Debloat the Xiaomi Mi TV MOOQ0

Android TV 10 · 29 apps on the list · tested on a real set

The Xiaomi Mi TV MOOQ0 on Android TV 10 ships with Xiaomi and Google analytics and bug reporting, PatchWall and Mi recommendation channels, promo web content and a floating promo overlay. It also has the TV Manager cleaner, an Alexa bridge, a retail demo loop, and preloaded apps such as Mi Music, JioTV and a parental lock.

The list was tested on this firmware: HDMI 1 to 3, composite AV, the tuner, the Bluetooth remote, Gboard, Play Store, Chromecast, Miracast and USB video playback all still worked. It was also applied on a newer build, where the optional mirroring and media apps were turned off too and Netflix, YouTube and VieON kept playing. TidyTV turns these apps off from a phone over Wi-Fi, after saving a backup.

What always stays on

The Bluetooth remote pairing and the remote's hotkey service, including the Source key
HDMI 1 to 3, composite AV and the tuner
The channel tuning wizard for Live TV
The core TV service and framework resources

Good to know on this model

On some units the remote's Input or Source button sends a key the Inputs menu does not expect, so the menu may not open. Check it with the real remote.
Live TV is not in this list, because its window also opens the HDMI and AV inputs and cannot be turned off without losing them.
After power-on, the TV returns to the last input, not the home screen.

How to do it

Turn on developer options On the TV, open Settings › System › About and select the build number 7 times. Then turn on USB debugging, and Network debugging if you see it.
Tap your TV in TidyTV Your phone finds the TV on the Wi-Fi. Tick "Always allow" and press Allow when the TV asks.
Review, then tidy TidyTV saves a backup, shows these apps with switches, and turns off the ones you pick, checking each one.

Questions

Will the voice button still work on my Xiaomi Mi TV MOOQ0?

Yes. Google voice search is an optional entry in this list, so it stays on unless you turn it off.

Does casting still work?

Yes. Chromecast, Mi Cast and Miracast are optional entries, so they stay on unless you turn them off.

Can I get the old home screen back?

Yes. Restore everything turns the apps back on and puts the old home screen back, in one tap.
