I have been spending a lot of time reading about Android security in this forum and realize I've made mistakes.
With my new nexus 5, I have recently corrected most of them. With my last phone, I'm sad to say that I was asking to give my data away.
Here are my new practices...
1. After rooting, I used Boot Unlocker to re-lock the bootloader.
2. I am running the stock recovery and when I need to flash something or nandroid backup, I flash TWRP temporary.
3. I use Tasker to turn USB Debugging off when I disconnect from my home network.
4. I do not share passwords between apps/websites. I use LastPass to generate unique, random, strong passwords.
5. I use 2 step verification whenever possible.
6. I'm in physical control of my phone whenever I leave my house.
But... I have not paid attention to the permissions my apps ask for. Is there an app that shows a permission, and then list the apps that have that permission? I do have Lookout installed, and it's sister app Add Network Detector and all scan OK, but I'm looking for more.
Also, if anyone has any other recommendations, I'd like to hear them. I'm not a fanatic, but in this age of identity theft, I do want to have my eyes open.

Thank you. I don't want to get into exposed framework, and from what I read, opendroid does not work on stock ROM. I flashed omnirom which has it all built in.

I can only second that. If you refuse to use Xprivacy through installing Xposed Framework first, you'll NEVER get to the core of all settings with any other app. Asking for a "best way to review permissions" here but refusing to do something to get there is like not wanting to die but refusing to eat. In short: Get XPrivacy. You won't regret it, believe me.

I didn't want to get into exposed framework because the reason I own a nexus is to flash custom roms.
On my GN, I used AOKP.
But, you have peaked my interest, and I'm going to give it a try. I was enjoying running ART, which is not available in OmniROM yet. Can you use it with exposed modules?

Well, as far as I know, the main developer @M66B is working hard on it to get it to that state. To make sure and get all the latest and greatest information of support, have a peak at the Official Xprivacy Thread. Also, you should bookmark the Xprivacy Changelog to always know what was changed. And to be honest: I'm happy you like AOKP as much as I do. Always keep it gangsta.

First of all, please don't talk to me like a kid. Even if your english might not be that good, try to keep it in straight forward language and as simple as possible. In order to use Xprivacy, you NEED the Xposed Framework. Both of them are an awesome invention, I even bought Xprivacy. Now, what is your exact problem with the Xposed Framework? You want to control your apps permissions? Well, having the Xposed Framework installed and adding Xprivacy to it, is the BEST and EASIEST way there is. Point made. If you refuse to because your ego is too big to make a NANDROID first and try it out, then please don't bother people with asking any longer. You can probably feel the stress in my "voice"? Your behavior is uncool.

so STFU.
OK. I gave xposed a try and went back to omnirom. Omni has some pretty nice security features right now, but when their new google-free dialer and some of the other mods they are planning come out, it will be the way to go for the security/privacy minded android user like me.
what about luckypatcher to remove permission ? is this apk reliable ?

I would love an app like that, since some games (specifically glu games) all accounts that are rooted get flagged, or they are "unsupported" in hopes of deterring cheaters, but 99% of game hacks are actually modded apk's which dont even need root, and a good portion or rooted users dont even hack or mod game, they do it from a developments point of view. so even though the app dont ask for root, there needs to be a sandbox like app that installs or runs apps in an isolated sandbox that can be rooted (if phone already is) or unrooted as if never rooted Im sure as a rooted app may be able to make something like this, since the android as a hole runs on a VM essentially lol

Never seen this... but I have never run antivirus software on my phones...
Here's why.
False detection. That's right, it's only an update away from notifying you that the Play Store is an unwanted application.
Incompetence... Yeah it can detect something, but can it remove it? I remember when I used to run avast on my XP machine, it would detect the virus but couldn't remove it!
They're bloated. For the most part, they eat away at your battery using cpu cycles every hour or so doing unneeded scans. And also unnecessarily scan safe apps just downloaded from the play store.
And lastly... I don't install any non-market apps, which almost completely forgoes the need for any such software. Sure there's plenty of malware for android, but almost all of it comes from 3rd party app store sites (what tech blogs don't tell you about the increasing number of android malware).
So play it safe and install trusted apps from the play store and you won't have a need for malware detection software.
My 2 cents.
Have you ever heard of any viruses from downloading xda apps or mods?
Sent from a Paranoid Blaze
SuperSU is classified as a PUP because it can update itself and has root access. Its not malware, but it is something that could potentially be used maliciously.
Just like antivirus software for computers. There's always going to be false positives.
I use comodo for my comp and phone I get a heck of a lot less false positives than other av software.
I use avast. Has call block features, anti theft, firewall and a few other nifty things. You can install it as root and it survives ROM flashes. Best for android IMO.

It was avast that raised the flag on superSU. I uninstalled it for the moment, not sure if I'm going to go back to be honest.

Actually, nothing will survive a wipe and flash. If you're rooted, avast does survive factory resets since it can install itself as a system app on ruled phones.

I've just received my fresh new Moto G, and I've been having second thoughts on rooting it. Can anyone convince me on whether or not I should root my phone, thanks!
I voted yes.
But to be honest, you should know for yourself. Do you need root? If not I wouldn't consider rooting. If you don't know, read about what you can do with root!
If you want to root, have a look at the guides and tutorials collection in the Moto G General forum.
If you decided to root, but you have problems (not working): Visit the Modaco Forum Modaco Forum and the topics of PaulOBrien. You'll find more up2date information on his rooting methods there. If you try with superboot, see my post on page 7 in the modaco forum if you have problems.
Happy tinkering
I purchased the International version for a friend of mine who is not technically savvy. I set up the phone and noticed that there was very little customization and bloatware; therefore, I decided to go without root.
As was mentioned a the previous post, you should ask yourself why you need root. If you can't get what you want without root, go ahead and root it.
I'd do it, but I wouldn't bother with custom ROMs when they start to become more abundant for this phone. The software on the Moto G is so close to stock that it's not really worth changing. Root, on the other hand, is pretty nice if only for installing AdAway. I did it pretty much solely for this purpose on the new Moto G I got for my dad's birthday because I know he's not very tech savvy and would likely click on one of the ads in a free version of an app.
Yes....you should only root if any of the above things interest you....if you have a specific reason to root. Otherwise why root.
And a question for you..........should I eat this tuna sandwich?

Maybe, if you're hungry?
Sorry for ot^^
Wait at least 2 weeks to know if you have a defective phone or not, if in 2 weeks you got no problems then consider Root.
Check: screen, camera, USB , Battery...ETC
I say no for now. The whole reason I root phones apart from adaway, is to clear it of crap. The Moto G comes with no crap, and you can always disable installed apps. If you really want the added functionality that root gives then you wouldn't be asking.
So far i have rooted for the following reasons -
Titanium Backup
Xposed Framework
AdFree
Plus it also gives some antivirus software more features/control.
I say if aren't looking to use particular app that needs Root then don't bother.
I voted Yes even though I haven't rooted it yet (because I have to thoroughly test screen, camera, usb battery), here is why:
- Titanium Backup,
- AdFree
- Tasker
- disabling carier
- adding extra fonts
- adding my locale
- ...other screen tweaks that can't be achieved with non root devices

Well, it does include Motorola crap, which I can't disable. And the main reason for rooting is blocking ads, removing unwanted apps and optimizing phone cpu and memoryusage, no custom roms etc.
I will do it sooner or later, I just have to decide, root 4.3 or wait for 4.4.4 (as seems 4.4.2 is a crap).
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I think I'll try to keep it away from root for like a week. Coming from HTC One X, I really miss having AdAway, Xposed, tinted Status Bar, Greenify, and I'm curious to try that MotoGuide and GravityBox though.
Yeah, I'm not gonna do custom ROMs yet, just thinking of rooting it only.

Best answer yet I think!
I like this answer! But seriously, I'd want to know if adaway, greenify, xposed, and gravitybox is worth it for the phone. But I don't know, maybe I'll give a week of staying in stock and see how it goes.

Honestly this phone gets awesome battery life so I don't think greenify would be necessary however I'm with everyone else, I might root my fiancés just to throw adaway on it I personally haven't even rooted my nexus 5 or 7 though and have rooted every other device I've come in contact with. I just think stock android is too nice and it just works without having to worry about force closes and other things that come up with rooting

Rooting does not cause force closes...Rom glitches do...or bad apps or settings.
Without root you can't get rid of ads, debloat or customize and add features with xposed.
But if someone didn't care about any of that ....then yes, no need to root.

I should of been more clear no, rooting does not lead to that but if you go into the realm anything a little experimental or even running Roms like CM you are more than likely going to have issues where you can't always just pick up your phone and not worry about anything. I used to be the flashaholic that flashed Roms and tinkered constantly but if you actually have a life, job, kids you run out of time to deal with that. So, all I'm saying is decide what's more important

There are no custom roms for the S7 USA variants. It's not possible with a locked bootloader. We only have a few modified stock roms. I'm currently rooted and waiting for Xposed so I can finally have some decent performance and battery life.

I'm on an unlocked G930T on AT&T on Nougat and really have not found a reason strong enough to go through the rooting process. The only thing that pushes my buttons is that I can't use TB and can't kill some of the old TMO apps completely. But the phone is speedy, gets me through the day without a charge, and has resources available. I've got a theme I like and have most things white on dark which I like better.
So until root becomes extremely easy and reliable, I'm okay with what I've got.
Hi I'm also on an unlocked version of TMobile using ATT. Are you doing anything specific for better battery life? I went to sleep at 100% and woke up with 87%. I have disable those that can be, I'm on Nougat as well and haven't installed too many apps yet.

Not really, just disabled everything I'm not using. And I use the device maintenance to optimize and clear memory every now and then. And I try not to leave the screen on, etc. The usual stuff. I get a day with no issues. I bought some extra wireless fast chargers on eBay and use them if necessary but really feel like I wasted my money because I just set it on the charger at night and it normally goes all day. But I'm not a real heavy phone user. That's part of it.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have no idea how, but it totally does.. It color coordinates system apps, user added apps and even known bloatware apps, making it easy to decide what to stop.
It's designed specifically for Samsung phones, and is the first app I install since I don't have root anymore.
Worth every penny.
Well from TMo you can get s7 edge for $480 or the flat s7 for $560? On the edge, they have fixed the palm rejection at lease on the coral blue.

Well that's weird. I bought it, tried to install it, and it says I'm rooted or there's some other issue and won't install. Obviously I'm not rooted so I don't know what's up.
After reading some of the later reviews there are many others with the same issue. I'm emailing them to see if there is any resolution.
You might want to try your app to see if it's still working correctly.

I haven't opened the app in months because, why? It just works..
As soon as I open it to check, the license check failed and all my frozen apps reappeared.

Anyway, thanks. And sorry for jinxing you! But it's not all bad news. I ran your Thanks count up to double digits!

Strange. I wonder why it quit working for so many people. They need to fix it for everybody though because their rating on play store is going down quickly.
Hey guys,
now its the time i finaly switch away from samsung to Oneplus for diffrent reasons. I except my new Oneplus 7t Pro next week.
So i used ''Disconnect Pro'' from Sasmung all the time for Adblocking/Tracking blocking in Internet and all system Apps. I guess this will no longer work on the Oneplus because of Knox. So im asking myslef, wich alternatives are out there for Oneplus ? Is Adhell an alternative or is there a smiliar free/pay app like DisconnectPro for Oneplus ? Im searching for an App, that not just block things in Internetbrwoser. In best case, i find something like DisconnectPro for system wide blocking. If there is nothing out, i would use my PerfectPrivacy VPN..not the best soulution, but better than nothing.
Beside of this..i cant wait till my new Device arrives next week :victory:
Blokada will be your friend. It is great
Adguard?
I use paid version and it performs ok.

Do this App blocking only Ads in your Brwoser or in the whole system ? I read description and guess this is just for Brwoser ? And that just for Yandex/Samsung Browser
The one in the play market is for browser only but if you go to adguard.com there's the app I am talking about. It's system wide.

Sounds perfect to me. Exact thing i searched.. thank you very much ! :highfive:
Well you can root the OP7t so if you plan on doing that then just get AdAway.
My suggestion is to forgo all of this stuff and just enable the "private DNS" setting to Adguard's DNS. It takes like 10 seconds, you don't have to install anything, and it gives you system wide adblocking without root... And it doesn't affect any previous DNS settings you may have set up with your phone and home modem/router. I don't know why this isn't talked about more.
Just go to "Settings/WiFi & Internet/Private DNS", and type out the DNS as I have here in the screenshot. No rebooting required.

Yeah, one of many reasons to buy this Device. I maybe Plan to, maybe not. I must see if i really need it, but if yes, AdAway will be for sure the first thing i install. Used AdAway long time on my (rooted)Samsung Devices, in my opinion is this one of the best Apps to do this Job systemwide.

Hey & welcome to XDA ! :highfive:
Its not my OP but to answer your question. I cant remember that you cant post a new thread as a new member. Maybe your Browser/Addons are not working correct or something is blocked wich is needed to post ?! Im not sure, as you can see i have a few days on XDA. If you still cant post i would recommend to you to write to an Moderator or Admin with your issue. Or maybe create yourself a new account just for testing reasons if this problem still presits for you.
Good luck !
You're gonna miss the hell out of the AOD and notification system that Samsung offered. I HATE my OP 7 pro due to these factors. For real world use it's a PIA truly

Know what you mean but guess what ? In the Enddays of my Samsungtime here and now, i dont use AoD or the wohle notification system. I just set up that my apps send me a classic ping ton when a message arrives. So this saves in case of Samsung a few % Battery over the Day. Not too much, but a bit. With this, i dont just need a notification LED. But guess that is something, that everone must see for himself, if this way is good and right to you. For me, it is. Was a big AoD Fan at the beginning, was just a cool feature, but over the time, i see no benefits for me.
