Advice needed: Best ads for tracking, monitoring and detecting action on system

tempproc

I'm using GPlay, Aurora and F-Droid. I'm trying to obtain maximum transparency on my system since I don't believe in security without detection.

What are the best apps to to track, monitor and log processes, network, files and generally user activity on GOS? I'm thinking Netguard or APK Analyzer for example, accurate battery consumption and processes/activity tracking being the hardest for me to find.

Also is there good console or apps that can enable to sort or refine logs, since the system logs itself is not the most useful. Also is there a way to access the boot args logs?

Thanks

You can monitor network traffic with AdGuard. AdGuard also blocks trackers and ads on network layer.

For network analysis, it's is normally done with a separate device running network monitoring software.

Vincent96 I understand for thorough security monitoring but this is for personal security usage on the device

Grapi Already have adblocker, trying to monitor network with a wireshark level of precision and a netguard level of firewall and per-process blocking

Im using rethink plus proxy plus VPN in normal and private modes. Its perfect on my time,capacity and capability of tracking apps and network.

In relation to processes, how much time you have as the logging and resulted logs gonna take some precious time to analyse and process wisely those results...

user2025 Not trying to sort through individual process at first, but at least be able to track them for specific packages

processes/activity tracking being the hardest for me to find.

Maybe App Manager?

Novalissoide Thanks that's what I'm talking about, although I'll have to audit each of those apps, and hopefully most of them are Fdroid or such because I'd rather not pull and build them in the wild.

Does AppManager work with GOS OOTB with sufficient permissions or does it required ADB?

tempproc Rethink is the best network monitor/firewall app that I've found so far.

tempproc hmmm,good one...thanks.

Guess you have to trust de developer(s) that is not doing nasty things.

Monitoring each process like jnternal,on the device itself ? Tricky due to Linux permissions.
I know in Linux was "top" ?

Still searching for a proper battery and usage tracker

Doesn't the OS already do this in settings ↦ battery ↦ battery usage?

user2025 Yeah I'm trying to avoid that, but I still need to go through it to have any clue of what's happening on the device unfortunately
