Seems to have worked out, though I didn't check FLauncher's accessibility. AI says it's not so good because it's in flutter, but don't know how true that is. I had one small issue, where Youtube and tubie of all things didn't show up on the home screen but claude quickly fixed it. Here is my prompt. GO forth, and edit it for your own tv! I want you to clean up and optimize my 2022 Hisense Google TV over ADB. The goals are: * Remove or reduce advertising and recommendation clutter. * Disable factory apps and services I do not use. * Reduce unnecessary background RAM usage. * Make the interface faster and more responsive. * Reduce animation delays. * Keep HDMI, HDMI-CEC, TV inputs, remote control, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, audio, accessibility, casting, and streaming and normal TV functionality completely working. Run the commands yourself and explain what you are doing in plain language as you go. MY TV Manufacturer: Hisense Year: 2022 Exact model: UNKNOWN. Determine this through ADB before making any changes. Operating system: Google TV / Android TV TV IP address: 192.168.1.76 IMPORTANT ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENT I am blind and depend on accessibility features. DO NOT disable, uninstall, modify or interfere with: * TalkBack * Android Accessibility Suite * screen reader services * text-to-speech engines * accessibility framework services * accessibility settings * Google speech services when they are required for accessibility * any Hisense accessibility service Before disabling any package associated with accessibility, stop and ask me. GENERAL SAFETY RULES 1. DO NOT UNINSTALL ANYTHING. Use only reversible commands such as: pm disable-user --user 0 PACKAGE Changes must be reversible with: pm enable PACKAGE Do not use: pm uninstall pm uninstall --user rm root commands 2. Do not root the TV. Do not unlock the bootloader. Do not flash firmware, ROMs, recoveries or modified system images. 3. IDENTIFY THE TV FIRST. Before making any changes, collect: adb shell getprop ro.product.manufacturer adb shell getprop ro.product.brand adb shell getprop ro.product.model adb shell getprop ro.product.device adb shell getprop ro.product.name adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release adb shell getprop ro.build.version.sdk adb shell getprop ro.build.fingerprint Show me the results. Determine the exact Hisense model and Android/Google TV version before continuing. 4. THIS IS A HISENSE TV. Do not copy package recommendations made for TCL, Sony, Xiaomi, Nvidia Shield or other Android TV manufacturers. In particular, package names beginning with com.tcl in generic debloat guides are irrelevant to this television. Discover the Hisense equivalents yourself. 5. MEASURE EVERYTHING BEFORE MAKING CHANGES. Create a folder on my computer called: tv-debloat Save the following before-state information there: adb shell dumpsys meminfo adb shell pm list packages adb shell pm list packages -s adb shell pm list packages -3 adb shell pm list packages -d adb shell dumpsys activity services adb shell dumpsys package Save enough information that we can compare the TV before and after optimization. 6. IDENTIFY CRITICAL HISENSE PACKAGES. Before disabling anything, identify packages responsible for: * Hisense TV platform services * television input framework * HDMI inputs * antenna/tuner input * HDMI-CEC * Inputs/Source menu * remote control * Bluetooth remote * remote pairing * power management * display control * audio * Wi-Fi * Ethernet * system settings * System UI * package installation * Google Play Services * Google Services Framework * Google Play Store * Google TV launcher * keyboard/input methods * accessibility * TalkBack * text-to-speech * Chromecast / Google Cast * DRM * Widevine * Netflix DRM integration Put these packages in an UNTOUCHABLE list. Do not disable them. 7. NEVER DISABLE CORE ANDROID SERVICES. This includes packages responsible for: * SystemUI * framework services * settings * permission controller * package installer * network stack * Bluetooth * Wi-Fi * Ethernet * input methods * TV input framework * media framework * DRM * Widevine * audio * display * power management * accessibility Never disable: com.google.android.gms com.google.android.gsf com.android.vending com.android.location.fused Do not disable any package matching or providing an input method. Do not disable TalkBack or Android Accessibility Suite. Do not disable the existing launcher until an alternative launcher has been installed, opened, tested and confirmed working. 8. INVESTIGATE UNKNOWN PACKAGES. For every Hisense package you are considering disabling, determine what it actually does. Use: adb shell dumpsys package PACKAGE and other appropriate read-only ADB commands. Do not assume that a strangely named Hisense package is bloatware. If you cannot establish what a package does with reasonable confidence, leave it enabled. 9. CLASSIFY THE PACKAGES. Create three groups. GROUP 1: SAFE BLOAT Examples may include: * unused promotional apps * unused streaming apps * demos * retail/demo-mode components * advertising components * recommendation services * unused screensavers * telemetry that is not required for normal operation * manufacturer promotional services Only put something here when you have established that disabling it should not affect normal TV operation. GROUP 2: ASK ME Examples: * Google Assistant * voice search * Chromecast * Live TV apps * media players * streaming applications * screensavers * content recommendation features * Hisense optional services Ask whether I use these before disabling them. GROUP 3: UNTOUCHABLE All critical Android, Google TV, Hisense television, accessibility, remote, HDMI, input, network, audio, video and DRM components go here. Show me all three groups before changing anything. 10. WORK IN SMALL BATCHES. Disable no more than 5 packages at a time. After every batch, STOP. Have me test: * TalkBack and accessibility * remote control * directional buttons * OK/select button * Back button * Home button * volume buttons * Inputs/Source button * HDMI switching * HDMI-CEC * sound * Wi-Fi * Bluetooth * on-screen keyboard * YouTube * Netflix * Google Play Store * TV settings Do not continue until I confirm that everything works. 11. KEEP A COMPLETE RECORD. Create: tv-debloat/disabled-packages.txt and: tv-debloat/DEBLOAT-LOG.md For every package disabled, record: * package name * application/service name * what it does * why it was disabled * exact disable command * exact command to restore it 12. IF SOMETHING BREAKS Immediately re-enable the entire most recent batch. Verify functionality again. Then investigate the packages individually. Do not continue disabling additional packages while something is broken. PERFORMANCE TUNING After the safe debloating stage, set Android animation scales to 0.5: adb shell settings put global window_animation_scale 0.5 adb shell settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.5 adb shell settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.5 Do not completely disable animations unless I specifically ask. Do not modify hidden Hisense picture-quality, panel-control, thermal, power-management or hardware calibration settings. CACHE CLEANUP Use Android-supported cache trimming where appropriate. Do not blindly delete directories from /data or /system. GOOGLE TV HOME SCREEN I may want to replace the Google TV launcher with FLauncher. Do this separately from the initial debloat. First: 1. Verify which launcher my Hisense currently uses. 2. Have me install FLauncher from the Play Store. 3. Verify the FLauncher package is installed. 4. Have me launch it at least once. 5. Confirm that TalkBack works properly inside FLauncher. 6. Confirm that I can launch Settings, YouTube, Netflix and other apps. 7. Determine the safest method for using FLauncher as the default home interface on this specific Hisense firmware. DO NOT disable the stock Google TV launcher until the replacement launcher has been thoroughly tested. Before changing the launcher, create and show me the exact recovery command that restores the original launcher. FINAL TEST Reboot the TV. After rebooting verify: * TV boots normally * TalkBack starts and works * Home screen works * remote works * Inputs/Source works * HDMI works * HDMI-CEC works * Wi-Fi works * Bluetooth works * audio works * keyboard works * Play Store works * Netflix works * YouTube works * Settings works Then collect the same measurements taken before optimization. Give me: 1. Exact detected Hisense model. 2. Android/Google TV version. 3. Before and after available RAM/memory comparison. 4. Complete list of disabled packages. 5. What each disabled package did. 6. Complete list of performance changes. 7. Exact command for undoing each change. 8. A restore script or command sequence that restores everything to the original configuration. Do not make assumptions about Hisense-specific packages. When uncertain, leave the package enabled.

Funny all this talk on Double tap about vibe coded names. I'm working on another idea with access in the name. Names are so hard. BlindTerm should now work better with codex and things like that too.

I want a keyboard on the iPhone duo, or duel, whatever it is Would be cool as an option.

@Tamasg@mindly.social True. It's a hard debate for sure, since there are no easy answers everyone will agree on.

@joslee@mastodon.world Yeah no worries. I get the emotion. I'm lucky that I've only recieved valid PR's and issues on my projects.

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com Yes it is smart.

So muse.ai is out in Canada, and I am a user of it. You can get it to do tasks for you automatically, but your milage may vary. I also used codex and the browser addon in brave to clean out my Gmail, so now I have like 50% free space. Was a fun challenge to connect github to it. Now my daily server check is done for me I don't need to think about it, until one day I'm locked out of my VPS. I'm just asuming, but I couldn't help automating my cron activity checks, and my mud directory, and translation updates for my addon mirror, as an experiment.

RE: https://mindly.social/@Tamasg/117068669205384223 If we can't learn this about politics... I listen to both sides of things. I know you don't share this side of the opinion entirely so no offence to you, but ,,, If people don't like vibe coded projects don't comment no one is forcing you. I hardly ever market my software because of these people/I am not trying to take over the world.

@Jage@mas.to It's in there now. @Tamasg@mindly.social

@blindndangerous@mstdn.social I commited some cool changes for hermes. It actually works for me now. @Jage@mas.to @Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me @walkside3@mastodon.social

@seedy60@vee.seedy.cc How do you get Snow leopard working? Probably in the upgrade. @Tamasg@mindly.social

@brian@leaseysocial.com I just let people report to me. Whether it's on Mastodon, in Telegram, or somewhere else it's easy to report to me.

@joslee@mastodon.world I am using it myself.

@walkside3@mastodon.social You might like blindPilot then. BlindTerm is still sort of a work in progress. BlindPilot interfaces with your installed codex and lets you use a more enjoyable interface. https://github.com/serrebidev/BlindPilot/releases/latest

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com I had to install it for the answer and decline call alt control A Alt control D functions

@stevenscott@tweesecake.social Is it just easier for you to brainstorm in voice? For me, it's much easier in text. Voice I would just end up wasting tocans asking is it done yet?

@startrek2025@mastodon.stickbear.me What are you using instead?

@Tamasg@mindly.social Nice it will be listed by the morning!

RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/117293152421507210 If every artist had to proove every sample, software they use is legal we would be in the same situation, because lots wait until they are famous.

@jscholes@dragonscave.space That is so stupid. You can send responses to people in messages.

@kaveinthran@mastodon.stickbear.me I decided to do it. It should drop soon. @Tamasg@mindly.social

@pixelate@tweesecake.social I have already done it. Did so many pr's and issues I didn't know were there. @mikedoise@techopolis.social

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com It's really smart. AGI is just a buz word for we're almost caught up to Claude. IMPO

@Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me same @pixelate@tweesecake.social @mikedoise@techopolis.social

@socheat@dragonscave.space Is there a good update mirror which will update addons like this. I would use it, if it had all addons in it. @Tamasg@mindly.social

@kaveinthran@mastodon.stickbear.me hey don't update it's broken. I will let you know @Tamasg@mindly.social

@Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me You can resume an old conversation. @blindndangerous@mstdn.social @walkside3@mastodon.social

@blindndangerous@mstdn.social I know, right! @Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me @walkside3@mastodon.social

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com This person wants the WhatsApp app to work. They don’t want to have to use web, although that might be something worth exploring

@kaveinthran@mastodon.stickbear.me I like sonicRoom if you're interested in calls thing you can host on your own domain. https://github.com/ogomez92/sonicroom I use it on calls.serrebiradio.com @doubletap@tweesecake.social

@Jage@mas.to Yes I am. I think it works great. @Tamasg@mindly.social

Someone's jellous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK6wfma8EvY

@stevenscott@tweesecake.social I use a lot on server configuration so I know the feeling.

@joslee@mastodon.world People would hate AI much less if people would manually test. Lots that we'll disagree on , but that would help so much if manually testing was a skill people had.

@Jage@mas.to I also index certain github nicknames for nVDA addons and such. It's not just your page. @Tamasg@mindly.social

nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft_culmqyNQ

Hollywood mind virus for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4riPfl-8hI

RE: https://mastodon.stickbear.me/@Orinks/117345595491672945 O boy.

@lord_raven86@mastodon.stickbear.me I think he's porting it to rust. Not sure which projects of mine would be worth attempting that. @Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me

RE: https://serrebiradio.com/@aedan/117350785078888234 MLM is much worse than charging. There's a pressure part to that whole arangement. Not so much with meta. Take it or leave it. Plus, there's plenty of sub $100 options FDA aproved and if they are going to get the glasses anyways, it might make sence. I don't think it's the end of the world.

RE: https://serrebiradio.com/@aedan/117351991434753511 I don't see Jaws people pressuring me to switch back to Jaws though, that's what you are not considering here. MultiLevel Marketing companies are anxiety inducing.

@kaveinthran@mastodon.stickbear.me GOod idea. I will think about it. @Tamasg@mindly.social

@stevenscott@tweesecake.social wow! Is that hard to do? When I had the $200 codex chat GPT plan from a friend and was sharing it, it was challenging to get there. I don't even think I saw 25% 5 hours limit.

@blindndangerous@mstdn.social You are not wrong about pony tail. It's currently fixing my memories situation. Just uses more tocans than before. @Jage@mas.to @Orinks@mastodon.stickbear.me @walkside3@mastodon.social

@stevenscott@tweesecake.social I know. I pay for 3 services now. Commandcode.ai is my backup of my backup, to avoid paying more than $100.

@walkside3@mastodon.social If you want to try blindTerm you can get it from https://github.com/serrebidev/BlindTerm/releases/latest , BlindPilot was more of what you really want. I'm still trying to remove some lag from blindTerm, so if that bothers you don't set it as default just yet.

@ppatel@mstdn.social I'm excited for this. Hope to see it soon.

@mewproj@fwoof.space Omygod you're gonna get me to switch from Foobar, which would probably be a good thing since it runs on so many places.
