# TCL 55C7K-UK QD-Mini LED Google TV, 2025, UK (device G08, model "Smart TV Pro", MediaTek tcl9618) # Android 14 (Google TV), firmware UTT2.250416.001 AU02. About 2.4 GB RAM. # Same G08 board and firmware build as examples/tcl-c755-google-tv; that list was the starting point. # Second unit: TCL 50C7K, Poland, EU firmware (product G08_4K_GB, MediaTek mt5896, same UTT2.250416.001 AU02), # on its built-in Ethernet port. Its choices and notes are in README.md in this folder. # Third unit: TCL C6K, Brazil (product G08_4K_GB, same UTT2.250416.001 AU02), on Ethernet. It kept ttvs # and several apps this list disables; its choices and notes are in README.md in this folder. # # com.tcl.ttvs below is also the firmware updater on this build (its SystemUpdateActivity answers the manual # update action): with it disabled there are no system updates. The first two units disabled it for the Samba TV # ACR tracking it carries. Enable it to check for an update (pm enable com.tcl.ttvs), then disable it again. # # Apply: TV_HOST= tools/disable.sh examples/tcl-55c7k-uk/debloat.txt # Undo: TV_HOST= tools/restore.sh examples/tcl-55c7k-uk/debloat.txt com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx # Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled.
