Instead of writing that whole thing and asking whats "better" and what difference it makes... Why dont you just flash the caf version and see for yourself. It takes like 30min to set it up from a clean flash.

Here is a text i found googeling (took 15sec) "caf vs aosp":
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
Thanks for your opinion... I am not a lazy donkey and it is not difficult for me to change the firmware (if it needs to be done), I also know the differences between CAF and AOS. The vision of the author of the firmware is important to me. And also the future of each of them. I am not a supporter of jumping back and forth just to jump. Judging by what I saw in this topic, the future belongs to the CAF version, and the AOSP version should die over time. But, I repeat, I want to be sure of this.

Hi man, it's a nice rom and I'm really enjoying it on my poco f1 but the problem is I am having connection issues with my both sim cards I used to get perfect signals on miui but since I've installed this pixel experience rom I'm having issues with my sim card network connections, when it's on LTE internet works but low speed compare to miui and when it's on 3G (H+) it loses its internet connection and I have to put it on airplane mode then switch it back to normal to get LTE.. please fix this I'm on new update which you released yesterday on 26th of February 2019 thank you so much and WiFi works fine tho. Can someone help me?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] darkbasic4:
I just flashed a new vendor and after rebooting it started a 2 minutes process to encrypt my phone.

Why is it doing that? I already had PixelExperience ROM installed before and as far as I know it was already encrypted.

I noticed that some people flash something called "encryption disabler", what is it for?

In updated CAF version 25.2.2019, there are still bugs:

Camera jumps when rotating phone,

When deleting apps (not in this device) in google play, it closes down,

When enabling talkback and others in that menu, phone frezes sometimes and you have to manualy restart,

Camera dont save photos when taken from shortcut like double power button,

For second sim mobile data, you have manualy to make acess point.

Otherwise ROM is performing superb, great job developer!

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

The ROM doesn't encrypt.

The vendor/firmware does if not patched with dfe.

So presumably you installed the latest vendor/firmware but didn't flash dfe?

This is explained many many times already.

What's the big deal with entering a single pin at boot time?

So? You already said you flashed vendor/firmware without patching out with dfe so obviously it encrypted your phone. What did you expect and why do you keep posting basically the same info? If you want no encryption then clean flash and always flash dfe after flashing vendor/firmware.

Only wipe system,data, caches. Don't wipe internal storage and vendor.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] faeArai:
Well that's kind of strange: my device is encrypted, I've a pattern as protection and unfortunately don't have to enter anything on reboot or when starting into twrp. Don't have a clue why. I remember that twrp and android asked me to enter it one time but now it's gone.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] imPazhani:
For those who are all suffered with encryption problem, use this simple method

First of all backup all your data from your internal storage

1. Flash the latest MIUI ROM using Mi Flasher.

2. Boot to MIUI.

3. Reboot to fastboot mode.

4. Flash Vasishath TWRP Recovery

5. Boot to TWRP Recovery.

6. goto Wipe => Advanced Wipe => select Data, System, Internal storage.

7.

DO NOT FORMAT DATA

(formatting data will decrypt the data partition).

8. Now Flash latest Vendor and latest PE Build.

9. Flash Magisk if you want.

10. Reboot to system. it will boot without any issues and it will not encrypt again.

For performing OTA update after above steps

1.Disable ANX Camera Module in Magisk (it will cause bootloop problem)

2. Remove lock screen PIN, Pattern, Password change it to swipe or None. (Not necessary, but just a precaution)

3. Download using System Update or download via PE website.

4. Reboot back it will boot without any problem.

then enable the AnX Camera and setup lockscreen pin and fingerprint.

Note: 1. you can flash updated vendor file anytime without any problem.

2. you can see i haven't used DFE zip anywhere here..

Follow the step and enjoy using Pixel Experience

There's no "encryption problem" other than people doing stupid things.

And flashing stock MIUI won't relock the bootloader unless you leave that option checked in miflash.

People are making things unnecessarily complicated in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Because you didn't choose the option to protect the reboot when setting up the pattern.

Yeah sure I'm going to read 500 pages of thread... if this is so basic what about putting it in the OP instead? I had to scroll dozens of pages just to find the link to the vendor images.

I also tried to search it, but I didn't find any clear explanation. I *do* want FBE and AFAIK I already *had* FBE enabled, so why should it re-enable it? Isn't it supposed to enable it only if it has been previously disabled?

Small question

I'm currently on the Pixel Experience with vendor version of 9.1.17. The new update states that I need to be on 9.2.x or higher to be able to install. Is it possible for me to dirty flash the vendor and the updated ROM. Because I don't want to lose my data on the storage.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Why not?

90% is the posts are rubbish so it'll take an hour at most to read the rest.

It's not that hard.

Ask the dev, not me.

What the hell is FBE?!?

If you actually mean dfe then you have to flash that every time you flash vendor/firmware to patch it to prevent encryption.

Otherwise the new vendor/firmware will encrypt.

Simpler to just avoid dfe altogether and let the vendor/firmware encrypt in my opinion.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Yes.

If you previously flashed dfe after vendor/firmware to prevent encryption then you have to do it again after flashing new vendor/firmware.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] darkbasic4:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fbe+android

For the same reason you didn't Google something as basic as File Based Encryption.

As I said I *do* want to encrypt and I never used Magisk DFE. That means that my data should have been already encrypted, so it shouldn't trigger force-encryption during vendor updates. Is it possible that despite never using dfe for some reason my system wasn't actually encrypted? Or maybe updating the vendor triggers the force-encryption even if it's already encrypted?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] faeArai:
You're so right. I just removed protection to check it, and once I enabled it, android asked me if I want to protect the device on reboot. Well I just have overlooked that on the last installation. (facepalm)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
I don't know because I can't guess EXACTLY what you did up to that point. And you don't seem to know/remember. If you want my advice then just do a clean flash and avoid dfe. I have never seen vendor/firmware encrypt when the phone is already encrypted.

The white on my screen is looking amberish on PE CAF so i thought it was the vendor again since the color shift happens on boot and i even filmed it.

Does anyone have this happening? where whites are yellowy even with night light off???

SO i tried to change vendor, i unistalled magisk, removed fingerprint and took nandroid backup.

AGAIN I tried dirty flashing(wipe cache and delvik) vendor(9.2.18) and AGAIN it resulted in infinite G boot page.

This is nuts i cant change vendor on CAF without having to a clean flash!!

edit: i mentioned it but it seems it didnt work.
