com.android.dreams.phototable Copy

This is Photo Screensavers, an Android Open Source Project screensaver ("dream") that shows an animated arrangement of photos from the device while it is idle, typically when docked or charging. Its AOSP source (package com.android.dreams.phototable) reads images from a local source on the device. It is one of the built-in screensaver options that can be selected in Settings. The screensaver framework was introduced in Android 4.2 (2012) under the name "Daydream"; the user-facing option is now generally labelled "Screen saver". This package is the photo-table dream within that framework. It is AOSP code signed by the device maker, so it appears across many manufacturers rather than being a Google application. For Android Enterprise, EMM and kiosk fleets it is low risk. It does nothing unless a screensaver is enabled and the device is idle while charging or docked, and it only works with images already on the device. On single-purpose or kiosk devices, where an always-on or custom idle screen is generally used instead, it is usually unnecessary and can be disabled without affecting core device function.

• Re-signed by each device maker with its own platform key - 10 different certificates appear across 8 device makers in our sample. That is the signature of a stock AOSP/system package every OEM builds and signs itself, not a single maker's or a third party's preinstall.
• Its largest observed manifest declares 10 permissions: 6 runtime (user-granted), 2 install-time and 2 vendor or uncatalogued.
• Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
