How do we test direct downloads?

According to the N Developer Preview documentation, we can configure Direct Boot support on Android N through the settings> Developer options> Convert to file encryption. I can not find this option on Nexus 6 running NDP2 or on the NDP2 emulator.

According to the same documentation, we can also install this by running adb reboot-bootloader and fastboot --wipe-and-use-fbe in a terminal window. This bug report suggests that this too is broken along with the first option.

So how do we test this? In particular:

  • Has anyone received any of the above options to work on a device or emulator?

  • Has anyone tried the "emulated direct boot mode" ( adb shell sm set-emulate-fbe true ) and it works? And have you tried this on a device or emulator?

  • Are there any known side effects when trying to use this material (for example, you are likely to block your device)?

It only works on 6P and 5X via dev options. The '-wipe-and-use-fbe' option seems to be unavailable for now. FBE seems to work fine, you can always format the returned data.
