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:
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:
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

wascmd -u Kxeo5u275
Uninstall failed because you forgot an R at the end

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

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:
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.

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
Main PID: 2236 (tvplus-service)
CGroup: /system.slice/tvplus-service.service
└─2236 /usr/bin/tvplus-service
tv-schlafzimmer~ # systemctl status tvplus-service.path
● tvplus-service.path - tvplus-service services are launched

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.
