I have a Shield pro 2017 that is running really slow with a bunch of issues. The 9.0 update (ads on home screen one) killed performance and now it’s slowly been getting worse. I was thinking of just reformatting but have been looking into debloat it as well ( https://florisse.nl/shield/). Anyone have any other tweaks they’ve done on these? I just use it as a client for Plex and YouTube mainly.
I found this amazing tool to remotely debloat any Android phone or box. I used this one to remove the google launcher full of ads and crap and install a very clean and beautiful call projectivity launcher.

Can you confirm works well with shield?
I own the shield and I have done it and it works just perfect.
Reformat, install Flauncher, and run the adb commands to disable the default launcher. My 2019 pro was getting slow and formatting it fixed it. It’s running 9.0 but I haven’t really had any issues with it after replacing the launcher.
I use sideload launcher 3 on my shield pro and it’s super simple and no frills but fast and does what I need. I did kind of miss the recently played automatic bookmarks that I think you can only get on default launcher (correct me if wrong!) so I left default on my other shield. Recently it has been more gunky so I’m planning to install another launcher. May try projectivity.
I flashed LineageOS in it and works like a charm!!
What about certified apps such as Netflix and Prime Video?
To be honest with you I don’t use such apps. I either stream from Kodi - Elementum plugin any shows or movies i want, or download my stuff.
