For this TV there are 4 steps. Together they switch off 12 things you do not need, and leave 20 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: Batch 1
Small extras that most people never use.
- TCL push messages and promos; carries an org.tcl.ttvs receiver
com.tcl.messagebox - log capture and upload
com.tcl.logkit - TCL promo rows on the Google TV home; [43S5K ONLY]
com.tcl.partnercustomizer - silently installs partner apps
android.autoinstalls.config.google.gtvpai - partner attribution (RLZ pings)
com.google.android.partnersetup
The rest of the guide
- Step 2: Batch 2
- Step 3: Batch 3
- Step 4: Batch 4
- What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes
