Hisense VIDAA Clean Home

Native app dock, custom home screen and animated wallpapers

Replace the sponsored Hisense VIDAA home screen with a local, native app dock.
Keep your real installed apps, HDMI inputs and TV settings. Long-press OK to
reorder favorites or remove them from the home screen. Add your own animated
wallpapers and video screensavers.

Example from the reference project. The screenshot is a design preview, not a
live screen capture. Its custom icon pack and wallpaper video are not bundled.
The default build uses the TV's cached icons or text tiles.

Give this to Claude Code or Codex

Give the repository link to Codex or Claude Code with a request to set it up for
your own TV. The agent should begin the local checks automatically. If it only
summarizes the link, paste this explicit instruction:

Set up https://github.com/nineodernein/hisense-vidaa-clean-home for my own TV. Follow AGENT-START.md and MASTERPROMPT.md, run the offline checks now, verify compatibility and recovery, and keep all backups private. Ask only for genuinely missing information or new permissions. Do not touch other devices.

The agent entry point tells the agent what to execute and how to
handle each result. The masterprompt supplies the detailed
procedure. With Python 3.10+ and Node 18+ already available, the first command is:

python3 agent.py start --json

It checks the project, runs offline simulations and prepares blank private files.
It does not contact a TV or install software. The agent then collects missing
device evidence, prepares verified backups and a private build for review.
Use an agent with terminal access on your own computer; a remote web chat usually
cannot reach your TV. This is an
agent-assisted recipe with source code, not a universal one-click jailbreak.
A matching firmware and an authorized maintenance channel are prerequisites for
the native route. No promise of “a few minutes” on every model.

What you get

• A native VIDAA home component, not a browser page reopened by a watcher.
• A horizontal app dock with soft edge fades and visible remote-control focus.
• Long OK: move a favorite or remove its tile. This does not uninstall the app.
• App Store pinned at the right, where supported by the model's app inventory.
• Apps, inputs and TV settings; normal up/down navigation in the input grid.
• Local MP4 wallpaper playback using the TV's native media player.
• A shared media catalog for background/saver selection; see status below.
• An optional, TV-scoped DNS ad-blocking guide.
• Libraries.dev Liquid Metal design attribution.
  The TV uses pre-rendered metal-fx frames instead of running React/WebGL.

Tested honestly

Does this work on every VIDAA TV? No. VIDAA is also used on selected Toshiba,
Loewe/We. by Loewe, MEDION and other TVs, but using the same OS is not proof that
this native modification works. Check the sourced brand/model directory
and the project's actual test status separately. Other Hisense
sets can run Google TV, Roku TV or Fire TV instead.

The original integration was verified on one MTK9602 / VIDAA U9 / P0930 device.
Native Home → app → Home, favorite editing, input navigation, a looping local
video and the manual Rainy-style saver/return from Home were confirmed.
The precise profile and original-file hashes are included.

This public package has been generalized and tested offline. It has not been
installed as a new build on the reference TV. Shared on-screen media selection
was prepared and tested offline; it is not a confirmed deployed feature.
The ten-minute Home idle test is still open. A custom saver over paused
Netflix is not implemented. Do not claim otherwise or read Netflix memory.

Does this debloat VIDAA or make every app ad-free?

It cleans the home interface and offers selective DNS filtering. It does not
remove VIDAA, uninstall every preinstalled package, replace the TV operating
system, or remove ads served inside YouTube/Netflix/other streaming content.
DNS filtering is not a complete privacy guarantee. ACR and microphone settings
are separate from launcher customization.

Download, inspect, recover

Use Code → Download ZIP, extract it, then read START-HERE.md.
The tools do not install dependencies, gain root, change DNS, or contact a TV
when you download or build. build.mjs refuses unknown original module hashes.
OEM bundles and device backups stay in .private/ and must never be published.

Read recovery, privacy, security and
credits/licenses before a native trial.
For supported-model reports, use CONTRIBUTING.md.

Why this exists

VIDAA's stock home screen can be noisy, slow and difficult to personalize.
This project records the path from a browser workaround to a native component
inside the existing home engine, so another coding agent can start with the
working architecture instead of repeating the same dead ends.

Built on alvidaa, its native platform
adapter and the Free My TV design lineage. Independent community project;
