Notes & quirks on this firmware

Live TV app: com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter (already the live_tv_package in launcher config.xml).
Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (the default, disabled by build-and-install.sh).
Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
Notes from this firmware:
- Default IME is already Gboard, so the Mi TV 4A missing-keyboard quirk doesn't apply.
- Left alone on purpose: com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter / tvinput* (HDMI + tuner), mitv.service,
com.mi.bluetooth, com.mediatek.hotkey.dispatcher, com.google.android.tv.remote.service.
- Netflix and Prime Video come back at every reboot even when disabled. The cause is
com.mstar.netflixobserver: it is a PERSISTENT app with the system uid, so Android starts it at boot even
when it is disabled, and it re-enables both (it even re-installed them after pm uninstall --user 0).
Disabling it is not enough. This list only disables it, like everything else in this repo.
Beyond what this repo does, and your own call: removing it for user 0 worked here across a reboot
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mstar.netflixobserver
and is undone with
cmd package install-existing com.mstar.netflixobserver (the remote's Netflix button needs it)
- Device admin is not supported on this firmware (no android.software.device_admin).

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.google.android.tvrecommendations
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.xm.webcontent · com.mitv.tvhome.mitvplus
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
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.
