I’m writing a documentation, in which I need to know what the source code is so that an application can check the entire mobile device, behind settings that the user has not made, for example:

  • if you set up a password on the home screen;
  • if encrypted the memory card;
  • apps that consume a lot of energy;
  • malicious apps that request GPS activation without using;
  • leave Bluetooth enabled without password;
  • use an antivirus;
  • perform mobile device anchoring without password and;
  • warn user malicious applications.

Where do I find these codes?

    Do you want the Android fonts? For what? For this you are talking it will be very little useful.

  • Hello, I’m studying mobile security, and I’m developing an app to learn how mobile security works. In case when you had the application check: if you configured a password on the home screen; if you encrypted the memory card; , applications that consume a lot of energy; use an antivirus; perform password-free mobile device anchorage and warn the user of malicious applications. Got it? Thanks. abs

The sources of the operating system stay in place where almost everything is open source today stands, in the Github. Of course there are other mirrors but this is the most practical. A alternative. Other.

This another site should interest.

Having the Android fonts will be little useful for the indicated in the question. Picking up documentation will be much more interesting.

If the intention is to take the sources of the installed applications, it is not possible in general, most will be closed source and the others will have to go after case by case, that is, it is impracticable.

Even if you have all the sources, this will not be useful to do the aforementioned checks automatically. And manually it doesn’t make much sense, nothing guarantees the reliability and it is sure that will have short life.

Safety is not obtained through sources. Many less can you do it on top of third party applications unless you are willing to hard work, have a lot of knowledge and choose a few applications.
