CleanFrame: A quieter home screen for Samsung The Frame
A developer has released 'CleanFrame,' an open-source, minimalist home screen interface for Samsung The Frame TVs. The project aims to provide a cleaner, less cluttered user experience by replacing the default smart TV interface.
Why it matters
This highlights the growing trend of users customizing proprietary smart TV software to improve usability and aesthetics through open-source modifications.
A quieter home screen for Samsung The Frame. Your apps, a photograph and the time, with an interface made for the TV remote.
I built CleanFrame for one TV: my own Samsung The Frame, running Tizen. I'm sharing the code and setup notes as a starting point for other people to build on.
Use it at your own risk. Most of the work has gone into making it work well on my TV. Very little has gone into making it portable. The setup scripts reflect my computer, TV and firmware, so expect to adapt them and test the result on your own hardware.
