Memory losing permission daily

hi all,

Have just installed an update to xXx No Limits Rom, have posted there but got nothing, but i'm also guessing that this is a more widespread problem or something i've not spotted myself.

Essentially what happens is the devices applications lose the ability to read from or write to the internal memory.

EG:

You receive a pic on whatsapp but it'll fail to download.
You grab an image from chrome but chrome believes there is no SD card present.
Gallery fails to show any pics at all.

Running this command in a terminal then rebooting will get it back up and running

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

However after a day it will revert, my guess is that the android system is taking back control but not allowing permission for the phones applications.

I'm on 7.1.1 No limits v2.2 Encrypted
TWRP version: 3.1.1-0

Any ideas?

PS: just spotted that i didn't install the verified boot signer, not sure if this matters after a few rom installs or not?

Would you mind sharing it? Or telling me what thread you got it from? I've had a headache all today trying to get this working on my phone haha
I have to be honest mate, i dont' actually know what i did.

I re-installed the rom, updated TWRP, my device is encrytped now, not sure if it was decrypted before or not.

Beyond that i havent' done anything mate? There is an SD fix in the no limits rom thread which could help but i've not had to flash it.

Sorry mate.
