LGGlassUI v1.2.0 — A simpler way home
A simpler way home
LGGlassUI brings a quiet, glass-inspired Home screen to compatible LG webOS TVs: nine native app shortcuts, TV Settings and a personal photo frame, without dashboard ads or analytics.
Install in three steps
- Download LGGlassUI-v1.2.0-setup.zip below and extract it.
- Open a terminal inside the extracted folder and run
node setup.cjs. - Enter your TV address, SSH port/private-key path and optional greeting names.
Prerequisites: an already rooted webOSbrew TV, working root SSH, and Node.js 22+ plus OpenSSH on your computer. No Git, npm install or LG CLI needed. Rooting is separate from this installer.
Setup installs the dashboard and local photo service first. After checking them on your TV, you can opt into Home-button and native startup integration using the installation guide. The original LG Home stays available for recovery.
What's included
- Guided install and update, release integrity checks and unique per-TV photo keys.
- Optional “Good morning/afternoon/evening, …” greetings stored in private settings.
- Existing photographs, photo key, recovery backups and Home/startup settings preserved during updates.
- Setup, troubleshooting, compatibility and recovery documentation.
| Asset | Purpose |
|---|---|
| LGGlassUI-v1.2.0-setup.zip | Recommended: wizard, prebuilt app and local services |
| com.paulbuttle.glasshome_1.2.0_all.ipk | Generic app only, for experienced users with an existing installer |
| SHA256SUMS.txt | SHA-256 integrity hashes for both downloads |
The public assets contain no device address, household name or private photo-access key. Setup writes your settings to your own TV. GitHub's automatic “Source code” archives require the LG CLI to build; choose the setup ZIP for the simpler path.
Verified scope
Tested on LG CX / OLED65CX5LB, firmware 04.64.00, webOS SDK 5.6.2. A fresh computer extraction successfully updated the existing TV installation, including optional native integration; photos and the photo key were preserved. The installed TV UI was checked, and 28 automated tests passed.
A completely fresh TV installation, other TV models/firmware and a Windows setup run remain unverified. Full Home/startup integration is firmware-specific. The dashboard does not remove advertising inside streaming services.
