Xiaomi TV L55M7-EA Debloat List

Notes & quirks on this firmware

• firmware 22.12.2.1630, Amlogic/droidlogic, 1.5 GB RAM, 1080p panel. Used in Vietnam.
• Stock launcher: com.mitv.tvhome (HOME activity .MainActivityUserMode). Keep it enabled (see "Home"
• below): install with STOCK_LAUNCHER=none launcher/build-and-install.sh. Home stays com.mitv.tvhome,
• so the script stops at its Home check after installing the launcher; then turn HomeKeyService on
• with the settings command build-and-install.sh runs for HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1.
• Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
• Input-only config and a second unit on firmware 24.7.4.3982: see README.md in this folder.
• That record does not revalidate this firmware's debloat list or Home setup.
• Notes from this firmware:
• - Same family as xiaomi-mitv-astp1; this list starts from that one, minus what this build lacks
• (com.gitvdemo.video, com.duokan.videodaily, com.xiaomi.tv.gallery, com.newtv.cboxtv).
• - No CN streaming apps preinstalled; no Google apps besides the YouTube and katniss the owner sideloaded.
• - Network ADB (port 5555) closes on every reboot; re-enable it in
• Settings -> Account & Security -> ADB debugging after each power cycle. Wi-Fi also sleeps in
• standby, so the TV drops off the network until it is woken.
• - mitv.service is the core MiTV service: do not touch it. The owner chose to drop payment, Mi Home,
• Mi Video, the voice assistant and every casting receiver but AirPlay (in com.xiaomi.mitv.smartshare).
• The app store and com.mitv.videoplayer (USB files) stay. 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
• - com.xiaomi.mitv.remotecontroller.service looped at 100-190% CPU and flooded logd (~490 MB in
• 30 min): its relay host is gone, so it is disabled below. ES File Explorer ran DLNA and a WebView
• in the background; it is replaced by Material Files (F-Droid, me.zhanghai.android.files).
• - Home stays com.mitv.tvhome: set-home-activity succeeds but resolution ignores it, and with
• com.mitv.tvhome disabled Home falls to com.android.tv.settings/.system.FallbackHome. Keep it
• enabled; an accessibility service that answers the Home key (HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1) brings the new
• launcher up instead.
• - The firmware has no night mode setting: cmd uimode night yes|no|auto. Auto needs a location for
• sunset and the TV has none, so it stays in day mode.
• - The remote has no Input button; its Menu key (three lines) is KEYCODE_MENU, scancode 127. Inputs
• switch only through Xiaomi's player: am start -a com.xiaomi.mitv.tvplayer.EXTSRC_PLAY
• -n com.xiaomi.mitv.tvplayer/.ExternalSourceActivity --ei input N (HDMI1-3 = 23-25, AV = 2).
• Starting the HDMI channel URI with a plain VIEW lets any app that claims every VIEW catch it.
• - The time zone ships as Asia/Shanghai, an hour ahead in Vietnam. Set the one the IP locates
• (get.geojs.io/v1/ip/geo.json "timezone"): service call alarm 3 s16 Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh
• - Picture: Settings -> Image settings -> Display model is kept per source; "Picture" is the vivid
• one (contrast 55, saturation 60, cold), "Standard" is flat.
• 2026-firmware unit: Redmi A75 2025 energy edition (L75MA-RAE), 26.3.17.OS3.0.101.0.PSTAATV, 32-bit only
• (abilist armeabi-v7a, so arm64-only apps such as Tubi cannot install). Applied 23 Oct 2026 and lived with
• for days: streaming, casting and the voice remote fine. Its list is a subset of this one plus
• com.xiaomi.tvqs (commented below). Startup ad: `settings put system boot_ad_switch 0`, undo with
• `settings delete system boot_ad_switch`. Keep PatchWall enabled; the com.ts.launcher build does not take
• Home on this firmware; do not run build-and-install.sh with defaults; see docs/devices/redmi-l75ma-rae.md.
• which no longer resolves, about 19 times a second with no backoff: ~190% CPU in GC after every boot.
• The Bluetooth remote runs in com.android.bluetooth (BleRemoteService) and is not affected.
• minSdk 26; 17.x needs Android 10) is the only IME: ime enable/set .../com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME.
• It logs missing Play Services but types fine. Re-enable Sogou before removing it, or the TV has no keyboard.
