A placeholder Android APK that occupies the com.google.android.safetycore package name so Google cannot install or update the real SafetyCore app. It works by causing a signature mismatch when Google attempts to replace it.
Use cases
- block Google SafetyCore from installing on my Android phone
- permanently disable SafetyCore updates
- debloat Google apps without root
- prevent Google from silently installing system services
- replace a preinstalled Google app with a dummy APK
When to choose
- you want to stop Google from installing or re-enabling SafetyCore on your Android device
- you already debloat your phone and want a permanent block without root
When to avoid
- you rely on SafetyCore features such as sensitive-content warnings
- your device has SafetyCore baked into the system partition and you have no root access
- you are not comfortable using adb to uninstall packages
