What’s inside

  1. 11. Check your TV first
  2. 22. What you need
  3. 33. The one-time TV setup
  4. 44. The prompt
  5. 55. Safety: the backup comes first, and how to undo everything
  6. 66. REA: the free GitHub skill, for TVs with no ready-made prompt
  7. 77. When something doesn't work

1. Check your TV first

The quick test: if your TV has the Google Play Store, it runs Android TV or Google TV, and the prompt works on it.

Your TV

Ads and bloat off

Clean home screen

Android TV or Google TV (Android 8.0 or newer)

Yes

Yes

Android TV older than Android 8.0

Yes

No. The launcher needs Android 8.0

Amazon Fire TV

Mostly. The 2015 Fire TV Box refuses every route

No. Fire OS will not hand Home to another launcher

A few China-market TCL sets

Yes

No. They refuse any new launcher

Samsung (Tizen)

No

No. A different system with no debug bridge

LG (webOS)

No

No. A different system. See REA in section 6

The repo lists 252 tested TV models from 74 brands (its own count on 23/10/2026). The biggest groups are TCL (57), Sony (31), Xiaomi (28), Philips (12) and Hisense (9), plus the Chromecast with Google TV, the Google TV Streamer, NVIDIA Shield and a lot of projectors. Your model not on the list? The prompt finds the bloat on your TV itself.

That’s the first part. The rest of this guide is free too.
