AI blogger @op7418 built on CleanFrame and cleanyourtv to ship guizang-tv, a minimalist Android launcher for Chinese Xiaomi TVs, now open-sourced under MIT. Highlights:
- Big-type left menu with direct entries: PS5 (HDMI 2), Apple TV (HDMI 1), Bilibili, Mi Cast, photos, and the stock launcher
- Wallpaper rotation (1/5/15/30 min) with fade transitions, pausing when you leave the launcher
- D-pad navigation with memory of last selection; no accounts, network permission, or accessibility service needed
- Five license-verified Unsplash wallpapers bundled; build with your own images if you like
Currently targeted at MiTV-MTSU0, not a universal Android TV launcher; APK available via Releases or ADB install.
