I Fixed My Android TV!

android tv sucks my android tv sucks

your android tv sucks and everyone's

android tv sucks but why is the android

tv experience so bad the answer is

simple most android tvs just have bad

specs see these are some of the popular

android tvs in india and all of these

have low end quad core chipsets for

example featuring cortex a55 cores to

give you an idea cortex a55 cores are

used as efficiency cores in chipsets

like the helio g85 these tvs also have

low ram low storage and it's not just

mid-range tvs even the higher end

android tvs don't have very good specs

so it's obviously not a surprise that

android tvs don't perform the best

because the specs are just too low-end i

mean i've always been an android tv user

and i've been tired of android tvs

issues so you know what i fix things and

i'm going to show you the steps you can

take to do the same so i'm going to show

you how you can speed up performance on

your android tv how you can get rid of

the bloatware how you can stop spammy

recommendations now i'm going to start

with speeding up the performance because

that's the biggest problem in android

tvs so they're basically four android tv

settings that you need to change to

boost up the performance so number one

the first thing you need to do on your

android tvs go to settings and enable

developer options it's the same process

as on your android phone device

preference is about hit the build number

multiple times keep hitting and it's

done developer options is here

now once you're in the developer options

there are four settings that make a big

big impact trust me these are super

useful the first thing you need to do is

scroll down in developer options and

adjust the animation speed so you can

completely turn it off which does speed

things up but i prefer setting it to 0.5

x because any ui without animations

looks a bit clunky and this also speeds

things up now i know this is something

that we used to do on our android phones

years back but a lot of people don't

know that this option is available in

android tvs the next thing you should do

is set the maximum number of open tasks

in the background so i've set it to two

on my android tv and it has been a lot

more responsive than before see there's

no multitasking in android tv and all of

these tvs have low ram so rather than

many apps taking up ram slowing things

down this will make sure that only two

apps are using the ram at most now this

frees up a lot of ram and yeah speeds

things up number three another option in

developer options that a lot of people

say makes their android tvs faster is

use gpu for 2d rendering just enable

this and things start to feel more

responsive the next option to change is

not in developer options instead you

will find it here in the settings i'm

talking about usage diagnostics and

location tracking turning this off makes

the performance better because these

services just keep running in the

background taking up ram and cpu

resources so yeah turn this off now all

of these options combined do make the

android tv experience faster i mean

here's a before and after of the tv and

you will notice that after changing

these options the scrolling is faster

app launches are quicker everything

feels more responsive and smooth so

these steps definitely work and they

should make your adder tv faster but i

know a lot of people are also annoyed

with the recommendations on the home

screen so android tvs recently got this

new home screen that brings

recommendations and not everyone likes

it in fact some people also blame this

for making the tv slower now if using a

google tv dongle or google tv tv there

should be an app only mode that removes

all the recommendations as for other

android tv users you can go to apps and

settings and scroll all the way down and

tap on show system apps now look for

android tv home basically the launcher

and when you find it just uninstall all

its updates now that's all you'll get

the old android tv home screen back with

only the apps now do make sure to go to

the play store settings and enable do

not auto update apps this is important

now that is a good way if you want to

get rid of these spammy recommendations

on the android tv launcher but if you're

not a big fan of the android tv launcher

altogether you can use an open source

and clean launcher like f launcher cf

launcher is available on the play store

and you can use button mapper to set the

home button to open f launcher by

default you can also properly remove the

android tv launcher and set f launcher

is the default launcher with these adb

commands don't worry i'll leave a link

to this below now this is what the f

launcher looks like it has a very clean

ui with the focus only on apps no

recommendations nothing it's all smooth

and responsive and i like the fact that

it is customizable you can create

categories move abs around and do a lot

more

moving on android tvs obviously come

with bloatware in fact some updates

bring bloatware yeah it's like that on

android tv but let me show you how you

can remove bloatware on android tvs for

example this tcl tv comes with apps like

tcast t channel who even uses them now

you know what android tvs are low on

storage so removing these apps are the

best way to free up storage now you can

disable some of these apps from the

settings or you can use adb app control

to uninstall system apps from android tv

this tool is simple to use adb works

wirelessly you just need to enter the

tv's ip address in the app to connect

the tv like this and after this all the

apps will be listed now you can just

select the apps you want to uninstall

select uninstall and hit the uninstall

button you can see the apps going away

one by one in the tv right this is super

useful and the detail steps are in the

article below so basically with these

steps you can improve your android tv

experience and i've used these methods

and my tv definitely feels more snappy

and fast to use there's also no

bloatware which also helps in speeding

things up trust me you'll notice that

it's also cleaner with no

recommendations so if you have an

android tv you should definitely try out

these steps i think they'll help you out

and improve your android tv experience

but this is probably the best we can do

the real work has to be done by android

tv manufacturers see the real problem is

android tv makers aren't making any

commitment to these tvs there's no

commitment in terms of updates i mean

most android tvs are running android tv

9 or 10 while android tv 12 with a lot

of performance improvements has been

here for quite some time to give you an

idea the new x series of me tvs that

runs recently come with android tv 10.

there's also no focus on bringing good

specs on tvs i mean if you think about

it phones have good specs latest

software maybe some bloatware in

comparison android tvs have bad specs

outdated software and they also come

with bloatware not very good it's

honestly high time android tv

manufacturers brought better tvs to the

market with faster processors more ram

more storage because only then we'll

have a good android tv experience well i
