Xiaomi Mi TV 5 Pro 65" (China) Debloat List

Notes & quirks on this firmware

• firmware 23.6.5.3226, Amlogic, 4 GB RAM, 1080p UI (320 dpi), 54 GB /data.
• Stock launcher: com.mitv.tvhome (PatchWall, HOME activity .MainActivityUserMode) - KEEP IT ENABLED,
• see "Home" below. Install with: STOCK_LAUNCHER=none launcher/build-and-install.sh
• (build-and-install.sh knows com.mitv.tvhome and disables it otherwise; Home then falls to
• FallbackHome and the script rolls back).
• More notes (settings intents, inputs, ADB, install blacklist): docs/devices/xiaomi-mitv-ansp0-jobs.txt
• Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
• Notes from this firmware:
• - Home: disabling com.mitv.tvhome drops HOME to com.android.tv.settings/.system.FallbackHome
• (priority -1000 in the manifest, but it still wins once nothing else is left), which shows a
• black screen. Keeping PatchWall enabled and setting the new launcher as the preferred home
• works, and survives a reboot; PatchWall is then never shown. Verified with
• `cmd package set-home-activity --user 0 com.gathin.tvhome/.MainActivity`.
• - Standard settings intents DO resolve here: android.settings.SETTINGS ->
• com.android.tv.settings/.MainSettings, android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS ->
• com.android.tv.settings/.connectivity.NetworkActivity. The launcher's pills need no fallback keys.
• - Inputs: com.droidlogic.tvinput registers the ports (Hdmi1InputService/HW5,
• Hdmi2/HW6, Hdmi3/HW7, AV1InputService/HW1), but nothing answers ACTION_VIEW on the standard
• TvContract passthrough URI, so the launcher lists the ports without being able to switch them.
• The TV app switches with EXTSRC_PLAY and an integer extra instead; see
• docs/devices/xiaomi-mitv-ansp0-jobs.txt.
• - Network ADB (port 5555) closes on every reboot; re-enable it in
• Settings -> 账号与安全 (Account & Security) -> ADB 调试 after each power cycle.
• - `pm disable-user` is accepted for the shell user on this build (unlike MiTV-ANTL0, which needs
• `pm hide`).
• - mitv.service is the core MiTV service: do not touch it. It registers TvService, which Xiaomi's own
• Settings reads the hardware configuration through; with it disabled, Settings freezes for 20-30 s and
• then crashes the Sound page (#1310). Why:
• docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#xiaomi-cn-firmware-settings-freezes-or-crashes-after-the-debloat
• - Voice: disabling voicecontrol, wakeupservice, the Mico MQTT service and the two Mi Home
• packages also stops an external Xiao Ai speaker from controlling the TV (its "turn the TV
• off" command). Verified both ways on this set; see the Voice group below.
• - com.xiaomi.mitv.settings is the vendor settings UI; the standard com.android.tv.settings app is
• also present and answers the plain settings actions.
• - No Google apps at all. Content comes from CN streaming apps; casting (smartshare / miplay /
• wfdsinkhelperservice / duokan.airkan.tvbox / upnp) and the app store are deliberately kept.
• - com.mitv.care is disabled by the factory already.
• Owner's-choice removals NOT listed below (disabled here, re-enable in Settings > Apps if needed):
• com.douyu.xl.douyutv (Douyu), net.cibntv.ott.sk (CIBN 4K), com.lutongnet.nldmxXiaomiChildren
• (children's training app) and one sideloaded tool.
• TV: disabling all five cut a household's voice "turn the TV off" in testing, and enabling them again
• restored it. The TV-side voice remote may only need voicecontrol/wakeupservice; the speaker path goes
• through the Mico MQTT service and the Mi Home packages. Not narrowed down to one package.
• leaves the TV unable to complete a membership purchase or renewal, and a viewer who pays for
• the kids membership (儿童成长VIP) loses the only way to renew on the set.
• its screensaver is selected, otherwise the TV has no screensaver:
• settings put secure screensaver_components com.gathin.tvhome/.ClockDream
• settings put secure screensaver_enabled 1
• Stock launcher: KEEP ENABLED (see "Home" above). It is the only app left that can answer HOME if the preferred-home setting is ever cleared, and disabling it lands on FallbackHome's black screen.
