Found the git-hub. Appears to be a GPS-tracking software, may not be the same AndroSpy, but there it is.

Also, no, I do not work as a software engineer anymore because it's a godawful profession that turns people like me into severely churlish assholes.

Also, ain't got any of my goddamn equipment to work with. It's all hidden or in storage because I gotta find a new place to loving live where I ain't gotta deal with this bullshit before the computer I need to analyze the data can even be built (and rest assured I'm the only one here who is gonna lift a loving finger on that referendum).

The OP doesn't sound particularly bright so I figured it might have been real, and he could have been looking at the Smart Stay icon and getting paranoid about it. But I guess it's pretty obvious that he's trolling, I mean you're right, if this were real he'd have posted some proof by now.

Let's see, I live in the same house as him, hence we are connected to the same router. How are you unable to make the connection that we would have the same IP by virtue of computing on the same subnet? Am I misunderstanding TCP/IP subnetting here or are you sub-trolls just relying on whatever IP data the forum software is reporting.

If I ain't done it before then naturally how the gently caress would I know? I'm not a computer security expert, just have a browser's worth of unread tabs that'll probably be infinitely more helpful than any single molecule presently arranging your physical form. I deploy basic `luks` and `LVM` for my own poo poo.

Also, I wasn't being sarcastic. I ain't a software engineer at all. I quit that poo poo. Not enough dough to justify the irritation, as we can clearly see. All my experience is in out-of-vogue desktop bullshit and ancient programming languages to the effect of Perl and ksh. I ain't had time or monetary incentive to bone up on Android internals, and even if I wanted to I can't get two moments of peace in this loving State without somebody bothering me.

Just look at this thread and all you impatient bastards. Do you work in software or management. If it were the latter then that would certainly explain how you have no sense of proportion for the fact that extensive analysis of three storage device images (or more, depending on the number of partitions per data device) cloned with dd or Clonezilla would take longer than your kinder-grade attention spans may be able to abide.

It is not possible for third party apps to put icons next to the time. That area is for system icons, unless you're rooted and running Xposed for customization. Are you?

It's not possible for a third party app to be installed as a system app without root, either, and it's not possible to root a Samsung phone remotely. The phone must be plugged in. In addition to that, any apps that require root access will ask for it, so you would have had to not only root your phone for this to possible, you'd also have had to give the app root access to install itself as a system app or make any changes to system files.

You said that no one has access to your phone except you. So it's one of two options: you rooted your phone and installed some weird poo poo, or you're mistaking a system icon for spyware. There's no third option. You can't root a Note 2 remotely, it has to be plugged in, and you'd have had to authorize any apps that required root access to run on your phone in the first place. Unless you're lying about no one else having access to your phone, there's simply no way this could be done.

So you're lying about something. Either the whole story is a lie, or you're omitting information because you don't want to look like an idiot (in which case I've got some bad news for you).

The phone is not rooted. Its not shoved up my rear end 24/7, it' a possibility someone could have surreptitiously gotten it from me for the 60 seconds it take to install such a thing.
