    If you’re going through all that work, try an alternate launcher.

      What launcher do you recommend? I’ve been using Flauncher as it’s the only decent FOSS one I’ve found, but it’s pretty barebones.

        Not the guy you asked, but I use Projectivy Launcher. It’s not FOSS, but it does a decent job of putting a suggestions/up next feed on the homescreen and is fairly customizable.

          I just got this and it is amazing I love that you can create ‘channels’ for your apps

          being able to select from my subscriptions via SmartTube, or my media categories in Jellyfin, or whatever I want!

          The original homescreen was cluttered with essentially advertisements, this is way cleaner

        For FOSS it’s Flauncher for me. I haven’t tried any others, I like Flauncher because i could put big simple app icons on the screen.

      Yeah, this doesn’t seem to provide anything a better launcher + Pi-hole don’t already provide. At least on mobile, the ad blockers help when I’m away from home and not going through the Pi-hole for DNS queries…but my tv doesn’t leave the house much.
