Claude Code debloated a parents' Android TV and freed 90% RAM

Ansub used Claude Code over ADB to strip bloatware, tracking, and auto-installers from their parents' Android TV, uninstall 11 unused apps, and build a custom launcher with only the apps they use. Free RAM rose about 90%, and every change can be reverted with one command.

my parents' old Android TV was full of bloatware and sponsored rows you couldn't turn off.

so I had Claude rip it all out.

Claude Code ran on my Mac mini and did everything over ADB.

it disabled the bloatware, the tracking and the auto-installers, and uninstalled 11 apps nobody used.

free RAM went up about 90%.

then it built a custom launcher with just the apps they actually use.

and every change can be undone with one command.

honestly it feels like a new TV now.
