Debloat a CHiQ TV step by step

  1. On the CHiQ 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 CHiQ model number.
  3. Accept the "Allow USB debugging?" prompt on the TV.
  4. Back up the package list, then apply the closest CHiQ 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.

CHiQ TV debloat FAQ

Can I debloat a CHiQ TV without root?

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

Which CHiQ 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 CHiQ set before disabling it.

Will debloating my CHiQ 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 CHiQ debloat remove?

Across the 2 CHiQ lists, 32 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 CHiQ TV?

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