Notes & quirks on this firmware
- Android 14 (Google TV), firmware UTT2.250416.001 AU16, product G08_4K_US. About 2.4 GB RAM.
- Same G08 board as examples/tcl-c755-google-tv, tcl-qm6k-google-tv and tcl-85rm7l-google-tv, on the US
- firmware build. Those lists were the starting point; this one adds what the US set ships on top (streaming
- preloads and a few TCL extras) and the Android 14 ad and privacy services.
- Second unit: TCL 55Q77K (55", model "Smart TV Pro", G08_4K_US, client type TCL-NA-MT9653-S1, MediaTek MT9653),
- same firmware UTT2.250416.001 AU16, on Ethernet. That owner applied this list on 23 October 2026 except AirPlay,
- the TCL browser and the streaming apps, kept by choice, and the set came through a reboot the same day.
- README.md has that unit's remote button codes and notes. No package changes from it: a few more it disabled
- have one day of use, not a few.
- Tested 20-21 October 2026 on one set, 37 packages in all. The first 35 were disabled, the TV was rebooted and
- all 35 were still disabled afterwards. The last two (launcherx and setupwraith) were added later for a custom
- launcher and the TV has not been rebooted since. That is about one day of use, not weeks. Everything was
- disabled by hand with `pm disable-user --user 0` (one call each, in batches of ten or fewer), not with
- tools/disable.sh.
- 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.
- Left enabled on purpose: com.tcl.tv, com.tcl.tvinput, com.tcl.suspension (the input menu), 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.gamebar (the game bar on
- this 144 Hz gaming set), com.google.android.katniss (voice), Netflix, YouTube, Play Services and all
- com.mediatek.* and com.dolby.* except the AirPlay ones.
- Also left enabled, not tried: com.tcl.ttvs (analytics; the C755 list disables it as Samba TV ACR, and on
- some TCL sets it is also the firmware updater), com.tcl.partnercustomizer, com.tcl.interactive,
- com.tcl.smartlink.core, com.tcl.UpdatePeripheral, com.google.android.partnersetup.
- Differences from the C755 list: com.tcl.dashboard, com.tcl.hearaid and com.tcl.t_solo are disabled here
- (the C755 list keeps them); everything under "Streaming preloads" is the US set's own.
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.tcl.tv.tclhome_passive · com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
-
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.tcl.tv.plus · com.tcl.dashboard · com.tcl.t_solo · com.tcl.channelplus
-
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.tcl.logkit · com.google.android.feedback · com.android.tv.feedbackconsent
-
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.
