Astra built a custom launcher that boots a Samsung projector in 1 second

Pranav gave Opus 5.5 the task of speeding up a laggy Samsung Freestyle projector. After Opus refused, Astra built a custom launcher, disabled unnecessary apps, and boot time dropped to 1 second.

I did not realize you could do this over ADB. Samsung has SDB (similar to adb), works over Wifi.

I have a Samsung Freestyle projector that I use quite often. It has always been painfully slow, and I assumed it was the hardware.

Gave Opus 5.5 the task of speeding it up, but it refused, citing cybersecurity concerns and downgraded to 4.8, and it still refused.

Tried Astra instead. It could not remove the bloatware, so it built a custom launcher, replaced the default one, and disabled a bunch of unnecessary apps.

Now the entire thing boots up in 1 second. 🤯
