The bundled launcher

Come home to a front row, not a billboard.

0TV Home gives your apps large banners and a clear focus ring. Flat and quiet in 1.1.1 - and it keeps working without the phone.

Large banners. One clear focus ring across the front row, nothing shouting.
Flat and quiet. The 1.1 redesign carries through the whole launcher.
Independent. Once installed, 0TV Home keeps working without the phone.
Settings inside. The launcher carries its own settings, one button away.
Playful underneath. Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right cracks the screen; repeat to undo. Render-tested, not tried on a physical remote.

Six steps. The phone app installs the launcher on the TV.

Keep the app installed so recovery history survives.

The complete guide, on GitHub

What you need

An Android 8 or newer phone
A TV with Developer options
Phone and TV on one home network
The APK from the releases page

01
Download and open the APK on Android 8 or newer; allow "Install unknown apps" if asked.
02
Prepare the TV. Turn on Developer options and ADB or Wireless debugging.
03
Share one network. Phone and TV on the same home network; no guest networks.
04
Connect and approve. Accept the prompt on the TV; Wireless debugging needs its pairing code.
05
Review and tidy. Wait for the backup, then switch off what you don't want.
06
Choose 0TV Home. From the hub, pick Home screen, then 0TV Home.

Optional tools, off by default

Each is a separate, explicit choice.

Block ads

Points the TV's Private DNS at AdGuard (Android 9 or newer); off restores the saved setting.

Queries go to a third party; YouTube in-video ads stay.

AdGuard or custom DoT · Android 9+ · reversible

J10TV

Installs the open-source JioTV Go app from its GitHub releases, verified first.

You sign in with your Jio account.

App2TV

Plain answers

The limits first, in the same size type.

What does 0TV check?

It reads the TV's real DNS setting and resolves names first. A review pass flags apps that returned after a TV update - not proven on every device.

Can I undo every change?

No. Restore uses recorded backups; permanently deleted app data cannot be recovered.

What leaves my network?

Local ADB only; optional tools call out when chosen. The site itself runs no analytics.

Does it work on a Fire TV?

Partially. Android TV and Google TV are the main targets, Fire TV support is partial, and Tizen and webOS TVs are not supported.

What does it cost?

Nothing. 0TV is free and open source under GPL-3.0; individual components keep their own licences.
