Partial The home screen UI is web-style and vibe-codeable, and the installer is scripts. But it depends on rooting webOS 4.5 TVs, undocumented system internals, and reverse-engineered LG launcher behavior, which need specialist knowledge.
What it would actually take: The build is a webOS app with HTML/JS UI, a Homebrew Channel-based installer, and a launcher replacement that hides system apps and manages memory. The hard part is understanding and safely modifying LG's undocumented system services and root protections. That takes reverse-engineering skills and testing across TV firmware versions.
