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 theft feauture is awesome

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!

can you provide a module which can change progress wheels
Sent from my SM-G355HN using XDA Free mobile app
"Ultra Power saving mode" module (Like s5)
I would like to suggest a module that works like Ultra Power saving mode in Samsung S5; where 10% of the battery lasts 24hour... maybe with some intermediate modes, like "just black & white" and others
Could be very useful in emergency situations and many other cases

Second space is a very innovative feature in miui which I miss elsewhere. The main fun is switching like user account from same lock screen with just the password (fingerprint also). Simply screen off and place the other finger on the fingerprint scanner. Is this available on any custom oreo rom?

Parallel space app is like alternative to already present dual app feature where you can have multiple account for some apps like whatsapp, fb etc..
Second space is more like multi user feature which android have since lollipop.. but main difference is in multi user you create various users which you can access from
Notification tray ..select another user then it take few seconds to switch .. like switch to guest mode.. and it also take time to switch back..
Second space is like keeping only 2 user account ..but switch is very convenient and fast ..and you don't need mi account for that..
Hope I am able to explain..
Good night
You can use Island, which utilizes Android for Work to do the similar.

Anyone find a good alternative yet island sounds promising besides it still being in beta. I primarily use second space for its multiuser aspect and to map 18 instead of just 9 places in google maps. This is really the only thing holding me back from switching to lineage from miui :fingers-crossed:

I have used Shelter on Custom ROM: a Free and Open-Source (FOSS) app that leverages the “Work Profile” feature of Android to provide an isolated space that you can install or clone apps into.
Shelter - Apps on Google Play
Isolate Apps / Multiple Accounts
play.google.com

No shelter cannot :
PIN LOCK CODE { X } > USER PROFILE { X }
MIUI can open different user profile on pin/password.
Need a best applock
which uses low battery use with lesser permissions
need just an applock which does locking the app only and no data collection ,open source is also fine any suggestions
pls suggest a best applock for android 11 | which also trust as secure and privacy
i tried lockx but it have a doubt is it secure to use becoz its not available in playstore ?
