The full story

The maker liked the stock Android TV launcher but not the growing ads, so built a mix of the Android TV and Google TV launchers with help from Claude. It adds customisation and can show mobile apps.

It is written in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, using standard AndroidX packages plus Coil for loading images. It was not on the Play Store at the time, and the maker was looking for testers.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
