What Is an Android TV Client?

An Android TV client is optimized for televisions and remote controls. SmartTube is the most popular ad-free YouTube option on Android TV and Fire TV sticks.

TV vs mobile patched apps

TV clients do not use ReVanced Manager’s mobile patching flow. SmartTube updates independently, supports SponsorBlock, and targets lean-back navigation with D-pad focus.

When to choose TV clients

Pick a dedicated TV client for set-top boxes and smart TVs. Use ReVanced on phones and tablets when you need the official YouTube UI with patches.

Before you install

Always download patchers, GmsCore, and APK bases from official project pages or trusted mirrors listed in our safety guides. Mismatched versions are the most common cause of playback and login failures after setup.
