A native launcher with your installed apps, your inputs and Continue Watching on one fast screen. No ads, no web views, and Google TV is never removed.
Written in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose for Android TV, with real apps, real inputs and nothing invented.
Hold OK or press Menu to favourite, reorder, hide or manage an app. Full-size TV banners, with names only where an app needs them.
A visual Inputs page with a card for every port and a light that shows its state, opened with the TV’s own native switching.
Shared Continue and Next entries from the official Android TV provider, after you consent. Private histories stay inside their apps, and missing progress is never faked.
Focus is always white, the selected page always accent. Up and Down cross rows by what you see; Back always takes you somewhere sensible.
Full motion with a spring lift and frosted glass, a gentler Reduced mode, or Off. Tuned to keep frames smooth on an everyday TV.
Preferences are kept with backup copies and rebuilt automatically if the TV loses its settings file at power-off.
On the TV, enable Wireless debugging (Android 11+) or ADB debugging.
Use adb install, or the included Install-HoidesTV.ps1, which also installs the start-up profile so the launcher opens fast.
Try it from the apps list first. Make it your Home only when you’re happy with it.
Developed and tested on a TCL Google TV running Android 14.
No. Google TV stays installed and can be your Home again at any time from Settings › Startup & recovery.
No. Hoides TV doesn’t change other apps. For ad and tracker domains across the TV, see Hoides Filter.
Hoides TV installs as a new app beside it. Set it up, then run Install-HoidesTV.ps1 -RemoveOld (or uninstall NEURO TV from Settings › Apps) to remove the old one.
Try it alongside Google TV. Nothing changes until you decide.
