Compatibility with 5.0+ unlock methods

[jficz]

Hi, got a question: is SnooperStopper aware of changes made in 5.0 regarding boot password prompts where a pattern or a numeric PIN can be entered instead of a "password"?

I ask this as I use numeric PIN lock but want to use a stronger password for encryption. However, at boot, I am presented with a PIN pad instaead of keyboard. I tried to change the password in SnooperStopper to a numeric one different from the PIN which works but I am still presented with a numeric keyboard only. I just want to make sure that if I change the password to an actual password, I'll be presented with full keyboard and be able to enter the password. Using CM12.1 (Android 5.1).

thanks.

Yes, it is compatible with Android 5+, but not compatible with Android 6 yet (but I will add support soon). If you use other chars than digits in your encryption password, you will be presented with full keyboard.

How is Android 6+ support going? Currently the app says "Can not get root access" for me

Found something on Reddit: vdc cryptfs changepw password default_password newpwd Seems to all you need to do on Cyanogenmod 13 (and also Android 6 it seems)

@utack I didn't have device with Android 6 so far, so I couldn't properly test it. I hope I will find some solution soon, problem seems huge: Decryption unsuccessful on N5 running Stock 6.0 with ElementalX 6.03 #14

I have looked at CryptCommandListener.cpp in AOSP (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/vold/) and params are same as in Android 5.x, so this shouldn't affect stock AOSP, only CyanogenMod 13 should be affected.

@utack New version 1.3 supports both stock Android 6 and CyanogenMod 13 (tested on Nexus 5).

Just tested this on a new CM13 rom, it works perfectly. Thanks for fixing
