Dear XDA users,
I am looking to find a really secure rom. I dont want to run OEM corrupted roms which do gods knows what. I have googled for a good bit and I have found some areas which are interesting from a security perspective. However, there does not seem to be a holy grail when it comes to a secure rom at the moment. Paranoid Rom sounded oh so promising but has no additional security related features. Cyanogenmod is a nice custom rom with root disabled by default, which is a great improvement and makes it interesting as a secured non-OEM rom. You also have the NSA developed SE Android rom which you need to compile yourself but comes with a great list of additional features.
Can anyone recommend me a rom which is build to be secure?
Also lets have a discussion on features which you would like to have in a secure rom:
Hidden-TrueCrypt partition on SD card.
Fully encrypted memory
Password protected recovery
Tor network enabler with apps for the various anon services on onion networks (such as torchat, onionmail, etc.)
Location scrambler
Strict firewall with easy enable/disable mode
Remote lock-down
First question. Why?! Are you a spy or something?! There's nothing wrong with standard ROMs. There are antitheft apps available that can remote wipe the entire device including SD card if its ever lost or stolen. I can't think of any reason why you need that level of security on your device.
I believe a truecrypt partition can be mounted on the SDcard. As far as hiding it goes, I'm not sure.
As far as password protecting recovery, there's no tweak/hack for it. I understand the security concern with someone meddling with your phone and flashing a rom but it's called 'recovery' for a reason.
I believe tor is available for Android.
You can spoof your location with several apps. Wouldn't hurt to google it.
Cerberus can remotely lock-down your phone, retrieve contacts/call logs from a sim, etc...
Try compiling your own rom and cater it to your needs.
Whoa, why would you need that much security? I do suggest creation of your own Rom as mentioned this way all you're security needs can be met.

Thanks for all the replies. I am not a spy rather i just want to be secure. I just don't like the idea of my information being used for reasons i do not choice it to be used for. I don't want my carrier to see which websites i visit on my phone, which locations i visit, which people i contact. I just want my carrier to provide me access to the net and ensure that i am available for calls.
Currently i run ARHD with the following options/apps:
sim card password protected (3 login chances)
memory and SD card password protected (8 login chances)
TOR network connection
Orweb
I would like to have a password protected recovery, truecrypt based security (with hidden partition if possible), root disabled, firewall, full GPS enable disable, spoofing options, and more cool stuff. I don't think i would like to compile my own roms. If someone wants to jump on this and help me create a hardened android ROM it would be awesome.
My name is Bond. James Bond.
To answer your question no you cannot have that kinda ROM here. Root disabled?? pretty much every ROM here has it enabled. GPS can be disabled with one click. I'd suggest SIM lock through phones security settings, face lock for apps pro from the market and a nice cold beer to make you less paranoid. No offence but not even presidents want that much security.. Its a phone..

Your network provider is never going to know you use recovery or that you can gain access to your system partitions. They're not going to know you use root apps or that you have root access either. firewall you can obtain via the avast antivirus app in the market.
And I don't think you'll ever be able to cover your tracks when it comes to hiding who you call and text. The network company holds records of all calls and texts for billing purposes and only relase these in case of police investigations, with your permission. You can turn off your GPS, but you can still be located using the cell towers, which you need for reception, so you can't hide yourself completely. If you want internet access with out this just use wifi with a vpn or other such ip hider/rerouter and remove the sim card all together.
There is genuinely no need for this level of security on your phone. Like I said in my last post, if your phone is lost or stolen, you can always remote wipe your device so no one will know what you had on it, it'll just be a shiny brick.

And Carrier IQ is not in any custom roms, and even if it was it can be easily deleted.
Cyanogen most certainly does NOT have root access disabled by default. Half the features on it wouldnt work without root access.
If you really need that kind of security the best answer is to not do whatever you need that kind of security for on your phone. Use another device.
Also, invest in a high quality tin foil hat.

Hi,
First, not even 1% care about security and privacy in thiers phones. People just having fun not knowing what data is being leaked from thier phones.
I know what you mean, if you want to have secure ROM, use CyanogenMod and patch it with autopatcher - PDroid2.0, then block almost all permission to all apps (including system) and this will give you the best privacy. Also don't use gaps and remove bluetooth if you don't use it.
Use K-Mail with APG to encrypt your emails, use Ostel to make anonymous calls, use Tor as a browser.
I think CyanogenMod9 for Sensation has already Pdroid patch merged. I suggest it over CM10 as is more stable and faster.
Below are links that may be useful for you.

Thank you! This is the only helpful reply in a thread full of morons.
I'm in the same boat
I would like something similar. I know we have remote wipe, etc. However I would like to know that if I loose my device, the only thing I am loosing would be the device. Currently I am using ARHD 50.0. I can not get the local storage to encrypt. The Micro SD however can be encyrpted. So I am working to try and install all the apps I need, then move them to the microSD and force them to write data there instead of the default location.
It is a bit strange that this seems to not work well at all.
Android is rather secure. Every non-system runs in its own sandbox.
Follow these steps to get you phone really secure:
1. Encrypt internal storage as well as sdcard.
2. Go S-ON. Relock your device.
3. Remove custom recovery after ROM installation. Otherwise encryption can be broken. Especially if you're scared of NSA.
4. Use superuser to remove all apps you don't need, then disable superuser.
5. Disable ADB. Both USB and wireless.
Any "trusted" ROM capable of this is secure.
Happy to help.

You need to use a ROM that supports it. I use ViperS 5.1.0 (Vipers 4 also supports this).
Not that because SD card encryption, other cards that you put into your phone will be read only until you decrypt external storage
Hi guys & girls,
I have a Desire HD, not a sensation smartphone, however maybe I can add helpful Info here.
I am just exploring the activity on all smartphones, so I can discover which devices have the most developers, people and support now =D
Which Smartphones have the most Developers and Users now, by the way? Thanks
Well, the Best Secure Rom, I think is only the Guardian Rom.
That Rom is develloped just with the propose to be most secure, emphatize on just security as a priority, after all the NSA & government & Intelligency Agencies Surveillance.
Era Post-Edward Snowden =D
I think the name of the great Developer is "x942".
The problem is, He is just one Develloper working on that, so not so fast developing and very few devices are supported.
(I think only Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Galaxy S2, not certain)
He has other security projects also, like "Secdroid" and his hardened kernel.
Second to "Guardian ROM" maybe:
BlackPhone
(But i think for while not so worth because all software and apps is just 3rd party apps opensource that we can install too on our smartphone. And not worth spend 600 euros/dollars i think. But is very good and opensource hardware).
CryptoPhone is a security project on Germany/EU too, based on era Post-Snowden.
But just a smartphone based on Galaxy S2 with software we can install by our methods too =)
I think the best and most secure but simultaneous with very strong developing/support/updates for future proof is really CyanogenMod.
But we need to deposit our trust on them still, even now that they are now a Company, not anymore opensource community like on old early days, when Cyanogen started =)
The best is Guardian ROM.
However just one great develloper can not support many devices and long and faster develloping like CyanogenMod as a fact.
About software and apps we have many:
But the popular/best are:
All apps of "TheGuardianProject" site like:
Orbot; Orweb; GPG; ChatSecure (Gibberbot); Ostel; Pixlknot; Obscura Cam; and so on...
Whisper Security apps:
RedPhone; TextSecure (WhisperPush on Cyanogen);
SilentCircle apps se can trust but i think are Paid.
Tor (orbot) , I2P, and MacChanger (MacMan, etc...) apps for Anonymity.
SecDroid as i said.
PDroid (but with kitkat i think se do not need anymore).
AfWall+ (Sucessor and total opensource of DroidWall, linux iptables firewall).
WiFi Protector (by Gurkedev, opensource wireless that protect us from Arp poisoning, MITM attacks like droidsheep, faceniff, other sniffers and packets captures...)
AdAway (opensource blockers of adware, spyware ads and popups)
Virustotal app =D
KeePassDroid (Password manager protected with encryption data base).
K-9 Mail with APG (opensource email with open PGP implementation).
And for TrueCrypt similar encryption and containers i think exist many apps already on market, but do not know which is the best yet.
EncFS is good also.
One great market just with opensource apps and a must have is
F-Droid.
If you want use your data connection with a VPN (Virtual Private Network) on my researches i discover and read some of the best are:
Free - > SpotFlux; HotSpot Shield; CyberGhost; SecurityKiss; HideMan; ...
Now the Best ones are Paid.
Some of the best ones:
MullVad
iVPN
NordVPN
TorGuard
Proxy.sh
BolehVPN
AirVPN
And the Countries with the Best Privacy Laws and Protection are:
Iceland ; Norway ; Romania ; Serbia ; Sweden ; Swiderland ; Luxenbourg ; Panama ; Seichelles ; Taiwan ; Hong Kong ; Malaysia ; ...
Well, hope I can help with something, and please if anyone know more Info about Security, Privacy & Anonymity tell also, and let all us know more knowledge =)
Cheers, Guys & Girls.
Hi
I have a rooted agm Rock V5, i rooted it with a root zip provided in this site, and as third party applications, i installed dSploit, Anti from Zimperium, and droidSheep.
yesterday someone tried to log into my Facebook account, which i have synced in my smartphone. and i immediately changed my password.
just for the sake of completeness, i hav installed an anti-virus in my smart, the avast mobile security, and it detected 6 problems, all relating to dSploit, Droidsheep, and anti. : android Dploit A, android anti-c, android hackTool D, and several others, all related to these three packages.. :Anti, from Zimperium which is a pen testing application, droidsheep, and dSploit.
I ask now, are these warnings normal...? has my smartphone been compromised..? I have also ran the carrier IQ detection tool, and no rootkit has been detected...
What should i do... ?

I just run them for fun, to see wether my own laptop is secure, I am using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 in my lappy...
But i mena, aren´t these applications supposed to be secure..? I am not talking about Anti, from Zimperium, deemed as a "pen-tester" tolkit, closed source, but things such as dsploit and droidsheep are compromised..?? I thought they were open source, and as such, highly unlikely to hide a rootkit or a Virus..

I think you should go through following link
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=123133.0
I searched for dSploit error & I feel that those apps need some more scrutiny.
Yesterday after updating The Guardian (beta) app, I got a message that the app contains a virus and it should be removed immediately - so I did.
Today, I tried to figure out why, as I don't install anything outside playstore; what I found out was that, despite thinking that I have disabled it, Avast (which lives somewhere inside phone manager) checks every app upon installation. Running a scan showed, to my surprise, that I have another 4 apps with different virii!
Long story sort, by updating virus definitions from about one month ago to the most recent version, it doesn't detect any virus anymore.
Having said that, how can I permanently disable it? It is ridiculous and probably a security fail that a system app that is not controlled by Huawei or Google can download and run code on the phone.
Anyone else experienced the same?

and antivirus apps of Android are not much effective scanners when compared to internet antivirus PC software, so, you will be having a very low chance of knowing any presence of a serious virus like ransomware
and if you could find out that the file is infectious, off course, you can delete the file or can do something about it so that it won't affect any PC, if you accidentally forward it to someone
Well , u will also see poor results if the last antivirus definitions updated are too old.
Hello,
Did anyone read the post? I am talking about the embedded antivirus that exists in this particular phone's firmware, which is powered by Avast. I didn't install it myself.
As for viruses: a lot of inaccuracies in the posts as well. Linux can get "viruses" - a better term would be malware. Android, especially the rooted ones, can also get malware that can persist reboots and in some cases even flashes. However, the kind of malware this particular antivirus catches is mostly in terms of spyware - the use of a toolkit that might try to steal sensitive data from your phone.
In any case, I was talking about a malfunction of this antivirus - which I cannot remove or disable - and I was wondering if anyone else witnessed anything similar. Now, if you don't even know that you have a version of Avast on your phone.. well.. that's a different story.
Okay so ive been battling this for sometime. I'm starting to get a little more knowledgeable but still don't know what to do with all this.I experienced this first back in 2015 then I completely made a switch. Well now I'm back to same issues.
The problems I'm experiencing is it's happening on all the devices I have. The phone I'm on now bought brand new from metropcs. and not even a day 30minutes later I get an update for the phone. I new not to install or download. But it inventively did. Now it's sitting on my storage wanting me to move files to root.
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR. NON OF MY DEVICES ARE ROOTED.
to make this short. My devices seem to have a Bluetooth admin. And connects to any Bluetooth device without me knowing.
So far from what I see chromium and stage fright is a big part of what I'm seeing.
I'm attaching some pictures to give more detail look. And it's not just my Android devices it's my Xbox one S as well.
looking to completely remove. I'm not trying to waste money on switching networks or completly going Mia.
Fast responses please.

I'm no expert but I'm struggling to see your exact issue you seem to think you have, is it just t your Bluetooth is switching on. All those licences, security certs, file locations etc look normal to me (without checking numbers or being able to compare to same phone os etc) though I have disabled many of those certs eg the Turkish ones etc & my Bluetooth files are different but I can find ref hill those locations online eg Xieomi phones
You appear to have a ZTE, please give model number and current OS & rev (must be stock I suppose). ZTE was found with a backdoor in older phones, sending data to China, so it's possible, & some Chinese phones also update their apps without notification. But as you say your whole network appears compromised so the source may be something else, like your router/modem, or Bluetooth as you think (though some apps require Bluetooth admin permission legitimately, you can disable it as an Admin). Tell us what behaviors you are seeing that you believe are malicious. New phone update soon after you turn on is quite common, as I'm sure you know.
When I had a quick look at your log it did have a lot of activity going to the US DOD, would you expect this, as well as the usual google & Facebook connections. Though (perhaps) strangely also to a server from a small marketing company here in Australia, but I'm no expert even if I looked at your log line by line I wouldn't understand it all.
Ref his other post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/security-global-family-credientals-t3665851
Things to try. Run a reputable antivirus. Boot into safe mode, so only system apps run, is it still happening? Can you turn off anything that is listed as a device admin? Try run a root checker app. Even if it all comes back negative you may still have a problem as a port may already have been opened and malicious app self deleted or something. Use an app like Fing to see if any device you don't recognise are connected to your network.
You may be able to block some activity if it's not going through root with a firewall eg NetGuard no root firewall, start with everything blocked.
Above are just some general hints, without knowing specifics I can only suggest you backup any stuff you want to keep then factory reset everything & change ALL passwords to strong ones (no good just adding a number on the end of your old ones!), better still reflash all firmware (updates if available) to overwrite everything. This incl your internet access points eg router, and only reconnect to the net/networks after you have done them all (one at a time preferably then you may be able to identify source of problems)
That turned out a lot longer than I intended!

I don't have that phone so can't really tell what is a suspect app or not, especially just from screen shots.
Here use this app to run on demand scans against the virustotal database (this is not an "antivirus app" like Avast so offers no protection, it only scans apps on demand, so you should run a good antivirus also)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funnycat.virustotal
it should flag any suspect apps and you can submit any unknown ones you are worried about.

sometimes virustotal will have 2 or 3 antiivirus companies flag a file, these are probably false positives so probably nothing to worry about (though could just be a new submission, other companies should soon update if real malicious code, check back in a day or two). If lots of companies flag an apk then you haven a problem.
It looks like you have a problem whit overlays (unless it's an app your phone company installs for that function, not sure what you mean). You should install a proper antivirus app like Avast, malwarebytes etc as a first step, hopefully it can remove malicious apk

Doesn't matter, encrypting phone only protects unauthorised access to your data. Once it is unlocked anyone can view your stuff. And once a malicious app is on your system it can shall read all your data even if you had encrypted it as it's unencrypted when you use it

If lots of companies flag an apk then you haven a problem.
It looks like you have a problem whit overlays (unless it's an app your phone company installs for that function). You should install a proper antivirus app like Avast, malwarebytes etc as a first step, hopefully it can remove malicious apk

Doesn't matter, encrypting phone only protects unauthorised access to your data. Once it is unlocked anyone can view your stuff. And once a malicious app is on your system it can shall read all your data even if you had encrypted it as it's unencrypted when you use it

Now I'm not stupid, this is facts. I just need defined and solution!!!
No these are normal library files. Stagefright "the malicious exploits" were called this as it was the stagefright framework it exploited. Everyone has these files, here are mine below.
You need to use tools like antivirus to identify bad files but even that is no guarantee as there is the possibility the original malicious file could have self deleted and, for example, just left open ports which would not be found as a "virus" but still allow remote access to your device.
If you cannot identify the actual exploit on your phone then the best solution is probably to just reflash the stock rom as this will wipe & overwrite everything. But if a malicious file is left on your SD card or another networked device you could soon be infected/compromised again. That is why I said before if you can't identify the source of your infection you really need to factory reset or reinstall all OS on all devices affected including your home router etc (or maybe it's your work or public network) and change all passwords.

I'm on a video bridge network I got the direct TV setup with 2 wireless setups. Both secure from what I know.

These are for encryption of your connection, not your phone

I'm no coding/security guru, but I have worked on telecoms, military electronics, etc but my coding & network security knowledge is limited.
I would run this app Fing to check your local network, are there any unknown devices connected?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing
note: this only finds currently connected devices, so you'd want to do this several times & especially when you see suspect behavior.
Also check for open ports, easiest way is probably this site, it will scan the first 1000 ports or so (select all)
https://www.grc.com/
go to shields up
but you really need to scan ALL possible ports with a tool like Zenmap (for PC) if you think you are compromised
https://nmap.org/zenmap/
However it's not clear to me if you ever installed a proper antivirus and whether it found and deleted anything? Virustotal seemed to find some suspect apks, I had a quick look at Trendmicro database but it didn't list details of the one it found in your screenshot, but the fact some of those antivirus companies called the suspect apk names with "joke" in it may suggest it's just a joke app your mate has installed, though probably not a joke app if your other devices are really also compromised, from memory there is also real malware with that name which may be able to infect other devices. Running a proper antivirus should easily find and clean any "joke" app on your phone & hopefully any real malware. If you've done this and still seeing indications you are compromised then do what I suggested above. (Also repeat malware checks on other devices and removable storage media)
You should also log into your router as admin and check settings, are you using a secure router password? Is firmware up to date. Is firewall set up correctly? Also close any open ports that you don't use. Turn off remote admin, if router has it. Etc etc what do your router logs show (turn on more detailed logging if necessary) Factory reset or reinstall firmware if you think changes have been made to your router by someone else.
Hi I am having same issues. Exact same behaviors regardless of new phones new carrier and all accounts being unconnected in name. Google etc. This is extreme. Its via bluetooth I agree something with esims or virtual sims for use of wifi access and or signal piracy for media. The DOD files are also something I am familier with seeing. Code Aurora was also a govt project way back. Its Interesting thst I have Verizon files loading on at & t phones and sprint loading on Verizon. Whatever this is has managed to infiltrate my computers as well. Its relentless. Its impressive and sophisticated. Please please help.

I'm having the same issmy ues. Did anyone ever resolve or figure out what is happening? I think I'm under investigation by the DOD and they own my devices. My uploads/downloads are blocked, internet searches filtered, pics/screenshots of evidence deleted off my phone, etc.
Nokia claims that the phones made by this company contain pure Android software but:
Nokia answers what are dozens of unknown software for?
com.trustsonic.teeservive
smart-divert
com.qti.xdivert
face
com.wos.face.service
sensory
com.sensory.datalogging.dataloggingService
All of these files are systematic
They have access to the phone and cannot be deleted...

A lot of phones do contain tracker.
If you don't want that, you need to root your device and remove those apps or you have to flash a custom rom.
Even though a company ships with "pure" Android, they do customize it in regard of looks, feels, features...
For that, they also have to install their apps.
If you want to check how many (and which) permissions those apps can request (android os by far doesn't show them all) and possibly use, you could check it with ClassyShark3xodus which is an offline Android app. With that very same app you can also check for trackers that the app may have.
Playstore for example has 228 permissions if I remember right.
Btw.: Hardware and software isn't the same. Hardware is the thing you can actually touch, software is the thing that you cannot touch.
