Samsung TV

English first · Bahasa Melayu beside it

A quiet evening, on the television.

Inspired by the clean glass of Apple TV. Your apps rest on a clear shelf. The weather is one press away, and in Malaysia the next JAKIM prayer time sits beside it. No ads. No sponsored rows. Samsung's own home screen stays where it is.

What it does

Glass, solat, and a way back.

01

Glass

A full-screen photo, a clock, and a shelf of the apps you actually open. Classic stays available if you want the older look.

Nothing is uninstalled.

02

Solat

When a JAKIM zone is set, the next prayer and the time left show next to the weather. The widget can be turned off.

03

Yours to leave

Samsung's own home screen stays. Autorun Last App, under Start Screen Options, makes the TV turn on into this one. Delete the app when you want it gone.
