What is com.tcl.partnercustomizer? Can you disable it?

Side effects: read first. TCL's customisation layer for Google TV: it changes TCL's home rows, and according to TV Slim it also handles the partner shortcut keys on the remote.

What happens if you disable it

Sources disagree. CleanYourTV disabled it on a TCL Google TV without problems and tv-detox lists it as safe; TV Slim says never disable it because the remote's partner keys depend on it. We list it under side effects: if you disable it, test every button on your remote.

Disable or restore it

With ADB connected to the TV:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.tcl.partnercustomizer
adb shell pm enable com.tcl.partnercustomizer
