Notes & quirks on this firmware
- Android 12 (Google TV, basic mode), firmware STT2.230203.001, software V8-R75PT01-LF1V499
- Likely a good starting point for other 2023+ TCL Google TV sets on the Realtek G10 platform.
- Everything is DISABLED, not uninstalled. Comment out any line you want to keep.
- Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx (pass it to restore.sh, the default is wrong here).
- Live TV app: com.tcl.tv (keep it, it also owns HDMI/antenna playback). Keep com.tcl.tvinput,
- com.tcl.dashboard, com.tcl.suspension, com.tcl.autopair and com.tcl.systemserver too.
- Already disabled at the factory: com.tcl.logkit, tv.samba.ssm.ui (Samba TV ACR), com.tcl.ttvs.
- Known quirks on this firmware:
- - The red "TV" tile disappears from the Google TV Home row after this list (probably
- com.tcl.partnercustomizer). TV stays in the Apps row and behind the Inputs tile.
- - Disabling dreamx leaves screensaver_components pointing at it. Switch to the AOSP fallback with
- tools/tv.py 'settings put secure screensaver_components com.android.dreams.basic/.Colors'
- - screencap writes an empty file while Live TV/HDMI is on screen. Press Home first.
- - The Google TV promo banner is drawn by launcherx itself, so only launcher/ removes it.
- Optional: uncomment what you don't use com.tcl.airplay2 # AirPlay, together with the next line com.realtek.airplay2 com.netflix.ninja # Netflix, together with the next line com.netflix.tokenmanager com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom # Prime Video com.google.android.youtube.tv
