Adds a README.md to examples/google-chromecast-gtv-4k/ with three things found after running debloat.txt: holding Home does nothing once launcherx is disabled (only its dashboard answers TOGGLE_NOTIFICATION_HANDLER_PANEL on this box; debloat-keep-cast.txt keeps it), the TV only switches off with the box once HDMI-CEC is on in the TV (SIMPLINK on an LG), and the remote's Input button is infrared and never reaches the box. Nothing outside the folder changes.

Tested on: Chromecast with Google TV 4K (sabrina), Google TV 14, UTTC.250917.004, with an LG TV. dumpsys package com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx shows its .dashboard.DashboardHandler as the component declaring TOGGLE_NOTIFICATION_HANDLER_PANEL, and with launcherx disabled cmd package query-activities -a android.app.action.TOGGLE_NOTIFICATION_HANDLER_PANEL finds none; Home held on the real remote did nothing.

The example README tests pass.

On this box #3241, once merged, would give the held Home back by opening the launcher's quick panel.

maintainer-bot review · this one needs a maintainer decision · Leans: merge (72%)

Thanks for the careful check of which app answers a held Home press on sabrina; it explains a behaviour owners will notice. These notes look ready to go in as they are, since they don't change either list and were tested on the box.

Why it goes to a maintainer: edits a TV list that is already on main (confidence 0.72 < 0.85).
The bot's own suggestion would be: merge.

Checks
  • Note: edits a list already on main: google-chromecast-gtv-4k
  • OK: no protected packages disabled
  • OK: remote pairing and input left alone
  • OK: everything it changes can be undone
  • Size: size/S (+15 -0, 1 files)

This is a suggestion; a maintainer makes the final call. A maintainer can comment /bot review to run it again.

Thanks @Belseck, the Chromecast with Google TV 4K notes cover held Home, HDMI-CEC and the Input button in one new README, tested on sabrina (UTTC.250917.004) with dumpsys and query-activities, and leave both list files untouched.
