FOBB: TV Remote Button Mapper

The Faster, Privacy-First Way to Map Your TV Remote FOBB (Free Of Bloatware Buttons) silences accidental button presses on your Android TV remote — instantly, privately, and without slowing down your device. No subscriptions. No internet required. FOBB is designed specifically for Android TV users who value speed and simplicity. Why choose FOBB over other mappers? While other tools try to do everything, FOBB focuses on doing one thing perfectly: giving you control over your remote without the "bloat." 🚀 The FOBB Difference: • Zero Bloat: Unlike "all-in-one" mappers, FOBB is ultra-lightweight. It won't lag your interface or drain your system resources. • Core button disabling is 100% free, forever. Pro unlocks remapping to custom apps (one-time purchase). • Privacy-First: Many mappers request unnecessary permissions. FOBB requires no internet access, meaning your data never leaves your device. • TV-Native Design: Built from the ground up for the big screen. No awkward "mobile-first" menus that are hard to navigate with a remote. ✨ Key Functionality: • Disable Unwanted Shortcuts: Instantly silence those hard-coded app buttons that you press by accident. • Stop Accidental Launches: Keep your movie night uninterrupted. No more jumping into unwanted apps because of a misplaced thumb. • Minimal Setup: Be up and running in seconds, not minutes. 🔐 Transparency & Security • No Data Logging: We do not track what you type or what you watch. • Offline by Design: Since we don't use internet permissions, we cannot send your data anywhere. Compatibility: Perfect for NVIDIA Shield, Chromecast with Google TV, and Smart TVs. Experience the "set it and forget it" utility that restores your remote's intentionality. ⭐ Your Feedback Matters If you enjoy FOBB, please rate the app!

This is a technical requirement for hardware-level control. 🛠 Troubleshooting: Keep Accessibility Service Active If the Accessibility Service for FOBB keeps turning off after a TV restart or standby, please follow these steps: 1. Disable Energy Optimization (Basic) Prevent the system from "sleeping" the app to save power: • Go to Settings > Apps > Special app access > Energy optimization (or Battery optimization). • Find FOBB in the list and set it to "Don't optimize." • Note: Menu names may vary slightly by TV brand (Sony, TCL, Philips, etc.). 2. Force Auto-Start via ADB (Advanced) For some TV models, the system explicitly ignores auto-start requests. If you are comfortable using ADB (via a PC or tools like atvTools), run these commands to fix the flag: • Check current status: • • adb shell appops get net.easyjoin.fobb • If you see APP_AUTO_START: ignore, run this to allow it: • • adb shell appops set net.easyjoin.fobb APP_AUTO_START allow
