Notes & quirks on this firmware

  • Android 12 (Android TV, API 31), build BRAVIA_VH1_CN-user 12 STT2.230505.001.S89 625561 release-keys
  • China firmware (ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-sonyfy20-tv): no GMS, no Play Store and no
  • Google TV launcher. 2.9 GB RAM, armeabi-v7a only, security patch 2025-09-01.
  • Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
  • Stock launcher/Home:
  • com.dangbei.TVHomeLauncher/com.dangbei.leard.leradlauncher.ui.sony.main.MainActivity
  • (当贝桌面 "电视桌面"; system priv-app /system/system_ext/priv-app/ChinaHome.apk)
  • It is NOT in build-and-install.sh's KNOWN_STOCK_LAUNCHERS, so install the reference launcher with
  • STOCK_LAUNCHER=none and leave Dangbei enabled as the fallback; `cmd package set-home-activity` was
  • used explicitly. Home survived a reboot.
  • Live TV / tuner app: com.sony.dtv.tvx (.MainActivity). Keep com.sony.dtv.tvinput.*, tvapi,
  • sonysystemservice, sonyvendorservice, settingsprovider, systemupdate/update, braviasync*,
  • partnerkeycn (enclave/DRM keys), preinappfiltering and all com.mediatek.*: they drive HDMI, the
  • tuner, DRM, OTA, CEC and the remote.
  • Kept by owner's choice: com.sony.dangbeimarket (应用中心, the Dangbei app store),
  • com.hpplay.happyplay.aw (乐播投屏/HappyCast, the only casting path without Google Cast) and
  • com.dangbei.TVHomeLauncher (fallback Home). Preinstalled content apps (银河奇异果, 芒果TV,
  • NewTV极光, 央视频TV, CIBN酷喵, 油桃TV) are not listed either; disable them individually if unused.
  • Already disabled at the factory: com.sony.dtv.mysony, livingfit, iot, b2b.vendorprotocol, b2b.softap.
  • Quirks on this firmware:
  • - There is no tv.samba.ssm, no com.google.android.feedback and no
  • com.sony.dtv.promos/sonyselect/sonytab. The Sony ACR/ad-ID stack is absent on this China build;
  • ad surfaces are the Dangbei home/store, HappyCast and the preinstalled content apps.
  • - com.sony.dtv.b2b.hotelmode is PERSISTENT: pm disable-user marks it disabled and its components
  • stop, but system_server still starts the process at boot (~6 MB PSS). Reboot-checked.
  • - com.sonyericsson.idd.agent can be disabled, but the native iddd / idd-logreader daemons
  • (vendor.semc.system.idd) keep running; only root stops them.
  • - KEYCODE_TV_INPUT opens the system input panel without the launcher's InputKeyService.
  • - ro.product.model / ro.product.device report "BRAVIA VH1"/"BRAVIA_VH1"; only the fingerprint and
  • build display id carry the _CN suffix.
  • - Reboot-checked and used for several days without issues. If something breaks,
  • `pm enable <package>` and please open an issue.
