CleanYourTV on Sony Bravia
How CleanYourTV works on Sony Bravia TVs: 23 tested model lists, the packages contributors disable most often, and what to watch out for.
23 Sony Bravia lists in the official repository. If your exact model is below, the assistant can start from its list; if not, the closest one in the same series is a good start.
Sony Bravia lists include Google TV and older Android TV sets, plus several China-market models. On some Bravia sets the remote button helpers need to be checked after the install, because the stock launcher answered those buttons.

A package being common does not make it right for your TV. Each list starts with a header that names the packages that must stay on for that model, such as those behind HDMI inputs, the remote and settings.
Applying your list by hand
TV_HOST=<tv ip> tools/disable.sh examples/sony-bravia-4k-gb/debloat.txt
TV_HOST=<tv ip> launcher/build-and-install.shSwap in your model’s folder. To undo it, run tools/restore.sh with the same list; on Google TV add the stock launcher com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx as the second argument.
