For this TV there are 4 steps. Together they switch off 19 things you do not need, and leave 12 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: TCL telemetry, promos and preload plumbing

Stops the TV reporting back to the maker and to advertisers.

TCL analytics (BI service, deviceinfo, ParamProvider) com.tcl.bi
TCL dashboard/promo backend (G10 example keeps it) com.tcl.dashboard
sticker/emoji overlay com.tcl.esticker
partner/customization channel, promo rows com.tcl.partnercustomizer
end-user agreement screen, done with it after setup com.tcl.useragreement
TCL message/promo box com.tcl.messagebox
"recommended apps" showcase com.tcl.overseasappshow
falls back to com.google.android.webview anyway com.tcl.android.webview
partner-app auto installer config android.autoinstalls.config.tcl.device

The rest of the guide

Step 2: Google recommendation/attribution plumbing
Step 3: Extras — verified fine here, but the least noticeable
Step 4: Off by choice on this unit
What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes
