This is the app called Franco Kernel Manager, one of the best kernel managers that are out there... Even when it was outdated (which I think that's the cause it got booted from the PlayStore?).

I used it to check the process of my phone and monitor the active and idle drain mostly, I paid for it a long time ago, but now it just fails to check the licence and it doesn't let me use it fully... I think there must be a cracked APK over there...

EDIT:

Fortunately the app is back in the store and hopefully that update version comes soon enough!

You can crack most apps using Lucky Patcher

Make sure you get it from the official website though

Looks like the luckypatcher.com and .info are both terribly spammy. Even with pureapk the download ended up being something called bluejay. Of course the play store chimed in and said installing it would be a horrible idea. I assume I just picked 3 fake sites to download from

Luckypatchers.com is the real one.
Also you should avoid pureapk, it has malware.
I recommend sticking to apkmirror if the application is available there.

Ublock Origin kicks up repeated warnings for this.

Show screenshot.
Not even virustotal finds anything wrong with the domain.

Not quite a screen shot, but the text:

uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

Because of the following filter:

/click.php?key=*&zone_id=$document Found in:

uBlock filters – Badware risks

The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it's not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.

Is your Ublock Origins & lists updated fully and configured right? Because Ublock Origins is supposed to be blocking the malvertisements from being shown at all.
At least it does for me on Firefox-nightly & Mull.

Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn't block those outright. It's a useful option for when I'm using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.

Thank you, and yes pureapk is a trash site.
