-# Chromecast with GoogleTV
-While being a great SmartTV replacement the default set-up does not allow for much customization and has annoying ads included.
-## Changing the Default Launcher
-You will need:
-- A Chromecast with GoogleTV
-- A Laptop with `adb` installed. (On Arch: part of the `android-tools` package)
-- A Laptop with Thunderbolt or USB-C which allows for high power throughput to power the Chromecast as well as connect via ADB.
-
-Google, being Google, does not allow for the disabling of Ads in their default Launcher.
-This is a tutorial on how you can disable the default launcher and replace it with one of your choice.
-We're assuming you're using a Chromecast with Google TV similar to [this one](https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/google-chromecast-mit-google-tv-4k-google-assistant-streaming-media-player-14676764).
-
-### Download a Launcher of your choice
-Go to the Google Play Store and choose any Launcher you would like to use. Good ones are FLauncher or Launchy for a more minimalistic approach.
-Ensure that the Launcher is installed and working before proceeding.
-
-### Enable Developer Options
-Go to `Settings -> Device -> About -> Build` and press the main button about 10 times until a Dialog pops up claiming you're now a developer.
-
-### Connect your Laptop
-Plug the Power Cord of the Chromecast into your Laptop. You will most likely require a USB-C to USB-C cable instead of the included USB-A to USB-C one. The Chromecast should now be able to boot up without the low-power warning. If you're getting the low-power warning you cannot continue and might require a different laptop with better Thunderbolt/USB-C support.
-
-On the chromecast there should now pop-up a dialog asking whether you want to trust the connected device. Trust it.
-
-### Disable the Default Launcher via ADB
-
-On your Laptop, open a terminal and ensure that you can find the chromecast via `adb show`. One device should be listed.
-
-Then, use these commands:
-```sh
-adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
-adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith
-```
-This should have disabled the default launcher. When pressing home, a dialogue should pop up asking for a new default Launcher if multiple are installed.
-
-Your WiFi Credentials might be forgotten for some reason after these steps.
-You can just re-add them in your settings and they should persist from now on.
-
-### Re-Enable the Default Launcher via ADB
-In case you want to revert these changes you can use these commands to do so:
-```sh
-adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
-adb shell pm enable com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith
-```
