For this TV there are 5 steps. Together they switch off 25 things you do not need, and leave 16 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: Telemetry and analytics
Stops the TV reporting back to the maker and to advertisers.
- TCL BI analytics (Firebase, net monitor)
com.tcl.bi - boot/network/package-change receivers; nothing broke without it
com.tcl.appstatecontroller - TCL account
com.tcl.usercenter - bug report uploader
com.google.android.tv.bugreportsender
The rest of the guide
- Step 2: Content, recommendation rows and promos
- Step 3: Background extras
- Step 4: Preloads
- Step 5: Off by choice on this unit
- What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes
$9.90 once unlocks every model. 7-day refund. Details
