pkg(misc): telresources removal causes battery drain and radio flapping
- Package name: com.android.frameworks.telresources
- Current list: Misc
- Proposed list: (unchanged)
- Current removal: Recommended
- Proposed removal: Advanced if this reproduces on other devices; otherwise keep Recommended (only one device tested so far)
- Current description: Completely empty package. Safe to remove.
- Proposed description: Resource-only package with no code, permissions or components (declares process com.qualcomm.telephony, coreApp). It does nothing itself, but the phone process (com.android.phone) requires it to be installed: on ZTE Z3001S (Android 7.1.1), removing it made com.android.phone crash-loop, causing radio flapping, timezone resets and battery drain. No benefit to removing it.
Evidence: after pm uninstall -k --user 0, logcat showed a repeating FATAL EXCEPTION: main / java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.frameworks.telresources in com.android.phone. Restoring the package stopped it.
Request for testing: could people with other devices (especially Qualcomm-based ones) check? After removal, run adb logcat | grep -i telresources and look for the FATAL EXCEPTION. If it reproduces on several devices, Advanced fits. If it's only the Z3001S and a few others, Recommended with a device-specific note may be enough. Restore on Android 7.1.1 needs a Binder call (pm install-existing doesn't exist there): https://gist.github.com/PrinceGarth/98da7cf2c6710f075b2e9f8ec26981ac
