Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd gen debloat list

About this Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd gen list

Header: Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd gen (model MiTV-AFKR0, codename jaws, Amlogic), Google TV / Android 11 (SDK 30)

2 GB RAM. Fingerprints: Xiaomi/jaws/jaws:11/RTT0.211222.001/772:user/release-keys and RTT0.211222.001.737 (validated 2026-10-19 on a Philco 4K TV) Stock launcher: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx. HOME claimants on stock: launcherx (priority 2), com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith/.RecoveryActivity (priority 1), Settings FallbackHome. A streaming box: no HDMI-in or tuner, leave live_tv_package empty in config.xml; the Inputs pill hides itself. Tested: every package below was disabled in batches with screenshots in between, the launcher from launcher/ was installed and owns Home, and Home and Wi-Fi both came back by themselves after a reboot. Validated again 2026-10-19 on 737: launcher com.gathin.tvhome owns Home, cname switched from setupwraith to com.android.tv.settings and survives reboot. Still provisional until few-days soak per CONTRIBUTING.md, but second confirmation. Notes from this box: - The stock adb on macOS connected fine on port 5555 once USB debugging was on; no wireless-debugging pairing and no tools/tv.py needed. - Disabling launcherx alone makes Home resolve to setupwraith's RecoveryActivity; `cmd package set-home-activity` reports Success but does not take effect until setupwraith is disabled too. - Right after disabling setupwraith, Wi-Fi dropped for about 20 seconds and the box asked for the Wi-Fi password again. Once it was re-entered, it stayed saved across a reboot. - After living with it: Wi-Fi, USB playback (with debugging off), Google Home, the phone remote, Chromecast from a Pixel and Google Assistant all still work. On 737, display is 1920x1080 UI with Settings > Tela e som > Resolução = 4k 60Hz (video 4K, HDR none on Philco 2016 EDID). - The remote's shortcut buttons (Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Xiaomi TV+, Apps) all do nothing once launcherx is disabled. Prime Video and Xiaomi TV+ are disabled anyway; Netflix, YouTube and Apps were handled by launcherx, as on the Chromecast with Google TV (see that list for a Key Mapper remap). Kept on purpose: Google Assistant (katniss), Chromecast (mediashell), phone remote (tv.remote.service), YouTube Music, Xiaomi USB media apps (mimusic2, mitv.gallery, mediaexplorer, mitv.videoplayer), Miracast (smartshare, wfdsinkhelperservice), com.xiaomi.tvqs.overseas (quick settings panel), com.xiaomi.android.tvsetup.partnercustomizer (remote shortcut buttons - safe to disable if you don't use the Netflix/YouTube/Prime shortcut keys; tested disabled on 737 with no other effect), mitv.service, com.mi.bluetooth, com.droidlogic* (Amlogic system), com.xiaomi.gtv.settings.

Apply the Xiaomi Mi Box S 2nd gen 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-box-s-2nd-gen/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 Box S 2nd gen" 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 Box S 2nd gen

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/xiaomi-mi-box-s-2nd-gen/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.
