Help & FAQs

Getting started
What is Liquid Launcher TV?

Liquid Launcher TV is a fast, minimal, TV‑first launcher for Android TV and Google TV. It focuses on smooth remote navigation, a clutter‑free home screen, and deep customization — without ads or tracking.

How do I navigate the home screen?

Use LEFT and RIGHT to move between apps in a row. Press UP or DOWN to move between Continue Watching, the dock, and your app grid. Press OK / ENTER to launch the focused app.

What is Continue Watching?

Continue Watching is a full-screen carousel of what to watch next, gathered from your installed streaming apps, so you don't have to dig through each app to find where you left off.

Can I hide Continue Watching?

Yes. Go to Settings → Appearance and turn off Continue Watching under Display.

Managing apps
How do I reorder or move an app?

Focus an app, hold OK / ENTER to open its options, then choose Move App. Use the D‑pad to reposition it and press OK again to place it.

How do I hide an app?

Focus the app, open its options, and choose Hide App. Hidden apps can be brought back any time from the App Manager in Settings.

Can I change the home screen layout?

The layout is fixed — Continue Watching at the top, your dock of favourites, then the app grid. You control what goes where: reorder apps into the dock, and hide anything you don't want on the home screen.

Customization
How do I set a custom or video wallpaper?

Go to Settings → Pick Wallpaper for a custom image, or Pick Video Wallpaper for a live video background. Both are Pro features.

Are gradient backgrounds free?

Yes. Built‑in gradient backgrounds and themes are available on Free. Custom image and video wallpapers require Pro.

How do I change an app's icon?

Focus the app, open its options, and choose Change Icon to swap in any image you like, or apply a full icon pack such as Pix Material Expressive or Projectivy Icons. This is a Pro feature.

What does App Icon Border do?

It adds a white outline around the focused app icon to make focus easier to see from a distance. Toggle it in Settings.

What is Ambient Mode?

Ambient Mode turns your screensaver into a calm, cinematic backdrop with rotating wallpapers, while the current weather, time, and date stay subtly on display. It requires Screensaver to be enabled and is a Pro feature.

How do I switch between 12‑hour and 24‑hour clock?

Go to Settings and turn on 24‑Hour Clock to switch the display, or leave it off for 12‑hour time.

How does the screensaver work?

After a short period of inactivity, the screensaver takes over the screen. Press any key to exit instantly and return to your home screen.

Pricing
What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Free includes the core launcher, app reordering and hiding, Watch Next, themes and gradient backgrounds, and the screensaver. Pro is a one‑time purchase that additionally unlocks custom and video wallpapers, icon packs, custom app icons, and Ambient Mode.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pro is a single lifetime purchase — pay once and keep every Pro feature for good.
