Notes & quirks on this firmware

Android 12 (Google TV, API 31), build BRAVIA_VH2_SA-user 12 STT2.230505.001.S136 682241
Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
Same device and build number as examples/sony-bravia-4k-vh2 (KD-55X80J, EU firmware), but the SA
firmware ships com.sony.dtv.promos and Apple TV enabled, and none of the EU broadcaster apps.
examples/sony-kd-65x80j is the same platform on older Android 10 firmware (India).
Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx (Google TV). Pass it to restore.sh as above.
Live TV / tuner app: com.sony.dtv.tvx (set it as live_tv_package in the launcher's config.xml and hide it).
Keep the com.sony.dtv.tvinput.* services, com.sony.dtv.tvapi, com.sony.dtv.sonysystemservice, the Sony
settings apps and all com.mediatek.*: they drive HDMI, the tuner, updates and the remote.
Kept by owner's choice: Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV, voice assistant, Chromecast
built-in (mediashell), AirPlay and firmware updates.
Already disabled at the factory: com.sony.dtv.homekit, com.sony.dtv.seeds.iot, com.sony.dtv.livingfit,
com.sonypicturescore, com.sony.dtv.b2b.vendorprotocol, com.sony.dtv.b2b.softap.
Not in this list, so restore.sh leaves them as they are.
Checked on the TV (wired Ethernet):
- The remote's Input button opens the input switcher everywhere (systemui handles it), so the launcher
was installed without the Input-button service (no INPUT_KEY_SERVICE).
- setupwraith disabled with no side effects on Ethernet (Wi-Fi saved during setup not tested).
- launcherx and dreamx disabled only after the new launcher was installed, with the launcher's clock as
screensaver: settings put secure screensaver_components com.gathin.tvhome/.ClockDream
- Everything stays disabled and Home stays on the new launcher after `svc power reboot`.
- Screenshots come out empty while Netflix is on screen; press Home first.
- Launcher config: live_tv_package com.sony.dtv.tvx, hidden apps com.sony.dtv.tvx and the Vewd browser
(com.vewd.core.integration.dia).
Applied and reboot-checked on 19 October 2026, not yet lived with for days. If something breaks,
re-enable it with `pm enable <package>` and please report it.
com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx # launcher/build-and-install.sh disables the stock launcher itself, after Home has moved
