ProfileManager: Native and Real profiles. Need an explanation

[Vavun]

Hi.

Could someone please explain the purpose and difference between the Native and Real profiles in Google device registration ?
I've never used this feature, but I would like to correctly translate it into my native languages.

There are even more profiles in the code for the internal needs of the microG, so I'm even more confused now.

Native is to register a device of the same type with same software version as the actual device, but randomized hardware id, real is the same with real hardware id

@mar-v-in thanks for your answer.

Since an extended explanation in this strings is not possible ,is it worth changing the default strings to something like this?

Your device (Randomized H/W ID)
Your device (Real H/W ID)

GmsCore/play-services-core/src/main/res/values/strings.xml

Lines 215 to 216 in 720823e

	<string name="profile_name_native">Native</string>
	<string name="profile_name_real">Real</string>

To keep current names (but explaining them) I propose this:

• Native (your device but with random S/N)
• Real (your device)
