Key points
- CleanFrame offers a custom home screen for Samsung The Frame TVs.

Custom Home Screen for Samsung The Frame
A developer has released CleanFrame, a custom home screen designed for Samsung The Frame televisions operating on the Tizen platform. This alternative interface aims to provide a quieter, more streamlined user experience, focusing on essential elements like applications, a personal photograph, and the current time.
Open-Source Project for Community Development
CleanFrame is an open-source project, with its code and setup instructions shared publicly. This allows other developers to use it as a foundation for their own modifications and adaptations. The creator notes that the initial development focused on their specific TV model, so users should expect to adapt the setup for their own hardware and firmware configurations.
Key Features and Customization
The custom home screen offers various customization options, including a choice between List or Dock layouts for apps, with options for icons, names, or both. Users can select a photograph or a light/dark background, adjust typography, and modify focus and glass materials through a dedicated settings interface. It also allows users to choose and reorder home applications, discover installed TV apps, and select from fifteen wallpapers.
Technical Requirements and Usage
To run a browser preview of CleanFrame, users need Node.js 22+ and Python 3.10+. The project repository can be cloned from GitHub, and a local development server can be started to view the interface. While the browser preview allows interaction with the interface, app launches and Samsung-specific screens require a connected TV. The developer emphasizes caution for native Home/startup changes, providing guidance on risks and recovery steps.
