Android TV performance can be significantly improved by removing pre-installed bloatware and disabling unnecessary background processes. Users can achieve this by enabling USB debugging on their television and using the open-source "CleanYourTV" tool, which automates the removal of unwanted applications and services. The process involves connecting a computer to the same network as the TV, enabling developer options, and executing a specific prompt provided by the tool. This method allows users to customize their TV interface, remove sponsored recommendations, and optimize system resources. The tool also provides a backup feature, allowing users to restore original settings if necessary. The process takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes to complete and has been tested on over 200 TV models from 69 different brands. By reducing the number of active background applications, users can experience a faster, cleaner, and more responsive user interface, effectively extending the usability of older or lower-spec Android TV devices.
