For this TV there are 5 steps. Together they switch off 16 things you do not need, and leave 8 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 attribution

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

  • Mi analytics com.miui.tv.analytics
  • Xiaomi usage stats uploader com.xiaomi.statistic
  • No description from the testers com.google.android.feedback
  • Google RLZ attribution pings com.google.android.partnersetup

The rest of the guide

  • Step 2: Ad rows, promos and auto-installs
  • Step 3: Xiaomi update service, off by choice
  • Step 4: Preloaded apps, off by choice
  • Step 5: ONLY AFTER com.gathin.tvhome IS INSTALLED
  • What is left alone, the Mac and Windows files, the undo files and the testers' notes
