Muse Reverse-Engineered TV Firmware and Debloated via ADB
Input: TV firmware and network environment → Process: Muse analyzes firmware diffs, plans debloat, connects via Tailscale, disables packages via ADB → Output: Leaner system, fully reversible
- Who
- Users with Android debugging and networking experience
- You get
- Disabled 10 pre-installed packages and killed background junk, all reversible
- You need
- Muse · Tailscale · ADB
Constraints
Prerequisites: ADB debugging enabled on TV; same network or Tailscale mesh; firmware download source available. Risk: modifying system packages may cause device instability; backup recommended.
What they did
User @Chatsalll used the Muse agent to address bloat on their smart TV. Muse downloaded the last two firmware versions, reverse-engineered and compared them to identify changes, developed a debloat plan, connected to the TV using Tailscale, disabled 10 packages via ADB, and killed other background junk processes.
How it went
The author reported successful completion: 10 packages were disabled, background junk processes were cleared, and everything was fully reversible (author_report). No specific performance metrics or timing were provided.
Worth knowing
The author noted 'Prompt in the image', but the original image was not OCR'd and the actual prompt content is unknown. The source text contains the grammatical form 'reverse engineered it to compared' as written. Tailscale and ADB require prior network and debugging setup; firmware acquisition methods vary by TV model; disabling system packages carries bricking risk—always preserve rollback capability.
Steps
Fetch and analyze firmware
Download the last two firmware versions for the TV, use Muse to reverse-engineer and compare differences, identify changed system packages, and develop a debloat plan.
Connect to TV via Tailscale
Install Tailscale on both the TV and the control device, log in with the same account, and establish a virtual LAN so ADB commands can reach the TV.
Disable bloat packages via ADB
Connect to the TV over ADB and run pm disable-user or pm uninstall -k --user 0 to disable the 10 target packages. Record package names for rollback.
Clean up and verify reversibility
Kill unnecessary background processes, verify system stability. Keep original firmware and package name list so all disabled packages can be re-enabled or recovered by flashing.
Prompt you can copy

This block is the prompt. Ads are never placed here.
No prompt needed — just follow the steps.
No copyable prompt for this case; execution relies on ADB commands and Muse autonomous operation.
