Cleanyourtv App v0.3.5 Release Notes — What's New

Clean Your TV app 0.3.5 gives more TVs a careful clean-up and adds a safety guard for the ACER R4G. Thank you to everyone who sent a TV report: the list of apps in each one showed us what is safe to switch off on TVs nobody has tested yet.

What's new

More TVs get a careful clean-up. TVs from brands with one or two tested lists (Skyworth, SHARP, onn, OnePlus, Haier and others) now switch off up to six hidden feedback and advertising services: Google Feedback and its consent prompt, the print service, and Android's on-device advertising, ad personalization and ad model services. Before, these TVs got no clean-up unless a list matched the exact model (#89, #108, #169, #194, #196, #251).
Nothing else changes on those TVs. The home screen decision is the same as before, and the app still checks each switch-off on the TV before it runs it. TVs that already had a brand set get nothing new.
A safety guard for the ACER R4G. It is made by MOKA, in the same family as the TVs whose setup wizard comes back at every restart, so Setup never offers the home screen switch on it and does the clean-up alone (#74, #102).
Reports say which set was used. A TV report from one of these TVs now says Profile: brand set <Brand> instead of none.
