AKDetector - Device Info

AKDetector reads what your device says about itself, then checks whether it keeps saying the same thing.

Most device-info apps ask Android one question and print the answer. AKDetector asks the same question from four separate processes — the main app, a child zygote, an app zygote, and a fully isolated process — and compares the four answers. Values that are genuinely part of your hardware come back identical every time. Values that have been altered by something sitting between the app and the system often do not, and that disagreement is what the app surfaces.

WHAT IT INSPECTS

• Build fingerprint, model, manufacturer and system properties
• Hardware-backed key attestation, including the full certificate chain and root of trust
• Verified boot state and bootloader status
• Kernel identity, /proc and /sys entries, loaded modules, SELinux state
• CPU topology, SoC identity, memory and sensor capabilities
• Display, camera, audio, Bluetooth, NFC and biometric capabilities
• Network configuration, DNS and interface state
• Native library integrity, memory maps and dynamic linker state

Every reading is shown to you with its value in each of the four processes, so you can see the evidence rather than a verdict you have to take on faith.

HOW TO READ THE RESULTS

Each row is marked SAME when all processes agree, SUSPICIOUS when something is unusual but explainable, or TAMPERED when the processes disagree in a way that normal Android behaviour does not produce. A clean device typically shows a handful of SUSPICIOUS rows — developer options and USB debugging alone will do it — which is why the headline verdict tracks only genuine mismatches.

Filters let you jump straight to mismatches, errors, or the attestation chain.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO

• It does not require root, and does not modify anything on your device
• It does not remove, block, or protect against anything — it only reports
• It is not an antivirus and makes no security guarantee
• It does not upload your data

PRIVACY

AKDetector has no account, no server, and no analytics. Everything it reads about your device is processed on the device and shown on your screen; none of it is transmitted, stored off-device, or sold. The app is supported by ads, and the Google AdMob SDK collects data of its own — that collection is described in full in the privacy policy, and in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent before any ad is requested. You can change or withdraw that consent at any time from the Privacy button in the app.

WHO IT IS FOR

Anyone verifying that a phone is what it claims to be — people checking a second-hand purchase, developers debugging device-specific behaviour, testers confirming a build, and anyone curious about what their hardware actually reports.
