# Sony BRAVIA XR-55A95L (A95L, 2023 QD-OLED, MediaTek MT5838), EU firmware # Android reports it as model "BRAVIA 4K AE1", device BRAVIA_AE_M6L; the retail model is in ro.boot.product.hardware.sku. # Android 12 (Google TV, API 31), build BRAVIA_AE1_EU-user 12 STT2.231117.001 634040 # # Apply: TV_HOST= tools/disable.sh examples/sony-bravia-ae1/debloat.txt # Undo: TV_HOST= tools/restore.sh examples/sony-bravia-ae1/debloat.txt com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx # Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep. # # Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx (Google TV). Install the launcher first # (launcher/build-and-install.sh): tools/disable.sh refuses to disable launcherx while it still owns Home. # Live TV / input player: com.sony.dtv.tvlin. It also plays the HDMI inputs, so keep it even if you never # watch broadcast TV; set it as live_tv_package and in hidden_apps (config.json here). The Inputs menu # lists HDMI 1-4 and Live TV, and picking an HDMI port opens tvlin on that input. # Keep com.sony.dtv.tvlin, com.sony.dtv.tvinput.dvbtuner, com.sony.dtv.sonysystemservice, imeproxy, # settingsprovider, the Sony settings apps, update/update.agent.* (firmware) and all com.mediatek.*: # they drive HDMI, the tuner, the remote and updates. # Kept by owner's choice: Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, UEI QuickSet (IR blaster), Sony IoT/smart-speaker # control (seeds.iot), Sony IP control (webapi), firmware updates. Left alone because their components # don't say enough: fingerprinterserver, crashlogcollector, lastaccess, interactivetvutil. # This set has no Chromecast (mediashell) and no Google Assistant (katniss) package. # Already disabled at the factory: the my5, sounds, iplayer, itv and all4 launchers, com.youview.poa, # de.hdplus.tvapp.androidtv. Not in this list, so restore.sh leaves them as they are. # # Quirks on this firmware, all checked on the TV: # - setupwraith claims HOME with priority 1; on this unit it did not own the saved Wi-Fi network # (`dumpsys wifi | grep -o 'cname=[^ ]*'` showed android.uid.system only). Check yours first. # - The remote's Input key opens Sony's own source panel (tvlin's GlobalKeyReceiver): no helper needed. # - With launcherx disabled the Settings, Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video buttons do nothing. They come # back with HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1 and scancodes (getevent, decimal): Settings 646 (settings_key_scancodes, # config.xml only), Netflix 583, YouTube 485, Prime Video 490 (app_keys, in config.json here). # - With that helper bound, a held Volume key moves one step instead of ramping, the same trade as # docs/devices/tcl-55p71b-g09-key-repeat.md (checked on the real remote, before and after). # # Applied 22 October 2026 on one unit and reboot-checked: everything below stayed disabled and Home came # back on the new launcher. Not yet lived with for days; if something breaks, re-enable it with # `pm enable ` and please report it. # ACR viewing tracker and telemetry tv.samba.ssm # Samba TV fingerprints what's on screen com.qterics.da.product # Qterics device agent com.sony.dtv.da.service # remote-support session service com.sonyericsson.idd.agent # Sony usage data com.sony.dtv.usercontext # viewing context for recommendations com.google.android.feedback com.sony.dtv.sonybugreportsys # bug-report uploader com.sony.dtv.b2b.vendorprotocol # broadcasts model/MAC/IP over SDDP # Sony ads and partner installs com.sony.dtv.promos com.sony.dtv.sonytab # Sony tab on the Google TV home; unused once launcherx is off android.autoinstalls.config.sony.bravia # Play auto-install of partner apps # demo / shop mode com.sony.dtv.demosupport com.sony.dtv.demosystemsupport com.sony.dtv.multiscreendemo # help com.sony.dtv.customersupport # Help tile com.sony.dtv.smarthelp # features not used (off by choice) com.sony.dtv.voicesearch # remote's mic button stops working com.sony.dtv.assistantadapter com.sony.dtv.airplayapp # AirPlay com.sonyericsson.dlna # DLNA media server/renderer com.sony.huey.dlna.module com.sony.dtv.smartmediaapp # Media Player, re-enable to play USB files com.sony.dtv.osat.music # re-enable to play music from USB com.vewd.core.browser # Vewd web browser # UK broadcaster apps and USB recording (off by choice) com.youview.dtv.bbc com.itv.youviewandroidlauncher com.channel4.youviewandroidlauncher com.channel5.my5sony com.sony.dtv.recapp # records Live TV to a USB drive # Google TV setup wizard and home: setupwraith first, or its RecoveryActivity takes Home. # Re-enable both before a factory reset.
