Backup, Restore and Remove apps from the Android TV

by kaipee

I've just been through a firmware update of my Philips Android TV today, including reinstalling the TV from fresh after upgrade.

Because of the hassle in reinstalling the TV from scratch, I decided to make some Linux BASH scripts to help with backing up specific APK and their data; reinstalling each APK and its data; and removal of individual bloatware apps; all via ADB.

If anyone is interested the code can be found here : https://github.com/kaipee/android-backup-removal

congrats on the work kaipee.

a while ago I was using a GUI for installing and uninstalling apps, although I ended up using adb as CLI was faster.

I think it was https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-adb-gui-also-flashes-radios-08-01-11.666964/

although the project seems outdated now.

I suggest to look and see whether there is a generic ADB GUI tool out there, and if not, it'd be a good progression for this.
