Debloat a Xiaomi TV: remove PatchWall ads and bloatware

Q: Can I remove PatchWall?

Yes. The PatchWall packages (com.mitv.tvhome.*) are in the safe groups of each list. On Google TV builds they often ship already disabled. On a PatchWall TV, Home has to fall back to another home screen once they are off: press Home after disabling them and check it still opens before you go on.

Q: Will it stop firmware updates?

Only if you also disable the update services (com.xiaomi.mitv.updateservice, com.mitv.upgrader, com.mediatek.tv.systemupdater). This page lists them under side effects, not as safe, because turning off updates also turns off security fixes.

Checked 2026-10-30 · 4 tested Xiaomi TV lists

Xiaomi TVs ship with Xiaomi's analytics, the PatchWall content rows, background "cleaner" services and preloaded apps. You can switch them off from a computer without root, and undo every change. Which list to use depends on the system your TV runs, not just the model name.

First check your system: Google TV (2024+ models such as the Xiaomi TV A Pro), Android TV with PatchWall (Mi TV 4A and other older models), or Fire TV (the Xiaomi F2). The model code can be the same across systems.

Quick start: 3 steps

Turn on USB debugging. Settings → Device Preferences → About → press OK on Build 7 times (on Google TV: Settings → System → About → Android TV OS build), then Developer options → USB debugging. Connect with adb connect <TV-IP>:5555 and accept the prompt on the TV.

Disable the 4 packages every Xiaomi TV list agrees on (Xiaomi analytics, Google feedback and the PatchWall home tab):

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.tv.analytics
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xiaomi.statistic
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.feedback
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.mitv.tvhome.atv

Open the list for your model below and copy the rest, or pick packages one by one in the command generator.

Lists by model

Xiaomi TV A Pro (2026) · Google TV (Android 14) · 13 safe packages

The list author calls it a good start for other 2024 and newer Xiaomi Google TVs. It was applied on a 75" and a 55" unit.
Keep mitv.service and com.mitv.overseaservice (remote keys, the Netflix button, the Bluetooth remote), every com.mediatek.* package (tuners, inputs, AirPlay), com.mitv.livetv, com.mi.bluetooth, com.mitv.setup and com.xiaomi.mitv.scenemode (game mode).
Keep com.mitv.gallery if you open photos from a USB drive, and com.google.android.apps.mediashell if you cast or use Stremio.
Do not disable the Google TV home screen (launcherx) on its own: on this Google TV 14 build Home then lands on the setup wizard's recovery screen.

Xiaomi TV debloat FAQ

How do I know which Xiaomi TV system I have?

Open Settings → Device Preferences → About. Google TV shows a For you tab across the top of Home. PatchWall is Xiaomi's own home screen with large content tiles; behind it the TV runs Android TV. A Xiaomi F2 says Fire TV on its home screen and runs Amazon's Fire OS.

Can I remove PatchWall?

Yes. The PatchWall packages (com.mitv.tvhome.*) are in the safe groups of each list. On Google TV builds they often ship already disabled. On a PatchWall TV, Home has to fall back to another home screen once they are off: press Home after disabling them and check it still opens before you go on.

Will it stop firmware updates?

Only if you also disable the update services (com.xiaomi.mitv.updateservice, com.mitv.upgrader, com.mediatek.tv.systemupdater). This page lists them under side effects, not as safe, because turning off updates also turns off security fixes.

Does it work on a Xiaomi Mi Box or TV Stick?

Those are separate devices: see the Mi Box S 2nd Gen list. For other boxes, start from the Android TV guide.

Do I need root?

No. Everything uses ADB from a computer on the same Wi-Fi. Packages are disabled for your user, not deleted, and adb shell pm enable <package> brings any of them back.
