# Sony BRAVIA 4K AE2 (BRAVIA_AE2, MediaTek MT5897 "merak"), North American firmware # Google TV 14 (API 34), build BRAVIA_AE2_NA-user 14 UKN4.250422.001 603100 # # Apply: TV_HOST= tools/disable.sh examples/sony-bravia-ae2/debloat.txt # Undo: TV_HOST= tools/restore.sh examples/sony-bravia-ae2/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 (pass it as STOCK_LAUNCHER / to restore.sh). # No separate Live TV app on this set: HDMI inputs come from TvInputManager, so leave live_tv_package empty. # Keep the com.sony.dtv.tvinput.* HDMI services, com.sony.dtv.tvapi, com.sony.dtv.sonysystemservice # and the Sony settings apps: they drive HDMI, picture settings and the remote. # # Quirks on this firmware, all checked on the TV: # - Network ADB: pair once with Wireless debugging (`adb pair : `, then # `adb connect` to the port `adb mdns services` shows), then `adb tcpip 5555` for tools/tv.py. # Port 5555 closes again after a reboot. # - com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith claims HOME with priority 1 (RecoveryActivity); disable it # before launcherx or Home can land on it. # - The default screensaver is com.sony.dtv.livingfit; with it disabled the TV has none until you # pick another (the launcher's Clock: `settings put secure screensaver_components # com.gathin.tvhome/.ClockDream`). # - YouTube Music for TV (com.google.android.youtube.tvmusic) ends its media session when you leave it, # so music stops on Home; SoundCloud keeps playing. # # Most of this list was disabled by the owner before the launcher went on and has been lived with; # the Sony agents, help and Play extras marked (new) were added on 19 October 2026.
