Full Disk Encryption Nexus 5

@dobey Yes, but as far I can judge, Veracrypt for Ubuntu Touch is worth testing.
-
@peter-gamma Well then, try it out and let us know the result here.

@thilov I currently have no time and not installed Ubuntu Touch on a device yet, but I invite also others to try Veracrypt out. Veracrypt is a desktop application. I have tried out Veracrypt on a Windows 10 PC and was very satisfied. What can be more encrypted of a device than the whole system, and Veracrypt can do it. It allows also to work with the PC during encryption, and encrypton can be reverted easily. According to my own my little experience, Veracrypt is a mature software. Veracrypt had safety issues, but they where discussed intensely, they where safety updates, none of the issues seemed to be severe. Is it not an advantage of Linux phones, that desktop applications like Veracrypt can run on it, or can adapted to it, respectively? I cannot see an advandage of a specialized full disc encryption software, which would be better than Veracrypt.

@peter-gamma Ok I think @liamolua thread has been used enough now to state Veracrypt is an option for windows 10. As for the rest it has been pointed out a few times that UT does not currently support full disk encryption no matter what product is involved.
If you wish to carry on and try out FDE on UT with your choice of software please carry on and then come back and let us know, but for now I think that is it. Thanks -
@lakotaubp Who decides whether a thread is used enough to discuss about a subject? Who gave you the authority to do this? This is a community, not a dictatorship. You can express our opinion, but you don t have the right to dictate what I should do.

Well considering Lakotaubp is one of the forum moderators, I'd say he does indeed have the right to tell you when you have gone too far.

@peter-gamma I thought I had said all I needed to on this already (please see my comments above)but......So, please stop pushing Veracrypt and if and when you solve FDE on UT please come back and tell us how.
Until then count this as a friendly warning and stop. This was not your thread to start with, it's never a good idea to hijack a thread and those with more skill and knowledge (and I don't include myself in that) have already explained it is not currently possible. Thanks
