Made for a TV, not a phone stretched across one. The important things are one remote press away, and every card can make room for what matters to you.
▦
Your apps, your order
Arrange the dock with your remote. Open the all-apps grid with Down, ranked by what you use, with 5, 6 or 7 apps per row. Hold OK to add, move or remove an app.
◷
Time, date & prayer
A clear clock, Hijri date, five daily prayer times and a next-prayer countdown. Your JAKIM zone is found from the TV's location, or choose any of the 60; optional azan and early reminders appear over other apps.
☀
Weather that feels alive
Malaysia forecasts and warnings for the town nearest your TV, temperature and feels-like, measured air pollution and a second air-quality view. Rain, mist, lightning and haze briefly play on the home screen, then settle.
♫
Now Playing
See title, artist, art and playback controls when audio is playing. Your most-used apps card takes its place when the music stops.
◉
Know your TV
CPU clock, RAM, storage, uptime, Wi-Fi and debugging at a glance. The running-apps view shows what’s active and lets you close or hide apps.
⇄
See where your TV connects
Optional Net traffic monitor: which app reached which server and country, with the server’s name, protocol and data used—drawn as routes on the Globe. A local VPN on the TV itself: nothing is sent anywhere, nothing decrypted, history kept 30 minutes in memory.
✦
Quietly personal
Bing’s daily photo, seven built-in wallpapers or your own. Choose which cards show, dim the wallpaper, set your clock and tune notifications—all in the TV’s Settings.
◎
Button Mapper New
Give any remote button a new single, double or long press: open an app, Android or TV Home settings, the screen saver, sleep, the power menu, a screenshot, mute or volume. Press the button to add it. Works with USB debugging off; the arrows and OK stay as they are.
↗
Useful shortcuts
Hold OK on the Settings gear to start the screen saver, set a sleep timer, sleep, restart or shut down (restart and shut down ask first). An Inputs menu for HDMI, AV and Live TV; a bell for launcher and Play Store updates, devices and low memory; connection alerts; and an optional info bar over apps.
About two-thirds of the visible Globe in daylight, captured on the TV. Layers can be switched individually. View full screenshot ↗
02 / The world in motion
Earth, as it is right now.
Watch Earth in its real orientation and sunlight. Follow the Maghrib and Fajr lines, Makkah and your qibla, city lights, sun glint, aurora, earthquakes, live map edits and the actual orbits of the ISS, Tiangong and Hubble.

Internet routes
Choose a 2-minute camera orbit or real-time Earth rotation; turn the view with your remote. Sky catalogues and some other layers download when first used, then stay available offline. Dim moving visuals help protect against burn-in.
Open RFHN TV Launcher’s local address in your phone’s browser and pair with a PIN on the TV. Swipe to navigate, type, control media and volume, manage apps and the dock, change settings, send a message or link, and move files to and from the TV.
On the same Wi-Fi, open http://<TV IP>:8486. Some controls need USB debugging; the basic remote and other features keep working when it’s off. Keep this local service on a trusted network.

Built to be lived with
The details matter.
Live connection status and over-app banners when Wi-Fi changes.
Home-screen focus and your dock order remembered across restarts.
Usage-based app ordering, with a weekly Most used card you can customize.
Clock format, prayer zone, location, alerts and cards changed directly on the TV.
Wallpaper previews, your own photos, and weather effects that stop animating when settled.
Optional over-app network speed, uptime, clock and elapsed-time display.
Globe layers fetch live data only when the screen saver runs; cached data works offline.
Update notifications on the TV, plus a setup app that can undo its changes.
The cross-platform terminal setup app finds your TV, explains every change before making it and checks that Home still works afterward.
1
Get the setup app
Pick the build for your computer—or run it in Termux on an Android phone. Unpack and open tvhome-tui. On desktop it can offer to download Android Platform Tools for you.
2
Connect your TV
Use the same local network. Enable USB or Wireless debugging on the TV, then let the app find it or enter its address. Accept the TV’s pairing/authorization prompt.
3
Choose what changes
Install / Update changes the launcher only. Set up my TV also offers cleanup and privacy options. Review the exact plan, confirm, and press Home. Undo is built in.
The terminal setup app: choose with arrow keys and Enter, or use a mouse. View full screenshot ↗
Choose your download
On the latest release, expand Assets and match the filename below. When the release information loads, these become direct download links; otherwise they open the release page. The version changes with each release; the files still use their original tvhome-tui name.

On a phone, install Termux from F-Droid or GitHub first, then run pkg install android-tools. Windows may show an unsigned-app warning. The step-by-step setup guide covers each platform.
Want only the ready-made APK? It’s on the same release page. The setup app is recommended because it also handles permissions and the Home button.
After setup: choose “Turn off USB debugging and quit” in the TUI when offered. Leaving network debugging on lets other people on your Wi-Fi control the TV. The launcher and basic phone remote continue to work with debugging off, though some advanced controls need it.
