device profiles
- Signed by the device maker's own signing key (Samsung), so it is an OEM preinstall, and that single certificate is consistent across all 11 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 72 permissions: 4 runtime (user-granted), 35 signature or system-level, 14 install-time and 19 vendor or uncatalogued.
- Reported as an updated system app on 9 of 11 profiles - a newer build is installed over the one in the system image there.
Declared permissions (72)
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.
