Before you clean your TV, keep the exact package list and original state records. Restoration should follow those records, rather than a guessed list copied from a different television.
Read the restore guideRestore records are not a full system backup. They do not undo unrelated edits or remove the new launcher.
Read connection and safety adviceUnderstand the tools, limits, and recovery options before changing your television.
Read troubleshootingHere, clean your TV means improving the software home screen: reviewing unwanted manufacturer services and installing a simpler launcher. It does not mean wiping the panel, rooting the television, or deleting every preinstalled application.
No. You can clean your TV home screen without changing advertisements inside YouTube or other streaming apps. Your streaming subscriptions, accounts, playback restrictions, and application settings remain separate from the launcher.
Android TV and Google TV are the starting point. Before you clean your TV, check its exact model, region, firmware, and debugging options. Samsung Tizen and LG webOS cannot run this Android launcher.
Clean your TV is free to read and use, with no account, checkout, or subscription. If you choose a coding assistant, that provider may charge separately. Experienced users can follow the included technical documentation themselves.
Keep the original package list and state records before you clean your TV. The restore tools use those records. They are not a complete system image and cannot reverse unrelated manual changes.
Preserve essential input, audio, Bluetooth, and casting components. When you clean your TV, test each feature after small changes. Stop and restore affected packages if something important behaves differently.
No. Once you clean your TV and verify the result, disable USB and network debugging, revoke computer authorizations, and restart. Everyday use of the launcher does not require an open debugging connection.
Use the free guide to clean your TV carefully, with your own apps and a documented way back.
