Studiopengchujin/aerial-tv: A tvOS-Style Launcher for Chinese Android TVs
Original title: pengchujin/aerial-tv: 给国产电视的一块干净桌面：参照 tvOS 设计的开源 Android TV 桌面，没有广告，开机自动接管。A tvOS-style launcher for Xiaomi, TCL and other China-market TVs.
The new GitHub repository pengchujin/aerial-tv offers an open-source, ad-free Android TV launcher designed in the style of tvOS for Xiaomi, TCL, and other domestic TVs. Built with Kotlin and supporting Android TV 5.0+, it gained 608 stars in its first day. The launcher automatically takes over at boot and features an app grid, control center, and Apple TV-style aerial screensavers (114 clips). It requires no root access or system app uninstallation; installation can be done via a one-click script or AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor using ADB, with restoration commands provided.
The original post details the rootless installation process and the desktop guardian mechanism, allowing readers to easily replace the ad-heavy default launchers on their domestic TVs.
