PCAPdroid VS charter

PCAPdroid (version 1.6.9): No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

PCAPdroid mitm (version 16): Mitm addon for PCAPdroid

https://github.com/emanuele-f/PCAPdroid is very good, shows content too (for http)

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.

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.

Try PCAPdroid. It'll show the app as well as the destination IP.

PCAPdroid (version 1.5.1): No-root network monitor and traffic dump tool for Android devices

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.

PCAPdroid should do the same thing

LineageOS is volunteer produced and maintained, and outside of the device support charter requirements are necessarily expected to be free of bug or error in any given build.

If it's not there (it's not) and you want it to be, feel free to submit a port once you've got one to meet the device requirements and decided you'd like to maintain it.

Everything works linked to https://github.com/LineageOS/charter/blob/master/device-support-requirements.md

LineageOS introduced a "Device Support Requirements" a few years ago. I think that's when they changed their focus to stability over anything else.

Unofficial LineageOS does not have to meet the strict LineageOS Device Support Requirements Charter

Learn everything required to generate a build that satisfies the device requirements, then sign up to be a maintainer for that device and maintain the build

It's essentially stock Android - be ready to lose some OxygenOS features - but they're rock solid on the devices I use official builds (eg: OnePlus 8 Pro, same maintainer as the 7 Pro). And it's important to use official builds because they need to comply with this long list of requirements, reducing the number of things that don't work.

You'd have to either wait for a volunteer maintainer to get a device-specific build up to the requirements, or become that volunteer maintainer yourself.
