  • Official/Unofficial are the terms that mean different things on different ROMs, however most derive their definition from LineageOS, where "Official" status can be granted to any maintainer whose builds pass a number of checks. You can read specific requirements here.

  • PCAPdroid

    No-root network monitor, firewall and PCAP dumper for Android

  • 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.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
