Notes & quirks on this firmware

  • firmware UKG3.250107.001 / V816.0.26.6.10.UZFAATK.
  • Fingerprint: Xiaomi/soul/soul:14/UKG3.250107.001/V816.0.26.6.10.UZFAATK:user/release-keys
  • Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
  • A streaming stick: no HDMI-in or tuner, so leave live_tv_package empty in config.xml.
  • Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (disabled by launcher/build-and-install.sh).
  • Notes from this stick:
  • - HOME claimants on stock: com.google.android.tvlauncher/.MainActivity and
  • com.android.tv.settings/.system.FallbackHome. Unlike Google TV builds (such as MiTV-AFMU0/AFMU1),
  • com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith does NOT claim HOME here, so setupwraith can stay enabled
  • and the saved Wi-Fi network (owned by setupwraith) does not need to be forgotten and re-joined.
  • - The Bluetooth remote ("Xiaomi RC Consumer Control", vendor 0x2717 product 0x32b9,
  • /vendor/usr/keylayout/Vendor_2717_Product_32b9.kl) sends standard KEY_HOMEPAGE (scancode 0x000c0223 -> HOME)
  • on the round Home button, not ALL_APPS, so HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1 is not needed.
  • - HDMI-CEC One Touch Play works with the custom launcher: system_server (HdmiControlService) sends
  • <Text View On> and <Active Source> before starting the HOME activity.
  • - Kept on purpose: Google Assistant (katniss), Chromecast (mediashell), phone remote (tv.remote.service),
  • Miracast (smartshare, wfdsinkhelperservice), the Mi screensaver (com.mitv.dream),
  • com.xiaomi.tvqs.overseas (quick settings panel), com.xiaomi.android.tvsetup.partnercustomizer,
  • com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith.
  • - com.google.android.tvrecommendations does not stay disabled: com.droidlogic re-enables it on every boot
  • (lastDisabledCaller: com.droidlogic), so it is commented out below. The custom launcher never asks it for rows.
  • Stock Android TV launcher, replaced by launcher/ (build-and-install.sh disables it after Home moves)

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.

  • 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.mitv.tvhome.mitvplus · com.xm.webcontent

  • 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.miui.tv.analytics · com.xiaomi.statistic · com.google.android.feedback · com.android.tv.feedbackconsent · com.google.android.partnersetup

  • 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.
