> some of which like OMA-DM toolkits have sweeping permissions on your device. Fortunately this seems to be going away. For those not aware as to what you're talking about, this is the proprietary 'rootkit' providers like Sprint had to use to activate CDMA modems on their carriers on many of their devices that did not come with a CSIM. As it's doing a lot with the phone's modem, it needs tons of permissions on the device. Verizon Wireless and Google Fi also had similar apk's that were required to provision phones and update PRL (prority roaming list) information. In the US all modern devices on Verizon are CDMA-less and new Sprint customers are usually activated on T-Mobile network (with fallback to GSM/WCDMA not CDMA).
