quirks:
  - "Android 9 SDK 28, build PI.4663 release-keys. No verified generic Android TV removal profile is supplied."
  - "Installation failed with Requested internal only, but not enough space. Removing owner-selected apps freed enough storage; no cache or unrelated app data was cleared."

    PatchWall was disabled reversibly for user 0 with
    adb -s "$ADB_SERIAL" shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.mitv.tvhome.atv.
    Restore it with adb -s "$ADB_SERIAL" shell pm enable --user 0
    com.mitv.tvhome.atv. Disabling it also prevents its MiTV+ installation
    prompt; it does not by itself remap the remote button. No system APK
    was deleted and no files under /system were changed.

    On this physical remote the Mi button delivered Android keycode 191;
    left and down delivered 21 and 20. A separate locally built accessibility
    helper consumed only key 191 and invoked the global Back action. The
    owner confirmed that Mi worked as Back with PatchWall disabled. The
    helper is not included in this repository, and persistence of this later
    button mapping across reboot was not tested. An ADB-injected keycode
    192 also launched PatchWall, but was not the physical Mi button code;
    injected events did not validate the accessibility mapping.
notes: >-
  Manual partial session: removed six owner-selected third-party apps,
  installed checksum-verified repository-pinned dumbtv home and SmartTube
  stable, and disabled stock YouTube rather than deleting it. Four analytics
  and feedback packages disabled for user 0. HOME resolved to dumbtv after
  disabling com.google.android.tvlauncher and the setup handler. After a
  reboot, HOME selection and all seven disabled package states persisted;
  Wi-Fi and ADB returned. Android Private DNS using a public resolver with the HaGeZi Normal
  list blocked pagead2.googlesyndication.com and
  googleads.g.doubleclick.net while Prime Video resolved. After reboot,
  the first blocked-domain check and the Prime Video check passed again.
  Prime Video and other owner-selected streaming apps were retained.
  SmartTube stable launched successfully before the beta was removed.
  Playback was not verified. Fire OS all.sh and verify.sh were not run;
  this entry does not establish a reusable package removal profile.
