What each thing is
Android package catalogue
4801 applications identified, with what each one does and the care it wants.
This is not the directory. Here we say what a package is in general; what happens on your particular television is on your model's entry, and that one wins. The same package can be dead weight on one set and hold the home screen up on another.
