tv-vibehack: Remove Android TV Ads and Replace with a tvOS-Style Launcher
Gathin23/tv-vibehack
About the project
Clean up the cluttered home screen on Android TV or Google TV, which is filled with manufacturer ads and unnecessary apps. Simply connect via ADB to disable telemetry and ad services, and set a minimal native launcher reminiscent of Apple TV as the default home screen.
Run the prompt with a coding agent to automatically analyze your TV model and installed apps, generating an optimization list. All changes are backed up, so you can restore the original launcher and settings with a single rollback script. This lightweight 1.6MB app is designed to run smoothly even on low-spec devices with 1GB RAM.
Supports most Android TV devices, including Xiaomi, TCL, Sony, and Nvidia Shield, but excludes Samsung Tizen and LG webOS. Control remotely via Wi-Fi without complex manual setup, and place only your preferred apps in the dock to minimize unnecessary interactions.
