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.

I don't think the double tap on the back has ever worked for me.
This app has double tap with sensitivity adjustment, works perfectly for me with no noticeable battery drain. https://github.com/KieronQuinn/TapTap

Improve Quick Tap sensitivity
Just a quick shout-out of an app I discovered, it's a backport of quick tap for older android versions, but also has sensitivity adjustments and works great for me. Always triggers when I double tap (unlike the originl) and I've never had it accidentally trigger. https://github.com/KieronQuinn/TapTap
