What devices are supported?

Since Android is build on top of the Linux kernel, EFS-Tools library and executables can be easily ported to any Android device independently of the AOSP version. However, there is a small demo of EFS-Tools library, which requires graphicall interface. For this to work you must download and build the Android 4.4_r1.2 (kitkat) tree.

Supported devices:

x86 emulator - https://github.com/catalinionita/Ecryptfs-Tools-for-Android/wiki/Building-AOSP-4.4_r1.2-with-EFS-Tools-for-x86-Android-Emulator
