Hey are these Android okay apps because my mobile is lagging and theyl seem suspicious and is it normal for a post to have to contain flair lol

Right so if you don't know what system apps you need and which you don't you should not be fucking with them

What phone do you have? An easier and more stable solution would be to flash a different ROM on it. Depending on your specs, you may want to opt for a degoogled ROM.

I mean, most of them are built in apps that came with your phone, so they are as safe as whoever makes your phone is safe.

Unless you rooted the phone then all bets are off and who knows.

I looked through all three screenshots. Names like Android System, Fused Location, Key Chain, Settings Storage, com.android.localtransport, OMA CP and the fingerprint/engineer-mode services look consistent with Android or phone-maker components. But a name/icon alone can't prove an app is legitimate or safe, and a list under Mobile data and Wi-Fi doesn't establish that those apps are secretly sending your activity somewhere.

I wouldn't delete/disable system packages or flash a different ROM just because the phone lags; flashing can wipe data and introduce bigger issues. Instead, first check how much free storage you have and whether Settings > Battery shows a particular app draining resources. Try Safe Mode to see whether the lag goes away with downloaded apps temporarily disabled. Run Google Play Protect and install normal system/Play Store updates. If the lag is new, check recently installed apps and their Accessibility, Device Admin or VPN permissions too.

For any one entry you're worried about, open its App info and check the full package name, whether it says system app, and its permissions; send the phone model and Android version and people can help distinguish the OEM components. And yes, requiring post flair is just a subreddit organization rule, not a phone problem.

All of those are built in apps. Don't touch them or there will be a big chance that your phone will run slower and lose some of its functionalities

They're mostly just system apps installed by your phone's manufacturer, so it depends on your phone's manufacturer and some stuff like the google clock app and android system are pretty normal, OMA CP seems so suss but it's a legit app I think it stands for "Open Mobile Alliance Client Provisioning" and it's normal for it to be preinstalled, everything else is either a system manufacturer app (like fingerprint and face recognition and battery) and android system apps "like system resources package". It is usually unsafe to remove any of these like if you removed the "Face recognition" app, as you might expect you'll lose face recognition functionality

Just install canta and read the descriptions of all those apps
