The functionality in question involves preventing the execution of code or processes before the primary operating system initialization on an Android device. This typically relates to operations that manufacturers or carriers might initiate during the boot sequence. For example, this may block carrier-specific customization or application installations happening during the initial startup.
Preventing these pre-boot actions can result in improved device performance by reducing the load during startup. It can also grant users more control over their device’s initial configuration, circumventing unwanted software installations. Historically, this capability has been sought by users aiming for a cleaner, more streamlined Android experience, closer to the stock Android operating system.
