# TCL 65" C7L Google TV, 2025, Australia (device G08, model "Smart TV Pro", MediaTek tcl9618 / mt5896) # Android 14 (Google TV), firmware UTT2.250416.001 AU02, product G08_4K_GB. About 2.4 GB RAM. # Same board and firmware build as examples/tcl-c755-google-tv; that list was the starting point, and its # Keep list holds here unchanged. # # Apply: TV_HOST= tools/disable.sh examples/tcl-65c7l-google-tv/debloat.txt # Undo: TV_HOST= tools/restore.sh examples/tcl-65c7l-google-tv/debloat.txt com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx # Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep. # # ADB: Developer options > Wireless debugging was enough; port 5555 answered too, without pairing. # Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx. Live TV / HDMI app: com.tcl.tv. # Left alone: com.tpa.kb (system uid, no running services, purpose unclear) and com.tvos (framework res). # Kept on purpose by this owner: Chromecast, AirPlay, Miracast, Google Assistant (katniss and # com.google.android.tv.remote.service, which carries the mic button), the game bar, the USB media # player and gallery, Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and YouTube Music. # # Tested 2026-10-22 on a real unit, applied in six batches with screenshots between them: Home, the Input # button's source panel (com.tcl.suspension), Live TV (com.tcl.tv/com.tcl.player.TVActivity), all four # HDMI inputs in tv_input, YouTube with AdGuard Private DNS, Play Store app updates and every remote button # (gear, app buttons, Input, mic) kept working with launcherx disabled, so no key helper was enabled. All # 27 packages stayed disabled after a reboot; nothing is re-enabled at boot on this firmware. # # Known quirks on this firmware: # - The saved Wi-Fi network belonged to setupwraith (dumpsys wifi: cname=...setupwraith). Forget it and # join it again in Settings before setupwraith is disabled, or the TV drops off Wi-Fi. # TCL tracking and analytics com.tcl.ttvs # Samba TV ACR viewing tracking, TCL "BI" analytics, Alexa core, T-Cast com.tcl.logkit # log capture and upload com.tcl.usercenter # TCL account sign-in nags # TCL content, ads and promos com.tcl.channelplus # TCL Live FAST channels com.tcl.tv.tclhome_passive # pushes TCL content to the home screen at boot com.tcl.partnercustomizer # TCL tweaks to Google TV home rows com.tcl.interactive # TCL TIAS background service com.tcl.messagebox # TCL push messages and promos com.tcl.waterfall.overseas # TCL movie/show recommendation browser # Retail demo / hotel mode com.tcl.exhibit com.tcl.esticker com.tcl.hotelmenu # Preloaded apps and services com.tcl.ocean.instructions # e-manual com.tcl.repairguide com.tcl.smartalexa # Alexa com.tcl.guard # TCL "cleaner" / app manager android.autoinstalls.config.google.gtvpai # silently installs partner apps com.google.android.partnersetup # partner attribution com.google.android.feedback com.android.tv.feedbackconsent com.google.android.play.games # Off by choice on this unit com.tcl.magiconnectfree # TCL T-Cast phone app (needs com.tcl.ttvs anyway) au.com.stan.and # Stan com.tcl.UpdatePeripheral # TCL soundbar/speaker firmware updates (no TCL audio gear here) # Needed for the custom launcher.
