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.

device profiles
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Motorola), so it is an OEM preinstall, but 3 different certificates appear across the fleet, so OEMs ship their own builds of it.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 35 permissions: 2 runtime (user-granted), 8 signature or system-level, 9 install-time and 16 vendor or uncatalogued.
- APK size ranges from 6.7 MB to 11.4 MB across the reporting device profiles, so the build differs substantially between them.
- Never reported as user-facing, so it runs as a background or system component rather than an app the user opens.
Declared permissions (35)
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. |
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. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE |
Allows the app to make use of foreground services with the type "specialUse" |
GET_TASKS |
Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. This may allow the app to discover information about which applications are used on the device. |
GET_TOP_ACTIVITY_INFO |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
INTERNAL_SYSTEM_WINDOW |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
MANAGE_ACTIVITY_TASKS |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES |
Allows an app to see all installed packages. |
READ_CONTACTS |
Allows the app to read data about your contacts stored on your phone. Apps will also have access to the accounts on your phone that have created contacts. This may include accounts created by apps you have installed. This permission allows apps to save your contact data, and malicious apps may share contact data without your knowledge. |
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. |
REMOVE_TASKS |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
REORDER_TASKS |
Allows the app to move tasks to the foreground and background. The app may do this without your input. |
START_TASKS_FROM_RECENTS |
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_APPLICATION_OVERLAY |
Signature-level system permission, for platform-signed apps. |
VIBRATE |
Allows the app to control the vibrator. |
WAKE_LOCK |
Allows the app to prevent the phone from going to sleep. |
WRITE_SETTINGS |
Allows the app to modify the system's settings data. Malicious apps may corrupt your system's configuration. |
