Chromecast with Google TV (HD) debloat list

12 packages that owners have disabled on the Chromecast HD without breaking it, grouped by what they do. Copy the commands, run them over ADB, and undo any of them with one line.

Tested on: Google TV 14 (Android 14), build UTTC.250917.004
Stock home screen: com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
Connecting with ADB: Same one-time Wireless debugging pairing as the 4K model. Port 5555 closes again after every reboot, so run adb tcpip 5555 again after a restart.

Read this first

The Wi-Fi network you joined during first setup belongs to the setup wizard. Disabling setupwraith deletes that network, and the HD has no Ethernet port. Forget your Wi-Fi in Settings and join it again before you disable setupwraith.
Disabling setupwraith also breaks casting from phones, exactly as on the 4K.
Only about 4 GB of storage and 1.4 GB of RAM: large sideloaded apps may not fit.

Advanced: packages with side effects (3)

These were also disabled on the tested device, but each one changes how the TV behaves (casting, the remote's mic, apps you may use, or which screen opens on Home). Only disable them after reading the warnings above.

Package	Note
`com.google.android.apps.tv.dreamx`
`com.google.android.backdrop`
`com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith`	setup wizard; its RecoveryActivity otherwise takes over Home
