Lineage-16.0 (Android Pie) Nightly

But does encryption work reliably from scratch with LineageOS 16 (independent of TWRP)?

For me, yes.

@maba007

This way doesn’t seem to work anymore to remove and re-encryption. Are there new ways?

Whenever I had trouble with encryption or wanted to make sure I wouldn’t get any in the first place, I did the following …

@AnotherElk

• Booted TWRP
• Destroyed the LUKS header to really seriously get rid of prior encryption (Advanced - Terminal - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 bs=4096 count=512 )
• Formatted data to get a valid Ext4 partition again (Wipe - Format Data)
• Resized data to not regret later that I left that out (Wipe - Advanced Wipe - data - Repair or Change File System - Resize File System)
