# Cannot apply keymap to BGMI in TAC — 'game not installed' error (India)

BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India — the India-specific variant of PUBG Mobile) is installed and runnable in TAC, but trying to apply a keymap via Smart Tool fails with the error "game not installed". Reported framing:

"i cant apply keymapping to bgmi it says game not installed"

Symptoms:

  BGMI launches and plays fine when started directly.
  Smart Tool's BGMI keymap option shows the game as "not installed" in its dropdown.
  Default touch UI works in BGMI but you want PC-style keymap.


Root cause: BGMI uses a different package name (com.pubg.imobile) than the global PUBG Mobile (com.tencent.ig). Smart Tool's package-detection looks for the global PUBG package and doesn't auto-detect BGMI's India-specific package.
