RethinkDNS for Android. Why is it completely free?
Other than that, Rethink is a proper network monitor and a (tcp/udp) firewall; while DDG is a browser bundling in DNS-based protection, from what I can tell. DDG is based on NetGuard, but they don't license that tech as FOSS but only under source-available license. Rethink is fully FOSS, and it was initially a fork on Intra, but it has diverged very much from Intra that it is no where near similar to its predecessor, anymore.

Intra vs Nebulo as Doh client
Haven’t used Intra before but it looks like it uses Google’s Firebase analytics (https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/Intra/blob/master/Android/app/src/main/java/app/intra/sys/firebase/AnalyticsWrapper.java) (no surprise though since Intra is by Google (Jigsaw team)).

Need an app that sniffs HTTP/HTTPS requests that are made by apps
https://github.com/emanuele-f/PCAPdroid is very good, shows content too (for http)

Scraping data from an app: real world example
There's also PCAPdroid [1] which you can run straight from your phone with no root. Works with https traffic too when you enable the mitm setting.

Downloading file using HTTP Request GET or PUT results in an empty file
Also whenever I mess around with http stuff I like to use tools like Fiddler Classic (PC) and PCAPdroid (Android) to know what I need to do vs. what I'm sending/requesting. With this you can perform the desired action manually while capturing all the packets of that action with headers. Then when you replicate the functionality, you capture the packets again and compare both to verify that your code behaves identically/similarly to what you manually did.

Found unknown app using data on my phone by using the glass wire app.
Try PCAPdroid. It'll show the app as well as the destination IP.

Questions about Android version updates and security update support for Xiaomi
I'm rather fond of PCAPdroid, just leave everything to default and start monitoring. Ideally you should only see ~100b be sent via netd and nothing else if you are not using your phone (and disabled background update checks in say NetGuard, Firefox, etc.). It takes up the VPN slot so be aware of that.
