Xiaomi TV EA Pro 55" (L55MA-EP) Debloat List

Notes & quirks on this firmware

• Android 10 (SDK 29, QQ2A.200305.004.A1), MediaTek/MStar, 3840x2160 panel (Android reports a 1080p UI mode).
• Stock launcher: com.mitv.tvhome (HOME activity .MainActivityUserMode). Live TV / sources: com.xiaomi.mitv.tvplayer.
• Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
• Used for a day with two reboots and several standby cycles; nothing broke that is not noted here.
• Notes from this firmware (details in docs/devices/xiaomi-mitv-mteq0-baymax.md):
• - Home: the framework only accepts system apps or allowlisted package names as HOME, like the
• MiTV-AETP0. The opt-in build -PlauncherApplicationId=com.ts.launcher (docs/devices/xiaomi-mitv-aetp0-dofus.md)
• was accepted here: HOME resolved to it, also after a reboot and after a force-stop like the one
• standby does. With the standard com.gathin.tvhome ID, disabling com.mitv.tvhome leaves
• FallbackHome (a black screen).
• - Network ADB closes at every boot: com.xiaomi.mitv.settings writes adb_enabled=0 a few seconds after
• boot. Re-enable it under Settings > Account & Security > ADB debugging.
• - Standby (power key) force-stops every non-system app after 2 s (MitvPowerManagerService ->
• killAllThirdApp) unless a cloud allowlist exempts it. Android then drops any accessibility service
• of those apps, so do not rely on an accessibility helper on this set.
• - com.xiaomi.mitv.upgrade and com.mediatek.TimeMeasurementAgent are persistent: the firmware starts them
• at boot even when disabled. Disabling still blocks their components; the processes stay.
• - Shell cannot disable single components, `pm hide` (no MANAGE_USERS) or `pm uninstall --user 0`
• (DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR) on this firmware, so whole-package disables are the only tool.
• - Wi-Fi 5 GHz: the Wi-Fi country code comes from Settings.Global service_region and falls back to CN,
• which hides 5 GHz networks on channels 100-144. `settings put global service_region <CC>` and a Wi-Fi
• off/on fixes it.
• - Xiaomi's package installer has no CONFIRM_INSTALL screen: stores that install split APKs through a
• PackageInstaller session (Aptoide) hang at 80%. Stores using ACTION_VIEW (single APKs) work.
• - No Google services: the official YouTube TV app refuses to run; SmartTube works.
• - Privacy toggles worth flipping as well: settings put secure allow_oaid_used 0 (OAID ad ID),
• settings put global individual_privacy_enabled 0 (personalised recommendations).
• so it does nothing once disabled; Google voice search cannot replace it without Google services.
• selecting another IME (LeanKey Keyboard worked: ime enable / ime set), or text input is gone.
• Keep: com.xiaomi.mitv.tvplayer (HDMI/AV), com.xiaomi.mitv.settings (the only full settings UI, picture, sound, ADB), com.xiaomi.mitv.systemui (volume, recents on double-tap Home), com.xiaomi.mitv.providers.settings, mitv.service, every com.mediatek.* package (com.mediatek.backgrounddetection runs the USB debugging boot receiver).
