Please install some app manger app and give us the full dot name (like com.some.bullshit.app) and your phone brand and modell and provider if bought over one. We can help better then.
Could be a refresh of the Absolute rootkit scandal, at least it's not an AOSP app. It must be from your vendor or provider.
The package name is:
com.google.android.as.oss
It's listed in the Google Play store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.as.oss
The source code is available on GitHub here:
https://github.com/google/private-compute-services
There is a disable button right there...
What should I do, I tried to disable it but it again activates when I restart phone?
Sounds like malware
And it looks to be unusable
I removed this from my fold 3 and we're good so far. Mind you this is my "can I degoogle and unsamsung a z fold?" phone.
I cleared the app data, restricted background data, restricted app battery usage, removed any permissions, force stopped & disabled this, & it hasn't re-enabled after a phone restart.
Wait for a system update...😉
The most reliable way to remove unwanted system packages is using adb. I'm not familiar with this package though, so don't blame me if this causes issues on your phone :P
But I removed that app via ADB and my device works just fine
This is a bass system service/app and will definitely cause problems if removed.
Not a usual one no. This app is not part of AOSP. Is it a usual Pixel system app?
It is a default Pixel app and is used by Private Compute Core to update the core's AI models. It's used by features like Live Caption, Smart Reply, and Now Playing. Just like Private Compute Core, it's fully open-source: https://github.com/google/private-compute-services
Yeah removing it is a treble idea.
So what you're saying is that they shouldn't drop the bass
Fish or rhythm section?
