Notes & quirks on this firmware
- firmware PTMR.190127.037 (build 01.00.00.04), security patch 2020-05-05. Sold in India.
- Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
- ADB: Developer options has USB debugging only, no Wireless or Network debugging toggle. Turning
- USB debugging on opens network ADB on port 5555 directly.
- Applied in the four groups below with ~15 s wait and a reboot after each (as the Hisense FFM list
- advises): normal boot every time, HDMI 1-3, AV and the tuner still listed by the TV input framework.
- Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (the default in restore.sh). It is not in this list:
- launcher/build-and-install.sh disables it after the new launcher is running. The stock home shows a
- full-width "Sponsored" banner and a sponsored row, which only goes away with the launcher swap.
- Keep: com.mediatek.* (Live TV, HDMI, hotkeys, factory), com.hisense.tv.hitvinput (the HDMI/AV/tuner
- inputs), com.hisense.kpad (remote's menu key), com.mstar.netflixobserver (remote's Netflix key),
- com.hisense.tv.customerlauncher, com.hisense.uifac, com.hisense.audio_update_service, and
- com.hisense.tv.smartsense (left alone because of the Recovery warning in hisense-smarttv-4k-ffm).
- Kept by choice: Chromecast (mediashell), Assistant (katniss, pumpkin), Miracast receiver
- ("Screen Sharing", com.mediatek.androidbox), YouTube.
- Already disabled at the factory: com.google.android.backdrop, com.google.android.apps.inputmethod.zhuyin.
