I'm using CalyxOS and it's pre-installed as a system app, so this seems like something that's being built in at the AOSP level of development.
DivestOS here, it's not in my ROM.
Are you looking at system apps? It's installed as a system app on my phone using GrapheneOS
com.android.devicelockcontroller
Looks like it's an AOSP app
I see it on Graphene too, took away its network perms at least.
Yep, I checked a few places, in the end ClassyShark seemed to be the best place to see everything.
I don't doubt it's part of AOSP, but that doesn't mean it needs to be left in the ROM.
iodéOS here and I can't find it on my phone either (yes I looked at the system apps)
Can't find it in OxygenOS
Did you check your system apps? It's an AOSP app, so I would be surprised if this were the case. It could be under either
com.google
orcom.android
.Yeah I did it's not there
I still would be very surprised if this were the case. Unfortunately it seems that OxygenOS does not have public repositories to actually check the source code (!), but there are apps that will actually show you all of your installed packages and I bet one of those would show that it's installed.
I've got it on OOS14, I've got an EU OP11
