device lock controller

Onlyfun

is this supposed to be disabled?

Onlyfun what are you talking about? You provided zero detail about what you are referring to.

userofgos it's system package contained in Graphene os, with powerful permissions and somewhat protected from user.
I appreciate your attention and will to help, but it seems to me that if you're asking what it is you won't be able to answer should it be enabled or disabled.

Thank you too for attempt to help. I've read the thread you linked prior posting my question and was not able to find the answer. read it now and again no luck.
Please consider to read the OP subject, as it seems you skipped that part. Or kindly quote the particular lines from that thread you find to be answering the question.

It has a stubbed residue of an activity that can be launched, and it shows a page that looks like a really good dystopian poem, written by google: https://imgur.com/a/7T71gSp

But this isn't any active feature on GrapheneOS.

userofgos So often @userofgos you are our eyes on the external forums. 😉👍

userofgos thanks for linking this thread.

Except its not answering the OP. Same goes for the Mastodon links.
Its as simple as possible.
Should it be disabled? Yes or No with some basic reasoning will do. Thx

userofgos

Novalissoide nah, I'm just constantly checking for new posts and threads on the forum and X/Mastodon, learning from GrapheneOS' and other's responses. Gotten to the point where I get annoyed if there's no activity on X/Mastodon, and I don't even have an account on either 😂

Onlyfun reread the thread. Your question is answered there. See here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/11639-device-lock-controller/10

To be clear, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.devicelock is not what's included in GrapheneOS. There seems to be some confusion about that. This is the app that does what's being described.

What you see in GrapheneOS is https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/modules/DeviceLock/+/b1a971a6e29f5b426b13d96d7692e9dd5a7e81e2/DeviceLockController/

No because it cannot do what you think it can do. As can be understood here: userofgos
