Hi, Cryptonite is a port of EncFS to the Android platform along with a minimal and ugly GUI to decrypt, mount and create EncFS volumes [1].
It's been around for a couple of months on Google Play [2], and I'd consider the EncFS part as reasonably stable judging from the bug reports that I get from Google Play and on the issue tracker [3]. Not talking about the UX/UI part here which still needs a lot of work. It uses the original EncFS code and applies a small patch [4] so that EncFS can effectively be used as a library from Java. This allows Cryptonite to decrypt files without actually mounting a volume, similar to what encfsctl does. As a matter of fact, it started out as an encfsctl port. I wondered whether there's any interest to merge back the patch into EncFS. On the short term, this would simplify maintenance of Cryptonite upon EncFS updates. On the long run, an EncFS library (or API - whatever you want to call it) would simplify writing interfaces for other programming languages such as Python or Ruby.
