Tool Open source
An open-source toolkit for slimming Android TV and Google TV devices over a local network. It connects through Android Debug Bridge (ADB), diagnoses the TV, saves its app and settings state, and disables selected advertising, telemetry, promotional, and other system services using brand-specific package lists; the changes are reversible and the toolkit does not uninstall protected apps. It can also install Zen Home, a minimalist launcher with configurable titles, four-, six-, or eight-app layouts, favorite-app docks, photos, themes, weather, and optional replacement of the original home screen. The toolkit provides Windows, macOS, and Linux applications or scripts, downloads ADB on first launch, checks the target TV's serial number before actions, and includes a restore option. The kit and Zen Home source are released under the MIT license; the repository describes it as a personal, unsupported project with no warranty.
