Sucks to hear that. Appreciate the work

Yes. It sucks even much more, when you discover that much of the fragmentation is deliberate.

That hurts to hear.
Btw, unrelated; your suggestion for a daily driver ROM (a12) with low ram usage and good battery?

That discussion unfortunately is not for this thread.

But I will say this: low ram usage is a mirage on a linux-based system, and battery usage is often more impacted by background Google services, and your choice of apps, than anything in the ROM. My advice is to use whichever ROM does everything you need it to do, in the ways that you like things to be done, and that is well supported by a decent maintainer.

This might be a dumb question but how can I check which FBE version my ROM has without root? I am currently running the latest release of ArrowOS 12.1 for miatoll. I've searched all over their sites but couldn't find any info about it.

 

[AntonarosGr]

I tried flashing both individually but on both of them the folder names in the files tab were all in gibberish. Am I missing something?

Well, it's either FBE v1 or v2 (most likely v1). There is no in-between or other alternative. You have given no indication of which release version numbers you have flashed.

Can someone please help me get my head around what the issue with LineageOS is? I am still on A11/LOS18.1 at this point, I haven't been able to upgrade yet because I am unable to decrypt my data partition, no matter what I do. I was using pattern lock which didn't seem to be supported, so I switched to PIN but even entering the correct PIN didn't work. I tried removing PIN/passcode completely and still no luck.

I saw some vague comments a few pages back about LOS device trees and their implementation of FBE being a problem. Am I to understand that there is NO WAY to decrypt data if using LOS18.1? If that's not the case then what do I need to do, I'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

It uses FBEv2, which is not compatible with the original FBE ("v1"), and which requires a totally different kernel and recovery. OrangeFox Recovery supports FBEv2 on Android 12 and Android 13, but not on Android 11 (not for technical reasons, but because I have no time to maintain a recovery release for just a single ROM).

You should be able to decrypt your Android 11 los18.1 with this unofficial twrp, which apparently can only decrypt that one ROM: https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-miatoll-twrp-3-6-x.4366113/

Edit: I see that you've already been on that thread. If you want my advice (which you didn't ask for) dump that ROM.

Will there be the Fully supports FBE v1 version?
If I make a backup with R11.1_3_A12_FBEv1 I can't restore, it's correct?
I have MIU 13 and ro.product.first_api_level is 29 so v1.

 

[DarthJabba9]

Will there be the Fully supports FBE v1 version?

I don't understand the question. There is already an FBE v1 release.

If I make a backup with R11.1_3_A12_FBEv1 I can't restore, it's correct?

Wrong. Backup and restore works fine, at least, with custom ROMs. I don't know about MIUI 13.

 

[etmatrix]

I don't understand the question. There is already an FBE v1 release.

From Changelog R11.1_3_A12_FBEv1:

Support for FBEv1 Android 12 and Android 13 decryption only

The same entry there is for R11.1_3_A12_FBEv2, but after this release for FBEv2 there is the release R11.1_4 which report "Fully supports FBEv2 Android 12/Android 13 ROMs".

So my question is: will there be a version R11.1_4_A12_FBEv1 with Fully supports FBEv1?

Maybe I don't understand the changelog., but I think with current release for FBEv1 I can't write on /data and internal storage, because encryption doesn't supported. Rigth?

Wrong, as already explained above. Do you think there is any difference between supporting decryption and supporting encryption?

PS: I really think you should focus your attention on the changelog for the release that you want to use, not on what is said about irrelevant releases.

I don't know because I don't know how FBE works.

This is the changelog of OrangeFox-miatoll-stable R11.1_3_A12_FBEv1, which is the version I can use for my device:

Support for FBEv1 Android 12 and Android 13 decryption only
Allow MIUI 13 to persist after flashing
Update the Magisk addon to v25.2
Update to the latest upstream commits
Remove obsolete addons
Lots of other enhancements

What does "decryption only" mean?

PS: I tested read and write on /data and works, so restore should works without issue.
