Android 9.0 Pie decrypt is coming along. Decrypt is working with the system and vendor partitions mounted. I will need to identify which files are needed so that we can unmount these partitions. Also I will need to do a little code cleanup.
Hopefully the Pixel 3 will follow using similar decrypt methods unlike the big differences we saw last year between the Pixel 1 and 2. For a while, the Pixel 1 and 2 were on different branches of Android with some fairly significant differences.
In other news, the Pixel 2 TWRP ramdisk has gotten to be quite large. Using the default gzip compression, the boot image would no longer boot. Fortunately the stock kernel supports an lzma ramdisk by default but these issues don’t bode well for the future.
