Thank for that and the link , it wouldn't let me link it? I'm a man lol If people want to know why i use it then its mainly for peace of mind that i have a AV checking everything that comes on my phone. I was just letting people know and spreading the word.
OP thats what this forum is about but any way each to their own..
Aside from the antivirus aspect of Avast Mobile Security, is there any real value in the other components of this software? Here's an excerpt from the description of this app:
"Control anti-theft features with remote SMS commands for: history wipe, phone lock, siren activation, GPS tracking, audio monitoring, and many other useful tools. Your ‘invisible’ app hides itself, making it extremely hard for thieves to find and disable. A standalone yet tightly integrated component of avast! Mobile Security, avast! Anti-Theft is the slyest component on the market. Formerly known as Theft Aware, the Anti-Theft portion of avast! Mobile Security has been recommended by leading industry experts that include T-Mobile, N-TV, AndroidPIT, and Android Police."
Is this just hype?
I am currently using Lookout for the "security" features, but some Lookout features are only available in the premium version, while the Avast app seems to offer similar features for free.

I've installed the anti-theft and it works great, it integrates in your phone and when you activate it the app locks down so nobody can edit it. Then you can send SMS commands from another phone you select to lock the phone, make it scream, report its location, wipe data, disable settings and even continue to do so if the SIM card is removed. The intruder can't access the app because it "deletes" itself and you literally have to "call" your code to reactivate. But there is a HUGE list of advanced SMS commands you can send to your phone if its lost or stolen, including updating the lock message, activating a data connection, making it call a certain number, and performing specific actions on your phone. The first version is annoying though with the always-on icon, but they've fixed it now

Thank you for the feedback. Sounds worthwhile. I'll give it a try.
Would be so nice when somebody could mirror the apk...as always, i can´t install it on my sgsII (due to density settings perhaps?!).
Is someone here who likes to do that for me?

The anti-virus even with the latest version of avast has a problem for any app even if its clean but the anti-theft bit is great hence why i use on the anti theft bit and then use mylookout for the antivirus.
But would love to know which AV is the best for free of course!

#####################
ROOT APPLICATION (tAKEN FROM I CLICK ROOT) (I WIlL ADD MINE SOON AND NEVER GONNA INCLUDE ROM MANAGER)
10) ShootMe – Screenshot app
Android has a lot of advantages over its
main competitor, Apple’s iOS. However,
unlike iOS, Android doesn’t give users the
ability to take screenshots of their
phones. Thanks to the ShootMe app
available on rooted phones, that problem
is a thing of the past. This app allows you
to set up a trigger for when the phone
should take a screenshot. For example, if
you want to take a screenshot every
time you shake your phone, you can easily
set that up.
9) Titanium Backup – Automatic backup
and recovery app
No electronic device is immune to
failures. If you’re like most people, you
keep some valuable information on your
Android device. From phone numbers to
pictures and everything in between,
losing access to that data could be
devastating. That’s why you need
Titanium Backup, an app which allows
rooted Android users to set automatic
backup options. All apps and other data
is saved, so if you screw up your phone
while trying to install a custom ROM, you
can easily restore it with the click of a
button.
8) Metamorph – Customize every single
aspect of your phone
After rooting an Android phone, one of
the first things that many users do is
customize their device. Thanks to the
Metamorph app, phone customization is
as easy as possible. Simply download the
app, then browse through a selection of
custom themes. If you want, you can
even make your own theme. Using
Metamorph, you can personalize your lock
screen, menus, app screens, and all
other aspects of your Android phone.
7) Adfree – Instant advertisement
blocking
Sick of seeing advertisements on your
phone? Aren’t we all! With the Adfree
app, you’ll never have to see another
advertisement again. The Adfree app
works in a unique way: instead of
actively scanning each app and webpage
for advertisements (which slows down
Android performance), Adfree simply
blocks the IP addresses of common
advertising agencies. This means that
advertisements will refuse to pop up
while using apps, browsing the internet,
or performing any other types of tasks
on your phone.
6) Busybox – Use Linux commands
Busybox might not appeal to the average
Android user, but it will certainly appeal
to tech geeks and Linux users. Busybox is
an app that adds Linux commands to your
Android device. To make the app as easy
as possible to use, Busybox even lists the
commands, making it easy to perform a
wide variety of functions that are
normally unavailable to users of non-
rooted Android devices.
5) Wireless Tether – Wireless hotspot app
Share your Android phone’s data
connection with any other wireless
device using the Wireless Tether app.
This is an ideal way to use your phone
data on your laptop while you’re in an
area with no internet connection,
although tethering can be used for a
wide variety of purposes. With the
Wireless Tether app, tethering can be
performed on any carrier and any
Android phone. Since some companies like
AT&T charge an additional $20 per
month for tethering, this makes the
Wireless Tether app an extremely
valuable tool.
4) Tasker – Automatic task app
Tasker is a smart app that will automate
all sorts of tasks on your phone. For
example, you can set a task to run every
day at 5pm, or perform plenty of other
useful functions. Although Tasker is
available from the Google Play store, it
won’t have root access on non-rooted
Android phones. When you give Tasker
root access, expect to see some
phenomenal results.
3) SSH Tunnel – Safeguard your internet
usage
Instead of letting anyone see what
you’re doing on the internet, the SSH
Tunnel encrypts your internet
connection using an SSH tunnel. When
you access a public Wi-Fi network
without an app like SSH Tunnel installed,
anybody with basic technical skills can
see what you’re doing over the internet,
which is most definitely a bad thing.
2) SetCPU – Overclock and monitor your
processor
The processor is at the heart of your
Android phone’s operations. On a normal
Android device, the user’s actions won’t
affect how the CPU functions. However,
thanks to the SetCPU app, that is no
longer a problem. SetCPU allows users to
customize the CPU to run at different
frequencies according to what the user
is currently doing. For example, you can
instantly reduce the CPU’s clock speed
when the screen is turned off, which
saves an enormous amount of battery
life. Ultimately, SetCPU allows you to
save battery power, speed up your
Android device, and monitor its
temperature.
1) Superuser – The first app to install on
a rooted Android device
MINE ROOTED APS
Hide my Root
Sure, CyanogenMod may be getting
more granular root settings, but
can you password protect them?
This app can.
--
Hide my Root lets you temporarily
hide the superuser binary and app
so that no applications or users can
get root access. You can even set a
password so that only you can
restore root access. On some roms
(usually rooted stock roms), Hide
my Root will allow you to use
Google Videos and similar apps on a
rooted phone. On custom roms
such as CyanogenMod, it will not
allow you to use Google Videos and
similar apps on a rooted phone.
Root Logger by Stericson
Root Logger is the only application
that can log all shell commands
that are sent to your phone,
including those from other rooted
applications. Root Logger can also
tell you who executed the
command, when it was executed,
and whether or not the command
was executed with root access. This
application will help you keep an
eye on what's being sent to the
shell on your phone and what those
applications are doing on your
phone. This Application requires
root access, busybox, and these
commands, which are usually
provided by Busybox, chmod, ln, ls,
cp, chattr, and rm.
Root Explorer
This is by far one of the most
comprehensive file managers out there.
This app gives you access to the whole of
android's file system and includes
features like an SQLite database viewer,
Text Editor, the ability to create and
extract zip or tar/gzip files, extract rar
archives, multi-select, execute scripts,
search, remount, permissions,
bookmarks, and lots more. There’s a free
version as well for you to try out.
Call Master
This advanced call and SMS blocker
gives you unique privacy features for
rooted users. With the app running
silently in the background, you can block
an MMS before it downloads, filter SMSs
by content and lots more.
MarketEnabler
You’ll notice that certain apps are
country specific and won’t show up in
the Play Store on your phone.
MarketEnabler helps you get around this
by tricking the Play Store into thinking
you are actually in that country or region
and allowing you to download the app.
You obviously won’t find this on the Play
Store, but a quick Google search will
help.
SD Maid
SD Maid will automatically clean up
unwanted files left behind when you
uninstall apps. Just like Windows,
sometimes certain files are not deleted
when you uninstall them and they can
clutter your file system over time. This
app helps remove those unwanted files.
StickMount
This app was designed to enable USB
On-the-go access on the Galaxy Nexus,
but there’s no reason why it shouldn’t
work on other handsets running ICS and
above. All you need is the cable and then
you can access data from your pen drives
easily, thus expanding your storage
Call Master
This advanced call and SMS blocker gives
you unique privacy features for rooted
users. With the app running silently in the
background, you can block an MMS
before it downloads, filter SMSs by
content and lots more.

Could lycan be asked to link to this as an additional resource? The main difference that I see is that lycan's sticky is categorized and a lot of the tools are somewhat scattered in different branches . Yes, I know you specified the post for kernels, mods tweaks and TOOLS. But not all that is listed here, is listed there. Maybe a compromise is in order?

I am not sure if a compromise is possible. By looking at Lycan's last post, it looks like he hasn't been on for several months now. The thing is, that thread was first started by Bytecode, who handed the thread over to Lycan, so if Lycan was still active on XDA, I would've requested ownership of the thread. But since he has been inactive, I think it would be alright to copy the tools from his thread to yours (since his thread is not just about tools and such while this thread is), and in the event that he does come back online and asks for the tools to be removed from this thread, maybe there can be some sort of a compromise then.

Hey thanks for posting this one, but unfortunately my phone is not rooted yet. do you think that root is required to setup a proxy over Android? or should I just keep looking for a non Rooted Device App. for now I didn't found noting yet!

No reason to thank me at all. All credits obviously go to @M66B Marcel is a great developer! It's always worth to get his pro features; even if you don't need them it would support a continuous, fantastic development. NetGuard isn't suitable for me because I need VPN for the connection to my Raspberry Pi in the home network via OpenVPN/PiVPN and Android only provides for one VPN connection.
But for years, I'm using Marcel's FairEmail; for me the very best and most privacy orientated email client. The other fantastic development by Marcel that I use is XPrivacyLua but you need to be rooted for it.
