That won’t work - based on what it says.

If “the prompt to unlock your disk isn’t working” then enabling LUKS manually would not be a good thing to do. All you will achieve is a phone that you can never boot.

Because the boot partition can’t (yet) correctly handle an encrypted root partition, they aren’t even (yet) providing an encrypted variant disk image.

As such therefore crimson isn’t ready for you to put any sensitive data on the phone, particularly if the phone goes outside your house. It’s really an early preview version.

(Technically, there are a range of technologies available with Linux that could provide protection for sensitive data without using a LUKS-encrypted root partition, but you would be creating extra hassle for yourself.)

Thank you so so much for your detailed explanation, Irvinewade :pray::pray::pray::smiley:
I’ll wait crimson ready to install on my L5 then! In effect this version is alpha without camera yet and other features! It isn’t for me!

I think we are at the crash test dummy stage with crimson. If you don’t mind having to reflash at the drop of a hat then fine. If you want a stable phone then stay with byzantium.

On my quick test looks like Crimson is spending more battery than Byzantium, i not sure why ATM, but Crimson it need to be 15% better for Battery and Performance than Byzantium.

Crimson need Love, Crimson need Free Software purely programmers. Open Source too much game, too much copy paste, cloning…
