Partial The app UI and open-source packaging are standard, but reliably debloating TVs needs device-specific ADB knowledge and a curated, maintained database of trackers and devices across 300+ models.
What it would actually take: Build an Android/TV app that wraps ADB commands and side-loading, plus a community-maintained JSON database of devices and package names. The hard part is research into each TV's firmware, tracker endpoints, and safe-to-disable packages, which requires reverse-engineering skill and ongoing community maintenance. Breaking a TV's system is a real risk, so it also needs careful testing.
