dumbtv

dumbtv 把 Fire TV 变回「笨电视」：经 ADB 禁用约 50 个预装广告/追踪/臃肿包，无需 root，每一步都可一键撤销；顺手换上自家的开源 home 启动器——纯 Java、零依赖、无网络权限，体积约 54KB，发不出任何数据。DNS 层面再叠 personalDNSfilter + HaGeZi 规则，把追踪域名掐死在电视本地。README 给了 10 分钟 quick start、逐设备测试表，也把限制写在明处：Fire OS 大版本更新后可能失效，YouTube 的广告拦不住。

作者 Muzzammil Yasin Sabuwala 亲口告诉 TechCrunch（2026-10-19）：「His solution was coded using a combination of Deepseek V4.1 Flash, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Sonnet 5.5, he told TechCrunch, and he plans to maintain the GitHub, adding support for more models over time.」README 里他自己的 "The story" 章节则写道：「So I asked a coding agent to clean it up over ADB, and posted what happened.」仓库还内置了 AGENTS.md，Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Gemini 指向仓库就能接着干。项目 2026-10-18 创建，5 天狂揽 1274★、104 forks，10-22 仍在更新文档与脚本——和 CleanYourTV 是同题材、不同平台（Fire TV vs Android TV）的配对。

dumbtv turns your Fire TV back into a dumb TV: it disables around 50 preinstalled ad/tracking/bloat packages over ADB — no root required, every step reversible with one script — and swaps in its own open-source home launcher: plain Java, no libraries, no internet permission, about 54 KB, so it cannot send anything anywhere. A bundled personalDNSfilter plus HaGeZi blocklists kills tracking domains on the TV itself. The README ships a 10-minute quick start, a per-device test matrix, and honest limits: a major Fire OS update may break it, and YouTube ads are out of reach.

Author Muzzammil Yasin Sabuwala told TechCrunch (2026-10-19), verbatim: "His solution was coded using a combination of Deepseek V4.1 Flash, Claude Opus 5.5, and Claude Sonnet 5.5, he told TechCrunch, and he plans to maintain the GitHub, adding support for more models over time." In the README's own "The story" section he writes: "So I asked a coding agent to clean it up over ADB, and posted what happened." The repo even ships an AGENTS.md so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Gemini can pick up the work from the repository itself. Created 2026-10-18, it gathered 1,274 stars in five days and was still being updated on 10-22 — a companion piece to CleanYourTV on a different platform (Fire TV vs Android TV).
