Question: Does this support Android TV? #910

While this is "universal android debloater" it's mainly for Android Phones, hypothetically it should not be too complicated for it to be for Android TVs too, right?

bruhhhh!

the ULTIMATE GUIDE on how to setup my tv, for good.

  1. enable all features that improve sound and picture
  2. chill/use the streaming apps
  3. and dont fuck around any further

if you think you need a firewall for your tv , you are an idiot. if you think you need your tv to have best performance ( by disabling bloat ) , you are an idiot

from a seasoned android tv user. ( i dont even remember last time i used my tv for anything. its a sony 4k bravia tv , with tons of features and stuff. but it cant beat my laptop. lmao. )

@fcjtd

Please do your research before saying things like this. https://www.youtube.com/@hdtvtest (his most viewed videos, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiL6ZJXta4U and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGFt746TJu0 just as an example) Only feature worth using on TVs is Filmmaker mode, that's it, everything else should be disabled.

but it cant beat my laptop

I have 4 smart TVs in my home, one of them is mine and guess what? I'm not even connected to the internet on that one, I use it as a monitor since it's connected to my PC, every TV sucks, the performance is bad and the "smart features" are bloat with tracking elements. I do advice you to search about "Why smart TVs sucks" on Google or YouTube.

if you think you need your tv to have best performance ( by disabling bloat ) , you are an idiot

it's not about performance to be honest.

firewall for your tv

I guess you have no idea what you TV is doing (from the network side of things), I get that impression from you, I'll tel you what, I have Pi-Hole, which is a DNS Server that blocks ads, telemetry and analytics URLs (and more), so I have a rough idea of what requests are being done from the TV, and if I suggested or asked about debloater for TV then there's probably a reason why, so there's no need to be aggressive and call other people names, that's rude and disrespectful.

Have you seen the system apps? "Analytics" it's literately a system app, yes, that's the name of the app, I'm not joking. Also "Bug reporter" or something like that is a system app.

I agree with you that some apps are not safe to disable, after all they are called "system apps" for a reason, but there are some that you can disable safely, the same way on your phone, you don't need ALL the bloat, it's ok to remove 1 or 2 where you can just to make sure the telemetry and analytics are disabled, that's it, no need to risk anything.

@Obegg

sorry, shouldnt have called you stupid

have good day sir.

maybe i was thinking more on the "how it should be"

That's the good idea instead of degoogling your phone, that's better to degoogle android TV - but as goodle applications are well organized on operating on TV. But for removing the bloatwares that's a best choice and i hope so we need to update the packages available cause there will be different package names for TV applications i think so
