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.

The list presented here is a collection of excellent apps (at the time of writing this) that excel in what they do (and supposed to do). They may or may not fit into the requirements of everyone perfectly. So choose whatever works best for you.
For the categories covered, these are the best apps you would find among hundreds of apps that currently exist for each category on Google Play Store. This curated list is hand picked by me after trying out several apps in each category in the last 10 years or so.
Points to Note:
1. I use the PRO version, in most cases or wherever available. Buying the PRO version or making in-app purchase supports development and is an appreciation for the developer for his/ her efforts and good work done.
The Pro version runs lighter on the system as it usually stops connecting to the internet to show you ads, and probably disables tracking and other background activities. This means the Pro version uses less system resources than the free version, and so would consume less battery too.
2. I use ad-blocker, so have no idea about ads on free versions. This is not to block revenue to developers, but only to safeguard my own privacy and security online.
3. I disable internet access to all apps that should not require it for core functionality.
4. I DENY all unnecessary permissions to apps.
5. I have been using most of these apps for a long time and my device has always performed excellently. So I guess none of these apps do malicious/ unwanted stuff.
6. DISCLAIMER: The apps listed below are currently the best apps as at the time of writing. Apps may stop being developed actively, developer can sell the app to a new buyer (who may not be as skilled or who may have malicious intent), developer himself can go rogue, etc. I take no responsibility for what any app may do on your device. You're free to accept or reject the recommendations in this post, and so you're on your own.
7. Over time, new and better apps may come up, apps that aren't great as at the time of writing can make a turnaround and become great apps, etc. This is a very dynamic process.
8. I haven't done a detailed analysis of trackers built into these apps. You can check them here:
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
Simply copy the Google Play Store link into the box on that site to see how many trackers are built into an app.
Q. How I choose my apps?
A. I look forward to the following features:
1. Cross platform support - This helps me stay away from platform dependency (iOS/ Android). I can easily switch platforms because the app would be available.
2. Sync support - I prefer signing in with an account so the information can sync across devices, across platforms.
3. The app is under active development.
4. Simple and minimalistic, but fully functional.
5. Small size (compared to similar apps) - small app size indicates efficient coding and less possibility of unwanted bundling inside the app.
6. Least amount of ads/ trackers.
7. If an app is excellent, I try to see what other apps are available from the same developer.
8. Any app I download from outside Google Play Store, I always upload them to Virustotal to scan for malware. I usually download apps only from the following sites:
1. Apkmirror https://www.apkmirror.com/
2. F-Droid https://www.f-droid.org/
3. XDA
4. GitHub
I will usually not sideload an app even if one antivirus engine on Virustotal flags it as malware, with very very rare exceptions. It is a strict NO if multiple antivirus engines flag them.
The links I have included are all for the apps I own (paid) and use. You will almost always find a free version of the same app from the same developer.

DESIRABLE FEATURES OF APPS​
Google Play Store boasts of hosting over 3.5 million apps today. One can safely say that more than 95% of these are pure garbage.
When you make something with love, passion, dedication: it shows on the end product.
Most apps on Google Play Store are copy cats where some popular apps are reverse engineered, given cosmetic changes and published as new apps to generate ad revenue, with absolutely zero value addition.
You'll often find the same developer publishing pretty much identical apps under different app names, or uses different developer accounts to publish the same app (of course with a different name).
Although all these are against Google Play Store policies, they nevertheless get accepted and published because Google too gets revenue out of these.
In this series called Desirable Features, I'll post what makes apps in a certain category good. Hopefully, a developer who is interested will take it up and incorporate the ideas in his/ her own app to make it unique and stand out.
Some of the Golden Rules to keep in mind when designing the UI can be found here:
3 very important tips for developers
If you are an app/ software developer, here are three very important UI related tips for you: 1. Design for least number of taps: Users should be able to access/ use a feature with the least number of taps. I often find that frequently used...
forum.xda-developers.com

File Managers.
I'll post the desirable features here.

GALLERY APPS​
01. Support for TABS: All Media, Videos, Photos, Favourites, Private, Folders (user should be able to reorder them, and also choose which ones would be visible).
02. Support for SWIPE GESTURES to switch between tabs.
03. Support for FILTERS: Within every folder/ album, option to quickly filter files of a certain type with least number of taps: for example, if inside camera folder, ability to quickly filter only the videos! Or if in the All Media tab, support for quickly filter only the GIFs.
04. Support for ACTION BAR: If a file is chosen, then actions like copy, move, delete, etc. Otherwise, the bar would contain filters, view type, etc.
05. Ability to choose which folders to INCLUDE, and which folders to EXCLUDE: both options must be present.
06. Ability to choose whether to include SUB-FOLDERS.
07. Support for HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS.
08. Ability to SHOW FILES FROM FOLDERS WITH .NOMEDIA FILE in them.
09. Support for SEARCH feature, with option to choose whether to limit search to current folder, parent folder or entire storage.
10. Support for RECYCLE BIN.
11. Support for BIOMETRICS: with options to lock specific folders/ albums only.
12. Support for FAVOURITES.
13. Support to PIN FOLDERS/ ALBUMS on top.
14. Support for all types of SORTING.
15. Support for HIDING folders.
16. Support for DIFFERENT VIEWS within an album (e.g. Videos): folder view, timeline view, grid view, etc.
17. Support for SMART ALBUMS: Ability to create an album using a combination of specific criteria: for example, a smart album would be all videos in the Camera folder.
18. Support for editing TAGS.

Ghost commander - very outdated UI and very user UNfriendly.
Is there anything unique about Kiwi, KM?
Musicolet - good music player with no ads. But their UI is cramped with too much stuff and I don't like that.
I will check out the other apps you mentioned.
Keyboard is nice. I like the top bar which is very functional.

As with Music Player, the most important feature for a music app is its ability to organize your music library! Yes, I didn't say sound quality because if you have a good pair of earphones/ headphones, your music will sound good even with the stock audio engine.
I know PowerAmp uses its own engine. I had a rooted device with Viper installed. Nothing beats viper when it comes to music quality. Also, Poweramp did not play well with viper.
I don't like PowerAmp UI, although that isn't very important.
Have you tried PlayerPro? It has features no other player has.
And Playlist Manager? Only app that can create system playlists that can be accessed by all music players.

Karma is interesting. Does it have a 'Allow LAN access only' option like Netguard? This option will only allow apps to connect to devices on your local network, whilst blocking internet access.
What is PDMDM?

Until Poweramp I never created playlists, now I use them constantly. My music library consists mostly of .wav files and including HDCD .wav files. Over 220 gb so management is critical.
Organized as Artist/Album/Track. It's important that each artist/album has it's own folder or at minimum each artist. The integrity of this data base must remain intact for playlist backup to function.
Wipe the phone, restore data base, use the Poweramp saved backup file, punch rescan library and boom within a minute or so it's fully restored including ALL settings. Superb.
I store -all- data on my backup SD card so reloads are a snap. No other apk backs up this well, but the data base must be the same for it to preserve playlists which it will do perfectly.
Make any data base alterations before the most recent Poweramp back up file as it will not detect misplace files in the music library added after the backup ie reorganized on PC. Lol, this I know.
It's audio engine is powerful with many settings that should be fully learned/explored to properly utilize the app. It's graphic equalizer is the best I've ever seen or heard on Android. It allows unlimited EQ profiles to be saved and they can be applied per song, album, playlist as you see fit.
These settings are backed up as well
Without Poweramp my Buds+ would sound like dogmeat; the EQ makes a huge difference.
You can choose from multiple processing engines and dail in their parameters if you wish. Allow to select those properties for each audio output as well. From then on it will shift on the fly with no input.
You have enormous control over all the parameters and aspects of how this app behaves and looks. So many in fact it's downright daunting. A steep learning curve, but you get the most customizable player there is and it will do what you want it to.
Because the complexity you'll need to spend some serious time setting it up to do it right.
Make to backup setting frequently and save at least one copy to PC as recreating the settings be hell.

Until Poweramp I never created playlists, now I use them constantly. My music library consists mostly of .wav files and including HDCD .wav files. Over 220 gb so management is critical.
Organized as Artist/Album/Track. It's important that each artist/album has it's own folder or at minimum each artist. The integrity of this data base must remain intact for playlist backup to function.
Wipe the phone, restore data base, use the Poweramp saved backup file, punch rescan library and boom within a minute or so it's fully restored including ALL settings. Superb.

Does Poweramp support SMART Playlists? NO!
By SMART Playlists, I mean creating playlists automatically based on the music file metadata like Ratings, Comments, BPM, Grouping, Track number, Disc Number, Album Artist, etc. These are information stored inside the music file. So you really don't need to backup your playlists as such.
Desktop Music Managers like MusicBee, iTunes, etc can generate SMART Playlists by reading the metadata of music files. PlayerPro and GoneMAD (though not as versatile as PlayerPro) are the only music players that can generate SMART Playlists, just like Desktop Music Managers.
No more need to connect phone to PC to sync playlists or follow any particular file organization method like the one you described. No need to manually create playlists either (although you have to configure the metadata properly, but this is one-time thing).
Simply copy the music files to your device (you can just dump everything inside a single folder without any structure) and these apps (particularly PlayerPro) can generate your playlists in seconds!
