Partial The companion app is an Android TV app. Listing packages, sideloading, and showing network connections are buildable. But disabling system bloat and ad/tracker components without root, and tracking destinations reliably, requires deep Android platform knowledge and maintained blocklists.
What it would actually take: Building a real version means an Android TV app that uses ADB or privileged package-management APIs to disable system packages without root, plus a DNS/VPN-based tracker blocker and connection monitor. It needs curated, maintained tracker and bloat lists and Android-internals expertise to avoid breaking devices across manufacturers.
