I encountered a problem when using the TV and the projector. The desktop of the system was too cumbersome, especially for the elderly. So I wondered if I could customize the desktop of the TV and projector myself? I found a desktop software that easily solved this problem, and that is Emotn UI.

Emotn UI is a desktop system software designed for Android devices, you can customize your desktop. It runs smoothly, occupies little resources, and no advertisements. It is suitable for large-screen TV devices such as projection, TV, and box. With Emotn UI, you can customize the TV home screen easily.

How do I customize my Firestick home screen? Generally, there are four steps to set up Emotn UI as the default UI of Firestick as follows.
  • Install Emotn Store on Fire TV
