Developer uses Claude Code to mod a Xiaomi TV; the CleanYourTV open-source project gets about 13,700 stars
Developer Gathin used Claude Code to connect to a Xiaomi TV over Wi-Fi, disabled 25 system components and rewrote a minimalist launcher, then open-sourced the prompts, launcher source code and troubleshooting notes as CleanYourTV, which gained about 13,700 stars within days. Another YouTuber, Ansub Khan, tested the TV Detox project and found it raised the TV's available memory from about 370MB to 600–650MB. The article notes that such tools can only clean system-level preinstalled packages and the official launcher, and cannot remove mid-roll ads or promotional pop-ups inside streaming apps, and mentions that the camera community is also using AI to restore hidden firmware features.
