cleanyourtv Debloats Android TV and Replaces Its Home Screen

Описание и применение

Поток работы cleanyourtv позволяет отключать ненужные пакеты и заменять домашний экран на Android TV без рутирования, используя adb, Python и PowerShell.

Задача

Android TV and Google TV devices often ship with preinstalled apps that users consider bloat and a default launcher that may not suit their preferences.

Результат

The workflow disables unwanted packages without uninstalling them, enabling easy restoration, and installs a small, network‑free launcher that replaces the stock Home screen on a wide range of Android TV devices.

Рабочий процесс

• Enable USB debugging on the TV and authorize the computer via the debugging prompt.
• (Optional) Enable Network or ADB debugging if available.
• Back up the current package list and settings using the provided scripts.
• Run the debloat script (disable.sh) to disable selected packages with pm disable-user.
• Run the launcher installation script to install com.gathin.tvhome and set it as Home, rolling back if it fails.
• (Optional) Use restore.sh to re-enable previously disabled packages and revert the launcher.
