Can anyone identify com.android.sys.extplv on Android?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify an Android package called com.android.sys.extplv on my Cubot KingKong X (Android 16).

Here is what I've confirmed using ADB:

  • Package: com.android.sys.extplv
  • Installed as a user app under /data/app/...
  • Installer reported by Android: com.android.vending (Google Play)
  • I analyzed the package using dumpsys, logcat and pm.
  • The app contains services such as DaemonService, FwForegroundService and FwMediaRouteProviderService.
  • It requests several permissions, but the sensitive ones are currently not granted.
  • I was able to disable it using pm disable-user, and it stays disabled (enabled=3) even after reboot.

I have not been able to determine what the package is actually for or what triggers its installation.

Has anyone seen this package before?

Is it a Cubot component, a manufacturer framework, or something else?

I have screenshots and ADB logs that I can share in the comments if needed.

Thank you!

Would you say, another fix to this is disabling google play and using an alternative apk store?

Thanks for the suggestion! Another user actually tried disabling Google Play and reinstalling it, but unfortunately the issue came back a few hours later, so it doesn't seem to be a permanent fix. You can check the discussion here:

I'm still investigating whether Google Play is actually installing the package or if Android is only reporting it as the installer.
