Debloat a BenQ TV step by step

  1. On the BenQ TV: Settings → Device Preferences → About → press OK on Build seven times, then turn on USB debugging (and Network/ADB debugging if listed) in Developer options.
  2. On a computer on the same Wi-Fi, clone the cleanyourtv repository, or open Claude Code and paste the cleanyourtv prompt with your BenQ model number.
  3. Accept the "Allow USB debugging?" prompt on the TV.
  4. Back up the package list, then apply the closest BenQ list in small batches: tools/disable.sh examples/<model>/debloat.txt.
  5. Install the clean launcher with launcher/build-and-install.sh.
  6. Switch USB and network debugging off again when you are finished.

For the full walkthrough see the Android TV guide and the Google TV guide.

BenQ TV debloat FAQ

Can I debloat a BenQ TV without root?

Yes. cleanyourtv uses Android's debug bridge over Wi-Fi and pm disable-user, which needs no root. On BenQ sets it disables telemetry, content rows and preloaded apps, then installs a clean launcher.

Which BenQ TV list should I start from?

Pick the list whose codename, chip and Android version match Settings → About on your TV. If none match exactly, the closest platform is a good start; the cleanyourtv prompt checks every package on your own BenQ set before disabling it.

Will debloating my BenQ TV void the warranty?

Nothing is flashed, rooted or deleted; packages are only disabled in the user profile and can be re-enabled from Settings → Apps or the restore script. Check your own warranty terms if in doubt.

What does a BenQ debloat remove?

Across the 2 BenQ lists, 19 package entries are disabled in total, mostly manufacturer analytics, recommendation and promo services, duplicate cast or share services, and preloaded apps.

How do I undo the debloat on my BenQ TV?

Run tools/restore.sh with the same list you applied. See the restore guide.
