What it is

Always On Display

When enabled in settings it shows clock and notifications when you raise the phone or touch the screen.

This is basically a lower-power lock-screen. It could in theory reduce power draw if you check notifications/clock often as OLED screens draw minimal power showing a mostly black screen(black = pixel off), but in practice the number of times you'll unintentionally trigger it will likely eat up any potential power savings and more. And if your device doesn't have an OLED screen this will draw way more power.

Most of these power savings could be applied to your standard lock-screen simply by making your background image completely black.

RedSkull23 says it's unsafe to remove. Does it bootloop?

Commands

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.aod

To put it back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.huawei.aod

Every removal listed here is per-user only: the system image is untouched, and the restore command puts the app back from the copy already on the device. Nothing is downloaded.

This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
