Also I could be wrong but if you flash with this xip and then go to another rom all your data is hosed. This happened before when no2chem was releasing roms and then he stripped the encryption feature.
All true.

Well here's my problem. I do have sensitive data I keep on the phone. I keep it on the storage card because it can be big. True if I lose the phone with the card intact and no phone password, anyone can get at it. But if I have a phone password, that blocks that route. Storage card encryption prevents access to the data if the card is removed from the password-protected phone. Only problem is that the phone power-up password breaks the handy screen/key lock feature in newer SYS (works fine in older ones) - well, more correctly it works but has to be called differently. Currently only way to lock the screen is with the Today plug-in which can't be turned on if using TF3D... Sorry to go off on a tangent, but you asked...
