Xiaomi Package Installer

Risk: Essential
Source: Manufacturer
What it is: System core

What it is

The non-AOSP package installer present in the Xioami phones. It also checks the installed app for viruses.

The AOSP package installer is also present in Xioami EU ROMs.

Careful: Removal causes bootloop on Xiaomi EU ROMs.

This package does not come off. It is part of the system core, and removing it leaves the device unusable or stuck in a boot loop. It is listed so you can recognise it, not so you can touch it.

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.
