Cleanyourtv App v0.4.7

Clean Your TV app 0.4.7 brings the new home screen to more TVs, and everything from the 0.4.7 test builds.

Thank you to everyone who tested the 0.4.6 and 0.4.7 test builds, restarted their TV and told us what happened. Your answers decided which TVs get the new home screen in this release, and you're on our testers page. To see what the app does on your TV, search the TV list.

What's new

The new home screen on more TVs, with the setup wizard left on. On TVs with Google's Android TV home screen, the new home screen takes over while the TV's setup wizard stays on, so your Wi-Fi isn't touched. 0.4.6 did this for Xiaomi and Redmi on Android 9 to 11. 0.4.7 adds:

• OnePlus TVs on Android 11
• Sony TVs on Android 8
• Hisense TVs on Android 9
• Homatics boxes on Android 14
• MECOOL boxes on Android 14
• the Xiaomi MiTV-MZTU1 on Android 14
• "My" Android TV sets (yeoksam, shandao and tokyo) on Android 11

Each one was confirmed by at least two testers whose new home screen was still there after a restart, and nobody said it didn't hold. The safety checks stay: a TV whose setup wizard or another app answers the Home button keeps its own home screen. More brands come as testers confirm them.

The look and wallpaper reach more TVs. On some TVs (Xiaomi and TCL with Android 11, Android 14 boxes) Android refused the app's copy of the look. The app now hands the look to the home screen itself.

Clearer screens. When the TV keeps its own home screen, every screen says so first, with the reason, and doesn't offer looks that can't apply.

The app counts restarts. After a switch, each time the app connects it checks whether the TV restarted and whether the new home screen is still answering Home. When a restart held, Tell us it worked opens a short, prefilled confirmation for GitHub (no names, addresses or serial numbers, and nothing is sent until you post it).

This is your TV now. After a look goes to the TV, the app shows the TV's own screenshot, with "Not right? Send it again".

Manage reconnects by itself after the TV restarts or you come back to the app, and no longer waits forever when your phone is on a different Wi-Fi than at setup. The waiting screen says what's wrong, and Connection details makes a short text to share with us (no full addresses, Wi-Fi names or serial numbers).

Safety fixes from your reports:

• Xiaomi MiTV-MOOQ0: the factory test app now really goes off before the TV's own home screen, so Home can't land on a factory test screen (#1944).
• Skyworth SWTV-22AE-FHD: My Apps and the daily manager stay on, which the remote's custom button needs (#1378).
• Boxes with an operator's own home screen ranked above ours (Jio's on the JMSB200A, #2028) keep their home screen.
• The MOKA board sold under Panasonic and other brands gets no home screen switch, like the rest of that family.

Smaller fixes: "Check for updates" works on more networks; the dock has a Live TV row on more TVs and no empty spaces; reports show the app's version again; Customise names your own photo look.

The Home button helper from the test builds isn't in this release yet. It stays in the test builds while we finish it.

Install

Download cleanyourtv-0.4.7.apk below and open it on your phone (Android 9 or newer, on the same Wi-Fi as the TV). It installs over 0.4.6.1 and the 0.4.7 test builds and keeps everything. If your TV is in the list above and kept its own home screen before, open it in the app and tap Run Setup again.

If anything goes wrong, tap Report a problem in the app. Undo everything in Manage puts the TV back the way it was.
