Developer Optimizes Android Smart TV Using Claude Code
Senior AI engineer Mert Cobanov accelerated his four-year-old Android television without needing root access using the Claude Code tool.
Mert Cobanov, a senior AI engineer at Refik Anadol Studio, optimized his four-year-old Android smart TV using Claude Code software via ADB, enabling the device to exceed its out-of-the-box performance.
Performance Boost on Android TV
Senior AI engineer Mert Cobanov announced on social media that he increased his smart TV's speed and set up a website so other users could perform the same optimizations.
Process Without Requiring Root Access
Cobanov stated that by opening developer options and telling the Claude software to connect to the television via ADB, the tool began controlling the television without requiring root access.
During the process, unnecessary applications were disabled, FLauncher was installed, and animation durations were shortened.
Reversible Optimization Process
While a four-step process is explained on the project's webpage, it is noted that no disabled items are permanently deleted and the AI agent keeps a list of the disabled items.
