Hi Zaito, so sorry for delay, I have only just logged on in ages.
I tested it on GS5 only - installed UT 24.04 because it was the only way to make phonecalls when 3g packed up. Nothing I did enabled Waydroid to persist. Meaning that if waydroid was closed for any reason, you couldn't reboot it without a completely fresh installation. This rectified in June with a new UT update. Everything works well in both UT and Waydroid with one exception; there is no clipboard on waydroid. Which means you cannot copy or paste anything in any circumstances. If I need waydroid copy facilities I have to use another phone running UT20.04.
Hope all is well.
@dobey said in Security of data and passwords when phone is lost/stolen:
This is only true if the bootloader is already unlocked, or the device has a bug where unlocking the bootloader does not perform a system reset and destroy all data. Newer devices do not necessarily require "authorization" either, but just have a more complex process where you have to also set an option from within the booted Android system.
You're right. Completely forgot that unlocking forced a wipe. Thanks for the correction.
Newer devices do not necessarily require "authorization" either, but just have a more complex process where you have to also set an option from within the booted Android system.
Yes, that process is what I'm referring to when I say unlocking must be authorized from within the stock OS before it can be done to newer devices. (i.e., "must be flagged as unlockable from within developer settings" in the earlier post. I probably should have added the word "manually" before "flagged" to make that clear.)
yes, @Opolork : posts have specific topics, which makes them easy to find... so if someone has an issue, others who might have the same issue, or have had in the past, might be able to help, or get help.
