Aerial offers Agent-based automatic deployment to replace the TV's default launcher

Aerial is a tool that can replace the default launcher on Chinese smart TVs without root, and its deployment is completed automatically with the help of an Agent. According to an October 22, 2026 report by Huxiu, users connect the TV and computer to the same WiFi, enable ADB and find the TV's IP address, then copy the prompt from the Aerial official website and hand it to an Agent such as Doubao or WorkBuddy to execute; they only need to allow USB debugging in the pop-up on the TV, and the whole process takes about five minutes. The tool uses a "launcher guard" to cover the original launcher when it is woken up, and leverages Android notification listening to revive within 0.5 seconds after standby cleanup, so home-screen ads disappear, but boot ads still cannot be blocked. The report says that everything from the code and APK to the official website was produced through AI Vibe Coding; it gained more than 200 stars on GitHub within one day of launch, and subsequently added features such as icon hiding and adding signal input sources to the home page, and was adapted to multiple TV models.
