VS995 Keeps encrypting Itself

Hello,

I have two vs995 devices, and they both keep encrypting themselves, no matter what zip I flash, or what steps I follow. I have tried multiple solutions around these forum, by flashing to stock, unlocking and installing twrp, then installing the rom and encrypt-disable zip in whatever order that particular zip requested, plus formatting data. We'd use the phone for a couple weeks, then we would look and find the phone had encrypted again, without any indication that it had, the only thing telling me was TWRP.
Any ideas?

Also, I noticed that the Alpha-Omega ROM has been discontinued. Is there another custom stock ROM out there?

ROM I use: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-verizon-lg-v20-stock-oreo-rooted-t3845669

Sorry if I was vague...

When I install the rom and set it up, it works, no encryption. Then I will use it for a while, and go to edit something, install a zip, or some mod requiring TWRP, and I will receive the message that "your data partition is encrypted. Please enter the password to decrypt."
Still haven't figured it out.

I don't think there is a reason to flash the encrypt-disable.zip, at least I never have on my VS995. You have to do a *full* format in TWRP, formatting /data as well (not just a "factory reset"). There was a bug that bit a few of us in some TWRP 3.2.x releases that didn't seem to actually format the data. (I don't remember which specifically, sorry!) Try to update to the absolute latest TWRP and do a full wipe (it will delete EVERYTHING so backup anything you want), reflash your ROM, and set it up again.

I do use Magisk. Found out the encryption happens when Magisk updates. And yes, I do have the "force encrypt" and "dm-Verity" checkboxes unchecked in Magisk.

Edit: It may also be a combination of the ROM I'm using and Magisk both messing each other up.
