I did a brief research and it looks like one requires to use Cryptonite app for managing encrypted volumes with FUSE, but it's been taken down from Google Play. As for the kernel support, I should look deeper into what is offered for my Moto G5s. In the meantime, feel free to post an answer based on your comment – just probably add some more details, if possible, or just describe your use-case for newbies:) | |

If you have a rooted phone, EncFS is a simple solution that I have been using on my K and L devices for years to use (physically) external SD card as public external storage (/sdcard) by Disabling Internal Memory (DIM). Also it's quite easy to do incremental backup of some encrypted directories like DCIM to cloud (such as with rclone). It does have multi-platform support. All you need is a kernel with FUSE support, an encfs binary and an init.d script.

| May 20, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | andselisk | @alecxs This sounds quite complicated to me. Also, I don't know how to handle LUKS-encrypted volumes under Windows; programs such as FreeOTFE, LibreCrypt or DoxBox all appear to be abandonware. However, if there is no easier solution you can think of, free to post an answer (probably elaborate a bit more on a scripting side). | |

as long as you keep all your scripts and binaries together, it should be possible to adapt. common init.d folders are /data/adb/post-fs-data.d /su/su.d and for executable binaries /data/adb/magisk /su/xbin

| May 20, 2019 at 13:47 | comment | added | andselisk | @alecxs I've been thinking about LUKS and I even used an app called LUKS Manager (or something similar) around 2012-2013, but then the development was seized. I'm also not sure how robust using LUKS on Android would be, e.g. I suspect a lot of things might break if I decide to upgrade to the next Android version, or flash another ROM; feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 13:42 | comment | added | andselisk | @alecxs Personally, I all the devices I use are rooted. If the there is a solution for the non-rooted smartphones the community can benefit from, this would be ideal. | |
| May 20, 2019 at 13:28 | comment | added | alecxs | maybe here is what you looking for? alternativeto.net/software/luks/?platform=android android is basically linux. you can compile your own static binaries for arm architecture with Linux Deploy google.com/search?q=cryptsetup+android | |
