If anyone can push better/english Screenshots... Please provide it! Thanks!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] RealLordK1:
Are you guy serious ?

Enabling adoptable storage is that simple ?

I'll give it a try when back at home, but with only 32Gb of internal, that's a good news !
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zkyevolved:
This is the method with root I imagine... Also maybe update the first post to include a way without root? I saw some methods in other sites and posts. But not sure if it would work for the G5
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] _ray_:
This method does not require root :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zkyevolved:

The G5 is just awesome! We can have up to 2TB of Storage with this Trick... Which Phone has this ability too? :D

Can't wait to release my first work x)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Fredo2000:
But I have the Sprint version so no root...

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sierrawhiskey:
Really cool but doesnt seem to work with 64GB card.. At least mine is kinda crashing the phone when trying to use it as internal.. It jumps to 20% and then stays there for a while and then phone turns off and i have to remove battery... After reboot the card shows unusable... Have to go to recovery and fix it again to use it as external storage.. Any idea??? It's a sandisk 64GB
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Will take a deeper look. I'm using a Sandisk 32Gb SDHC Class 10... I've formatted it before enabling the line on the build.prop. Maybe that makes the difference... :confused:

EDIT: Doesn't matter what i do, i can't break it. Works just flawless here... Please try to Format Your SD using the LG Option in the Storage Settings. Reboot and try again. Maybe that helps You...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sierrawhiskey:

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:

You're right... Don't know what the Problem is. I think it's just a matter of time to get it work. I don't want to do any Experiments before we have access to a Stock Firmware Restore. Bricked my G5 3 times Now. I'm just happy that everything works again... Can't live without this Awesome Device x)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sierrawhiskey:
Cleanmaster i.e. doesnt recognize the correct size. It simply ignores the adopted size.

With sdcard used as portable it does show the correct size. Somewhere i read that adopting can actually make a phone slower because it doesnt use the internal fast storage anymore or maybe i misunderstood this...... Looks like this option might not coming that handy as generally thought.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] RealLordK1:
My computer doesn't show the sdcard volume when the phone is plugged.

I think this don't actually work. Just show it on phone screen, but that's all.

And the S7 methos seems to work (even without root) on the G5. I'll give it a try.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BR7fan:
I found a way to make it work without root and I have Sprint as well. Go to the bottom of this thread and there is a link to enable adoptable storage for non root users.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bentzile1:
So its official? We have adoptable storage? The s7 method or the modaco one?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cigman:
Bentzille1,

I'd say it's "unofficially official".

I have the Sprint variant (ls992). Went to worst buy and picked up a 64gb microsd for 20 bucks.

Utilized modaco's instructions to 60/40 the card (60% to adoptable, 40% as external SD card).

Worked flawlessly. No errors, etc.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bentzile1:
did you used the medaco method? or the s7 one?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cigman:
From my above reply:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bentzile1:
100% adoptable will make any prob?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cigman:
It shouldn't. I just liked the idea of creating a separate SD partition strictly to use for photos. So that's why I did the 60/40.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cympaulife:
For those that have followed modaco's instructions and tried

1|shell@h1:/ $ sm set-force-adoptable true
shell@h1:/ $ sm list-disks
disk:179,0
shell@h1:/ $ sm partition disk:179,0 mixed 50
shell@h1:/ $ sm set-force-adoptable false

but then ended up having the internal portion of the sd card corrupted then try this

1|shell@h1:/ $ sm list-volumes all
private mounted null
public:179,1 mounted B2B4-19F9
private:179,3 unmountable null

On my case the adoptable storage part of the partition that always shows corrupted is

private:179,3 unmountable null

While tinkering with the commands, I tried mounting the corrupted partition and then it got recognized and I am now able to transfer apps to the adoptable partition.

shell@h1:/ $ sm mount private:179,3

After mounting this is what I see using sm list-volumes

130|shell@h1:/ $ sm list-volumes all
emulated:179,3 unmounted null
private mounted null
public:179,1 mounted B2B4-19F9
private:179,3 mounted bd1434ae-95fc-43a5-83d0-2dd2cf171f79
emulated mounted null
shell@h1:/ $

The adoptable storage portion of the sd card now had some sort of label and when I checked my phone it no longer shows corrupted

private:179,3 mounted bd1434ae-95fc-43a5-83d0-2dd2cf171f79

To recap the commands I used was the following

1|shell@h1:/ $ sm set-force-adoptable true
shell@h1:/ $ sm list-disks
disk:179,0
shell@h1:/ $ sm partition disk:179,0 mixed 50
shell@h1:/ $ sm set-force-adoptable false
1|shell@h1:/ $ sm list-volumes all
private mounted null
public:179,1 mounted B2B4-19F9
private:179,3 unmountable null
shell@h1:/ $ sm mount private:179,3

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] copymaker:
OK, I came along that procedure and I can use sd card as internal storage (when I install app from play store it installs on sd card). I could move my apps (one by one) from internal storage to sd card. But I can't see sd card in any file manager (even when I plug it into my pc). What I found in the internet is that I haven't finished whole procedure and that's the reason.

The very last step is to click "migrate" to move any data from internal storage into adoptable sd card. But every time I do it it says "not enough space". Obviously there is a lot of free space on this card...

Any solution?

Hello,

i just unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and it all went fine..

until i wanted to fully wipe my device, i did this via twrp.

after 20Minuts, nothing happend, the bar was still white and gray (not even a little bit blue)

and it kept stuck on ''twrp formatting data using make_ext4fs function''.

i knew this wasn't a good idea, but i decided to turn off my phone,

and now, everytime when i turn it on on the normal way it just redirrects me to TeamWin in a bootloop.

even if i want to go to recovery mode i keep stuck in that bootloop, so there is nothing i can do right now, i only can stick at Fastboot Mode but nothing else,

Is there any way to fix this problem?
