feature request: "Storage manager" should be disabled by default #917
Description
Issue type
Other
Device
Nothing Phone 1 (Spacewar)
crDroid version
crDroid 12
Exact version / Build date
12.7/2026-02-10
Bug description
In the current crDroid builds, the "Storage manager" feature is enabled by default during the initial setup.
The issue is that if a user does not manually intervene or is unaware of this setting, the system is configured to automatically delete photos and videos that are older than 90 days (provided they are backed up, but many users may not realize which files are being targeted).
Steps to reproduce
Step 1: Go to "System Settings" > "Storage".
Step 2: Go to "Storage manager".
Relevant log (logcat/build log)
Not yet.Screenshots or videos
Not yet.
Solution
I suggest changing the default state of the "Storage manager" to disabled in crDroid builds, or at least adding a more prominent warning/step in the Setup Wizard to ensure users make an informed choice.
Additional context
