Getting started
From the project's README ("Installation"):
- You must root your TV following the instructions provided: https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io
- Setup SSH access using instructions provided by the rootmytv project. I recommend setting up SSH key access.
- Plug in a USB storage device. I formatted mine with NTFS via the prompt on the television. This will likely work on a preformatted NTFS drive.
- Copy war-webos-ad-remover from this repo onto your USB stick.
- SSH into your TV. The script should be located at /tmp/usb/sda/sda1/. Execute it in place, this will allow you to test. If the home screen on your TV is already open it will close and your last active task will be shown. If something goes wrong, simply reboot.
- If all goes well and ads are removed, copy the script to /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/. The script will remove ads on boot.
Risk and recovery
- Brick risk
- Medium
- Requires opening the device
- No
From the project's README ("WAR - WebOS Ad Removal (Version 1.00)"):
Removes ads from WebOS home screen
WARNING! This script is provided with no warranty, use at your own risk. I have done the best I can to ensure the changes are safe and that they are not permanent. To neutralize this script, simply remove the USB and reboot the TV.
This is the first release of this script, as such it is considered to be a testing release. Currently I am only removing the AI recommendations and the Trending section. There are more sections beneath the App list that I have had success in removing.
Compatibility I have tested this on an LG OLED C1 65 inch television with WebOS version: webOS TV 6.2.1 This may work on earlier versions, and it is assumed to be safe to try as the files are checksummed before they are modified. Let me know if it works on your device.
