Hello @remi-e,
I also encountered this problem when trying to encrypt my phone. I suppose other building sources would have to be used in order to make it work, or maybe it is not possible at all for this model, I do not have the proper knowledge to answer you. I want to point out that encrypting on Oreo also resulted in a bootloop.
My advice is not to leave any data that you would not want accessed should your device be stolen. @itsclarence tried various build sources before succeeding with this Q build. He invested quite a bit of time to bring it to fruition, and for that we can be really thankful.
Of course, it is not 100% perfect, but nevertheless better than Nougat. Maybe one day those problems will be solved, we’ll see.
So far, what could be improved:
- SELinux status is not enforcing, which is a security liability
- encryption causes a bootloop
- the build is signed with public keys
- an echo during phone call (only on my device and another S6 user apparently, which I was able to fix)
-
@jpirie mentions a very loud call volume on his device. Maybe tweaking the
mixer_paths_0.xmlfile as mentionned in the post I linked could be a way to solve this. What is left to do is finding which line of code in this file should be edited to solve this volume issue. The echo fix also had the effect of lowering the call volume for me, but I do not know if that would solve @jpirie’s problem.
This build is a great way to show that /e/OS Q can run on the Zeroltexx and Zerofltexx, and I sincerely hope @itsclarence and other ROM builders will attempt to improve it. Once again, let us all be thankful to them, because we would not be having this discussion otherwise.
