One of the peculiarities of Android is the great versatility it has when it comes to being modified by a third party. Thus, in countries like Spain, an interface similar to Google’s is valued, while in the East a more colorful aspect is requested.
This also affects the internal functions of the manufacturer layers, which are adapted to different countries. The problem is that with so many variables on top of Android AOSP the potential problems skyrocket.
That is why Google has launched the initiative Android Partner Vulnerability Initiative (AVPI) to monitor possible problems that may exist.
