Overview
@fmontes I did the same.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Use Hermes Agent to remove pre-installed bloatware from an Android TV. The user instructs the agent to identify and uninstall unnecessary system apps. Human role involves verifying the list of apps to be removed before execution to prevent accidental deletion of critical system components.
Reported result
The source claims the process 'just worked' but provides no measured outcomes, such as storage saved or performance metrics. No specific failures or success rates are documented. Acceptance check: Verify that the TV boots successfully and core apps (e.g., Play Store, Netflix) remain functional after debloating.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include ADB access or root permissions on the Android TV, which may void warranties or brick devices if misused. The source is a brief social media post with low reliability and no technical details. Human approval is strictly required before any system modification.
Try it
I want to debloat my Android TV using Hermes Agent. [replaceable: TV model, current OS version]. First, connect to the TV via ADB. Ask Hermes to list all non-essential pre-installed apps. [replaceable: list of apps to keep]. Review the proposed removal list with me. Do not execute any uninstall commands until I explicitly confirm the list is safe. After confirmation, run the removals one by one. Finally, reboot the TV and verify that the home screen loads and the Play Store opens. If any critical app is missing, restore it immediately. Report the total storage freed and any errors encountered.
