Help me clean up my Android TV and make it faster. My TV is a <model>. Before you change anything, tell me in plain words that this turns off system apps and has some risk, and ask me to confirm. Connect to my TV over Wi-Fi, list every app in plain English, ask me before every change, turn apps off instead of deleting them, and keep a list of what you changed and how to undo it.

Questions about TV Detox
What is TV Detox?
TV Detox makes an old, slow Android TV fast again. You paste a prompt into Claude Code or Codex on your laptop, and the agent removes bloatware, ads and sponsored rows and installs a tiny ad-free home screen with your apps, HDMI inputs and a clock. Apps are turned off, never deleted, and undo.sh turns everything back on. It is an open-source project on GitHub: https://github.com/Ansub/tv-detox.
How do I use TV Detox?
On the TV press Build 7 times in Settings, Device Preferences, About, then turn on USB debugging in Developer options; then open Claude Code or Codex on your laptop, on the same Wi-Fi as the TV; paste the prompt from the README Get started section and fill in your TV model.
