[hacenspy]

Hello,
So the title saif it all... How can I secure my data after installing a custom rom (e.g after unlocking the bootloader, root the phone, (when I install my extendedui rom(really great rom by the way) I had to desable enforcing encryption, is that mean that my data in not encrypted by android right now?)
Any suggestions, informations, explanation would be appreciated.
Have a nice day

Don't expect securing your phone if you've unlocked your bootloader, rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM.
Unlocked bootloader means if you lose the device, someone can just flash it and use it as their own or they can reach all your data on the phone as it is unencrypted.
Rooted software means some apps might do shady stuff in the background, if you accidentally allow them.
Custom ROM means you have to trust the dev of the ROM, no one can guarantee the security of your device, which is CLEARLY stated on the thread of every ROM.
So, if you want security, encryption etc. you need stock firmware on the latest update and a locked bootloader. That way, at least if something happens, Xiaomi or Google could be held accountable.

Thanks for your answer, Is there any trick/manœuvre I can do to encrypte my data at least?

The fragment about encryption is incorrect, your data can be and IS encrypted if you choose to, on any custom ROM that supports encryption.

The truth is, you need to trust developers responsible for the code.
For that reason, with your personal sensitive data it is only reasonable to trust big projects, like official LineageOS builds.

Oops, my bad. Encryption is possible on custom ROMs but if someone stole your device, I believe it won't be to steal your data but rather to format and sell/use the device; with an unlocked bootloader that is quite easy to do. I also agree with the big projects part, but still, if anything happens to your device, you won't be able to hold anyone responsible for it. Cheers.
