Adds Middle-earth TV to "Home screens built as their own app" (at the bottom of the section) and to the OnePlus line of the brand index.

What it is: a fan-made Lord of the Rings home screen built as its own app, a page in a full-screen WebView. Bag End at dusk with your apps as lanterns on the garden fence, their logos in the lanterns' gold: the one you pick lights up and Gandalf's moth flies over and circles it, fireflies drift over the garden, and opening it sets off Gandalf's firework over the hill. Below it: the beacons of Gondor on the White Mountains, one for each film in story order (The Hobbit's three, then The Lord of the Rings'), lit as far as the film you pick; and Mordor, where Mount Doom smokes and the Eye's beam sweeps to The Rings of Power or The War of the Rohirrim, pushing the ash aside as it passes.

A standalone theme, not just an APK: the repo has the APK and a full-resolution assets zip on its release, GUIDE.md (install, make it Home, customise, troubleshooting, every prompt used for the pictures, the full build brief, rebuilding), and PROMPT.md, which has a coding assistant ask what you watch and where, set it up, build it and install it.

Works outside India too: a Customise panel (Up at Bag End) picks up to six of the TV's own apps and HDMI inputs, and where the films and series open: in India each title straight in the app that streams it (Prime Video, JioHotstar or Netflix; the links are included), the TV's own search, or any picked app's search.

Made with this repo: the same TV, debloated with PROMPT.md, as Hogwarts TV; built as a separate app.

Tested on: OnePlus TV C00 ("Cebu"), Android TV 10, MediaTek m7632, 1.8 GB, 1080p, measured on the real TV: about 60 fps in all three sections, while moving between them and during the openings (the Eye's flare 55 to 60). Everything that moves is drawn with WebGL, since this TV's WebView draws its 2D canvas on the CPU. Checked on the set with its remote: the Customise panel with the TV's own apps and HDMI inputs, four apps on the middle lanterns with one shown by its name, Gandalf's firework opening an app, a Hobbit film opening through its Prime Video link (it lands on the film's page once Prime's profile picker is passed) and The War of the Rohirrim through Netflix.

Permissions and network: none. The manifest asks for no permissions (no internet, no accessibility service, nothing at boot). It lists the installed apps and HDMI inputs for the Customise panel, and opens titles through the chosen app's links or search, or the TV's search. Choices stay on the TV.

Licence: MIT for the code (LICENSE in the repo). The pictures are fan art; the app logos belong to their owners, as the README says.

maintainer-bot review · this one needs a maintainer decision · Leans: merge (72%)

Thanks for Middle-earth TV, and for the guide and setup prompt that let others rebuild it. It fits SHOWCASE well and can go in as a one-line row; the project count is updated once for the whole batch, so the count edits aren't needed.

Why it goes to a maintainer: likely a duplicate of #3528 (a near-identical title; 100% of the same added lines; same files: README.pt-BR.md).
The bot's own suggestion would be: merge with a small fix.

Checks

• Note: possibly collides with SHOWCASE: add Four for Samsung Q70T #3462, SHOWCASE: add Glass settings drawer fork (Google TV Streamer 4K) #3468, SHOWCASE: add Number keys to Live TV (cetrulin fork, Xiaomi MiTV-MSSP3, Android TV 9) #3481, SHOWCASE: add Wolf Games, a Moonlight game shelf add-on (TCL Smart TV Pro, Google TV 14) #3483, Showcase: photo-frame Home fork with Immich and Plex (Sony XR-55A80J) #3484, SHOWCASE: Limpia mi TV, live TV preview and grid categories for TCL BeyondTV #3498, Add CleanFrame Manager for Samsung Tizen TVs #3500, SHOWCASE: add Star Wars TV, a Star Wars home screen (OnePlus TV, Android TV 10) #3528 (the same lines of README.pt-BR.md; whichever merges second needs a rebase)
• Note: likely duplicate of SHOWCASE: add Star Wars TV, a Star Wars home screen (OnePlus TV, Android TV 10) #3528 (a near-identical title; 100% of the same added lines; same files: README.pt-BR.md)
• Size: size/S (+5 -4, 3 files)

This is a suggestion; a maintainer makes the final call. A maintainer can comment /bot review to run it again.

Thanks @ikevinadams, Middle-earth TV gets one SHOWCASE row and a OnePlus index link, marked unofficial and fan-made, with a pinned screenshot, a repo link rather than an APK and no permissions asked.
