remove bloatware

[setti]

Is it safe to remove bloatware apps which preinstalled and cant be removed via apps on rooted tv by rm /usr/apps/...?

And how the f*ck do i remove TVPLUS crap? Ive already disable hbbtv and deleted the channels numbers 5000+, but they come back

No don't rm /opt/usr/apps!!
To properly uninstall, first list apps using:

Code: Select all

wascmd -l

Then retrieve value from app_package_name line, e.g.:

Code: Select all

[...]
--------------app_tizen_id                          =tisT7SVUug.tunein-------------
--------------app_package_name                      =tisT7SVUug-------------
[...]

and uninstall with -u app_package_name:

Code: Select all

wascmd -u tisT7SVUug

Beware that if you don't block (apps).samsungcloudcdn.com, "bloatware" will systematically reinstall on TV bootup.

No idea what is TVPLUS, local provider I guess

TV plus seems to ne something hbbtv related. Something like freeview? Although ive disabled this, I get these extra channels again on every reboot. Grrrrr.

Thx for wascmd hint, but it seems I cant remove preinstalled apps, like I cant via UI.

Code: Select all

tv-schlafzimmer~ # wascmd -l |grep maxdome
--------------app_title                             =maxdome-------------
--------------app_icon_path                         =/opt/usr/apps/Kxeo5u275R/shared/res/Kxeo5u275R.maxdome.jpg-------------
--------------app_tizen_id                          =Kxeo5u275R.maxdome-------------
tv-schlafzimmer~ # wascmd -u Kxeo5u275
uninstall Kxeo5u275
app_id[Kxeo5u275] uninstall start
app_id[Kxeo5u275] uninstall failed[132]
spend time for wascmd is [56]ms

[zoelechat]

Code: Select all

--------------app_tizen_id                          =Kxeo5u275R.maxdome

wascmd -u Kxeo5u275

Uninstall failed because you forgot an R at the end

Umh, f*ck. I need glasses.... Works, Thx!

Isn't there a TVPLUS app you can delete btw? Watch full app list (don't grep)

[zoelechat]

Also you can have a look at /opt/share/packages folder contents, there's an xml per installed app, and possibly hidden to wascmd ones.
You can also try:

Code: Select all

ls /opt/usr/apps/*/bin

e.g.: adplatform.ADPlayer (speaks by itself, can be uninstalled!!)

Unlikely that your tvplus is hbbtv related if hbbtv is disabled. More a "background app" imho.

So? Fixed? Feedback allowed

sorry. bloatware deleted. tvplus, seems to be some systemd service, and channels are loaded, when i scan satellite via predefined astra 19.2 sat.
how to disable systemd services permanently?

Code: Select all

tv-schlafzimmer~ # systemctl status tvplus-service
● tvplus-service.service - tvplus-service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tvplus-service.service; static)
   Active: active (running) since Tue 2018-07-17 22:12:28 CEST; 2min 9s ago

           └─2236 /usr/bin/tvplus-service

Permanently you can't, it's part of firmware and read-only, but you can at least stop service on every boot using systemctl...
In case it's restarting anyway, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

mount -o bind /tmp/waitforever /usr/bin/tvplus-service
killall tvplus-service          # or systemctl stop service

/tmp/waitforever is some dummy script created during root init (=already there), and that's what is gonna be "restarted" instead of true service once mounted.
