Debloat the Motorola MT4310

Android TV 11 · 13 apps on the list · tested on a real set

This 43-inch Motorola set, sold in Argentina, runs Android TV 11 and has under 1 GB of memory. It ships with silent installers, a store demo, setup leftovers, telemetry, recommendation and promo rows, and a few unused system services. It is a small set, so memory is tight.

It was done in batches on one TV with a home screen check after each, then a restart. Live TV, HDMI switching and the real remote's buttons were checked. TidyTV turns these off from your phone over Wi-Fi, saves a backup first and never deletes anything. It had held up for a day when it was written.

Good to know on this model

The TV's factory tool turns Google Assistant and the recommendation service back on at every start, so they are not on the list.
The screen sleeps after 5 minutes idle and Wi-Fi drops with it. If the TV seems to vanish after a restart, press Power.
The remote's mic button opens Bluetooth pairing until the remote is paired.
Never open the factory menus on this TV, even to look.

How to do it

Turn on developer options On the TV, open Settings › System › About and select the build number 7 times. Then turn on USB debugging, and Network debugging if you see it.
Tap your TV in TidyTV Your phone finds the TV on the Wi-Fi. Tick "Always allow" and press Allow when the TV asks.
Review, then tidy TidyTV saves a backup, shows these apps with switches, and turns off the ones you pick, checking each one.

Questions

Do the Netflix and YouTube buttons still work?

Yes. The TV's own key services handle them, so they keep working with a new home screen.

Why are Assistant and recommendations still on?

The TV's factory tool turns them back on at every start, so the list does not try to switch them off.

Does it have a way back?

Yes. Restore everything in the app turns every app back on in one tap, and puts the old home screen back if you changed it.
