# Full pass done by hand over ADB; verify.sh only checks Fire OS things.

developer_mode: >-
  Standard Google TV path: Settings > System > About > Android TV OS build,
  press OK seven times, then Settings > System > Developer options and turn on
  debugging. The exact menu labels on this unit were not recorded.
ip_location: >-
  Not recorded on this unit. On Google TV it is normally under
  Settings > Network & Internet > the connected network.
prompts:
  - name: "adb install hangs or fails silently"
    when: "sideloading the dumbtv home APK"
    blocks_automation: true
    fix: >-
      adb install hung or returned without installing. Push the APK to
      /data/local/tmp and run pm install -r on it from adb shell; that
      succeeded and printed an explicit result.
data:
  packages: data/androidtv/packages.txt
  protected: data/androidtv/protected.txt
  never_disable: data/androidtv/never-disable.txt
  user_apps: data/androidtv/user-apps.txt
launcher:
  mechanism: set_home_activity
  package: tv.dumbtv.home
  reason: >-
    dumbtv home answers HOME once the Google TV launcher and its setup app
    are disabled.
  quirk: >-
    The launcher's Guard only matches com.amazon.tv.launcher, so it does
    nothing on Google TV. HOME needed com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx and
    com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith disabled with pm disable-user:
    setupwraith's RecoveryActivity also answers HOME, at priority 1. Both are
    in data/androidtv/never-disable.txt; disabling them was a deliberate,
    owner-approved exception on this TV.
quirks:
  - >-
    launcherx and setupwraith both stayed disabled after a reboot on this
    build.
  - >-
    Wi-Fi dropped for about 40 s during the APK install. Reconnect with
    adb connect on port 5555 and check the install result before retrying.
  - >-
    Private DNS set to an ad-blocking DoT resolver validated on this build and
    blocked doubleclick.
  - >-
    Made by Skyworth: the vendor packages are com.smartdevice.* (DailyPlay
    recommendations, daily shortcuts, e-manual) plus MediaTek's system
    updater. All of them uninstalled for user 0 without complaint.
notes: >-
  Manual ADB session on 2026-10-19 (repo scripts not run for the changes).
  31 packages changed: 29 uninstalled for user 0 and 2 disabled (launcherx
  and setupwraith). The removed set included the vendor recommendation and
  shortcut apps, Google feedback, Play Games, ad services, federated compute,
  on-device personalization, the Google TV screensaver, katniss and hotword
  enrollment, the MediaTek system updater, and preinstalled streaming apps
  the owner does not watch. See the commented block in
  data/androidtv/packages.txt.
known_limits:
  - "Observed on one unit and one build; other Philips/Skyworth models and firmware may differ."
  - >-
    all.sh and verify.sh were not run end to end: verify.sh checks Fire OS
    things, so its pass/fail says nothing about this TV.
  - >-
    katniss and the hotword packages were removed. On the TCL G08 that took
    voice search with it; expect the same here (not checked on this TV).
