CM has now enabled encryption, any trouble with custom kernels? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The latest nightlies of CM have enabled forced encryption (after update it encrypts the data even if you had unencrypted your device before), and I'm wondering if that will cause problems for some custom kernels? Mainly ElementalX since I intend to switch to it soon, but interested in any anwser on the matter.
Thanks in advance for your answers !

[Q] ROM with - encryption -

hi there,
tried to find an answer to this today but wasn't able to finde one.
is there a rom that supports the phone encryption that was introduced to honeycomb/ics? i tried cm9.1 but it's broken. nothing happens when i start the process.
does the stock ics have such an option that works?
thanks in adv
edit: i think it's kernel related. found KeiCS kernel from last year that explicit supports encryption.
no mention in lupus or turbo kernel threads. but perhaps someone knows?

[Q] Just got my phone after SDS syndrome, have some questions if you could help

Guys I just received my phone after the known problem with the SDS syndrome. My mobo was swapped..
Anyway I am a little rusty since I haven't been into ROMs/kernels lately so I have some questions as to the correct order and/or what I need to do.
I have seen that 4.3 is available through Cyanogen MOD so I am thinking about updating into this.
So I have some questions.
1. First and most importantly is Cyanogen 4.3 a stable release w/o issues? Do you have anything else to recommend (go for 4.2.2 for example)? I know this is personal preference but I'd like a rock stable ROM w/o issues, tested and fast if possible! And what about a reliable kernel? Should I keep stock or use another that you could recommend?
2. I had the swap internal/external memory mod with my previous builds. Is it compatible with Cyanogen or maybe is there any better way that I am unaware of to install apps on SD w/o the mod?
3. Do I need to have something else in mind ?
Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

1.Yes 4.3 is little mature now but not ripe as 4.2.2 are..and yes 4.3 is stable now as far as I know.
I'll personally go for 4.2.2 since these are stable builds now and most of the custom aosp roms are based on 4.2.2..but PAC and Probam(4.3 based) are quite famous now and bugfree too!!
For kernel I prefer perseus or neak in 4.1.2. For 4.3, probam has its own cm modified kernel
2.No idea regarding this coz I didn't used this mod
3.Yes..If u r planning to flash roms then always use sds patched kernel+recovery..

Thanks for the answer. Anyone knows if any kernel/rom from the PAC/Probam has issues with swap/internal external memory?

[Q] ROMs with working device encryption?

I've tried both the unofficial CM11 and CM12 ROMs and neither seem to have working device encryption. This has been discussed in the CM12 thread but I found no mention of it in the CM11 thread. Rather than just focusing on those two, I was wondering if there's a rather vanilla ROM that is known to have device encryption working. I really didn't like the 10m I spent with the stock G3 ROM but device encryption is an absolute must for me.

[Q] Full f2fs roms for FLO?

Hi Fellas,
I am currently wondering whether there is any development efforts going on in the field of full f2fs roms for flo?
thanks in advance!
Hi @steijn0,
any Lollipop Rom is f2fs compatible, you only have to flash a f2fs Kernel like Glitch for the ramdisk. I'm currently using Simple AOSP with Glitch kernel. Only system is ex4.
The!

[Q] please help

Hello all. First I want to thank everyone for still being around to help, especially on such an old device.
Anyway, I recently bought one of these and got it rooted via odin. Currently that's all I've done to her. I have been looking over this forum, android forums, and Google in general prior to posting, I want to solve problems on my own, but when I can't, I'm not scared to ask for help. And I need help with a few issues. I will seperate them, to make answering them easier.
1) is twrp not available for this model?
2) if not, the only other recoverys I can find is Phils TouchWiz, and ClockworkMod recovery touch 5.8.1.5. I wouldn't think these are the same, which is suggested? Also Phils Touchwiz was last updated (that I can find) to 4.1.2 which is where I currently am, am I want to go to 4.4
3) I only see 2 ROMs listed on here, and 1 is one of the ones I was thinking of using in Dirty Unicorns. The other I was thinking about was CyanogenMod. Which of these two is suggested?
4) I have no service on this phone, as its my tinkering device. The only thing I need to work is WiFi. That being said, do I need to flash a new modem?
Do I need to flash a new kernel?
Thanks for any help you can throw me. I know there are lots of tuts for all these questions, but frankly they are all very old, and this stuff changes by the day...
1. Yes but this device has recovery and kernel built in together, this recovery is only for flashing / wiping, other than that, it is not usable with other custom roms unless the devs build it to use that
recovery along with the kernel.
2. It's the same as question 1, For Touchwiz Jellybean, you'll need a recovery kernel that supports the android version and firmware, otherwise it wouldn't work or boot up, Agat's Source GB27 for GB27 Touchwiz ROMs. Or specific AOSP Kernels for certain kernel build updates ( versions are compatible with the build date of the ROM's Original Kernel, meaning it only works on certain ROMs that are updated with the same kernel build, for example, A custom 0.0.25 will not work with stock 0.0.26 because there was a major update change in the kernel that'll make 0.0.25 not usable on it. If you use a kernel based on a specific date on an AOSP ROM that frequently updates the kernel, it may not boot up. )
3. The AOSP ROMs that are being updated at the moment are the Teams that do Nightlies. So Cyanogenmod is the only AOSP ROM that's being updated weekly for this device, I have not checked on the other ones.
4. No need to flash a modem if you don't have data service, however it may help either way when using WiFi due to dropped connections, stability etc. For AOSP, use any ICS modem, for Touchwiz, use the same android firmware modem.
Flashing a new kernel is not needed unless you don't like how the stock kernel performs whether if it's power saving or performance. AOSP kernels are kind of limited as the ones out now work with different build dates of the ROMs, Touchwiz has a couple, but Agat63's Source Kernel is recommended by everyone for GB27.
