Hi all, I have a TCL TV running Google TV. I used to use a Firestick 4k Max and had a Task Killer app and a debloat app.
I know ADBAppControl has a debloat function but it also shows a Mobile Phone as the interface for button functions.
Are there any apps to kill unnecessary tasks on a Google TV and a specific Google / Android TV debloat app?
Thanks

My hisense Tv has its own app that kills apps and clears cache and can uninstall apps. But your Tv may not IDK. There are apps in the google play store on your Tv. Check there. I cant specifically give you a name of one. Sorry for that.

Unless your HiSense TV is running GTV or you are using CCw/GTV, my previous post does not apply.

Here is how I got to work Spotify via vasting on my razer forge since even newest app would not detect it,new chromecasts and old ones are ok with it.
If you have amazon fire tv or fire tv stick or can use friends either device then all you need to do is log in with your amazon account and then extract spotify connect from fire stick or fire tv,then sideload it to your nexus player/shield/forge or sony android tv.
You also need to sideload amazon appstore (underground now) and log in with your account.
You will then be able to use spotify via casting from your phone tablet etc.
Take a look at my post on Razer Forums:

Enjoy!

it won't do much for you unless you can disable Amazon DRM. It will only work with my account or - your account
What I can suggest that you make amazon account,download their appstore and download the spotify connect to your device and then you will be registered (at least add click to cart and purchase it for free) then hit me up and I will post APK for you.
It will work this way.
Connect apk
Yes can you please post the spotify connect apk you pulled, I have amazon app store and purchased the app. I tried using the 0.0.6 version on my nexus player but i think it's too out of date. Thank you

why not use Spoticast in the first place?
Anyway, this is all annoying and those are just cheap workarounds. We need this to work directly from the official Spotify app without any tinkering. As far as I can see, the Android TV Google Cast functionality has now been degraded to something you could call Google Cast Light ...or Google Cast 2nd Class. As both, a Spotify Premium and an Android TV user I hate to say I'm disappointed, especially since e.g. Deezer has been working without issues on Android TV for ages. Either I've missed it or neither Google nor Spotify have mentioned Android TV compatibility at all in this case. This is the beginning of Google Cast fragmentation...

There is no link to the APK and your account. If they have an amazon account they can just install the underground, login, install spotify, open spotify (dont have to do anything, just open it) then on your phone\tablet\whatever, choose the Asus NexusPlayer.

Spotify Connect APK attached. Amazon Underground can be obtained from here.
works for one song and then fails. Songs play but no audio
amazon.com/Spotify-Connect/dp/B00N1XIY5Q/
Apparently upgraded. Do you have the apk for 0.2?
Why not just use the Spotify add-on in Kodi?
I´m also interested in latest APK.
Could someone please upload the file, I cannot download it "You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions. "
Hi,
I would like to have Youtube without ads on my AndroidTV box (the box is provided by my ISP and is not "rootable").
I dont want to use a solution that will need a VPN (because of privacy issues). So, I can't use Adaway, nor DNS66 solution.
I tried Youtube vanced but it doesnt work correctly on the android TV. The remote control and the interface is for "mobile" and not for television
I also tried "Smart Youtube TV" but even if the app has a great interface (the same as the original), I still has ads displayed.
Do you know good solutions for my purpose ?
Thanks a lot community !

Try installing ES File Explorer, then download a YouTube.apk, store the apk file in your internal storage in the folder of your choice. Then, open ES File Explorer, tap the menu button, find the "Network" option, then select "Android TV", click "scan", if it finds the TV, connect with it, then it should allow you to install YouTube on the TV using the apk file that you stored on your device.

Figured this has been discussed many times, but could not find the details?
Was wondering if there was a way to get a youtube app installed on Webos that will play videos without ads? I know it may need to be rooted, so if thats needed thats ok. It seems like there is a way root now with 3.5 or lower.
I know with Android this is easy with or without root. So would like to do the same with LG SmartTV running WebOS.
you can probably add the urls for the ads to the hosts file which should stop them from loading

Can I do that not rooted?
URL blocking hasn't worked for well over a year with YouTube. PiHole and the like are ineffective.
You need a modified app that doesn't play ads, like you get for Android. I don't think one exists for LG WebOS.
Run youtube without ads on LG-TV
Have the Youtube app installed on the LG-TV (Useing this app direcly will always show adds on all youtube videos), if you have an android phone -Then google "YouTube Vanced" -its a modded adfree Android YouTube client, works on none rooted android phones. Run the app on your phone search for the Video then use icon to cast screen to the TV. Youtube app on TV will show the video without ads.
I guess you can do the same if you have iPhone and an youtube adfree app.

any update on this subject? unfortunately casting from Vanced is not a solution anymore, TV keeps showing ads which can be skipped after 5s of viewing. What is interesting - Vanced even displays a notification that TV is going to show the ad in a few secs
I just went to https://rootmy.tv from my LG TV web browser and it installed the homebrew channel, from that I was able to install the adfree youtube mod and disable my TV checking for new updates which might lose my root. It also includes SponsorBlock in the mod so it will skip annoying subscription reminders & in-video promotions.
Can you revert back if needed?
I have a 2019 model
Hello,
I'm evaluating if a HD 10 could be my first tablet ever. I would mainly need it for research and youtube videos. Also my kids should use it.
My main concern is: could I get a web adblocker working on the HD? Is eg Adblock possible in the fire browser? Can I install "youtube vanced" for having a youtube version without ads (or anything else)?
Could I install apps limiting the usage for my kids, without having to license any monthly-subscription apps for it?
Thanks a lot
It's possible!

Yes, you can. I recommend DNS66 because it works without root and is not very battery intensive. You can download it from F-Droid, an alternate app store. Here's a good article about it.

Yeah, just sideload a Youtube Vanced and MicroG APK. That's it. You can find rootless versions here. Note: These versions cannot save watched videos, watch progress or search history (for me).

Yes, your tablets ships with Amazon Freetime. You have to create a kids profile then you can restrict how long and what apps your kids use, check their activities and get a restricted kids web browser as well.
My six-year-old Cousin has a Fire HD 8 Kids Edition setup with Freetime and it seems to work.
I have found that Jio TV box provided with Jio Fiber Connection, is not allowing to use general settings.
How ever being an Android TV Box, settings will be available in an application form. So one can always install applications that allow to remap the buttons or keys either on Remote Controller / Keyboard / Mouse. e.g. "Button Mapper" is one such application.
I personally does not have Jio TV Box, but I have found many searching for solution. Above trick might work your you. If any problem occurs, please reply in comment.
can't install any application. how would we install a remapper?
You can install it from Google Play Store.
If you are not finding that application in Play Store, then you will have to "Side Load" that application.
"Side Load" an app means, you will have to download the apk file of the application, put it/make accessible for your JioTV box, enable third party application in settings, and then install the apk file by clicking it on JioTV box. If you are new to side loading you can Google it YouTube it for nice explanation and demonstration of it.
I hope this helps you.

- There is no "Play Store"
- There no way to install apk. Native android "Settings" are not accessible.
JioTV box is a trimmed down version of Android OS without Google Play Store. This means you need to use other Apps and tools for this purpose.
You can watch this youtube video, that explains how to install JioTV Apk on JioTV Box.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75rkGDoVQCA&ab_channel=BhushanDroid
Similarly you can install the application you want.
Let me know if this works for you.

Youtube video is 9 months old and is not applicable anymore
The options he accesses in his video are not available in jio tv box now.
That's pretty old video...
Yes, After Feb 2020 Jio had removed the Android Settings as well as App Installer.
The default set top box comes with options of installing third party software, as soon as you connect it with Internet it gets update and it blocks everything.
We need to wait till some solutions is possible for this.
