For this TV there are 4 steps. Together they switch off 16 things you do not need, and leave 3 services alone that the TV needs to work. Nothing is deleted, and every step can be undone. The list comes from owners who tested it on their own TVs; we have not re-tested it on yours.

What the first step does

Step 1: Skyworth auto-installs, shop demo and setup leftovers

Switches off pre-installed apps and shop-demo leftovers.

Play Auto Installs config for preloaded apps android.autoinstalls.config.skyworth
Skyworth retail demo service, starts at boot fusion.android.tv.demo
"Demo Now" store demo app com.smartdevice.common.demonow
disclaimer screen used only by the first-run setup com.mstar.android.tv.disclaimercustomization
on-screen manual (E-Manual) com.Smartdevice.emanual

The rest of the guide

Step 2: Telemetry and background services
Step 3: Recommendation rows and stock-launcher partner config
Step 4: Not used
What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes
