SAY GOODBYE TO BIG COMPANIES WITH THESE ALTERNATIVES

Throughout the years, we have been relying on big companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta and others to give us access to their products to use our computers and phones, communicate on the online web, and store our files. However, as things have gotten worse with the years and the rise of gen-AI only making things worse, people are starting to question if they can even move to new services. However, the journey can be hard and there are so many options that non-tech savvy people are going lose patience and give up. That is why I made this long and comprehensive list of mostly open-source alternatives to different things from computer OS, social media, to even TV. Many things are easy to move to, others are for more tech-savvy people, and this list doesn't even have all of the available options in any category! However, this is a great first step into trying new things and to slowly move away from big tech. You don't need to do it all at once, go step by step, decide if there are some services you can't stop using and which ones could use a switch and have fun!

Set FLauncher as default launcher Method 1: remap the Home button

This is the "safer" and easiest way. Use Button Mapper to remap the Home button of the remote to launch FLauncher. Method 2: disable the default launcher

?? Disclaimer ??

You are doing this at your own risk, and you'll be responsible in any case of malfunction on your device.

The following commands have been tested on Chromecast with Google TV only. This may be different on other devices.

Once the default launcher is disabled, press the Home button on the remote, and you'll be prompted by the system to choose which app to set as default. Disable default launcher

Disable com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx which is the default launcher on CCwGTV

$ adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx

com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith will then be used as a 'fallback' and will automatically

re-enable the default launcher, so disable it as well

$ adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith

Re-enable default launcher

$ adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx $ adb shell pm enable com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith

Known issues

On Chromecast with Google TV (maybe others), the "YouTube" remote button will stop working if the default launcher is disabled. As a workaround, you can use Button Mapper to remap it correctly.
