It was tested on a real set by a cleanyourtv contributor.

About this Skyworth SWTV-21AE list
Header: Skyworth SWTV-21AE ("Living Room TV"), Android TV 14, firmware UKNV.260824.001
ro.product.manufacturer=skyworth, device sunnyvale, MediaTek, about 0.9 GB RAM. Stock launcher: com.google.android.tvlauncher (classic Android TV home, not Google TV launcherx). Live TV and inputs: com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter. Disabled before this debloat, so not listed (restore.sh would turn them ON): com.smartdevice.recommendation, com.google.android.play.games, com.google.android.youtube.tvmusic, com.google.android.marvin.talkback, com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom, org.liskovsoft.androidtv.rukeyboard. Quirks on this firmware, all checked on the TV: - Port 5555 opened with USB debugging alone; no wireless-debugging pairing (unlike the Philips set). - Live TV screenshots come back blank (protected video layer); check dumpsys topResumedActivity instead. - Tested on the day of the debloat, not yet lived with for days.
Before you run it: every package below is disabled, not uninstalled. Comment out (prefix with #) any line for an app you use. Never disable the Play Store, Play Services, the on-screen keyboard or the TV input services that play HDMI. Switch USB debugging off when you are done.

Apply the Skyworth SWTV-21AE debloat
Turn on Developer options on the TV (Settings → Device Preferences → About → press OK on Build seven times), switch on USB debugging and, if shown, Network or ADB debugging. Then, from a clone of the cleanyourtv repository on a computer on the same Wi-Fi:
export TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 # your TV's IP address
tools/venv/bin/python -I tools/tv.py --probe
tools/disable.sh examples/skyworth-swtv-21ae/debloat.txtThen build and install the clean launcher, which makes itself the default Home and rolls back if it fails:
TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 launcher/build-and-install.shPrefer to let an assistant do it? Paste the cleanyourtv prompt into Claude Code with "Skyworth SWTV-21AE" as the model; it reads this list, checks each package on your TV and asks before anything that depends on your preferences.
Restore the Skyworth SWTV-21AE
TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/skyworth-swtv-21ae/debloat.txtThe restore script replays the state recorded before the change, so Home goes back to the launcher that owned it. More in the restore guide and the Android TV debloat guide.
