Manage on devices

ADB commands for this package (the inverse of each is included so you can undo). Run from an authorised shell or wire the equivalent into your DPC. Verify on a test device first - this database doesn’t yet classify which packages are safe to change. --user 0 targets the current user; drop it (and use a privileged shell) to act device-wide.

Core platform package. Disabling or uninstalling this can break boot, the system UI, telephony, or app installs, so those commands are hidden. Only the recovery commands are shown - useful if it was previously disabled.
Re-enable
adb shell pm enable com.android.shell
Restore (re-install for the current user)
adb shell pm install-existing com.android.shell

Seen on

Each record is a device profile (make + model + Android version). Each unique handset that syncs against a matching profile will increase the observations of a package, thereby increasing confidence that a package is expected to be on a device.
