Remove bloat/apps from Walmart onn streaming box

by TechGearWhips

If you know how to use adb then run the following commands:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.disney.disneyplus

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.play.games

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.videos

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hbo.hbonow

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.hulu.livingroomplus

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.netflix.ninja

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube.tvmusic

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube.tv

​

And if you want to replace home launcher (ATV Launcher), Sideload Channel Launcher, etc) INSTALL IT FIRST and then run this command:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher

​

Delete lines for whichever apps you want to keep. You can also copy and paste these commands into a .bat script and make it one click.

Hey guys! I made a YouTube video on how to take Onn Tv Box from set-up, to unlocked bootloader/root, to debloating (thanks to this thread and several others), adding a custom launcher, to using Tasker to "re-route" the buttons on the remote and more. Hope it helps anyone having trouble or new to the device! Thanks!

Is there a way to remap the buttons after doing this?

Thank you so much for the guide on changing stock launcher on Onn 4k box

Can these steps also work with the Chromecast with Google TV?

MrShakezilla

if i disable the launcher via adb will it re enable after the next update? my mom wants the flauncher but the old way with the launcher manager does not seen to work now.

Is that just the video apps that you might download anyway if you wanted? Or is there something specifically bloated about the pre-installed ones?

Would removing the preinstalled Hulu app this way allow me to install an older version? Or is this only disabling the apps, where trying to install an older version would enable the preinstalled and throw me an error?

I'm still happy with my Mi Box 3 but that $30 pricetag for new hardware is tempting. Just want to know how it would work. I have older versions of several apps that I strongly prefer over the current.

Anyone figure out how to use an external USB stick to add storage? My seems to detect and identify the stick, however doesn't let me do anything with it such as move apps to it or make it part of the main storage.
