A group of open source Android apps without ads and unnecessary permissions
Warning, the reaction to massive security issues in a bundled PDF reader of the file manager made me uninstall all of these apps. Safety of my device and data is paramount.

https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/iss... where the developer shows no grasp of security "what can happen to an app without internet access?"
A "simple" file manager should not come with a PDF reader.

How do you like to set up your custom Android ROM?
Because knowledge empowers privacy, I install Exodus, Warden, and Privacy Dashboard (works just like Vigilante). Those apps to give me an idea of what's going on behind the scenes with my installed software. Exodus and Warden are slightly redundant, but Warden gives you really nice visuals and graphs.

Does anyone know of a way to log which apps access different permissions on your phone? Android specifically.
So basically its an open source app which is available on F-Droid App Store. It could be useful for users who are Android 11 or lower version. It indicates you if any application is using your Location, Camera, Microphone by showing a DOT on the top right corner of the screen and also gives a notification about it but doesn't tell you which application is using it.
