TCL 75 C755 QD-Mini LED Google TV debloat list

About this TCL 75 C755 QD-Mini LED Google TV list

Header: TCL 75" C755 QD-Mini LED Google TV, 2024, Australia (device G08, model "Smart TV Pro", MediaTek tcl9618 / mt5896)

Android 14 (Google TV), firmware UTT2.250416.001 AU02, product G08_4K_GB. About 2.4 GB RAM. Same G08 board as examples/tcl-qm6k-google-tv; that list was the starting point. Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx. Live TV / HDMI app: com.tcl.tv. Keep: com.tcl.tv, com.tcl.tvinput, com.tcl.dashboard, com.tcl.suspension, com.tcl.autopair, com.tcl.systemserver, com.tcl.providers.config, com.tcl.initsetup, com.tcl.useragreement, com.tcl.globalkeyoverlay, com.tcl.systemui.plugin, com.tcl.factory.view, com.tcl.inputmethod.international (the keyboard), com.tcl.eva, com.tcl.hearaid (sound/accessibility + TCL wireless speakers), com.tcl.t_solo, tv.mopa.ginga (broadcast middleware) and all com.mediatek.* except AirPlay. Firmware updates arrive through Google Play Services (no separate TCL updater on this set). Also keep com.google.android.tv.remote.service: despite the name ("phone-app remote") it holds AtvSearchAssistantService, which carries the Bluetooth remote's mic button. Disabled, the mic did nothing. Keep com.tcl.suspension too: it IS the source panel the remote's Input button opens. Applied and verified on a real unit on 2026-10-20: Wi-Fi, HDMI switching (Inputs menu), Assistant, Disney+/Netflix playback with AdGuard Private DNS, and the launcher's clock screensaver all worked. Known quirks on this firmware: - The remote (BT_RC833_A1) sends KEYCODE_TV_INPUT for Input, and TCL's input policy hands it to com.tcl.suspension before accessibility services see it, so INPUT_KEY_SERVICE=1 can't redirect it. The Input button keeps opening TCL's source panel; the launcher's Inputs pill opens the glass menu. - With com.tcl.interactive disabled, com.tcl.tv logs "tias_sdk getService failure" ~10x/s for a few seconds when the TV player starts, then stops. CPU on HDMI measured the same (~23%) with it on or off. - Disabling dreamx: set screensaver_components to com.gathin.tvhome/.ClockDream first.

Apply the TCL 75 C755 QD-Mini LED Google TV debloat

Turn on Developer options on the TV (Settings → Device Preferences → About → press OK on Build seven times), switch on USB debugging and, if shown, Network or ADB debugging. Then, from a clone of the cleanyourtv repository on a computer on the same Wi-Fi:

export TV_HOST=192.168.1.50   # your TV's IP address
tools/venv/bin/python -I tools/tv.py --probe
tools/disable.sh examples/tcl-c755-google-tv/debloat.txt

Then build and install the clean launcher, which makes itself the default Home and rolls back if it fails:

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 launcher/build-and-install.sh

Prefer to let an assistant do it? Paste the cleanyourtv prompt into Claude Code with "TCL 75 C755 QD-Mini LED Google TV" as the model; it reads this list, checks each package on your TV and asks before anything that depends on your preferences.

Restore the TCL 75 C755 QD-Mini LED Google TV

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/tcl-c755-google-tv/debloat.txt com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx

The restore script replays the state recorded before the change, so Home goes back to the launcher that owned it. More in the restore guide and the Google TV debloat guide.
