Removing bloatware crashing Tv (Nokia) with Adb

by -Mr-ReX

I'm trying to uninstall/remove built-in and system apps (YouTube, Netflix, Google music etc)

adb shell uninstall ... removing the apps but it's making my TV crashed and remote buttons not working. Somehow I opened Google play and opened settings and did reset. But anyone here faced this problem?

Uninstalling apps like Netflix, YouTube mostly won't make the TV crash. But uninstalling the stock launcher or services may.

You can use Button Mapper to map the app specific buttons to something else after uninstalling the apps.

I disabled Netflix, YouTube and mapped those buttons to Nova Player, Live TV on the Kodak Android TV using Button Mapper.

Does

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.blah.blubb

result in the same crashes?

Buttons not working will be most probably due to you uninstalling an app that actually does handle those buttons (plus a few things that you wanted to get rid of...Naughty guys at Nokia ;-)
