StudioOpen-Source Script 'dumbtv' Removes Ads and Bloatware from Fire OS and Android TV via ADB
Original title: humblemuzzu/dumbtv
The GitHub repository humblemuzzu/dumbtv provides a script that uses ADB to remove ads, disable telemetry and Alexa, replace the launcher, and add local DNS filtering on Fire OS and Android TV/Google TV without root or system modifications. It has been tested on Fire OS 7.7.1.7, disabling approximately 65 packages, and includes a restore.sh for reversibility. While it cannot modify closed systems like Samsung, LG, or Roku (which require router-level blocking), the project gained nearly 1,000 stars in two days and invites users to submit device-specific configurations.
Introduces an open-source script for streamlining TV systems and removing ads and trackers via ADB, highlighting differences between Fire OS and Android TV as well as the boundaries of its reversibility.
