Android TV and Google TV packages
What each package does, what disabling it costs, and the ones you must never touch. 140 packages described, 61 protected: TV Slim’s own catalogue.
The risk level says what you lose by disabling the package. “Not tested”: described from an inventory or from reports, without having been disabled on a device — no TV Slim profile selects it.
