# Hisense 55QD6QF Fire TV (Fire TV Edition, AFTOLCBC82, codename ginza, MediaTek), Fire OS 8.1.8.0 (RS8180.3746N), # Android 11 (SDK 30), 1.8 GB of RAM, Canada. Starts from hisense-fire-tv-aftcibfbd1/ and amazon-fire-tv-stick-4k-2023/; # each package was checked on this set before listing. # # FIRE OS: DEBLOAT ONLY. com.amazon.tv.launcher (Home: .ui.HomeActivity_vNext, priority 950) and # com.amazon.firehomestarter are protected (pm disable-user and am force-stop are refused); launcher/ does not apply. # Live TV app: com.amazon.tv.livetv. # # Apply: TV_HOST= tools/disable.sh examples/hisense-fire-tv-55qd6qf/debloat.txt # Undo: TV_HOST= tools/restore.sh examples/hisense-fire-tv-55qd6qf/debloat.txt com.amazon.tv.launcher # Everything is DISABLED for user 0, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep. # # Applied 2026-10-24 in four batches with a screenshot of Home after each (the Alexa group on 2026-10-25), then # rebooted three times: Home, Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Apple TV, Spotify, Settings, the Appstore, AirPlay # mirroring from an iPhone and HDMI-CEC (a PS5 switching the TV to its input when it wakes) all work. Lived with for # about a day so far. Free memory after a reboot (MemAvailable): 463 MB before, about 740 MB after. # # Fire OS 8 notes on this set: # - com.amazon.vizzini (Alexa voice) comes back ENABLED AT EVERY BOOT, as on hisense-fire-tv-aftcibfbd1/; the rest of # the Alexa group stays off. Re-run the list after a reboot if you don't use Alexa. # - Third-party apps preinstalled by the retailer or Hisense (Bell Fibe TV / Crave, VIDAA, a YouTube player, Twitch) # came back ENABLED after a reboot when disabled. They are ordinary user apps, so they are not in this list; # remove them in Settings > Applications if you don't want them. # - The saved Wi-Fi network belongs to com.amazon.tv.oobe (`dumpsys wifi | grep -o 'cname=[^ ]*'`): never disable it. # - No package in this list was refused; the protected ones are the same as on hisense-fire-tv-aftcibfbd1/. # - AdGuard Private DNS works (mads.amazon-adsystem.com resolves to 127.0.0.1) and removes the third-party ads from the # hero banner; Amazon's own promotions stay (they come from the protected launcher's feed). # - Animation scales at 0.5 make the ☰ side menu open nothing, as on amazon-fire-tv-stick-4k-2023/. # - ADB Debugging switched itself off after one of the three reboots: check Developer Options before running a script. # # For launcher authors (what Fire OS 8 reserves to Amazon here, read from the APKs' manifests): # - Switching to an HDMI input: com.amazon.tv.inputpreference.service's PassthroughPlayerActivity needs # com.amazon.tv.permission.TUNE_INPUT, InputTabActivity and StartAmazonInputActivity LAUNCH_INPUTS, # GameBoardInputSwitchActivity SET_UPDATE_INPUT_STATE; the standard passthrough request opens Live TV. The remote's # Input button and HDMI-CEC still work. # - The Home key never reaches an accessibility service's key filter, and the CLOSE_SYSTEM_DIALOGS "homekey" broadcast # requires com.amazon.permission.ENABLE_KEYGUARD_FLAGS (signature|privileged|amazon). # - ACTION_SETTINGS goes through Amazon's Home; the settings grid itself, com.amazon.tv.launcher/.ui.MainSettingsActivity # (action amazon.intent.action.MAINSETTINGS), is exported without a permission. # - The Appstore (com.amazon.venezia/.grid.AppsGridLauncherActivity) has no screen of its own: it opens Amazon's Home on # its Apps page. # - An accessibility service that opens another home screen over HomeActivity_vNext works as a replacement Home. # # Kept on purpose: Live TV and the TV inputs, settings, the Appstore, Silk, OTA updates, the keyboard, remote and # Bluetooth services, casting (DIAL, Matter casting), AirPlay (personal choice: mirroring from an iPhone or a Mac), # com.amazon.tv.oobe, com.amazon.imp, the screensaver. # Telemetry and metrics com.amazon.ceviche # data collection pipelines com.amazon.client.metrics.api # metrics client API com.amazon.device.telemetry.emitter # telemetry emitter com.amazon.dp.logger # device log upload com.amazon.perfc # performance telemetry com.amazon.perfcollection # performance telemetry com.amazon.wirelessmetrics.service # Wi-Fi metrics upload com.amazon.livedeviceservice # live device reporting com.amazon.privacypassservice # privacy pass token service com.amazon.tv.developer.dataservice # personalization data for third-party apps com.amazon.wifilocker # uploads Wi-Fi passwords to Amazon com.amazon.tv.acr # Automatic Content Recognition (what's on screen, HDMI included) com.amazon.hybridadidservice # advertising ID # Ads, sponsored rows, promos, shopping com.amazon.kso.blackbird # launcher ad sync / bidding com.amazon.media.recommendations # sponsored and recommendation rows com.amazon.sneakpeek # autoplaying previews on Home com.amazon.providers.contentsupport # content support provider com.amazon.shoptv.client # Shop on Fire TV com.amazon.tv.democontent.provider # retail demo content com.amazon.tv.easyupgrade # "upgrade your Fire TV" promos com.amazon.systemnotices # system notices popups com.amazon.uxnotification # UX notification popups com.amazon.tv.releasenotes # "what's new" com.amazon.hedwig # Fire TV Channels (free channels with ads) # Tutorials com.amazon.storm.lightning.tutorial # remote app tutorial com.amazon.tmm.tutorial # remote tutorial # Preloaded apps (personal choice) com.amazon.bueller.music # Amazon Music com.amazon.bueller.photos # Amazon Photos com.amazon.tahoe # Amazon Kids com.amazon.gamehub # games hub com.amazon.spiderpork # Amazon Luna com.amazon.minitv.android.app # miniTV com.amazon.naatyam # Naatyam com.tubitv.ott # Tubi com.amazon.tv.localgallery # Gallery com.amazon.smarthomemapviewapp # smart home dashboard (cameras, lights) com.amazon.ods.kindleconnect # "show on Fire TV" from Echo / Fire tablet # Casting (personal choice; AirPlay is kept) com.amazon.cast.sink # Miracast screen mirroring # Alexa (personal choice, about 115 MB of RAM; vizzini comes back at every boot, see the header) com.amazon.vizzini # Alexa voice on Fire TV com.amazon.alexamediaplayer.runtime.ftv # Alexa media player com.amazon.alexa.externalmediaplayer.fireos # Alexa music playback com.amazon.aca # Alexa hints/cues providers (AlexaCentralForApps) com.amazon.aiondec # Alexa skill connections com.amazon.audiohome # Alexa Home Theater com.amazon.tv.alexaalerts # alarms, timers, reminders com.amazon.tv.alexanotifications # Alexa notifications com.amazon.rtcsessioncontroller # Alexa calling / Drop In com.amazon.spotify.mediabrowserservice # Spotify for Alexa (the Spotify app is separate) com.amazon.tv.mattercohost # Matter smart-home controller (com.amazon.tv.matter, Matter casting, stays) com.amazon.tv.ffsprovisioneeclient # frustration-free setup client com.amazon.whisperjoin.middleware.np # frustration-free setup of other Amazon devices com.amazon.whisperjoin.middleware.v2.np # frustration-free setup of other Amazon devices
