What it is

Package installer

Hardcoded in Xiaomi China Rom.

Causes BOOTLOOP on Chinese ROM When remove.

It's weird when after a month this app is gone from my phone for no reason and Android enabled stock package installer.

Commands

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.packageinstaller

To put it back:

adb shell cmd package install-existing com.miui.packageinstaller

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.
