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.

- Reported as an updated system app on 2 of 1 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (66)
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.

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.

Signature or privileged system permission. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE |

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.nothing.launcher
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.nothing.launcher
Re-enable
adb shell pm enable com.nothing.launcher
Restore (re-install for the current user)
adb shell pm install-existing com.nothing.launcher
