device profiles
- Signed by a third-party certificate (carrier or partner), not stock AOSP or Google - Verizon, and that single certificate is consistent across all 2 device profiles.
- Its largest observed manifest declares 68 permissions: 18 runtime (user-granted), 13 signature or system-level, 19 install-time and 18 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 (68)
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.
