Debloat the Vision 2024VISION43STV
Android 13 · 16 apps on the list · tested on a real set
This Vision TV runs CVTE's own home screen instead of Google TV, and ships with ads and telemetry, manufacturer content and ad services, and a skinned stock launcher. The list covers those and a few apps off by the tested owner's choice.
It was tested on one set for a day, and the clean home screen part is only half done. The TV has no Developer options, so the connection comes from a factory menu code on the remote. TidyTV saves a backup first. TidyTV turns these apps off from your phone over Wi-Fi, saves a backup first and never deletes anything.
