Devices running Android TV can have all kinds of different apps sideloaded onto them, including alternative launchers. I suggest using one.
Please enlighten me to how google tv devices can have the launcher replaced
Projectivy is in Google play. It can't get much easier.
I found this https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-disable-google-tv-launcher-install-3rd-party-launcher.4601397/
I've added a replacement launcher to both a Google TV Chromecast and my Sony Bravia that runs on Google TV.
I didn't have to sideload anything or use my computer at all.
1.Searched Play Store on the TV for the app "Projectivy" and installed it.
Changed settings in the app to make it launch on default (enable "override calls to system default", per ryannathan)
Followed the app instructions to turn on Accessibility Access for the app through the TV settings.
The other one maybe isn't disabled, but I don't ever see it. The tv loads up in an instant now.
I followed these instructions, google tv launcher still starts on boot.
Edit: you have to enable the override calls to system launcher setting
This excites me, I was under the impression it wasn't disablable
You can use adb to do it. First, install a third party launcher, then run these commands after connecting to adb over network or USB:
If you run these commands before installing a third party launcher, you will just get a black screen, and will have to install the launcher over adb.
You can also uninstall other bloatware using the same command, but replacing the package name with whatever you want. If it breaks something, or if you just want the package installed again, you can re-enable it with
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.name.of.packageI'd recommend LeanbackOnFire for a third party launcher.
