Frequently asked questions

How do I remove ads from a TCL TV?

Switch off the TCL promo, recommendation and tracking packages over adb for your exact model, and keep the packages that run the tuner, HDMI and remote. Our packs list both for each model.

Is it safe to disable TCL system apps?

It is safe when you disable only what the list names and test after each group. Disabling is reversible; uninstalling is not, so we never recommend it.

Will a TCL firmware update undo the changes?

Sometimes. A firmware update can switch disabled packages back on. Rerun the same commands after an update; the pack is a list you can reuse.

Does this work on every TCL TV?

Only on TCL sets running Android TV or Google TV. We list 65 models; if yours is missing, the closest model on the same platform is often similar, but check the keep list carefully.
