ATV Launcher’s latest update brings big home screen upgrades for your Android TV
Version 0.1.41 rolls out custom row layouts, inline widgets, a modular status bar, and refreshed tile designs.
ATV Launcher has just released version 0.1.41, bringing significant improvements to the home screen experience on Android TV devices. The update introduces a new feature called "Arrangements," which offers users 10 pre-set row layouts to choose from. Additionally, users can now place widgets directly inside app rows through a tile context menu.
The developer has also upgraded the Configure Tile dialog, now featuring live previews of the changes. New folder preview styles have been added to enhance the visual organization of apps and widgets. ATV Launcher has implemented edge-to-edge Watch Next cards, providing users with an immersive way to preview upcoming content.
To further customize the user experience, ATV Launcher introduces a separate free companion app with 15 clock styles. Users can now personalize their status bar, choosing between floating or fixed placements, toggleable icons, and different pill styles. The update also enables direct switching between TV input sources.
With Android TV often dominated by ad-heavy and recommendation-bloated interfaces, ATV Launcher provides a viable alternative for users seeking a more streamlined and customizable experience. This update marks the continuation of ATV Launcher's momentum since the previous 0.1.40 release, which introduced a new layout editor.
