Notes & quirks on this firmware

2 GB RAM. Fingerprint: Xiaomi/jaws/jaws:11/RTT0.211222.001/772:user/release-keys
Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx. HOME claimants on stock: launcherx (priority 2),
com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith/.RecoveryActivity (priority 1), Settings FallbackHome.
A streaming box: no HDMI-in or tuner, leave live_tv_package empty in config.xml; the Inputs pill hides itself.
Tested: every package below was disabled in batches with screenshots in between, the launcher from
launcher/ was installed and owns Home, and Home and Wi-Fi both came back by themselves after a reboot.
That is a first-day report, not the few days CONTRIBUTING.md asks for, so treat the list as provisional.
Notes from this box:
- The stock adb on macOS connected fine on port 5555 once USB debugging was on; no wireless-debugging
pairing and no tools/tv.py needed.
- Disabling launcherx alone makes Home resolve to setupwraith's RecoveryActivity; `cmd package
set-home-activity` reports Success but does not take effect until setupwraith is disabled too.
- Right after disabling setupwraith, Wi-Fi dropped for about 20 seconds and the box asked for the Wi-Fi
password again. Once it was re-entered, it stayed saved across a reboot.
- After living with it: Wi-Fi, USB playback (with debugging off), Google Home, the phone remote,
Chromecast from a Pixel and Google Assistant all still work.
- The remote's shortcut buttons (Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Xiaomi TV+, Apps) all do nothing once
launcherx is disabled. Prime Video and Xiaomi TV+ are disabled anyway; Netflix, YouTube and Apps were
handled by launcherx, as on the Chromecast with Google TV (see that list for a Key Mapper remap).
Kept on purpose: Google Assistant (katniss), Chromecast (mediashell), phone remote (tv.remote.service),
YouTube Music, Xiaomi USB media apps (mimusic2, mitv.gallery, mediaexplorer, mitv.videoplayer),
Miracast (smartshare, wfdsinkhelperservice), com.xiaomi.tvqs.overseas (quick settings panel),
com.xiaomi.android.tvsetup.partnercustomizer (remote shortcut buttons), mitv.service, com.mi.bluetooth,
com.droidlogic* (Amlogic system), com.xiaomi.gtv.settings.
