How to clean up a slow Android TV with a coding agent with TV Detox

Turn on developer mode, paste the README prompt into your agent and let it turn off junk apps one confirmed step at a time.

Short answer: 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. All steps.

device-risk. The README warns this turns off system apps and that a few TVs got stuck at the logo or kept restarting. Do it at your own risk and keep undo.sh handy.

debugging. While USB, Network or Wireless debugging is on, other devices on your network can ask to control the TV, so turn it off when done.

Who it is forSomeone whose older Android TV stutters and shows ads on the home screen.

The problemOld TVs fill up with bloatware and sponsored rows that eat memory and slow everything down.

The outcomeA faster TV with a calm home screen, plus a list of every change and how to undo it.

What you need first

  • Claude Code or Codex on a laptop
  • A TV running Android TV or Google TV, on the same Wi-Fi as the laptop
  • Developer mode and USB debugging turned on in the TV settings

Steps

  1. On the TV press Build 7 times in Settings, Device Preferences, About, then turn on USB debugging in Developer options
  2. Open Claude Code or Codex on your laptop, on the same Wi-Fi as the TV
  3. Paste the prompt from the README Get started section and fill in your TV model
  4. Confirm each change when the agent asks, since it turns apps off instead of deleting them
  5. When it is done, turn off USB, Network and Wireless debugging, or turn off Developer options

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. Google TV and Chromecast with Google TV should keep Google TV's own home screen on, and OLED TVs should keep the screensaver on.
