# TCL 55P8LS QD-Mini LED, Vietnam (device G10, product G10_4K_GB_32BIT, model "Smart TV Pro", Realtek rtd6748, 1.8 GB) # Android 12 (Google TV), firmware STT2.230203.001 AS50, software V8-R75PT01-LF1V543 # Same G10 platform and build as tcl-g10-google-tv/ and tcl-55p7k/, with nothing disabled at the factory: # Samba TV ACR, logkit and ttvs all ship ENABLED. No regional streaming preloads (FPT Play was a user install). # # Apply: TV_HOST= tools/disable.sh examples/tcl-55p8ls/debloat.txt # Undo: TV_HOST= tools/restore.sh examples/tcl-55p8ls/debloat.txt com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx # Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep. # Applied 2026-10-21 in five batches with a screenshot between them, then rebooted: all 29 stayed # disabled. The launcher section went after the reference launcher was installed as Home; a second # reboot kept all 32 disabled, Home on the new launcher and its key services bound. # # Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx. Live TV / HDMI app: com.tcl.tv. # Keep: com.tcl.tv, com.tcl.tvinput, com.tcl.suspension (the Input picker), com.tcl.dashboard, # com.tcl.autopair, com.tcl.systemserver, com.tcl.providers.config, com.tcl.initsetup, com.tcl.factory.view, # com.tcl.useragreement, com.tcl.globalkeyoverlay, com.tcl.inputmethod.international (the keyboard), # com.tcl.hearaid (sound settings and accessibility), com.tcl.android.webview, all com.realtek.* and com.tvos. # Kept by choice on this TV: com.tcl.ui_mediaCenter (USB), com.tcl.airplay2 + com.realtek.airplay2, # com.google.android.apps.mediashell (Chromecast), com.google.android.tv.remote.service and # com.google.android.katniss (Assistant on the mic button), Netflix, YouTube. # # Known quirks on this firmware: # - The saved Wi-Fi network belonged to setupwraith (`dumpsys wifi | grep -o 'cname=[^ ]*'`). Forget the # network and join it again in Settings first; afterwards it belongs to android.uid.system and # setupwraith can be disabled without the TV dropping off Wi-Fi. # - The Vietnamese tab names on the stock Google TV home ("Màn hình chính", "Ứng dụng") and its TCL tab come # from com.tcl.partnercustomizer, not from the system locale (en-US here): with it disabled the stock home # shows "Home" and "Apps". # - Signing in to a Google account right after the list made Play Store install VTV Go, HBO Max and iQIYI # (installer com.android.vending). They are ordinary apps: uninstall them, and turn off auto-update in # Play Store settings. # - TclAppBoot leaves the launcher's key services unbound until `appops set com.gathin.tvhome # APP_AUTO_START allow` followed by `appops write-settings` (docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md). # - Disabling dreamx: set screensaver_components to com.gathin.tvhome/.ClockDream first. # - Remote buttons with launcherx disabled, checked on the real remote: same codes as the C69B in # tcl-g10-google-tv/.
