Any way to turn off encryption?

[Guest mark2410]

so whith the new update to lollipop (jut as M launches) the Hudle decided that i was to have it encrypted.  i do not want it encrypted especialy, more over im pissed that tesco just decided it was happening, no asking me if i wanted it, no option to decline it.

 

so i woul rather like to turn it off but tesco seem to have decided we should not be allowed that option.  is there some way to turn it off that ive not noticed?

I think forced encryption was built into the update, so to remove it you'll have to ask Tesco to remove it in a later update or get a version of the rom that has it disabled.

No mate its mandatory

Interestingly though it's not mandatory on all devices.. My Nvidia wasn't encrypted?

it doesn't seem to pose a problem though, apart from it takes an extra 30 seconds to boot the device

Encryption isn't a mandatory requirement by Google for Lollipop, the device just has to have the ability. The OEM (in this case Tesco) chose to enforce encryption, it had the choice to choose.

Yet didn't pass this choice onto the consumer :(
