About this Xiaomi Mi TV 4A list

Header: Xiaomi Mi TV 4A (MiTV-MOOQ1, codename tarzan), Android TV 10, firmware QTG3.200305.006.2591

Also a good starting point for other Xiaomi/Redmi Android TVs with PatchWall. Known quirk on this firmware: default_input_method points at com.baidu.input, which is not installed, so no keyboard appears in search fields. Set Gboard as the IME (see README gotchas).

Before you run it: every package below is disabled, not uninstalled. Comment out (prefix with #) any line for an app you use. Never disable the Play Store, Play Services, the on-screen keyboard or the TV input services that play HDMI. Switch USB debugging off when you are done.

Apply the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 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/xiaomi-mi-tv-4a/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 "Xiaomi Mi TV 4A" as the model; it reads this list, checks each package on your TV and asks before anything that depends on your preferences.

Restore the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/xiaomi-mi-tv-4a/debloat.txt

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 Android TV debloat guide.

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A debloat FAQ

Is it safe to debloat the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A?

The Xiaomi Mi TV 4A list only uses pm disable-user, so nothing is uninstalled or flashed. Every package can be turned back on with the cleanyourtv restore script or from the TV's own Settings → Apps page. Apply it in small batches and check the TV between them.

How many packages does this Xiaomi Mi TV 4A list disable?

21 packages, grouped as: Xiaomi telemetry; PatchWall and Mi content rows / promos; Xiaomi background services; Preloaded apps nobody asked for and more. Comment out any line you want to keep before running it.

Does the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A list work on a similar model?

Often, if the platform matches. Compare the device codename and firmware in the list header with Settings → About on your TV. The cleanyourtv prompt also checks each package on your own set before touching it, so a near match is a good starting point.

Will the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A get the Apple TV-style launcher?

Yes. After debloating, cleanyourtv builds its small native launcher (about 300 KB) and makes it the default Home, rolling back automatically if Home does not land on it.

How do I undo the Xiaomi Mi TV 4A debloat?

Run TV_HOST=<tv ip> tools/restore.sh examples/xiaomi-mi-tv-4a/debloat.txt. It replays the record saved before the change. Full steps are in the restore guide.
