I don’t want to uninstall or disable that app because of the message about it that they add:
eUICC (embedded UICC) refers to the architectural standards for eSIM, a device used to securely store one or more SIM card profiles, which are the unique identifiers and cryptographic keys used by cellular network service providers to uniquely identify and securely connect to mobile network devices.
I would still like to know if it is advisable to disable those trackers or could they still break something?
If you’re wondering I’m on LineageOS
threaded - newest
not included on my LineageOS 🤷
Hmm, it must be something to do with my phone company
Do you use or plan on using an eSIM? I think that system app is responsible for the settings menus that let you add and set up an eSIM. GrapheneOS doesn’t have this app either. Probably won’t be an issue if you’re sticking to physical SIM cards.
I say disable them and see what happens. For science!
But also maybe not because I found this in my search:
https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/issues/822
So it sounds like it may actually be important. But I would cowboy that shit and disable it to see what happens.
I’ve already disabled them, everything seems to be working normally at the moment
AppManager is oversensitive about trackers. I’m using TrackerControl for that.
Appmanager is more precise because it does it at the system level, Trackercontrol only uses third party lists through a VPN, the same could be done with RethinkDNS or DNSNet
