I try the F-Droid Version and the Playstore Version but both dont show any Apps.
I have for example the "Super Backup App" App from Playstore (with Yalp) installed but Exodus doesnt show it.

I run LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) under OnePlus 2 without GAPPS and use Aurora (Yalp Fork) for download & install Playstore apps

Loading bar on top of the screen is glued to the first application of the list. There should have some space there between list and the bar.

I think writing zero gives a false signal about the app being "clean".

(and thank you so much for your work!)

Exodus 1.1.0 should have added detection for Yalp store apps. However, on a phone without a Google account, it doesn't. I had a friend who avoids Google stuff install Exodus from F-Droid yesterday, but it refused to show any of his Yalp apps. (OnePlus 3, newest updates.)

Is there still a requirement for Google anywhere in the code?

I would be great if one could search by a tracker name (e.g. Facebook) and have all app listed with that tracker.

Hello,
I'm using 93f64ed and If I press the phone's back button while the app is still processing applications, it crashes with this error:

(This is not really critical since I'm closing the app anyway.)

Got a warning from playstore, saying please uninstall this app because exodus privacy can harm your device.
??

To get a little bit more space and have a better presentation, it could be nice removing partly if not totally, white strips around the screen. Especially the ones on top and bottom of the screen.

How does the app detect them?

Eg. I have ACR installed from APK yet I get a screen with no apps from source.

What are the conditions? Google Play store enabled/installed? Can't you track by hash? Signature?

/LE: Ok, so you check what app installed the package and if it's com.android.vending then you consider them for testing.

Version 2.0.0 don't embeded some translations due to uncomplete support.
Exodus will have a plateform to centralize all translation and work on it to help our awesome translator to be as update as they can on new translation to avoid this in the futur.

Version 1.0 downloaded from https://seahub.0x39b.fr/f/38a160dfa0/?dl=1 as said in https://news.exodus-privacy.eu.org/

Android 5.0.1, Samsung S4 (with most preinstalled apps disabled, including chrome)

On alpha android app it would be great to be able to select a tracker from a list (alternatively from the report of a specfic app) and then be able to see all apps on my phone that contains the culprit.

This would allow to remove all occurrences of a given tracker.

Hi,

After a discussion on Mastodon, I went and checked contrasts in the app with Colour Contrast Analyser.

(Sorry, results are in French as it's my system's installation language.)

Rule of thumb

On a mobile application one should strive to aim at 4.5:1 minimum contrast, because of the conditions in which a mobile app is used (think reflections on the glass, smaller screen, etc.).

Title bar

Premier plan:#FFFFFF
Arrière plan:#684972

Le ratio de contraste est de: 7,5:1

Le texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le texte est conforme de niveau AAA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AAA

All good!

Default text

Premier plan:#737373
Arrière plan:#FAFAFA

Le ratio de contraste est de: 4,5:1

Le texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le texte est non conforme de niveau AAA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AAA

Yay! This one is good straight away!

Red square

Premier plan:#732A31
Arrière plan:#E56772

Le ratio de contraste est de: 3,1:1

Le texte est non conforme de niveau AA
Le texte est non conforme de niveau AAA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le grand texte est non conforme de niveau AAA

Orange-yellow (or something ;) ) square

Premier plan:#7F6511
Arrière plan:#FFDA65

Le ratio de contraste est de: 4,1:1

Le texte est non conforme de niveau AA
Le texte est non conforme de niveau AAA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le grand texte est non conforme de niveau AAA

Green square

Premier plan:#2B5D38
Arrière plan:#6FC385

Le ratio de contraste est de: 3,6:1

Le texte est non conforme de niveau AA
Le texte est non conforme de niveau AAA
Le grand texte est conforme de niveau AA
Le grand texte est non conforme de niveau AAA

Suggestion

What I would do:

• For dark backgrounds:
  • Darken the background colour a bit more (if needed)
  • Use white type in the squares
• For light backgrounds:
  • Lighten the background colour a bit more (if needed)
  • Use black type in the squares

A handy tool to do just that is tanaguru contrast finder.

Example results:

• Red square
  • Background: #CB4A5A (slightly changed)
  • Foreground: #FFFFFF
  • Result: 9.98 – VALID
• Orange-yellow-etc :)
  • Background: #FFDA65 (unchanged)
  • Foreground: #000000 (black)
  • Result: 15.46 – VALID
• Green
  • Background: #6FC385 (unchanged)
  • Foreground: #000000 (black)
  • Result: 9.82 – VALID

It does look a bit more stern than the semitransparent black that is currently used. I can help you to choose less drastic colours if needed ;)

Having installed LineageOS with microG on my phone, most of my apps I install are from F-Droid.
However, for some cases I have to use non-open source apps.
However, I do not have installed the Google Playstore, but instead Aurora store, which acts as a proxy for the Playstore to download apps from the Playstore anonymously.

After I installed Exodus, it is not detecting the installed apps, which definitely have trackers.
"It appears that you don't have any apps installed for the source we test (Google play store)"

Is there a way to not rely on the Playstore to analyze the installed apps for trackers?

Version: 2.0.0

Exodus did the initial scan after loading the trackers, now it fails to load the db, this time no memory issue tho (#57).

Hello,

in the getReports method, the code is using the following snippet:

            // Add some random packages to avoid tracking
            Random rand = new Random(Thread.currentThread().getId());
            int alea = rand.nextInt(120) % 10 + 11;
            for(int i = 0 ; i < alea; i++) {
                int val = rand.nextInt(handles.size());
                packages.add(handles.get(val));
            }

This could lead, at some degrees, a rogue server to be able to do educated guess about what applications are installed or not. It would be cool to use SecureRandom instead.

This is a super-minor issue, feel free to close it with an E_DONTCARE :)

Hello,

I have several apps installed on my phone, from both F-Droid and Yalp Store (and several of them have Exodus reports), but Exodus 1.0.3 only displays one app.
If I refresh the list, it displays "Processing Applications: x/40" but does not add more app.

Am I missing something?

My phone does not have Google Play, but I'd still like to use this scanner. Right now, it returns no apps, saying that it didn't find any that were installed by Google Play. But I have a bunch of apps that came from other F-Droid repos besides f-droid.org.

Some people like to use quotes in their version names
for example the monerujo app ( com.m2049r.xmrwallet )
As long as website and exodus app have this representation:

Version: 1.11.5 'Chernushka'

The scan results will always tell you: this version hasn't been scanned.

I think it would make sense to add a link to this repository on the application description (on Google Play Store and F-droid). This would:

• show that the app is free and open source
• allow people to jump right to the code if they want to
• allow people to create issues easily

As always, happy to discuss/debate about this :)

In another issue thread, I thought I saw that Exodus only tracks apps that were installed via the Google Play Store.

Is there a way to show to the user that an app has since been removed from the Play store? I keep seeing news articles about malicious apps that have been removed for whatever reason... but I haven't found a way to check and see if any of my installed apps have been removed.

Is that something this app could visualize?

can you please add changelog.
what is CHANGELOG ?

The impact your app would be greater if someone could directly uninstall an app after seeing how many tracker etc. are implemented. I imagine a button in the appbar on the right with an intent to ACTION_DELETE.

On a moto G5, the install on F-droid doesn't work.

Some apps I've found say their company is in one country yet sign their cert with another country.

Ex:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nekki.shadowfight3
Cyprus on Play Store, Moscow Russia in certificate, company site offered in English and Russian, game connects to .ru domains. There's nothing indicating they made this on an island in the Mediterranean.

Hello,

I tried the app (1.0.4) on an Android 4.2 tablet and it forces the display in portrait mode (which can be annoying when the tablet is attached to a keyboard).

The application show the apps, start the loading indicator and crash a few seconds latter.

Android 5.0.1 (Samsung S4)

(It worked before Exodus v1.2.2)

Hi, I want to design a new logo for the project completely free...

I know you accept donations, and maybe most of your users comes from the Android app so I would make sense to let Android users know they can donate.

Now that F-Droid apps can be scanned with exodus, the android app should display these applications

From what I understand currently there is some noise being added to help obfuscate what apps you have installed, but multiple syncs will make the noise meaningless. This is concerning especially from a privacy-focused app.

Is there no way this can be done in an end-to-end encrypted/zero knowledge manner?

One solution is an optional setting to download the report for every app, and then locally only the reports for installed apps are kept.

Another is Tor support. This way all you know is some anonymous user has XYZ installed apps.

We tried to install the application yesterday on a Huawei phone, the number of trackers don't appear :

Add an area where is written the total of trackers installed on the applications in the smartphone

Hello,

when I start Exodus, it analyzes the installed apps, then crashes. If I try to restart it, I don't see a new apps scan, the crash is immediate. I'm on LineageOS 14.1.

Here is the relevant part of logcat:

Today the Application fetch two things:

The list of all applications known by exodus:

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/api/applications

{"applications": [
    {
      "id": 50261,
       "handle": "org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy",
       "name": "Exodus Privacy",
       "creator": "Exodus Privacy",
       "downloads": "10,000+ downloads",
       "app_uid": "B6FECF6541A4C151B6FB1AB1D77AD012C95349DF",
       "icon_phash": "93967134568205988083521687304934410531",
       "report_updated_at": 1566315960.731061
  }
]}

For each installed application on the phone, the list of reports:

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/api/search/org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy

{
  "org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy": {
    "reports": [
      {
        "downloads": "10,000+ downloads",
        "creation_date": "2019-07-30T21:23:18.334Z",
        "updated_at": "2019-08-20T10:34:49.189Z",
        "trackers": [],
        "version_code": "7",
        "id": 87886,
        "version": "1.2.0"
      }
    ],
    "name": "Exodus Privacy",
    "creator": "Exodus Privacy"
}

This has two drawback:

• The first download is a large json file
• The second one reveal the list of installed application to the server

These two dowload could be combined, to reduce the size of the download while protecting the privacy:

A single entry point:

https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/api/search/<SHA256>

Where <SHA256> is the beginning (4 char for example) of the SHA256 of the app id (org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy)
The server answer with all application (with reports) that match the begining of that checksum:

{"applications": [
    {
      "id": 50261,
       "handle": "org.eu.exodus_privacy.exodusprivacy",
       "name": "Exodus Privacy",
       "creator": "Exodus Privacy",
       "downloads": "10,000+ downloads",
       "app_uid": "B6FECF6541A4C151B6FB1AB1D77AD012C95349DF",
       "icon_phash": "93967134568205988083521687304934410531",
       "report_updated_at": 1566315960.731061,
        "reports": [
        {
            "downloads": "10,000+ downloads",
            "creation_date": "2019-07-30T21:23:18.334Z",
            "updated_at": "2019-08-20T10:34:49.189Z",
            "trackers": [],
            "version_code": "7",
            "id": 87886,
            "version": "1.2.0"
        }
        ]
    }
]}

The application could decide the length of the beginning of the checksum, to balance download size vs privacy: a length of 1 will strongly protect the privacy but will download 3% of the database. The full length will download only one application but will reveal it to the server. A length corresponding to 10-100 applications could be reasonable, and configurable by the user.

Depending on icon shape, some applications have their name very very close if not glued to their icon. Having a little space between them would improve the presentation.

For the moment, permissions are displayed a rough way. It would be better to add a description for each permission.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16872609/android-permissions-where-are-they-described
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PermissionInfo.html#loadDescription(android.content.pm.PackageManager)

I get "This app hasn't been analyzed by Exodus Privacy yet." on every single app in the app.

Hello,

Are there any plans to distribute this app on F-Droid?

Adding a scrollbar on the side, hidden when there's no movement and appearing when there's would allow user to know where in the list he currently is.

This sounds silly, but "Google Play services" is shown as an app with 197 permissions on the Exodus Privay application, which does not display properly with the new colored buttons. See below:

Screenshot1:

Screenshot2:

Adding the ability to sort apps by their trackers count or as default would helps to identify quickly wich apps needs inspection / replacement.

Instead of just listing apps in alphabetical order. maybe some filters such as most permissions/trackers to least permissions/trackers ?

It might be partly obvious, but being explicit would be much preferred – as there might be misunderstandings: Are the network permissions used for …

• retrieving definitions of known trackers from some server or
• transmitting app information to some server for "remote evaluation"?

Not everybody is capable of extracting that from the source code 😉

A new option is available on the exodus API to return just enough data for the android app
https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/api/applications?option=short

Now you can start using it :)

A scan once a day or on demand (Swipe the list to the bottom) should be enough.

Title, thanks!
