Thanks man ! All suggestions are appreciated
By the way I have something in mind - to add a "Report this app" button, which will send me the package name if anyone is unsure if one app is safe or not, or if someone finds a new spyware.

Nice one! Is there a way to find who has installed the Spyware on my phone?

does this has any option to restrict application permissions?

The PRO version has an Install date in details applications list, so if you know where was you phone at that date, there's a very good chance to know who has installed it (the install date/time is in your local time)

No way from the app. I suppose that you need rooted phone and some kind of observer. Probably there's a solution in the custom ROMS for that ?

The MIUI ROM / Superuser app has ability to restrict permissions of reading phone state, SMS messages, CALLS, dial and answer calls. You can choose between Denied / Allow and Always Ask options - very nice

It reports
Catch
XBMC Remote
GO SMS Pro

As suspicious. What's funny? GO SMS Pro for using permissions for sending texts.

It really have fast scanner.
No spyware found. But give ne 2 warrnings...
XBMC remote
NoLed

Thank you for the feedback
First I want to thank you both for giving it a try, and providing the valuable feedback.
Catch (com.threebanana.notes) - Not sure if you are referring "Catch Notes Notepad", but it is reported as suspicious because of the boot on startup, record audio, internet access, getting a fine GPS location - which are enough to send your location, and phone calls to internet server. However the app seems stable and will be ignored in the next release.
XBMC Remote - (org.xbmc.android.remote) - Seems safe, listed in Warnings because of start on boot, read and receive of SMS messages. Will be marked as safe in the next release.
NoLed (com.led.notify) - reads GMAIL, reads & receives SMS, start on boot - apparently all permissions are needed for normal operations of the app as described. Will be marked safe in the next release.
GO SMS Pro (com.jb.gosms) - Full range of permissions - read, receive, SMS, MMS, etc., start on boot, record audio and network-based location.
The two that bothers me are record audio, and network-based location. With the abillity of sending and receiving SMS messages it can be used to return GPS location on received SMS to the sender of the SMS. I'm not sure if this is a feature ?

A new version that excludes the for apps above has been rolled on Google Play, and will be available for download in the next few hours.
Thanks once again for the feedback !

Yes. I was referring to the Catch Notes.
Here to consider google has permission on "record phone calls". Believe RECORD_AUDIO is actually needed to work with voice recognition. Seems a bit funky it is not separated into different permissions.
With XBMC I totally don't have problem marking as not spyware since sources are there.
With GO SMS Pro. Yeah, it is a feature for some. But pure GPS location is a bit useless unless filtered through location on a map or accompanied by nearby location.

Yes, you are right about RECORD_AUDIO. The 4 reported apps are already skipped from the scanner in the last version rolled on the market.
Here's the apk, because Google Play will roll it tomorrow I think

Nice app, reported Juice Defender, Desk Notifier and AVG Anti-Virus as suspicious. No biggie to me as I'm pretty sure they're safe lol
For anyone that cares:
PDroid offers an excellent solution to those questionable permissions for the rooted user.

thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056

Thanks ridethisbike !
Strange, but JuiceDefender has permissions to read sms, mms, starts on boot and also GPS and Network-based location ...
AVG Antivirus will be added in the ignore list at the next release of the app.
Cannot find Desk Notifier in the market. Is it there, or that's something custom ?
PDroid is great, just checked it out. I'm using MIUI, and the Superuser app has similar features

Seems that the JuiceDefender has this feature: "auto-toggle WiFi depending on your location" and that's why it needs GPS and Network-based location ...

A new version is rolled on the market skipping AVG and JuiceDefender.
Btw there's already a cracked fake version of the PRO version. Please note that installing the fake version can compromise your Android Device privacy. Also the fake version will not be updated, so you will miss SpyWare definition updates. If anyone needs a free version, just put the FREE one - it's an ad free app, and the new SpyWare definitions are rolled to it too.

Just gave this a little run and it came back with 3 suspicious apps.
HeyWire, SMS Backup and Restore and finally 1tap Cleaner Pro.
I have been using all 3 apps for a long time with no issues and I have never had any concern that they were suspect in any way.

More than necessary and definitely a great idea

Thank you too for your reply and support.
App worked great the first time installed it. The System Scan was excellent, but it has stopped working and using the System Scan causes Force Close. All the other tools are great, but this especially useful tool is causing FCs no matter what I try. Any advice on getting it working?

Some great information and apps.. thanks a lot or sharing. Found a number of apps that were a little too nosey for my liking.
Installed LBE Security and AdFree.
Thankyou!
What on earth could Angry Birds want my IMEI/IMSI for??
Just some statistics from my own experience:
85~% of the apps you will ask you for permission to use your IMEI/IMSI!
40~% wants your position / GPS
30% ask to read your call logs / contacts etc.
...... but see it yourself!
Btw: If you find a good app, that I could add to this list, don't hesitate to post here.
I agree wholeheartedly. Privacy, and hence liberty, is being eroded at every turn. People just don't seem to realize how much information they're giving away, and don't care. What's the big deal about wearing a little yellow star someone once said. That is the evil insidious problem of Facebook. A generation ago people kept diaries under lock and key. Now people publish their every banal moment to Facebook. And, to be fair, most of these people are safe doing this. Most people are not criminals or terrorists and have nothing, or what they consider very little, to hide. But this is the thin edge of the wedge. I read 1984 in 1970. I also read Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World. Although the authoritarianism of our present system is less overt and more insidious than that shown in these books, you really can see distinct similarities between these fictional times, and the way we live now. It is easy to find copies of these books, everyone should download them and read or re-read them. Yes, it might interfere with watching professional sport or dancing with quasi celebrities...but that which does not kill you makes you stronger. If you live in a free country it is your duty as a citizen to be informed, or else we wind up like we are now....rioting in the streets while our leaders ignore us, while they kowtow to the global financial elites.
And the above post is the saddest thing of all. If we want to use any app we have to give them blanket permissions. I'm sorry, I don't want them knowing who/where I am. Who my contacts are, what I'm doing. I miss the ownership of my data that the old Palm OS gave me. And I rue the day I was forced into the cloud. I don't want to see their ads. I don't want to help them in any way. That may seem unreasonable considering most of the programs are free, and you can call me selfish, but to me free is free period. If you want to charge for your app, and it is good, I'll pay for it, but if you're going to call an app free it should be just that, free. The "business is business argument" doesn't cut it with me, there is only one "thing" and that's the right" thing". Integrity is the only thing that sets regular people apart from the wealthy.
Thanks to the OP
Thank you very much.
I'd recommend Privacy Inspector to check what your apps can do. Full version Privacy Blocker can actually change applications so they would not be able to gather personal information about you.
thx for this help post, very much needed
You should really remove the Taskmanager (here for why) since they do more harm then good.. Now an app like Watchdog alerts you when apps are misbehaving and lets you kill them but other than that you should just leave them alone.. at least on 2.2+

This is a good one, didn't know that about taskmanagers.
But still, to kill some unwanted apps you need a taskmanager.
I will recommend watchdog now of course too.
btw. there is an update for lbe privacy guard.
I will add that soon in the 1st post.
stay tuned!
Hy, thanks for the post. The lbe guard seems nice, I was using "Permission denied" until now, but the interface was not that good xD
What's your opinion to virus scanner like lookout mobile security?

hey...
did the app u attach is the latest version???
Some good ones for you guys.
PDroid – The Better Privacy Protection is a program you can use to block acces to personal data. Read the link. Super! It doesnt do anything without paching the ROM youre using. But patching is fairly easy using pacher found at aplication thread. No ICS support yet . I suggest asking your ROM devs to implement PDroid patch. If we demand...
Edit: You find all instructions in the PDroid thread.
And then the other: Bloatfreezer. App that can freeze any other app in system. Freezing doesnt make system misbehave and it works on system apps too. You can freeze anything. Alot better than task killers. Author is Trey Holland who find the Carrier IQ in android systems. He has been sued by google from reveiling Carrier IQ which is app that sends all your data to somewhere. Even your key presses.
Carrier IQ is a spying app in millions of phones. Nokia, blackberry, android etc.
You can scan your system using logging test app by xda user Trey Holland; TrevE
Edit: Some thanks would be nice because these are gems here.

[APP][2.2+] Network Connections for Android

Hi all,
After making the Anti Spy Mobile, I had some questions from users how to track the actual connections from Spyware apps, or comments like "Anti Spy Mobile says my phone is clean, but my device is still tracked". Then I decided to make Network Connections - an app that monitors, captures and logs all connections from an Android device in order to show where the "data goes". And to work for NON-ROOT devices too. Almost an year after, here's the app - Network Connections for Android.
Because I wanted to thank all of you (XDA-devs members) that gave me suggestions for my previous app - Anti Spy Mobile, I've decided to thank you all by giving you a free, unlimited key for the new app. The key will be available in Google Play until 10/10/2013 extended until 19/10/2013, so everyone who likes the app can download it now and use it without limitations!
About the app - a tool that displays and monitors (tracks) all inbound and outbound connection from and to Android device that works on NO ROOT phones (for Android up to 10) too. For Android 10+ you need ROOT (see below)..
KEY FEATURES:
- Monitors all internet connections from and to your Android device
- Displays notification when hidden apps are connecting to remote servers
- Displays detailed IP information for each connection - IP address, reverse resolving (PTR), AS number, Abuse RBL data, administrative information, etc.
- Gets detailed info about each app that connects to remote servers and network connections used by it - permissions granted to each captured package and all IP addresses used by it.
- Real-time sort by most active, latest connections or by package name.
- Log and export the captured data.
Connections Used by The App:
Google IPs - Statistics and Maps
RIPE, ARIN - IP information

Special Unlock Key For XDA-Developers: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.connmonitor.unlockxda&utma=xd
Please let me know how do you like it, and what are your suggestions on it. One thing that is not implemented, but seems to be good is the feature to block non-wanted connections (this will work for ROOT users only, but still will be a plus).
Known issues: Some IP addresses are not handled correctly on x86 Intel devices - negative numbers in the octets. - fixed
v1.0.8 - fixed resolving in current connections tab & some optimizations
v1.1.1 - zero port connections with invalid state not displayed
v.1.5.0beta - made to work for *Rooted devices for Android 10+
UPDATE (06/2020): A beta version (v.1.5.0) that works with Rooted Android 10+ devices is now released. Please test and submit reports here
You need ROOT for Android 10+: The app needs supolicy and it works with Majestik and SuperSU. All comments are appreciated.
All suggestions are welcome! Thank you ! :good:

Playing with it, I found some interesting "unexpected" connections:
For example - the ES File Explorer (one of the best file managers for me) is connecting to IP in Beijing, China on the HTTP port 80 ... ?
There are no ads in their app, probably they are using some kind of tracking, but why in China? Most of the apps are using Flurry, Google Analytics, etc. With a saucy list of permissions granted to the app it's scary ..
So, I was thinking that probably a place on the web that explains the network connections of the apps (at least the popular ones) will be a good source of security for those that want to know. What do you think ?
Nice app, thanks! Working well on N4. No funny connection with ES though. Did you use its downloader maybe?
Thanks! About the ES, the connection was right after the start on cleaned prefs. It can be something from their tutorial though ?
Sent from my Nexus using xda premium
The domain name www.estrongs.com resolves to that same IP 202.108.23.200, so it's something from their web site or something from their service.
However, this IP hosts many other China web-sites, so I'm still not sure what exactly they are using this connection for: http://sameid.net/ip/202.108.23.200/
nice app for monitoring apps
i can use this one :good:
Current connections tab:
is it possible to have a group option (group by app, group by status(listen, established, etc)
Is it possible to have a filter?
For example i only want to see established connection from Chrome for example.
thanks for this app

Hi,
Connection grouping is more or less made in the APP Log tab - cumulative per app or by clicking on the Chrome app in APP Details screen, where you see all IPs used by the specific app.
Filter is good - I have to think how to make it from UI side of view, as I don't want to use menu buttons etc. in user navigation.
Thanks for testing and your suggestions !
very nice, i was looking for an app like this. :good:

Hi, Your question is OK, as the app still don't have a doc-related material. The Current connections tab shows in live time all connections made by your device.
The Connections Log tab shows only accumulated data for the captured connections - e.g. you may start and stop the live capture over time.
Unfortunately the D/L U/L rate is not available per IP, as the app is not using netfilter/iptables logs.

[APP][4.4+][Root]ToolWiz Privacy

We are thinking of separating APP Freeze and Privacy Freeze and make two different Apps.
With ToolWiz Privacy you can still protect your personal info against big data tracking of APPs. In addition, we will add album locker to protect your photos from spying eyes and small tools to clear your browser history.
APP Freeze will be an independent APP aiming at extending battery life and avoiding big data roaming bills. We help you better manage your smartphone by killing background service of APPs and preventing them from auto-start.
What do you think of the idea? Your opinion is more than welcome.
---
Hey,
We are a small team focusing on android security and we developed a tool called ToolWiz Privacy. This APP aims to protect android phone users against data collecting and ads pushing APPs. Moreover, we want to help users extend battery life of their smartphones.
Now we have our beta test version(1.01) and we would like to invite you to join us and make it better.
ToolWiz Privacy has two main functions—APP Freeze and Privacy Freeze.
You can freeze your APPs so that they are completely locked and banned from being active or running in the background. The frozen APPs can only be opened from ToolWiz Privacy.
You can freeze your privacy so that APPs can only get access to your fake personal information. You can edit fake privacy info (fake phone number, location, IMEI…) yourself and block unwanted actions of APPs(sending and receiving text message, making and receiving phone calls…) in settings.
It’s the first APP in the world to help you to get rid of big data tracking and it makes your Android phone keep running for more than 20 hours without charging.
Check if you are able to use ToolWiz Privacy:

Does the privacy freeze allow me to prevent an app from sending notifications? Some apps send notification spam.

Of cause, you can go to app settings and check on the 'Block Notification Bar' item. And add the app into Privacy Freeze.Just try it!

Tried your app and unless I misunderstood you have 1 set of "fake data" used by all the apps....this is not going to work out well as you might want SOME apps to be able to get your real location but still be unable to send or receive text messages....or stop one app from sending notifications but allow everything else....ideally you need to be able to specify what needs to be faked per app. I also found various spots where the english text had "shadow" chinese characters behind it.
Finally autostart and background running should be considered seperate when "freezing"....I might have music apps I want to allow to run in background but NOT autostart on bootup......and vice versa I might have an app I want to run on bootup such as changelog droid that grabs the list of changes to apps that have been updated since last boot but NOT allow it to run in background. It looked like app freeze was an all or nothing thing.
Good luck with the app.

Thanks for your suggestions, we've updated a new version apk file in this post. And our developers are heading to solve the problem you've mentioned, configure different 'fake data' for every single app.Maybe you can see that in next version.
Actually when an app is frozen by our tools, autostart and background services can be configured separately.Just click the app you added, and you can see that autostart and services are list separately, moreover every background services can be configured as you want.
If you want some apps not running in background, just try it! And we'll do better!
This app has a lot of potential, so far so good.. I would like to also privacy freeze system apps tho , and also choose fake info specifically for each app, Like this app.. ???

Thanks a lot, freezing system apps and editing fake data for each app are already on our TODO list.
Maybe you can meet with them a few days later.:laugh:
This is a promising application, but is there a way to ignore certain apps? It's annoying to see the red when I know the app that's in the red to be safe.

Well, now, at least internet works while it's on, but i can't see it's effectiveness - websites are full of ads.
What filters are you using? At what countries it's targeted on? Too lazy to check&compare internal filter within /data/data

Just sent you message through app. It's quite dissapointing, that logs will be sent to you without user knowing about it - there's no such info, that logs will be sent automatically.

i found a similar problem as yours, see here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/mlituo
An user complains that vpn app doesn't work after rooting and installing Magisk app.
I think that some system apps (such as if the one responsible for VPNs) can be removed after rooting and the magisk app installation.
