quirks:
  - "com.amazon.tahoe is Amazon Kids on this build (FreeTimeFTVApp v3.53: Kids profiles, PIN screens, FreeTime activities). packages.txt disabled it as the ad-tile painter, so Amazon Kids went with it. Both lists now keep it unless the owner names it"
  - "com.amazon.spiderpork is Amazon Luna on this build: it owns the luna: URL scheme and the luna.amazon.* app links and has a launcher activity. packages.txt called it a metrics transport, and disabling it removes Luna. It is now kept unless the owner names it"
  - "svc power reboot did not restart the stick on the first request in either reboot (debloat.sh and dnsfilter.sh): reboot_wait printed 'the TV is still up from before; asking again', and the second request worked"
  - "With ALEXA=1, voice_disabled and alexa_wake_word_disabled were still 0 after debloat.sh. Alexa voice search, opening apps by voice and the search results all worked with dumbtv home holding HOME"
  - "Keeping OTA updates (OTA section taken out of extra-hosts.txt, the two OTA packages out of protected.txt) makes the dnsfilter.sh self-test fail on its hard-coded softwareupdates.amazon.com check and exit 1, although the filter blocks everything else; verify.sh passes once that host is also taken out of verify-blocked.txt"
  - "Protected 0. Absent: com.amazon.tv.democontent.provider only. com.android.nfc ships disabled by the system. com.amazon.neo.minerva.logcat kept running after its disable and was starved"
  - "Second unit, same build, stock lists (updates blocked): debloat 38 disabled, 0 suspect; lockdown restricted 7 protected packages; the filter loaded 382 entries and blocked the update and telemetry hosts; dumbtv home 1.2 held HOME after a reboot; verify.sh exited 0"
  - "The Fire TV Stick Lite (2020) and the Fire TV Stick HD (2024) both report AFTSS, so ro.product.model cannot tell them apart; the retail name is on the box"
  - "Third unit, same build: the full pass with SmartTube, 56 packages disabled, the filter at 398 entries, dumbtv home bound; verify.sh exited 0"
notes: "Three Fire TV Sticks on Fire OS 7.7.1.7. First unit: debloat (37 disabled, 0 suspect), lockdown, the DNS filter and the dumbtv home takeover all ran and verify.sh exited 0, with OTA updates kept by the owner, so the update block was not checked there. Second and third units: the full pass with the stock lists, update block included, and verify.sh exited 0. Prime Video, YouTube, the Appstore and Alexa voice all work."
