Caution

Do not use the "Make BSfreeTV Home" feature while on this version on Google TV.
On Google TV devices (Chromecast with Google TV, Google TV Streamer, Google TV TVs)
it disables Google TV's own launcher, which makes the device restart in a loop.
Fixed in v0.2.1: the Home switch is now only offered on classic Android TV
(such as the NVIDIA Shield) and refuses to run on Google TV.

Affected?

If your Google TV still responds to adb, these commands restore the stock launcher:

adb shell pm enable com.google.android.tvlauncher
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx
adb shell cmd package set-home-activity com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx

On a device that no longer boots far enough for adb, a factory reset from the
recovery menu may be the only way back. We're sorry: this was a bug in BSfreeTV,
not something you did wrong.

On the NVIDIA Shield, v0.2.0 works as intended, but updating to v0.2.1 is still
recommended.

Thanks to the users who reported this and worked out the recovery steps.
