device profiles
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Xiaomi), so it is an OEM preinstall, but 5 different certificates appear across the fleet, so OEMs ship their own builds of it.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 58 permissions: 7 runtime (user-granted), 16 signature or system-level, 15 install-time and 20 vendor or uncatalogued.
- Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
Declared permissions (58)
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.
