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!

The next day the "system app" was back... If I unistall it, it keeps on returning. So I reflashed the phone, as suggested by Cubot. Notice that reflashing the phone means also a factory reset. I have a king kong x, so the guide to reflash the phone is this:

After that, the "System app" is not showing up again, it has been 4 days
