Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time.

As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.

Allows an application to write to external storage.

Allows an application to read or write the secure system settings.
