Optimize Your Sharp Smart TV: Disable Built-in Apps for Faster Performance

You can speed up your smart tv experience by disabling some annoying, built in apps.

First, enable ADB on your Android TV unit.

To Activate Developer Options: Navigate to Settings > About. Tap Build number seven times to enable developer mode.

Once done, find your TV's IP address and connect to it using the adb command line tool from your personal PC or Mac.

adb connect 192.168.254.101
adb shell

Finally uninstall the following packages one by one.

pm uninstall --user 0 azan.android.av.sharp.co.jp
pm uninstall --user 0 com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.play.games
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mediatek.wwtv.mediaplayer
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mediatek.wwtv.tvcenter
pm uninstall --user 0 com.mstar.android.tv.disclaimercustomization
pm uninstall --user 0 fusion.android.tv.demo
pm uninstall --user 0 jp.co.sharp.av.android.emanual
pm uninstall --user 0 jp.co.sharp.av.android.epopdemo
pm uninstall --user 0 rcota.android.av.sharp.co.jp.rcota

For best performance, disable animation scales to 0.

To Change Animation Scales: In Settings, go to System > Developer options. Under the Drawing or Animation section, locate:

• Window animation scale

• Transition animation scale

• Animator duration scale

Set all of them to 0 or 0.5x for a blazing fast performance.
