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.

2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
