This is an excellent program that provides the on the fly encryption it advertizes. However, getting it set up to work properly is, unfortunately quite difficult. It took me 3 or 4 install, setup, test, followed by complete uninstall, cycles before I got it working properly. Setting up busybox properly BEFORE installing Luks is very important. But once you get it working, it works properly. I gave only 4 stars because I think it lacks an important feature, a timeout for auto dismount.

Love it. Well done. SGS2 Running PAC (4.2.2). would be 5 stars if a feature to mount preexisting containers was available. Anyone seeing issues with RNG on SGS2 use stweaks to disable frandom. Others may benefit using PRNG generator in PimpMyROM.

After years of Windows phones, I just switched to an Android, and it was not a fun transition. Yours was one of the few that was compatible with the data I was using, and while a little tricky to set up, I was so glad to have it. Thank you for providing it. I noticed some people having some problems with trying to use LUKS and FreeOTFE, so I thought I'd throw in some things I found helpful while I stumbled my way learning how to make this work. The volume file has to be created in LUKS first, not in FreeOTFE. It cannot exceed 3999 MB, and has to be FAT32. This is not a limitation of LUKS or FreeOTFE, but a limitation of Windows. See the FreeOTFE FAQ. Before accessing the volume file from FreeOTFE, make sure your volume has been dismounted from LUKS, and USB debugging has been disabled. Connect as a USB Mass Storage Device. Open the volume from the FreeOTFE console, rather than double clicking on the volume file. When your done doing whatever it is you want to have done, dismount the volume file properly from FreeOTFE. Remount the file using LUKS. Be paranoid. Remember your password. Backup your volume as a whole, or a regular encrypted FreeOTFE volume on your computer.
