# Third VH21 unit, same firmware build as sony-bravia-4k-vh21 (Australia) and sony-bravia-4k-vh21-eu (EU),
# 250 packages. The US set ships Sony promos and Sony Select enabled (the EU set has them off at the
# factory). This list is the privacy and ads core only: no preloads, no always-running services off, so
# it is the smallest of the three and the one to start from if you want to keep everything that works.
# Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx (Google TV). Pass it to restore.sh as above;
# build-and-install disables it, so it is not in this list.
# Live TV / HDMI: com.sony.dtv.tvx (set it as live_tv_package in the launcher's config.xml and hide it).
# Keep the com.sony.dtv.tvinput.* services, com.sony.dtv.braviasync*, tvapi, sonysystemservice, imeproxy,
# settingsprovider, systemupdate/update, the Sony settings apps and all com.mediatek.*: they drive HDMI,
# the tuner, Bravia Sync, updates and the remote.
# Kept by owner's choice: the streaming and media apps, Google Assistant (katniss, voicesearch,
# assistantadapter), Chromecast built-in (mediashell), AirPlay and HomeKit (airplayapp, homekit), firmware
# updates, and the BRAVIA CAM packages (sensingcamera.*, gestureapp), which this model supports.
# Already disabled at the factory: com.sony.dtv.b2b.softap, com.sony.dtv.b2b.vendorprotocol. Not in this
# list, so restore.sh leaves them as they are.
#
# Applied 19 Oct 2026 in two batches with a screenshot between; launcher 2.3 installed with the
# Input-button service (INPUT_KEY_SERVICE=1). Reboot-checked twice:
# Home came back on the new launcher both times. Lived with for a week; nothing re-enabled.
# One incident, not the debloat: on 20 Oct the Widevine L1 HAL died mid-stream and would not re-initialize
# (GetProvisioningMethod failed, usage table status 340), so DRM-protected apps crashed on launch or would
# not play. Network, packages and Home were fine. A reboot (`tools/tv.py --reboot`) cleared it. If DRM apps
# stop at once on this firmware, reboot before you suspect the list.
