#### Forensic analysis and diagnostics of Android devices over USB

Plug in an Android phone with USB debugging enabled and PhoneVitals collects
its specifications, checks that the device is consistent with itself, and
measures the condition of its components.

* Authenticity: IMEI check digits, agreement between the identities the
  Android partitions declare, Verified Boot and bootloader state, Samsung
  Knox fuse, and hardware key attestation from the secure environment.
* Health: battery cycles and remaining capacity, internal storage wear,
  real CPU, RAM, storage and display figures read from the kernel.
* Functional tests and live sensor charts: accelerometer, gyroscope,
  magnetometer, light, proximity, barometer, GNSS satellites, touch.

No root is required and nothing is installed on the phone: a small helper
runs from a temporary folder and is removed at the end of the session.

PhoneVitals is an aid to understanding a phone's condition, for example
before buying or selling it. Its results are indicative and provided as is,
without warranty of any kind; they are not a certification, and the authors
accept no liability for decisions based on them or for any damage arising
from its use.

USB access needs the adb-support interface, which is not connected
automatically:

```
 sudo snap connect phonevitals:adb-support
```

The automatic loudspeaker test listens through the computer's microphone,
which needs:

```
 sudo snap connect phonevitals:audio-record
```
