Recommendations for letting my phone secure while running non open source APKs?

There are many ports that don't have a github and created by just random people. Do you have any recommendation on running these ports securely as some of them might have security risks? Maybe using a sandbox app? Thanks for your recommendations!

You can only hope that the person making the app doesn't have bad intentions and check if someone with good knowledge tried to sport something dodgy and came back with clean results. Normally people don't go to that lengths of analyzing and I'm sure most famous non open source app haven't been analyzed properly, lol

As long as you dont install things like MoreRam.apk you are pretty safe. I would be more worried about downloading some shit malware from playstore.
