Google Assistant (and home) not working properly after cleaning the tv

[Trevi205]

I have a TCL Q6C, android 14, this app did miracles to my tv, fixed me things that i tried to fix in anyway possible.
Anyway after cleaning the tv, everytime i ask something to google assistant (gemini now), not every command works, the ones to open default apps like youtube etc. works, if i ask it to open nuvio or any 3rd party app it doesn't work (it says google assistant is having problems processing your request).
Another thing i noticed is i can't use the google home app anymore, the one you control lights with, and even asking gemini it says it cannot control my lights (things that i could do before).
These are not major problem, i still like my tv much more now, love the work that has been done for this, just wondering if there are any fixes for these things

Glad it helped, @Trevi205, and thanks for the clear report. Both of these most likely come from the same place. To make the new launcher Home, the cleanup switches off Google TV's own home app (com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx), and some Google features run through it:

• The Assistant (now Gemini) shows many of its results in launcherx's own screen, so with launcherx off some requests fail with "having problems processing your request", while plain ones like "open YouTube" still work.
• The Google Home panel for your lights lives in com.google.android.apps.tv.dreamx and loads your account through launcherx, so it stops working when either one is off.

Both are written up in https://github.com/Gathin23/cleanyourtv/blob/main/docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#working-on-the-tv

The fix is to turn those two back on (TV_HOST=<tv ip> tools/tv.py 'pm enable com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx', and the same for dreamx) and keep CleanYourTV in front with the stock_home_redirect setting (installed with HOME_KEY_SERVICE=1), which sends Google TV's home screen straight on to the new launcher. A TCL Q7C owner runs exactly that setup: https://github.com/Gathin23/cleanyourtv/blob/main/examples/tcl-q7c-google-tv/README.md#working-alternative-google-tv-handles-the-app-buttons
If you cleaned it with a phone app rather than a computer, tell us which one.
