Has any one worked out a way of encrypting your note and still be able to run a custom ROM? The warning about this on the safestrap thread has been up for a long time (since KitKat?) and I was hoping that someone might have made some headway into this...

If not, how do I re-root post encryption? I don't even really know what limitations to expect after this process either.

Any help, advice, links, karma loans, anything really would be appreciated!

Cheers

This is what worked for me...

I just flashed my NC2 backup to stock slot, uninstalled safestrap, busybox, unrooted with supersu and rebooted. I ran "quick encryption" with no problems (I didn't try full device) and towelroot worked as usual. Full root access probably defeats the purpose of encryption but that wasn't my call :D

Boot screen is clean, no custom triangle and I did not run triangleaway
