In an investigation, such as for the administration of office devices, Android is one of the most probable source of evidence to hold crucial evidences. This evidences can be in the form of chat log, call log, and internet history. Evidences from Android devices can be acquired from Sim card, memory, and storage. But there has been minimal effort on the collection and maintenance of these evidences. There is a need for a development of a tool for evidence collection and maintenance. Some threats that arise from the existence of this tool may include threats on the integrity of evidences and confidentiality of user’s data. One of the approaches for evidence collection is a rooted Android application. The evidence collector tool will be installed on the Android devices as an application with root privilege. Because it has root privilege, the tool will be able to collect potential evidences by seeing through the storage used by other application. Once collected, evidences will be encrypted and stored.When requested by investigators, the evidence collector tool can decrypt the evidence to prepare for analysis by the investigators. This research has produces an application that has the ability to collect and store potential evidences. The application also ensure the integrity of the evidences from the moment its stored until its acquired by the investigators. The evidences are encrypted before it is stored to protect the confidentiality of its user’s data. However, the evidence collector tool may be further developed by using different approach to allow non-rooted Android to use it.
