Hi all,
I recently purchased a Quantum7+ tablet (my first!) and wanted to try out encryption, but am unable to find the Personal ->
Security -> Encryption option mentioned in guides on the internet. The
Security settings page has only "Screen Security", "Passwords", "Device
Administration" and "Credential Storage" headings.
I've made Screen Lock password-protected and the device is plugged into the
mains and fully charged. I've rebooted since adding the Screen Lock password but to no avail. Any idea what might be wrong?
The Android version is 4.1.1. and am using the stock firmware version:
([email protected])_([email protected])_N2.59_V411.01_TL12
Does anyone have any idea why this could be, or whether the "Encryption" settings might be hidden away elsewhere?
Many thanks!
Hmmm ... just got a reply from Tabtronics tech support confirming that Encryption is not available on this tablet, which is a bit confusing to me - isn't encryption all done in software on Android?
Moto E LTE stuck in "just a sec" screen of "SetupWizardTestActivity"
Moto E LTE stuck in "just a sec" screen of "SetupWizardTestActivity" :crying:
1) Any suggestion on how to cancel/escape this "first time init" application so that i can reach the settings and give the required permission to this app.
2) If above not possible then any other suggestion to get back phone in working condition without factory reset/wipe from recovery.
*Apps are still working in background , i am getting notification sound and pushbullet notification on desktop
*tried the cache cleaning from recovery. it took quite some time but after reboot also the stuck in same situation
*Completely stock phone. bootloader unlock and root not done. since bootloader unlock wipes the device i do not want to do it at the moment.
*I have installed moto usb drivers and SDK to execute adb but phone is not visible with 'adb devices' command.
* apps are excuting in background since i am getting pushbullet update of phone notifications on desktop browser but the first time setup app has captured the screen and does not alow any other activity from touchscreen.
* for some reason the Paytm app also runs at startup and runs on top of "SetupWizardTestActivity" app but only thing i can do is back soft button till it exits. cant open notification
Context and back story
I triggered the "home button not working, empty notification" of lollipop/marshmallow as detailed in the following post on my Moto E 2015 LTE surnia by trying to manage space by using the migrate data option in storage. it tried to perform migrate in opposite direction i.e. from sdcard to internal and ran out of space mid operation probably.

Nova launcher workaround if abd not available . 3rd last post at the bottom.

After this the behavior was as specified in above issue posting. home button not working (i could reach home screen by using back key till all open application as closed.), empty notification drawer, not able to reach the quick shortcuts in notification area etc.
So I tried thought some space issue
A) so i installed a few apps and cleared data of chrome, play books etc. to free up 500mb.
still same home button issue
B) then i thought it is some notification permission issue and checked various options in notification option in setting.
still no change
C) then i thought some other permission issue. So in the apps option in setting i reset the apps permission to factory. (dont remember exact menu option but it was in the 3 dots option on top right in apps setting). it gave a warning that all permissions will be reset to factory for apps
after this all apps lost all permissions and everything was asking permission when app was started. e.g. data manager app wanted permission to access data, sms app wanted sms access and so on.
**This will be one main reason for my issue at the end.**
After that I searched the issue and found above link.
so i tried the guest user login and cancel from that and the notification drawer got recovered. it was showing app notifications for whatsapp, SMS etc.
but home soft button was still *not* working
Since i haven't done any bootloader unlock and root operation on this phone i was not confident of the adb command success since it mentioned in one post that it required 'su'
So i tried Nova launcher workaround to invoke 'SetupWizardTestActivity' and it did execute asking me for
Now the initial factory inti app is running and stuck in following loop
language->sim select-> wifi login-> \
/-----------------------------------|
->privacy option->|software update check->-\
|------------------------------------------|
|-> account added -> "just a sec" ---------^
it hangs and crashes at the saving "just a sec" screen and goes back to "Account added" screen
This is due to the permission issue i created in step "C" of permission reset explained above.

Please if someone can help with ideas and suggestions to kill the fitst time installation app. :fingers-crossed:
NOTE. im new to Moto E but have been playing around with my older phones samsung s2, lg g2 and changing roms and trying out various options like CM, AOKP res remix etc.
any ideas on how to unset the flag that causes this first time installation screen to run at bootup
so apparently the bootloader unlock requires us to have a "" toggle set from devleoper option.
but we dont have a phone booting into a state that allows this toggle to be selected then we cant unlock bootloader as well.
fastboot oem unlock XXXX
...
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.011s
as explained in http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/0...nable-oem-unlock-option-in-developer-options/
and http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/warning-locking-bootloader-disabling-t2951312
So if someone has an idea on how to cancel the flag i somehow enabled by executing 'SetupWizardTestActivity' from nova launcher wizard.
The wizard cant complete because it doesn't have permission and i cant give permission as it is not allowing me to enter into the phone setting.
Did you ever find a way aroudn this issue? I've just run into it too..

Probably because Cyanogen has shut down Cyanogen os
I have the same problem. No idea how to fix this.

Hello,
This will not get you an account but if the app doesn't let you in, this is a workaround to use it without logging in:
Go into the settings > Lock screen > Lock Screen Mods > 'the little setting icon next to the Static wallpaper'
and you should be in the themes app now.

Here is an easy step by step tutorial:
1. Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
2. Open it, you should be in the activities tab (if not navigate to it)
3. In the text field "Input keyword to filter" type "Theme Chooser"
4. Expand the hopefully one search result and click on the first one
5. Check if it works by clicking on try then click create to add it to your homescreen
I also included a screenshot in my post.
Hope it helps.
P. S. : This is a forum specifically for the Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus.
Hi everyone,
A month ago, I encrypted my phone (Galaxy S5 Plus - kccat6) currently under LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0) and TWRP 3.2.3-0.
Normally, after the encryption, when I started my phone, I would get a password request to decrypt my phone before launching Android. Access to TWRP was also password protected.
However, for a week now, for no apparent reason, I no longer have any password requests at startup and TWRP no longer asks for a password either.
In the "Security and Confidentiality" section, under "Encryption and identifiers", the phone is always indicated as encrypted... so it's impossible to request the encryption of my data again. At the same time, when I use Trust (integrated with LineageOS), it says "Encryption : Disabled".
I don't understand it. I did nothing in particular to have the encryption deleted.
Do you have any idea what to do to recover the encryption on my phone? And eventually why I may have lost the encryption?
Thank you in advance
OK I found a solution. It seems that it's a bug well known since many versions of Android. Strange that it has not been corrected...
Here's what helped me to fix the problem (found here : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37010136 )
How to reproduce:
1. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Switch Access
2. Enable Switch Access service
3. Go to Security -> Screen lock
4. Incorrect warning text appears under Pattern, PIN, and Password options
How to fix
1. Go to Security -> Screen lock
2. Select one of Pattern, PIN, and Password options
3. Select "Require pattern to start device" on the next UI
4. Finish setup
5. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Switch Access
6. Enable Switch Access service
7. Incorrect text ("If you turn on Switch Access, your device won't use your screen lock to enhance data encryption") on the prompt. It's incorrect and misleading because "Require pattern to start device" is already set and screen lock will apear on start up.

Hello guy`s
i`m searching since days for a solution for my Android car system.
It has Android 8.1.0 installed, i can access the filesystem via adb root, the system itself is not rooted.
I have two issues with the device.
since a factory reset, when booting the system it does start into the "normal" slide to unlock screen, before the reset it booted directly into the Car GUI.
I searched also for disabling this, but only found how to reset or delete the passwords, and disable it on old Android 2.3 4.0 or 5, but not on Android 8.
it would now be easy said to just disable it at the system security settings under Display lock, but here is the second issue, the option seems to have been disabled by the manufacturor.
the same is with some other Option menu`s that are missing at settings.
i`m not that firm with android os itself, so i can`t finde the right command or modification to change this.
can someone help me how to disable slide to unlock, and how to reactivate deactivated system settings ?
sincerely Chri
