• InformaCam in 2 toolboxes
  add to my toolbox

  A mobile app for controlling visual media and metadata in a manner that allows the person capturing the media to secure, protect it, and share it with only the people you intend to.

  InformaCam uses the built in sensors in modern smartphones as well wi-fi, bluetooth, and cell tower information to create a snapshot of the environment in which an image or video was captured. This validates the date, time and location of capture. Digital signatures and encryption ensure that your media hasn't been tampered with and can only be opened by the intended recipient.

  Secure Android ROM

  XDA-Developers Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317794

  Guardian ROM is a custom android ROM for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 devices. The ROM is completely Open Source and based off of the Android Open Source Project. The ROM aims to due the following:

  Secure/Harden the android kernel with GRSecurity
  Remove uneeded/Insecure binaries (Similar to SecDroid)
  Replace insecure Text Messaging app with TextSecure
  Include apps from the Guardian Project Installer (Optional add-on)
  Include support for SQLCipher
  Change Android Full Disk Encryption from AES-128 to AES-256 for more security
  Allow for seperate Login and boot passwords
  All of these have been completed except the final three which are underway but will take much more time.

• SecDroid in 1 toolbox
  add to my toolbox

  SecDroid hardens the android kernel by disable certain binaries that have internet access or can be used as an attack vector and by securing the TCP Stack using Systctl. This helps prevent some MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) and Spoofing attacks. It may also prevent some DOS (Denial-Of-Service) Attacks.

• Guardian Project Installer in 1 toolbox
  add to my toolbox

  This is a flashable zip that installs most of the apps from the Guardian Project. The guardian project is a non-profit organization that is building apps and tools to help users and whistle-blowers alike to stay safe and anonymous in this day and age. This is a faster way to setup a secure/private device. I also encourage enabling Full Disk Encryption in ICS/JB settings.

• NOGAPPS Project in 3 toolboxes
  add to my toolbox

  The NOGAPPS package - a set of applications and frameworks with the goal to fill the gap of missing proprietary Google apps package.

  
  
  
  Makes up for lost functionality by providing:

  BlankStore (An open source Google Play Store client)

  Maps API (A replacement of the often used google maps api with an open source one using OpenStreetMap.)

  Network Location (Geo-location using wlan and data from Apple or a database of gsm phone cellphone towers)

  
  
  
  Not useable yet:
  LoginService (used by some Tasks/Feed -Apps) [Development]
  Services Framework [Development]
  Maps API v2: This time with onboard map rendering, so we can use it offline even for navigation purposes and search
  
  
  

  Description:

  Google apps track users more than most other apps as they are system-apps and therefore have full rights on android.

  There are several problems with avoiding Google apps:

  You won't get regular updates for your apps. Google's apps are not bad in functionality, but are in privacy.

  No access to Play Store (There are many alternative markets, but nothing is as good for free apps as Play Store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need.

  Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API

  Some apps Force Close at start-up because of missing Maps API or market license check issues

  Some apps hard-coded links to several Google Apps and therefore Force Close or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
