Neither of those have anything to do with any apps. If your using official TWRP then you can keep your /data partition encrypted. To remove encryption you will format which also erases everything in /data and internal SD. What your referring to changes the fstab to allow the choice to be encrypted, and was only necessary before TWRP was able to decrypt.

Hello Skywalker! Can you tell me how I would go about disabling forced encryption for good?(at least until I choose to turn back on). I don't want my device to be encrypted whatsoever, so after I wipe data and flash lineage/stock, what else should I do to prevent the device from encrypting? Thanks!

If you are dealing with lineage I would ask in that thread for help, or read through the twrp thread.

Well, lineage OR stock. So for this case, stock. If I just flashed stock and have TWRP, how would I disable forced encryption?

i'm bored of CM rom 'cause 4.4 is not ready yet and i prefer 4.3 stock vs CM based, so i will flash the stock one... how i... or what i must uncheck to prevent delete my files.. i haven't SD card now.. =/
so... i must....
thanks for your help...
If you're on any CM based rom and want to go back to Stock (especially to an earlier Android version) you need to wipe everything in order to work correctly.
Flash via flashtool and just leave everything checked as is.

There is one more option. You can backup using moborobo, but I'm not sure if it creates backup for app data's

you should be able to choose to wipe your data partition without wiping the Internal Storage... (should be one of the options on your recovery... which recovery are you running?)

If you backed up using cwm, only the app "Rom manager" will allow you to see your backups. And you are only able to locate and transfer them to your PC if you have the paid version of Rom Manager. If you want to go back to stock using flashtool, unfortunately you will lose your files as a SD card wipe is mandatory thru flash tool.

Well, if he's using a PC to do this, he should be able to also mount the drive and copy everything off... (if he's running CWM, he can mount it as a USB drive and not deal with the MTP method of access...)

Hey guys,
I got a rooted stock ROM with TWRP. When I go to TWRP I don't see any option to decrypt?
So how can I actually do it? Will I lose any data while decrypting?
Thanks in advance!

Simply format the data partition. (once you have to type: "YES", than you are at the right menu option)
It will delete ALL personal files (photos etc..)
Once you've done, you can go to the System settings to verify it.

Confirmed formatting the data partition disables encryption as well as any saved file so back up to pc or cloud if you have pictures movies docs you can't live without

Actually, you must be rooted, you must then flash a kernel that does not force encryption (or no force encryption zip), Then you format data. Yes, you will then loose your data. Follow the link, it's laid out pretty clearly for the N6 but the procedure for any Nexus is the same. There are a few other ways to do it but for the basics follow the link.

correct, however the OP already has a rooted device with TWRP. You can have root rights on 5x if you have installed a modified boot image. Therefore he/she has to format the data partition only.

It will not work, for advanced security reasons the encrypted device is the standard on Marshmallow.
If you want to decrypt your phone and would like to get a bit snappier device, than the only way is the rooted device. You do not have to install a custom Rom, just unlock the bootloader, install a modified kernel and format the Data partition.

This has nothing to do with root. The only prerequisite is a kernel with forced encryption disabled and formatting data after flashing such kernel.
You don't need to be rooted to run unencrypted.
I'm on ElementalX kernel.
If I backup the data partition, then format it to disable encryption, and then restore data, will it work?

A BIG THANK YOU @acsontos
This imho is the most valuable information for a newcomer, so this post should be a sticky. Once you know it, you think everybody knows it. I was at my wits end trying decrypt questioning my move to N5X from N5, till I found this post. Many misleading posts around that make you go around in circles. Thanks again man!
So not need to flash kernel? Just root and clear the partiton?

I installed Viper out of curiosity. However, after a reboot, it asked for the pin for decrypting. I deleted the stock keyboard, so I couldn't type the pin.
So, I wanted to go back to my back up of BadBoyz. Well, in TWRP, it asks for pin as well. I hit cancel, but I can't modify anything still.
I can't install a new ROM, I can't modify ROM, and I can't do anything, because it doesn't mount internal sd.
What can I do to get my backup back?
TIA.

How to format data without losing storage files in an encrypted phone using TWRP Recovery?
Do you realize that "formatting" and "not losing" are the exact opposite things?
You can't format without losing data, you can only backup stuff to some other location (PC, USB ...) and then restore it after formatting.

You can't format /data and /sdcard separately in an encrypted phone since nougat. Data contains apps and account info, sdcard contains stored pics, music etc... Storage and data folders are separate. Again... Read the question ??? cheers

You need a kernel that can boot with data as ext4. Take a look at my post here:

Magisk works fine with this.
