CleanYourTV on Amazon Fire TV
How CleanYourTV works on Amazon Fire TV devices: 8 tested model lists, the packages contributors disable most often, and what to watch out for.
8 Amazon Fire TV 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.
On Fire TV only half of CleanYourTV works: the debloat runs, but Fire OS does not hand the Home button to a third-party launcher, so the new home screen cannot replace Amazon’s. On the 2015 Fire TV Box (Fire OS 5) even the debloat fails, because every way of disabling a package is refused.

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/amazon-fire-tv-aftdec012e/debloat.txtSwap 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.
Amazon Fire TV questions
Does CleanYourTV work on Amazon Fire TV?
Partly: the debloat works, but the new launcher cannot become the home screen. Contributors have tested 8 Amazon Fire TV models so far.
How do I remove ads from Amazon Fire TV?
Turn on USB debugging, then run the CleanYourTV prompt in an AI coding assistant on a computer on the same Wi-Fi, or apply your model’s list by hand. The how-to guide has every step.
Which Amazon Fire TV packages are safe to disable?
The table on this page shows what contributors disabled most often, with their notes. Packages that keep inputs, the remote, settings or the Play Store working are left on. Always keep the list you applied so you can restore it.
Can I undo it?
Yes. Run the restore script with the same list; see how to restore. The TV’s own Settings → Apps page can also re-enable packages.
