not really necessary. the point is that the ControlPanel.apk exists only in the full package. if you cannot find the apk in /system/apps, then the control panel is not flashed well. how did you flash it? in recovery or in updater app?
make sure you choose the correct version, System 1 or System 2.
Bad flashing must be the case. I'm using the updater app to do the flash as well, as I'm still on Mi-recovery and do not know how to change it haha!
I've also tried flashing to both systems (both 3.2.8) and no success on either.
Try to go with root explorer to /system/app found ControlPanel.apk & see permissions, they must be: rw-r--r--

It is nowhere to be found anywhere under the root directories of the phone, even under com.miui abbreviations. As fusionjack said it could be a flashing problem, which I hope I am sure to overcome!
