[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] SteveRiley:
Just flashed 2.4 along with the Settings fix over 2.1. Now going through with Titanium Backup to remove more apps I don't use. Just noticed AASAservice, which I don't remember seeing before. What is this? Google isn't much help. A lot of de-bloat scripts remove this, but I'm curious what it is. The manifest is pretty weak:

$ [b]aapt l -a AASAservice.apk[/b]
AndroidManifest.xml
classes.dex

META-INF/CERT.SF
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
