Xiaomi MiTV-MSSP3 (Android TV 11) debloat list

About this Xiaomi MiTV-MSSP3 (Android TV 11) list

Header: Xiaomi MiTV-MSSP3 (codename machuca), Android TV 11 (SDK 30), firmware RTT2.211214.001.1065, MediaTek.

Live TV app: com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter (already the live_tv_package in launcher config.xml). Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (the default, disabled by build-and-install.sh). Notes from this firmware: - Default IME is already Gboard, so the Mi TV 4A missing-keyboard quirk doesn't apply. - Left alone on purpose: com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter / tvinput* (HDMI + tuner), mitv.service, com.mi.bluetooth, com.mediatek.hotkey.dispatcher, com.google.android.tv.remote.service. - Netflix and Prime Video come back at every reboot even when disabled. The cause is com.mstar.netflixobserver: it is a PERSISTENT app with the system uid, so Android starts it at boot even when it is disabled, and it re-enables both (it even re-installed them after pm uninstall --user 0). Disabling it is not enough. This list only disables it, like everything else in this repo. Beyond what this repo does, and your own call: removing it for user 0 worked here across a reboot pm uninstall --user 0 com.mstar.netflixobserver and is undone with cmd package install-existing com.mstar.netflixobserver (the remote's Netflix button needs it) - Device admin is not supported on this firmware (no android.software.device_admin).

Apply the Xiaomi MiTV-MSSP3 (Android TV 11) 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-mitv-mssp3/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 MiTV-MSSP3 (Android TV 11)" 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 MiTV-MSSP3 (Android TV 11)

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/xiaomi-mitv-mssp3/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.
