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.

Declared permissions (30)

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_COARSE_LOCATION`	This app can get your approximate location from location services while the app is in use. Location services for your device must be turned on for the app to get location.
`ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION`	This app can get your precise location from location services while the app is in use. Location services for your device must be turned on for the app to get location. This may increase battery usage.
`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`	Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected.
`ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY`	Allows the app to read and write Do Not Disturb configuration.
`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.
`CAMERA`	This app can take pictures and record videos using the camera while the app is in use.
`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.
`DEVICE_POWER`	Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps.
`DISABLE_KEYGUARD`	Allows the app to disable the keylock and any associated password security. For example, the phone disables the keylock when receiving an incoming phone call, then re-enables the keylock when the call is finished.
`FOREGROUND_SERVICE`	Allows the app to make use of foreground services.
`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.
`NFC`	Allows the app to communicate with Near Field Communication (NFC) tags, cards, and readers.
`READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`	Allows the app to read the contents of your shared storage.
`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_SYNC_SETTINGS`	Allows the app to read the sync settings for an account. For example, this can determine whether the People app is synced with an account.
`REAL_GET_TASKS`	Signature or privileged system permission.
`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.
`SET_WALLPAPER`	Allows the app to set the system wallpaper.
`STOP_APP_SWITCHES`	Signature or privileged system permission.
`SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW`	This app can appear on top of other apps or other parts of the screen. This may interfere with normal app usage and change the way that other apps appear.
`SYSTEM_OVERLAY_WINDOW`	-
`VIBRATE`	Allows the app to control the vibrator.
`WAKE_LOCK`	Allows the app to prevent the phone from going to sleep.
`WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE`	Allows the app to write the contents of your shared storage.
`WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE`	Signature or privileged system permission.
`WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS`	Signature or privileged system permission.
`WRITE_SETTINGS`	Allows the app to modify the system's settings data. Malicious apps may corrupt your system's configuration.
`WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS`	Allows an app to modify the sync settings for an account. For example, this can be used to enable sync of the People app with an account.

Manage on devices

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.

Disable for the current user

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.hmdglobal.app.camera

Remove for the current user - a per-user uninstall; the APK stays on /system, so Restore re-adds it (-k keeps app data)

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hmdglobal.app.camera

Re-enable

adb shell pm enable com.hmdglobal.app.camera

Restore (re-install for the current user)

adb shell pm install-existing com.hmdglobal.app.camera
