About this Toshiba Fire TV list

Header: Toshiba Fire TV (AFTHA004, codename hazel), Fire OS 7 / Android 9 (SDK 28), build PS7717.5741N.0036408028416

Contributed by umang350 (PR #4). Also a fair start for other Toshiba / Insignia Fire TV Edition sets on Fire OS 7. FIRE OS: DEBLOAT ONLY. Fire OS will not let a third-party launcher take over Home: com.amazon.tv.launcher and com.amazon.firehomestarter are protected packages (pm disable-user is refused), their HOME filter has priority 950, and `cmd package set-home-activity` prints Success but is ignored. launcher/build-and-install.sh does not apply here; this list removes Amazon's ads, telemetry and preloads around the stock home screen. (restore.sh re-enables the stock launcher as a matter of routine; on Fire OS it was never disabled, which is harmless.) Kept on purpose: Alexa, OTA updates, AirPlay, DIAL/whisperplay (Netflix and YouTube casting), the streaming apps this owner uses (Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Plex, VLC, MX Player) and the stock launcher. Two packages tried on this set would not disable (protected): com.amazon.device.metrics and com.amazon.ftvads.deeplinking. They are left out; the Insignia list mentions the same two.

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 Toshiba Fire TV 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/toshiba-fire-tv-aftha004/debloat.txt

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

Restore the Toshiba Fire TV

TV_HOST=192.168.1.50 tools/restore.sh examples/toshiba-fire-tv-aftha004/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 Fire TV debloat guide.

Toshiba Fire TV debloat FAQ

Is it safe to debloat the Toshiba Fire TV?
The Toshiba Fire TV 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 Toshiba Fire TV list disable?
35 packages, grouped as: Ads, shopping, content recognition; Telemetry and metrics; Tutorials and promos; Amazon content apps and more. Comment out any line you want to keep before running it.

Does the Toshiba Fire TV 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.

Can I replace the home screen on the Toshiba Fire TV?
No. Fire OS will not hand the Home role to a third-party launcher, so cleanyourtv only applies the debloat half on Fire TV devices. See the Fire TV guide.

How do I undo the Toshiba Fire TV debloat?
Run TV_HOST=<tv ip> tools/restore.sh examples/toshiba-fire-tv-aftha004/debloat.txt. It replays the record saved before the change. Full steps are in the restore guide.
