Hi,
Is there any way to enable Face unlock with the device encrypted?
While the stock rom is forcing you to have the same pin/password for encryption and lock screen (pretty stupid but anyway), with vdc (or even in the settings app for omnirom) you can use a different password for encryption.
Thank you.

From the online articles and the encryption description i was left with the impression that i will need to enter the password only on boot.
Well appears that once encrypted the only active unlock options become, face unlock, pin and password.
All take too long for my daily use, and since you don't have to use the encryption password for unlocking (the phone is decrypted on boot) but other options like face unlock, why we can't unlock with the normal slider screen or at least pattern unlock?
Is there a way to go around it and enable the slider unlock on an encrypted phone?
p.s.
i know that decreases the security, but knowing that if i lose my phone, chances are the battery will die before someone digs into it, and they will need to decrypt it then.... is enough for my needs.
what version of the os is it? and yes you can change it. you have to go into settings >>security>> and should give you the option to change it. you just have to disable encryption. worst comes to worst...FACTORY RESET
the idea is to change it and still be encrypted...
it's 4.1.1
I guess encryption is not that popular among android users?
Anyone using device encryption with Samsung Galaxy Alpha and Android 5.0.2? Are you still able to use fingerprint to unlock lockscreen and can you still use the lockscreen shortcuts (e.g. to quickstart the camera) if device encryption is enabled ?
Hi there..
I'm trying ti understand device encryption before i install a custom ROM on my poco. (Any links explaining how encryption works on android would be greatly appreciated)
My first question is whether the pocophone encryption is turned on by default.
Under the encryption settings, the "encrypt device using lock screen password" slider is set to off.
However, every time I reboot the phone, i am forced to enter the lock screen password as fingerprint and facial recognition do not work. I assumed that this is because encryption had been enabled on my phone by default. But then why is the slider set to off?

The option that you are talking about under encryption settings, is the same as "Android secure start up" on AOSP. If you enable this option, you need to enter your device password while you restart the phone. Or else your device won't even boot up (and you won't see the lockscreen) completely and you will be stuck. It's an extra layer of security on top of lockscreen password/pattern/pin. Now coming to your second question, it's a security feature on android where no other unlock methods will work except PIN/Password/Pattern after you restart the device everytime. And it has nothing to do with encryption or decryption. Even if you decrypt the ROM, you will still have to enter your password or pin or pattern on every reboot. Only then all other unlock methods will start working. Some ROMs have a feature where you can bypass this security and unlock the device straight away on every reboot without entering the default pin or password/pattern. But they also put a disclaimer that it's not safe.
Thanks for the info.. But one of the questions "Is the Pocophone F1" encrypted by default?" is not yet answered. I am very interested to know. And (while I am asking) if not, "How can I do encrypt it"?
Yes, it is encrypted by default.
Hi,first things first,sorry for my english
I have a question about secure start-up screen.My device is encrypted and i'm unlocking it/booting with a pattern.Question is,is there ANY possibility to totally disable keyboard (unlock by pin option,emergency call) and make ONLY "pattern entering area" visible? Its Miui Global 12.0.3 Device rooted of course
I have a few questions about being secure and things with the bootloader, and stuff like that.
#1: Is there anyway to be secure or thiefproof or even law enforcement proof with an unlocked bootloader?
#2: How does encryption work on Android. It Full disk encryption forced on by default, because I don't see the option anymore (except for SD card) How does it work? Does it encrypt the device till turned on? Till lock code in entered? Is it only there when there's a lock code? Does it work like Bitlocker?
#3: I wanna unlock my bootloader and install Lineage or Graphene OS. Since I can't relock the bootloader with custom rom or recovery (considering I have AT&T LG G8 THINQ and Xperia 5 II) can't anyone just flash TWRP or something, and even if the data's encrypted, just delete the security settings to bypass the lockscreen as shown in MANY tutorials and get to all my sensitive info and functions that way?
