Account creation with custom N, R, P parameters

[fraspadafora]

Hi,
I'm working with Android apps, and the decrypt time for the account is very high.
So i need to create accounts with different N, R, P so it doesn't take that much time.
Is it possible to add a new function in the Wallet class with the possibility to specify these parameters?
Thank you.

hi，i get the same problem with you!! can you tell me how to change the N,R,P to make decrypt time quick?

[fraspadafora]

The geth mobile lib uses N = 4096 and P = 6
That can be decrypted in 10 seconds more or less.
For this reason I think it is useful to have the possibility to set the N,P and R parameters when an account is created.

change N adn P value make account create faster is good..but does it have security risks? the hacker decrypt it quick also.

We could potentially lower these values for the Android client. I'll follow up with the Go team on their justification for lowering the value - unless one of you can already provide this insight?

In the geth mobile library for Android (https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/downloads/) in the AccountManager, they are using the Geth.LightScryptN object with value 4096 and Geth.LightScryptP with value 6 to create a new account.
Of course it is easier to decrypt, but I think it is the compromise to have something usable.
I suggest to store big amounts of money in mist wallets, and less quantity in mobile accounts.

This functionality has been checked in - expect to see in web3j-android release 1.2.0 in the next week or so.
