PikaPika App​An app for kids that turns any Android smartphone into a kid safe device with a single tap. Kids cannot access smartphone apps and data and remain in the app interface even if the phone is rebooted or locked.
The app has several features that keeps the digital interaction of kids secure and free of malicious content.
Feature Highlights:
Password protected app exit and settings
Options to select appropriate apps for kids and allow access to them
Periodic report on kids’ digital performance, screen time monitoring and top apps
Parents can set screen time limit for kids
Notifications are blocked while the app is running
Parents can monitor kids’ smartphone usage remotely

Features in detail
PikaPika app offers the following features for users.
Password protected app exit and settings: PikaPika App ensures that kids do not have access to unauthorized smartphone data and settings. This is accomplished by providing a password-protected app exit and settings on the app, thus kids won’t be able to exit the app and only parents can do it. Even when the phone is locked and unlocked user will still be in the app.
App Selection: Parents can select and provide access to the apps pre-installed on their smartphones to their kids on PikaPika. This gives kids ease of access to vital and essential apps on the smartphone. The allowed apps appear on the App home screen.
Periodic Report Card: The app offers a periodic report card to parents on smartphone usage of kids. The detailed report gives information about the total screen time of kids along with the activities that kids were involved in. The report also gives details about the apps used by kids apart from PikaPika.
Screen Time Limit: Parents can set screen time limits for every app accessible on PikaPika App. This gives parents unprecedented control over their kids’ smartphone usage even when they are not around.
Notification Block: Notifications are completely blocked while PikaPika App is running. This implies that kids cannot access other functionality of smartphone thus smartphone data along with settings remains safe.
Blocked in-app purchases: Kids cannot make in-app purchases while using PikaPika App. Also if parents have authorized use of certain apps on smartphones - in- app purchases remain blocked!
Parental Remote Monitoring: Parental remote monitoring allows parents to monitor kids’ smartphone and tablet use even if they are using a separate device. Parents need to install PikaParent app on their device and login using the same credentials used for PikaPika App.
Parents can remotely set screen time limits, view report card and allow and disallow access to apps on kids’ devices.

Monitordroid allows you to remotely access and manage multiple Android devices from a web browser anytime, anywhere. No rooting required.
We are proud to announce that Monitordroid is finally out of beta!
Our code is open source. You can find it here: https://github.com/tyler124
We appreciate all open source contributions. Thank you in advance. Please contact [email protected] about any open source questions.
Our website: https://www.monitordroid.com
Current Features
Monitordroid is versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes including
1. Remote Administration of your own devices.
2. Theft protection for your devices.
3. Parental Control software for monitoring children which you have legal custody of and are under age 18.
4. Employee tracking software for company owned devices.
How it works
Sign up for an account on our website
Download the Monitordroid app onto the device from the Play Store. You can find it by clicking here
Login to your account to start managing your devices. Please remember to send us your suggestions, comments, and questions.

How we started:
We noticed a while back that there was a lack of quality software available that allowed users to remotely access and manage multiple Android devices.
There are great apps such as Mobizen and Airdroid available, but they are mostly designed only to support a single device and are always running in the background, creating an obvious icon in the device’s notification bar and running up battery and data use. Then there is software like mSpy and WebWatcher, which have expensive monthly subscriptions, are unstable, and don’t create a real time connection with the device. They don’t give the control that users want.
So we set out to create Monitordroid, a dedicated commercial-grade remote access and management tool for Android.
The software is also open source and capable of being used completely free of charge if you are able to set up a web server and have a little experience with Android programming.
Monitordroid is designed from the ground up to be fundamentally different than any other remote administration software for Android. It does not use sockets, SMS, or XMPP to send commands to devices, all of which have been proven unstable or slow.
The software was developed from the very beginning to be incredibly stable and crash-resistant, so that once you install it on a device you never have to worry about doing so again.
Monitordroid is designed in a way that it is only run on the mobile device when a user sends it commands through the web application. For this reason, network usage and battery consumption are nearly non-existent.
Free Open-Source Installation:
To use Monitordroid free of charge, you're going to have to have your own server with PHP 5.0+ and MySQL. If you want to run Monitordroid on your local machine, software like XAMPP will work fine. After that, you can download the source code and make a few small modifications to configure the mobile application to connect to your server. Read more detailed instructions on how to setup your own (free) server in the readme.md file at:
https://github.com/tyler124/Monitordroid-Web-Application
When your server is ready, you can follow the instructions in the readme.md file for setting up the mobile app at:
https://github.com/tyler124/Monitordroid

thanks bro :fingers-crossed:
This is awesome! Will use this :good:
How do i get the app or install this?
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
not available for my "Nexus 7" (It is really a Kindle Fire with a build.prop MOD), can I download an apk from somewhere?
Any plans on screen casting?
Or it's not even possible
app is on play store
Monitordroid 1.1 APK can be found at:

Afraid any features like screenshots or screencasting would require having a rooted device, which I'm not actively developing towards.
If anyone wants to contribute root-only features to the source though... :good:
Is there a limit on the number of devices that you can register to one account?
EDIT: also, there is a fine line between being useful and being useful to the point of being considered malware. DenDroid and other RAT applications have gotten huge amounts of bad press recently becuase of the functionality that they posess and the possibility of being installed without users knowledge by being packaged in other applications.
Do you have any plans in place to stop your application getting a bad name for itself? Or to stop it from being used for these kinds of purposes?
Perhaps by enforcing a manual registration process on the phone itself.
(I just want to make clear I am not, in any way, accusing this application of any sort of nefarious tasks)
EDIT2: I found the answer to my first question in your FAQ.
How many devices can I control with a single Monitordroid account?
During beta testing, Monitordroid limits users to a total of 10 devices per account. In the future, new accounts will most likely be limited to 5 devices at first, with the option to purchase more. In that case, customers who purchase in beta will still retain their 10 device maximum.

re monitoroid
Love to play with this, can it be set up on my own web server, rather than local wamp, or it needs access to android SDK files, which I guess could be done server side, just got too many other little projects on now to start trying to learn all that, I'll lock in a beta trial from your server for now, and play around on wamp when ibget a chance, then think about running off my web server, more practical in the long run, but for 10 bucks could just let you guys do all the heavy lifting, but lose a bit of full control... Good luck with the project. Could be a winner longterm
not sure if I am missing anything here, but isn't Webkey a better option with more functions and completely free?

Webkey user here. I was disappointed about not seeing remote screen view and control. But yes this requires root.
I respect not putting in root features but this is the only real feature i use of webkey.

Yes, at first I was conflicted about calling it a Remote Administration Tool due to the malicious reputation of similar tools even though that's what it really is. However, Monitordroid does require physical access to the device unlike other tools designed to be malicious which can be binded to another application's APK and spread through an app store.

The Application is currently in a beta state with more standard features to be added soon. The application is also open-source with a good, stable foundation for server-device communication, so if someone wanted to contribute root-only features to the source I would happily be in support of that.
I may eventually develop root-only features myself, but for now i'm more focused on developing features that can be used on any device.
sounds good, downloading

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-convoy-geographic-intelligence-t3348616/page2
The not loosing your group when somewhere unkwown is pretty interesting.
My little report to this beautiful app:
1. Not available in German Play Store
2. Phone verification only for US and Canadian phone numbers only
3. Activities: Sync Phone contacts does not seem to work
Have shouted my first message already 4 times
4. Administrative accounts: after setting an account up and after the pop up that the other comrade can log on with the new credentials, the comrade does not show in administrative accounts, so for now I would have to run an external list to keep track of who I set it up for
5. My comrade cannot see me even though I turned the toggles all on green, she did the same and I find her no problem
6. Scanning a comrade bar code does not work, I get the message that an error occurred with my camera and I may have to restart. However camera works fine in other apps also the ones that use barcode scans
7. Where can I see which version I've got?
8. One of the accounts I'm connected with has not updated since 18 hours even though the phone is on.
9. An administered account can't see an administrator, is that correct?
Could you provide a direct download of the apk, so I can be certain to always have the latest version, even though I've have it installed I can't get updates from Google Play Store.
Will report later after testing a bit more, but all in all its a wonderful app.
Thanks.

Discussion : Android Oreo (Go edition) Related Development

Google has made public the first release of Android Go—the optimized version of Android for low-end phones targeted toward developing markets, which was announced in May at I/O 2017. Rather than let OEMs stick to outdated Android versions when shipping budget phones, Android Go brings a full, up-to-date experience for devices which ship with 512MB or 1GB RAM.
Introducing Android Oreo (Go edition) with the release of Android 8.1

Since Android’s creation, Google's mission has been to bring the power of computing to everyone. As a global operating system, Android has grown to more than 2 billion active devices around the world, with more users in India than the U.S.
To make sure billions more people can get access to computing, it’s important that entry-level devices are fully functioning smartphones that can browse the web and use apps. At Google I/O this year, Google gave an early look at a project they called “Android Go” to make this possible. Google is excited to announce that this software experience—Android Oreo (Go edition)—is ready, and launching as a part of the Android 8.1 released Today.
Android Oreo devices with 512MB to 1GB of memory will come with the all the Go optimizations. This Android Oreo (Go edition) experience is made up of three key components:​
Operating System: Performance and storage improvements to the OS with data management features and security benefits built-in.
Google Apps: A new set of Google apps, designed to be lighter and relevant to the unique needs of people who are coming online for the first time.
Google Play Store: A tuned version of the Google Play Store that allows you to download any app, but also highlights the apps designed to work best on your device.
Go big with faster performance, more storage, data management, and security​
Google have enhanced Android Oreo (Go edition) for speed and reliability on entry-level devices, which means the average app is now 15 percent faster on devices running Android Oreo (Go edition). There are many of these kinds of optimizations—and they really add up. If all entry level Android devices launched apps 15 percent faster, that would save the world a cumulative one million hours of time—every day!
It’s common for entry level devices to have very little storage space available once you account for the size of the OS and the preinstalled apps. This can be frustrating for people who want more space for their music, apps, and photos. So, Google have optimized Android Oreo (Go edition) and enhanced their preinstalled Google apps to take up 50 percent less space. The net result is that it have doubled the amount of available storage on entry-level devices.
Devices running Android Oreo (Go edition) also come with Google’s data saver features turned on by default. For example, Data Saver in Chrome saves the average user more than 600MB of data per year. You can also manage which apps can use background data with our built-in data saver feature, giving you more control over how your data is used.
Android Oreo is the most secure version of Android yet, so when you buy an Android Oreo (Go edition) device, you’ll be getting all the same security features. And of course all devices with Android Oreo (Go edition) get Google Play Protect built-in. Google Play Protect continuously works to keep your device, data and apps safe. It scans your app installs, even when you’re offline, no matter where you downloaded them from.
Go with Google
Google have redesigned many of their popular Google apps to address local needs. Preinstalled on Android Oreo (Go edition) devices, this set of optimized apps includes Google Go, Google Assistant Go, YouTube Go, Google Maps Go, Gmail Go, Gboard, Google Play, Chrome, and the new Files Go app by Google.
With their new and reimagined Google apps, they have focused on making them not only smaller, but smooth and fast too. For example, Google Go—a new app to find the information you want—optimizes data by up to 40 percent, weighs less than 5MB in size, and makes it faster to find popular and trending information with a simple, tappable interface. And with the Google Assistant for Android (Go edition), you can quickly send messages, make calls, set alarms, and more with your voice and a single touch of the screen.
Google's storage-saving features extend beyond the OS to a new file-management app by Google—Files Go—which helps you clean up space and stay organized. Whether it’s recommendations for removing spam, duplicate images or unused apps from your phone, Files Go is the perfect complement to the storage-maximizing features of Android Oreo (Go edition).
Go Play
In the Play Store, you can download any app, and Google have also created a new section that recommends popular apps that are tuned to run well on entry-level devices.
They have been thrilled to see that many of Google's partners are using their building for billions guidelines to either optimize their existing app or create a new app to run well on entry-level devices, in the hopes of bringing their experiences to billions of new smartphone users.
Ready. Set. Go.
With the launch of Android Oreo (Go edition) in Android 8.1, partners will soon be able to ship this new release on their entry-level devices around the world. Google said they can’t wait for their partners’ devices to hit shelves in the coming months.
And if you’re a developer, let's build for the next billion together.​

[App][4.0+] Privacy Helper

Educating users about the dangers of app permissions
Introduction
Data privacy is one of the most hotly-discussed topics in the digital world today. Many developers have made an effort to help increase the security of the user's data, however code is not perfect.
Currently, it is far too easy for users to enable permissions that will then potentially allow adversaries to uniquely identify the user and hence compromise their privacy.
What Privacy Helper brings is a simple, easy-to-use educational app with that leverages the mobile platform to inform and demonstrate effectively and interactively.
Features
Simple privacy quiz to test the user's privacy knowledge
Guide on data privacy, and the problem with Android
Guides on disabling permissions, unused apps, and other mitigations
Simple map demonstration of location tracking
List of dangerous permissions used by popular Android applications
Guide on Open Source app alternatives
List of alternative resources to help the user increase their knowledge
Sharing with popular platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and more

If you have any features you'll love to see, just be sure to mention me on this thread and provide a clear description on what you want. If you have a gitlab account, feel free to create an issue and I'll work my best to arrange something
About myself, motivation and more
About myself
Hi there My name is Joshua Lay and I’m a computer science student at Monash University. I’m mostly known for my experience in tweaking mobile Linux kernels such as for the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy S5. I have recently gained interest in the mobile app development field, and so I started off by creating the Privacy Helper Android app.
Motivation
Before I picked up mobile app development studies, I've always had the idea to create an app that would effectively spread my knowledge about app privacy and security to a wider audience. I was further motivated by guides such as PrivacyTools.io and Prism Break providing a easy-to-use webpage for all to see and use, but was immediately intrigued to see if there was something similar but in the form of a mobile app.
While traditionally, a mobile app is something that must be used occasionally and not just once, but however my main goal for creating this app compared to a website would be to utilize the offline capabilities and portability of a smartphone to help educate people around the world.
So why isn't there a download for Google play or xyz Store?
I haven't found the need to publish my app on the play store, especially since I don't have a Google Play developer license and because I have just started to build apps by myself. As for other stores, I'm only willing to make my app available on F-Droid, GitLab and XDA-labs. Any other source should be treated as suspicious.
So if you app says using apps from unknown sources are dangerous, then what does this say about your app?
My app is completely open-source (FOSS btw). No strings attached and no gimmicks. You can see my implementation over at GitLab. Don't trust me? Feel free to remove the app. I'll try to be as transparent as possible should there be any concerns.
I can see everything is in English, I can help translate...
I'll need to make some arrangements before I allow anyone to help translate. Remember that there are many (often lengthy) sentences that needs to be translated. If you have the time, please feel free to PM me to let me know
So you're open-source, but then app icons listed come from real (closed-source, often proprietary) apps. What gives?
If this is an issue, I can make arrangements to seek alternative resources. My main aim isn't to make any app developer feel or look bad, but rather to educated users about problematic apps often seen with apps downloaded from questionable sources.
I feel that I can help improve your app, where can I start?
Feel free to fork my project, make changes, and then submit a pull request. Remember that my project is GPL and so any violations will not be taken lightly (case-by-case).
Want to use some of my code?
I'm completely fine with people using parts of my code. I learnt a large majority of code from reading online, and so due to the nature of GPL, this would also mean others can also learn from mine. I've tried my best to cite sources where applicable.
What changes can I expect in the future?
While the future of my app remains unknown, I have some features I still want to implement (see the issue tracker on my GitLab).
Build 0.5 has been released
Changes:
Downloading permissions now checks if internet connection is available
Added permission list auto update frequency setting
Added swipe to refresh to permission list
Search widget now shows correct hint
Bumped osmdroid version to 6.0.2
Map label now scale according to screen dpi
Added night/day themes (toggle in preferences)
Stability fixes and minor bug fixes elsewhere
Enjoy the new changes, Saber

Didn't know there was a specific thread for this, even though I've been a member of XDA for such a long time (mostly active in the custom rom area), so I thought it would be a great idea to share my app with you guys! -
- Here are some screenshots taken from the app (full quality here) -​

APPLICATION PERMISSIONS​
Since you're not downloading the application from Google Play Store, you may want to know what permissions does this app require and when/where they are used, so here we go.
- Internet Permission -> Pretty obvious, it's used to gather and parse the latest COVID-19 stats, news & data
- Location Permission -> Disabled by default, users can enable it if they want to use location-based stats feature, since this uses, as you may expect, GPS Localization
- Networkstate Permission -> Used to monitor whether the application is/isn't connected to the internet, so that it will know whether to update the stats or not
That's all.​
WHY IS THE APP CLOSED SOURCE? WHY DON'T YOU POST THE SOURCE CODE?​
I have received these 2 questions a lot. The answer is that there are a lot of scammers out there in this period and I'm afraid they can modify the code to their benefit, so I won't be posting the source code, at least for now. ​
THE STORY & MOTIVATION BEHIND​
Google pulled this application twice out of Google Play Store, stating that it lacks sensivity towards CoronaVirus, which is obviously not true, since all it does is showing some actual real and official data (from WHO.INT & CDC) about COVID-19.​
As a result, I decided that instead of having a never-ending argue with Google Support & erasing more than 3 months of development (since I did everything by my own), I should post this application as it is here, without having to depend on Google.
The main purpose of this application was to help people have all the stats about CoronaVirus at a glance, on their android smartphones, but since Google did everything they could to stop this, I found myself with no other option than posting the application here, in hoping that the app will eventually fulfil its purpose.​
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT​As every major step in life takes a huge ammount of time, this application was no exception to the rule.
If you enjoy it and would like me to continue adding more features, please make sure you
