Xiaomi MiTV-AESP0 debloat list

About this Xiaomi MiTV-AESP0 list

Header: Xiaomi MiTV-AESP0 (codename aquaman), Android TV 9 (SDK 28), firmware PI.2055.

Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (disabled by launcher/build-and-install.sh). Live TV app: none (no tuner/HDMI inputs); com.google.android.tv is Live Channels. Notes from this firmware: - Default IME is already Gboard, so the Mi TV 4A missing-keyboard quirk doesn't apply. - The remote's Home button sends KEYCODE_ALL_APPS (284), not HOME. Android 9 sends that key only to the system launcher, so with tvlauncher disabled Home does nothing. Fix: install with HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1 TV_HOST=<tv ip> launcher/build-and-install.sh which enables the launcher's HomeKeyService. Android switches it off on every reinstall, so always pass HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1. `input keyevent 284` over adb skips the accessibility filter; test with the real remote. - No HDMI/AV inputs: the launcher hides its Inputs pill by itself on this stick. - Kept on this set: voice assistant (katniss/pumpkin), Chromecast (mediashell), Mi Cast (com.mitv.milinkservice) and firmware updates (com.xiaomi.mitv.updateservice).

Apply the Xiaomi MiTV-AESP0 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-aesp0/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-AESP0" 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-AESP0

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/xiaomi-mitv-aesp0/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.
