Apply the Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 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/sony-bravia-4k-ur2/debloat.txt

Then 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.sh

Prefer to let an assistant do it? Paste the cleanyourtv prompt into Claude Code with "Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2" as the model; it reads this list, checks each package on your TV and asks before anything that depends on your preferences.

Restore the Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/sony-bravia-4k-ur2/debloat.txt

The 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 debloat guide.

Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 debloat FAQ

Is it safe to debloat the Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2?
The Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 list only uses pm disable-user, so nothing is uninstalled or flashed. Every package can be turned back on with the cleanyourtv restore script or from the TV's own Settings → Apps page. Apply it in small batches and check the TV between them.

How many packages does this Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 list disable?
25 packages, grouped as: tracking / ads / recommendations; demo / shop mode; voice assistant (removes the remote's mic search; skip these three to keep it); Chromecast built-in (skip to keep casting) and more. Comment out any line you want to keep before running it.

Does the Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 list work on a similar model?
Often, if the platform matches. Compare the device codename and firmware in the list header with Settings → About on your TV. The cleanyourtv prompt also checks each package on your own set before touching it, so a near match is a good starting point.

Will the Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 get the Apple TV-style launcher?
Yes. After debloating, cleanyourtv builds its small native launcher (about 300 KB) and makes it the default Home, rolling back automatically if Home does not land on it.

How do I undo the Sony BRAVIA 4K UR2 debloat?
Run TV_HOST=<tv ip> tools/restore.sh examples/sony-bravia-4k-ur2/debloat.txt. It replays the record saved before the change. Full steps are in the restore guide.
