How to change the default home launcher in Android TV or Google TV? So when you press home button or reboot your device, you are directly booted to the custom launcher? In this video I'll first show you how to disable home launcher with necessary adb command, and then teach you how to restore it to default.

In this video, I'll cover stock Android TV, MiBox, Mi TV stick, Onn, Tivo stream 4k, Nvidia Shield TV and Google TV.

IMPORTANT: before adb can connect to Android TV or Google TV, you have to enable developer mode on it.
