TCL 75" C755 QD-Mini LED (2024) Debloat List

Notes & quirks on this firmware

• Android 14 (Google TV), firmware UTT2.250416.001 AU02, product G08_4K_GB. About 2.4 GB RAM.
• Same G08 board as examples/tcl-qm6k-google-tv; that list was the starting point.
• Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
• Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx. Live TV / HDMI app: com.tcl.tv.
• Keep: com.tcl.tv, com.tcl.tvinput, com.tcl.dashboard, com.tcl.suspension, com.tcl.autopair,
• com.tcl.systemserver, com.tcl.providers.config, com.tcl.initsetup, com.tcl.useragreement,
• com.tcl.globalkeyoverlay, com.tcl.systemui.plugin, com.tcl.factory.view, com.tcl.inputmethod.international
• (the keyboard), com.tcl.eva, com.tcl.hearaid (sound/accessibility + TCL wireless speakers),
• com.tcl.t_solo, tv.mopa.ginga (broadcast middleware) and all com.mediatek.* except AirPlay.
• Firmware updates arrive through Google Play Services (no separate TCL updater on this set).
• Also keep com.google.android.tv.remote.service: despite the name ("phone-app remote") it holds
• AtvSearchAssistantService, which carries the Bluetooth remote's mic button. Disabled, the mic did nothing.
• Keep com.tcl.suspension too: it IS the source panel the remote's Input button opens.
• Applied and verified on a real unit on 2026-10-20: Wi-Fi, HDMI switching (Inputs menu), Assistant,
• Disney+/Netflix playback with AdGuard Private DNS, and the launcher's clock screensaver all worked.
• Second unit, UAE, same firmware (UTT2.250416.001 AU02, G08_4K_GB), applied in one session on 2026-10-27:
• the same list, except AirPlay, Miracast, T-Cast and the game bar were kept, and Netflix, Prime Video and
• YouTube were disabled too (owner's choice; Stan was not installed). All 33 packages stayed disabled
• across two reboots, and power-on lands on the launcher, not Live TV. HDMI switching from the Inputs menu,
• the Input button's source panel, the mic, and SmartTube playback with AdGuard Private DNS worked.
• - setupwraith owned a saved Wi-Fi network that was out of range, so TV Settings never listed it to
• forget; the TV was on a different network saved from Settings. `cmd wifi forget-network <id>` on the
• setupwraith-owned ID (`cmd wifi list-networks`, `dumpsys wifi | grep cname=`) cleared it, and
• tools/disable.sh then disabled setupwraith with Wi-Fi unaffected.
• - This remote's YouTube button is KEYCODE_BUTTON_3 (190, scancode 240, usage 0x000c0057), not 4065;
• with launcherx disabled it goes to launcherx's GlobalKeyListener_Receiver and does nothing. The gear
• button worked with settings_key_keycodes 83 + 4077 and HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1.
• - Key helpers cost the volume ramp on this Android 14 firmware too (docs/devices/tcl-55p71b-g09-key-repeat.md):
• with HomeKeyService and InputKeyService bound, a held Volume Up moves one step; with the list empty and
• accessibility_enabled 0 it ramps. The owner kept the ramp and no helpers.
• Known quirks on this firmware:
• - The remote (BT_RC833_A1) sends KEYCODE_TV_INPUT for Input, and TCL's input policy hands it to
• com.tcl.suspension before accessibility services see it, so INPUT_KEY_SERVICE=1 can't redirect it.
• The Input button keeps opening TCL's source panel; the launcher's Inputs pill opens the glass menu.
• - With com.tcl.interactive disabled, com.tcl.tv logs "tias_sdk getService failure" ~10x/s for a few
• seconds when the TV player starts, then stops. CPU on HDMI measured the same (~23%) with it on or off.
• - Disabling dreamx: set screensaver_components to com.gathin.tvhome/.ClockDream first.
• with launcherx gone, setupwraith's RecoveryActivity claims HOME at priority 1 (blank screen).
• Kept on this unit: uncomment if you don't use them
