com.samsung.android.app.omcagent Copy

A Samsung system component that this site currently records under the label "Recommended apps". Its package name follows Samsung's "omc" naming: the same Samsung-published Galaxy Note9 application list cited below also records a separate package, com.sec.android.omc, under the label "OM Customize". It sits alongside the CSC package documented above in Samsung's device customisation layer. The honest limitation first: Samsung does not publish documentation for this package, so what it actually presents to a user is not sourceable, and this note does not guess. Beyond the vendor's own listings, the descriptions circulating for it come from APK catalogues and general Android blogs, which is not a basis for a functional claim. Version note, and it is a real one. Samsung's Common Criteria application lists record this same package under a different label in earlier releases: "Configuration update" on the Galaxy Note9 (the Oreo-era N960N list, version 5.0.38) and again on the Galaxy S20 (the R-era G981U list, version 5.3.22). Current devices on this site report it as "Recommended apps", at versions ranging from 5.4.24 to 9.0.07 and observed from API 31 through API 37. A label that moves from a configuration term to a recommendation term points at a change in what the package surfaces, but the release at which that happened, and what changed with it, could not be sourced. It is flagged here rather than hidden behind an evergreen description. For Android Enterprise, EMM and kiosk use, treat unwanted vendor content as a policy question rather than a package question. Samsung's Knox Service Plugin exposes a "Show Galaxy Store application" policy controlling the visibility of the Galaxy Store, and Samsung notes that on One UI 8.5 the Galaxy Store is hidden by default on managed devices. Where a specific preinstalled app needs to be enabled or blocked, Samsung documents doing that through the Android Enterprise application policies in the EMM console rather than by stripping packages. No disable rating is given below, because the package's function is not documented.

• Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Samsung), so it is an OEM preinstall, but 2 different certificates appear across the fleet, so OEMs ship their own builds of it. It also signs the Android framework, so it is a platform-level key on its device(s). Inferred from the certificate appearing only on Samsung devices (508 packages, 10196 observations).
• Its largest observed manifest declares 32 permissions: 1 runtime (user-granted), 5 signature or system-level, 6 install-time and 20 vendor or uncatalogued.
• APK size ranges from 4.6 MB to 8.1 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.
