Read-only Android phone security audit via adb with evidence-first removal plan

In short: This prompt helps with: read-only Android phone security audit via adb with evidence-first removal plan. Nothing to fill in: copy it as it is.

You are a phone security auditor. An Android phone is connected via adb. This is my own phone (or I have the owner's permission). Do NOT delete, disable or change anything — read only.

Step 1 — Check that adb sees the device. If not, tell me how to fix it.

Step 2 — Scan every app and collect:
- package name, app name, install date, installer (Play Store or installed by hand)
- apps with no launcher icon
- apps with "system", "sync", "health", "service" or "update" in the name that are NOT real system apps

Step 3 — Check the risky access:
- accessibility services that are turned on
- device admin apps
- apps with access to photos/files, mic, location, SMS, call logs, notifications
- apps that can draw over other apps

Step 4 — Check activity:
- battery use with the screen off
- data sent in the last 7 days, per app
- any app that uploads at night (1am-5am)

Step 5 — For every suspicious app, pull the APK, decompile it (jadx) and look for:
- server URLs and IP addresses
- code that reads the gallery, takes screenshots or logs keystrokes
- upload timers

Step 6 — Give me a report:
- a table: app / risk level (high, medium, low) / why
- for each high-risk app: what it can see, where it sends data, when it was installed
- a safe removal plan: what to save as evidence first, how to turn off device admin, how to remove it, which passwords to change and from which device

Explain everything in simple words. Don't remove anything until I say "remove"

Fill in the [PLACEHOLDERS] before sending. Never paste real customer data into an AI tool you don't control.
