Notes & quirks on this firmware
- Android TV 8.0, build OPR2.170623.027.S16 (6.827), 32-bit ARM (armeabi-v7a), 1.5 GB RAM
- Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
- Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (restore.sh's default). The only other HOME handler is
- com.android.tv.settings/.FallbackHome. setupwraith has no HOME activity on this firmware, and the
- saved Wi-Fi belongs to android.uid.system, so it is left alone.
- Live TV / input app: com.sony.dtv.tvx. Keep it: it also plays every HDMI input.
- Keep: com.sony.dtv.tvinput.*, tvplayer*, braviasync* (HDMI-CEC), remotepairing, remotecontrolsettings,
- uinputservice, imeproxy, ime.chww (the active keyboard), settingsprovider, netflixmanager (Netflix
- button), duid.generator, enclave.service, systemupdate, timers, all com.mediatek.* and mtktvapi.agent.
- Left alone on purpose: the rest of com.sony.dtv.b2b.* (hotel/pro mode plumbing), webapi.core and
- remoteaccess (Sony IP control), privacypolicy, com.google.android.leanbacklauncher (no HOME activity).
- Already disabled at the factory/by owner: com.sony.dtv.kenhchonloc, com.crackle.androidtv,
- com.sony.dtv.notifybravia, com.sony.dtv.tvcamera. Not in this list so restore.sh leaves them off.
- No Samba TV (tv.samba.ssm) on this firmware.
- Notes from this firmware:
- - build-and-install.sh hands Home over cleanly: com.google.android.tvlauncher is disabled last and
- Home resolves to com.gathin.tvhome straight away.
- - Inputs works: com.sony.dtv.tvx handles the passthrough URIs; HDMI 1-4 (with CEC device names),
- Video 1/2 and Live TV listed. Dock: Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, com.sony.dtv.tvx; live_tv_package
- com.sony.dtv.tvx; nothing hidden (the grid is Play Store, Timers, Programme guide, Screen mirroring).
- - Building on macOS with only a newer JDK: Gradle 8.9 needs JDK 17 (brew install openjdk@17) and the
- android-34 platform (sdkmanager "platforms;android-34").
- - 1.5 GB RAM. Survives a reboot straight into the new launcher; no crashes logged after boot.
- Kept by owner's choice: Chromecast (apps.mediashell), phone remote (tv.remote.service), screen mirroring (screnmirroring.com, networkapp.wifidirect), voice search (katniss, speech.pumpkin), Prime Video (amazonvideo.livingroom), HbbTV (hbbtvlauncher) and the online guide (tvx.search.s201.netepg).
Where the ads on this model come from
Built from the packages this firmware actually ships. Each one is listed below with its own risk rating.
-
Home-screen recommendation rows
Sponsored tiles are drawn by the launcher or its recommendations service rather than by a separate ad app, so removing the rows means replacing or disabling the launcher.
com.google.android.tvrecommendations
-
Vendor content apps and ad-funded channels
These vendor apps carry their own promotion rails and free ad-supported channels, and they keep advertising after the home screen is replaced because they do not depend on the launcher.
com.sony.dtv.sonyselect
-
Viewing telemetry and device identifiers
Viewing habits, automatic content recognition and device identifiers are reported by dedicated vendor and Google packages. Disabling them stops the reporting without affecting playback.
com.google.android.feedback
-
Retail demo and partner installs
Exhibition and hotel modes loop promotional content and override normal startup on demo units, while partner configuration packages reinstall promoted apps after setup.
