So my girl thinks her ex, who bought her her phone, put spyware on it. Is there any surefire way to tell what someone might have installed, short of a reinstall, of telling what might have been put on an Android without ur consent? I've gone through everything I can find but she's worried that good hacks will hide it.

Backup everything and do a factory reset. Or install an alternative rom like LineageOS, but just the factory reset should be enough.

OP you are a fag.

Investigate powerlevel of her ex. If its a normalfag, backup her personal data, wipe the phone completly and reflash with designated ROM. If ex might be an ebin h^x0r, don't fuck around and buy her a new one.

Don't be a cuck don't buy her new shit just because she suggested that it has malware. All womans tech contains malware.

Listen to this anon, he's right >>1068926

But anyway, even if her ex isn't a cracker, agents from CIA (or whatever three-letter agency) still listen and jerk off to photos of your gf. Tell your girlfriend that she's running nonfree software anyway and buy her a better mobile device respecting her freedom or at least partially.

And of course show her this:

https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-mobiles.html

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.html

https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html

Signs her ex was a 133t h^x0r:

- uses GNU/Linux or just calls it "Linux", because he's a fag

- has pimples on his face

- watches anime

- has a long ponytail and/or is fat

- sits all day in front of computer

- is a programmer

But anyway, your hax0r could look totally different, so be careful.

I'm helping you just because we want you to run GNU/Linux, never forget about that. And that's probably a thread that should be posted in the sticky, but anyway it's funny.

I mean there IS google botnet on there but her ex didn't exactly put it on there. It came on there.

somehow i believe such a person would have trouble getting a girl unless said girl was a manipulative whore only interested on abusing and disposing of him after he ended his usefulness.

Ignore all the larpers and purists. Go the easy route and install Lineage OS if the device is supported. Any ROM for that matter. Lineage just also has the best documentation by far. You can use it for other ROMs as well.

Install custom ROMs as a rule of thumb anyways. It's easy as fuck and comes with very useful added features (depends on the ROM of course) but stuff like Privacy Guard on Lineage are in my opinion essential for -everyone-.

Easy method:

1. Check devices on left for support. More devices are supported and might just not get updates so google if it's not there:

https://download.lineageos.org/

2. Follow the installation Instruction on that page exactly. They are very well written and precise so if something is not working read more carefully.

First time I flashed cyanogenmod a long while back an having never done anything like it took me a couple hourse so just fucking do it. You won't regret it.
