I wanna piggyback onto this comment to say that you can change the home launcher on a Chromecast With Google TV (And some other Android TV boxes) by downloading another launcher first (I use FLauncher) and disabling the default home launcher.

1.Download FLauncher first

2.Enable USB debugging

3.ADB into your TV’s IP from a computer

4.adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherx

This will disable the original launcher

5.adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tungsten.setupwraith

This will disable the service that re-enables the launcher

This will cause the home button on the remote to fall back to whatever other home app is installed. No button remapping needed. It will also break the YouTube button, but not the Netflix button.
