Android Ultimate Guides!
Privacy and Security
So here you can find some useful tips which I can personally can give you. You can find a more advanced guides if you look in the internet but I just want to keep it simple for casual and normal users.
Lets get started:
Prefer Android ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though. Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store which can have access to Play Store apps.
Check the Privacy and Security section in my Collection to find useful apps to use.
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Apps, Programs & Stuff. Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted.
Always download and install Apps, Programs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Avoid using Cracked Apps, Programs & Stuff, especially your Windows OS should be clean. There are a lot of websites you can get cheap keys, around ~10$, for Official Windows & Office, no need to mess with crack generators and all these. Keep in mind the most popular programs you may want to get cracked, are more highly possible to contain virus/malware/spyware.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with εxodus.
Use the default Windows Security & Malwarebytes & Virus Total to scan your files whenever you want, prefered before open or install them.
Use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser, if it doesn't have it build-in like Brave. Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
Optional, you can also use the tool ShutUP10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services. Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to your cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts and DO-NOT-SHARE them. Use open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC or Bitwarden for Desktop and KeePassDX or Bitwarden for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure.
enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts. You can use apps like KeePassXC for Dekstop which also support TOTP and Aegis Authenticator in Android.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source. Especially fake emails from "Banks" which redirect you to fake enviorment to put your password -Keep in mind no Bank will ever ask you anything like that-.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with services like SimpleLogin which is open source.
Check if your email or your phone number have been breached with services like Have I Been Pwned or Firefox Monitor.

Amd Ryzen/Intel Fastboot Fix
Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
1. Install your device Fastboot Drivers, at Device Manager in PC while your device is connected in Fastboot mode.
2. Download this .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
3. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
4. Use USB Hub.
5. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
6. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers or Intel Chipset Drivers.
Check the steps an another user did to make it work here.
If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System which is more likely to work.

Hi,
I didn't had time to take a deep look to the app. Seems interesting app.
As far as I can see the app needs root for most of it's functions to work plus it's closed source. I would prefer to include apps that most of their functions work without the need of root and also be open source especially when it comes to "root", for security reasons since it has access to root privileges.
Also as a suggestion for your OP, it would be nice if you separated the Root with Non Root features, because I was kinda lost and confused when looking the features all together. So the user to find fast what non root features will get.
I've added the app in Utilities & System > Miscellaneous.
Thanks.

Thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate it.
All my similar threads have colours, emojis, sections and are bold for better visibility in the eye of reader and ofc to be organized.
I believe it would be a chaos otherwise.
But I am still open to any suggestion if I can improve it somehow.
Thanks again, I hope people to find useful informations and good apps into this thread. I really enjoy to help and when people find useful my threads, that gives me motivation to keep on.
