Debloat a Sony TV step by step
- On the Sony 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.
- On a computer on the same Wi-Fi, clone the cleanyourtv repository, or open Claude Code and paste the cleanyourtv prompt with your Sony model number.
- Accept the "Allow USB debugging?" prompt on the TV.
- Back up the package list, then apply the closest Sony list in small batches:
tools/disable.sh examples/<model>/debloat.txt. - Install the clean launcher with
launcher/build-and-install.sh. - Switch USB and network debugging off again when you are finished.
