Delete stock apps on TV

by Sultan50

Hi all,

Does anybody know how I can delete the unusefull stock apps on my TCL Android TV? Apps like: Rakuten TV, Eros now etc.

Kind regards,

look into ADB over ethernet, then use this tutorial - https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

  1. Try to install ADB on your Windows computer from here .
  2. Turn on developer options -> USB debugging on your ATV device.
  3. On your Windows computer, open command prompt and type this:

a) adb connect 192.168.X.X:5555 (X is the rest of you TV's IP).

b) adb shell

c) adb devices ( you will see a prompt on your ATV device asking you to authorize a connection with the computer, grant it).

d) pm uninstall --user 0 PACKAGE_NAME (Sometimes you must repeat this command twice to delete the updated version and the original stock version).

You can disable them, if they cannot be uninstalled. They will still use the space if disabled but will not load in the background.

You can disable them if you cannot uninstall them. They will not show nor update anymore. This is what I did. It is also less of a hassle than using adb. The result is similar anyway.

Maybe go to the play store and look for an uninstaller app.

Settings--->apps--->the app you want to uninstall--->uninstall.

If there's no option then that all can't be uninstalled. You might be able to--->disable it but otherwise it's built into the system.
