Package intelligence
Observed signing, permission, version and size signals from contributing devices - descriptive of that sample, not a verdict. These come from the v2 Package Search sync, which not every device has contributed to yet, so for some packages this detail is partial or not present at all.
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (ITEL MOBILE LIMITED), so it is an OEM preinstall.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 21 permissions: 6 runtime (user-granted), 2 signature or system-level, 9 install-time and 4 vendor or uncatalogued.
Declared permissions (21)
Largest permission set observed for this package. Text is Android's own published description where one exists; platform permissions Android does not document show their granted protection level (in grey) instead; vendor or unknown constants show the name only.
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE |
Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. |
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE |
Allows the app to view information about Wi-Fi networking, such as whether Wi-Fi is enabled and name of connected Wi-Fi devices. |
BLUETOOTH |
Allows the app to view the configuration of the Bluetooth on the phone, and to make and accept connections with paired devices. |
BLUETOOTH_ADMIN |
Allows the app to configure the local Bluetooth phone, and to discover and pair with remote devices. |
CALL_PHONE |
Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention. This may result in unexpected charges or calls. Note that this doesn't allow the app to call emergency numbers. Malicious apps may cost you money by making calls without your confirmation, or dial carrier codes which cause incoming calls to be automatically forwarded to another number. |
CALL_PRIVILEGED |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
CHANGE_WIFI_STATE |
Allows the app to connect to and disconnect from Wi-Fi access points and to make changes to device configuration for Wi-Fi networks. |
GET_ACCOUNTS |
Allows the app to get the list of accounts known by the phone. This may include any accounts created by applications you have installed. |
INTERNET |
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet. |
MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL |
Signature or privileged system permission. |
READ_PHONE_STATE |
Allows the app to access the phone features of the device. This permission allows the app to determine the phone number and device IDs, whether a call is active, and the remote number connected by a call. |
READ_SMS |
This app can read all SMS (text) messages stored on your phone. |
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED |
Allows the app to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the app to slow down the overall phone by always running. |
RECORD_AUDIO |
This app can record audio using the microphone while the app is in use. |
SEND_SMS |
Allows the app to send SMS messages. This may result in unexpected charges. Malicious apps may cost you money by sending messages without your confirmation. |
WAKE_LOCK |
Allows the app to prevent the phone from going to sleep. |
WRITE_SMS |
Install-time permission, granted automatically. |

ADB commands for this package (the inverse of each is included so you can undo). Run from an authorised shell or wire the equivalent into your DPC. Verify on a test device first - this database doesn’t yet classify which packages are safe to change. --user 0 targets the current user; drop it (and use a privileged shell) to act device-wide.
