AppWarden VS XPrivacyLua

Here's one you probably haven't heard about: Warden, by Aurora.

Solved : Using Warden atleast i can monitor spend time on this app with Nice UI :)

Then you can try every one of the indications and judge if they fit or harm your user experience. Avoiding big data botnet is a great start (Google, Facebook, Amazon), you can start to inspect your applications and their trackers with ClassyShark3xodus, Aurora Warden and TrackerControl. Then you might like to learn about your digital fingerprint with CoverYourTracks, TorZillaPrint and other testers, but the most important, always keep updated with privacy-related online content.

Hiya folks, I have a few questions about blocking trackers. I've been running under lineageos for quite some time with a (mostly disabled) microg. Occasionally I still find it tempting/useful/necessary to install apps with trackers and try/hope to mitigate the tracking functionality. For example, transportr, öffi, and osmand have been flakey lately (may just be my fault/environment) but I've temporarily installed moovit, citymapper, and transit, which have 6-17+ trackers each. Using Warden/App Manager (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AppWarden https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager), you can block/disable most of the trackers. Using blocking hosts files (in adaway for example) you can block some of the tracker functionality. Using trackercontrol (proxy) you can try to see if you neutered all of the trackers. Questions: 1) Do Warden and AppManager duplicate their functionality? (can I just use one of them?) 2) Do I need to go to the trouble of sniffing traffic if I want to make sure all unwanted traffic/tracking/advertising 3) Does an app repo or tool exist that sanitizes popular apps (removes the tracking payloads)? (I'm aware of Izzy) 4) Should I be asking this elsewhere like xda? 5) There are severe limitations introduced when doing things this way. Is there a better combination of tools/methods you would recommend? I realize that, in this use case, even just my search data will be used for tracking/profiling purposes so it isn't a good example. But I'm curious for all apps, not just navigation apps... Cheers, and thanks!

There you go. It's a great app!

I'm not sure as I haven't done it. Maybe this link answers your questions: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AppWarden

Checked Redmorph with Warden not excited about the trackers embedded in it - particularly Google AdMob.

If you have root then you may want to check out Warden, it's made by the same people as Aurora Store/Droid/Services and allows you to disable trackers and loggers in apps

I also like Warden for insight on Trackers and Loggers.

Is there any alternative to XPrivacyLua since it has been discontinued?

Hell yeah, fake data should totally be an option!

This could be achieved with something like Xposed, a cool project is https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua.

I actually made a "clone" with the option to generate data per permission as a school project, good times

Maybe XPrivacyLua is overkill but it works quite well on my phone (Android 13). You can have per app location or global location with XPrivacyLua Pro.

The combination I use is LSPosed, Shamiko, Safetynet-Fix, and depending on my needs, [XPrivacyLu(https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua.

XPrivacyLua

Unless you have root access, in which case you can use xprivacylua.

XPrivacyLua has the ability to feed fake data to apps.

Requires Android + Xposed though.
