Hey!
I have a strange effect. Before getting my OP 5, I used an OP 3T. Encryption with PIN at start was enabled. On all my phones, bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
My OP 5 is encrypted but is not asking for a PIN at startup (at least not comparable to the OP 3T where the boot animation was short, the PIN was requested and the boot animation reappeared). Nevertheless TWRP needs the PIN.
When switching the screenlock back and forth between PIN and Swipe, I was NOT asked for the PIN at startup.
I get a PIN input before the SIM PINs were asked, but that seems when the OS already loaded.
Is this normal, anyone else experienced this?
Same here, on my 6P (unlocked bootloader + rooted) a pin is asked on the booting process while on my OP5 it is not.
I think it is due to TWRP because on stock recovery a pin is also required.
I would like to see the PIN request during boot for safety reasons.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and am seeking help from the community.
I attempt to encrypt the device with a 5 digit PIN. I get as far as the Android Encrypt logo screen however there is no progress bar or percentage complete. Once the phone's screen goes to sleep (2 minutes after initiation of encrypt procedure), I awaken it and I am immediately brought to the unlock screen to enter the PIN.
I enter the PIN and it brings me back to the Encrypt screen, again with no progress bar/percentage.
This basically can go on forever until I reboot the phone.
When I reboot the device it simply starts up as if the encryption procedure was never initiated. I enter my PIN and check the Encryption settings which show as if I never attempted/initiated encryption.
I then figured maybe it has something to do with the screen turning off so I went into Android debugging settings and enabled "Stay Awake". I attempted the encryption procedure again with the same results with then only difference being that the screen would not go to sleep which meant that it would remain in the Android Encrypt screen until I manually turned the screen off and on. Otherwise same exact result...its as if encryption process isn't starting and is only showing the encrypt logo screen.
I suspect it may be related to the CWM recovery image from information I gleaned from other posts involving different phone models/ROMs but I am not sure how to verify this or address it.
ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Thank you!

Had the same problem
I had the same problem a while ago and the solution that worked for me at the time is here.
But I haven't encrypted my phone in a while, so while I think the solution would still work, I haven't verified it.
Hi guys,
Recently i installed the ROMs Phoenix 9.4 and Imperium 10.0, both with S5 style. Both works fine, but one thing not. I configured a PIN Password in my phone, but after reboot the system, the unlock mode is set to Slide Unlock (without password), if i wait the screen turn off or lock the system and try unlock, then the PIN Password is required.
This happened in the two ROMs.
Have a way to fix it?
I would like the password was required at first, immediately after the system becomes available.
Sorry for my english, i wrote with some help of Google Translate.
Thanks!
Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue. It used to work but at some point a few ROMs ago t stopped working.
I was told it was the kernel but I have tried 4 and all with the same result, basically the PIN lock does not activate untill 30 seconds or so after the phone boots up.

No, I have not found a solution. A partial solution was to activate a Pattern Unlock.
I have just wiped and upgraded my Galaxy s4 to 4.4.2. I would like to fully encrypt my phone and use pattern unlock so I followed this article:
(just google pattern-unlock-an-encrypted-android-phone, I can't post URL)
But even though I have tried this multiple times and unplugged the USB cable (as mentioned in the article) as soon as I hit enter to start the encryption command the screen goes black on the phone and then after about 10min the phone reboots to the unlock screen and it is still unencrypted. I have tried following other articles too but they are all the same in terms of the command you run to encrypt the phone.
Any ideas? How can I get pattern unlock to work with an encrypted Android phone? Yes I know you can't do this via the GUI but then you need to enter a silly long password every single time you want to unlock the phone which is not an option for me. I don't mind entering a long password when turning on the phone but when it comes to unlocking the phones lock screen I would like to use the pattern unlock.
Any one else had any success with this on 4.4.2? Thanks!

Flash a different stock 4.4.2 . maybe its missing some files.
Hi, sadly the sim pin lock doesn't work anymore on android 5.1.1, so I reverted to 5.0.2 instead, because I set up my device that by texting "off" to my device turns it off, and when booting up it asks for a pin, rendering it useless when stolen/lost. Is there an app or workaround that only requrires a pin at boot (so not on every lockscreen)?
Nobody answered so I installed androidlost, not useable without a website but when on computer it does many usefull things such as lock & wipe. Hope somebody can use this info once

I have Magisk 17.1 installed with encryption and avb checked out, i reset my pin and click YES to enable pin on boot, when I reboot, no pin is asked. I need this feature because of some new device policy.
