cleanyourtv: Turn Android TV into Apple TV over Wi-Fi

Removes unnecessary apps and telemetry from Android TV and Google TV over Wi-Fi.

All operations are performed with backups, allowing you to revert to the initial state using a rollback script.

The assistant reuses tools from the repository to perform backup, debloat, launcher build, and installation steps, verifying each step with screenshots. This process takes approximately 15 minutes.

Installs a native launcher in place of the existing home screen to provide an Apple TV-style interface. It features a favorite apps dock, a top shelf with ambient glow, and an app grid on a pitch-black background. It also includes frosted buttons that display HDMI port status and network information.

Provides a contributor-tested list for over 170 TV models and projectors, including TCL, Sony, Xiaomi, and Philips. Fire TV supports only the debloat feature, while Samsung Tizen and LG webOS are not supported due to different systems. Check the examples folder for compatibility and precautions for specific models.
