Hey, thanks for your efforts! can you please provide some instructions on how to run the sh file on the TV? i tried everything on my TCL 65C639 but it just doesn't respond..
Did you succeed? I haven't tried to use this script, since my TV model is different.
I was able to disable some apps after I did this:
- installed
android-tools-adbandandroid-tools-fastbooton a Linux PC; - connected both PC and TV to the same network;
- enabled USB debug in the TV;
- ran the command
adb connect TV_IP:5555whereTV_IPis the TV IP address; - ran
adb shell - ran
pm list packagesto see which packages are installed on my TV - ran
pm uninstall -k --user 0 PACKAGE_NAMEwherePACKAGE_NAMEis something likecom.google.android.play.gamesor any package from the package list
@gvtenberg
no! I wasn't able to run the script, but i basically did most of the steps that you did except I did It through a software called adb appcontrol with a UI and not cmd :D
but be careful which apps you decide to disable/uninstall or you might break the tv like i did:
- com.android.location.fused will straight up send you to the recovery and force you to reset the tv
- com.tcl.tv will mess up your remote functions
these are just some examples
com tcl.tv is for tuner DVB-T2, DVB-S2...Without this you can't watch channels! Guard app is required to enable or disable auto start apps, relevance start permission must be enabled for all apps. Ofc manager in both must be turn off(With on, tv manages these settings)

Would you please be able to post a list of all apps that might 'break' tv.
Looking to uninstall as many TCL apps as possible from my TV but unsure of what most of them actually do or if they are needed.
I've seen com,.tcl.tv mentioned several times on different sites but not much info on anything else really
Thanks!!

I was able to disable all apps with tcl in their package name besides tcl.tv, and the only thing disabling that did was kill my remote's power button. it seems that's the only one needed. would be nice to reimplement whatever it's doing without the rest of the tcl junk in their tv app

Thanks for that reply. Think I'll go ahead and disable the rest of the tcl apps I haven't yet disabled.

I was concerned that removing one of the tcl apps was causing instability on my tv remote, but i got a brain flash and realized bad batteries can cause repeated or delayed inputs! tested my remote batteries and they were about to die, new batteries and everything is running amazing. fyi i disabled a few google services too, both android tv home and android tv core services, opting to use projectivity launcher. projectivity accessibility service would NOT start until i started removing tcl services, and once i swapped default launcher to projectivity and disabled google home it was working as the default and MUCH snappier ui not just on the home launcher but inside of apps like youtube and jellyfin. I used the ADB TV app to disable, for some reason using adb shell pm disable failed while the ADV TV app from play store was able to successfully disable TCL apps and services. Of note, there are a few services that seemed scary to remove such as the tcl service with BT in the name, remote was fine after removing that, autopair, remote still worked fine, i removed every single item that had "tcl" in it besides tcl.tv and all functions remained intact. i recommend removing the android tv home and the android tv home core services. I'm on a "C06_2k_US" model according to projectivity launcher. If you have any interest in reversing the power button feature let me know!
Update: I was wrong, just noticed i don't have any of my TV inputs available anymore. will update when i determine responsible package.

@kernelzeroday this happened to me too 😅, it's suppose to be either com.tcl.tvinput or com.android.inputdevices, or both!
hope that helps
