Linaro improves the performance of Android 4.0.4 up to 100%

Android not exactly the wonder of the Resource OptimizationTo deny it would be to delude yourself. Google It is working seriously to make it a notable improvement in each version of Android, a hard job, but it could be easier with a joint project that is not very promising. We are talking about Linaro.

If we take a look inside the majority of Android gadgets that we have on the market, we will almost always find processors based on ARM architectures. It is and has been the predominant platform on mobile devices thanks to its power-consumption ratio. As a result of this apparent union between free software and ARM architectures, Linaro was born, a foundation created by companies such as Samsung, IBM or Texas Instruments, which is in charge of researching and trying to improve the integration of open-source operating systems with processors. ARM

In the video they have made about this, we see how two plates with similar hardware to the Motorola Razr give very different results. One of them incorporates base Android, as Google launches and the other plate incorporates a version of base Android modified by Linaro. The numbers speak for themselves.

This type of code is going to be implemented by chefs like Cyanogen in their ROMs seeing the good results they get. A lethal combination, Cyanogenmod that is already one of the most famous ROMs along with this implemented code that will improve its performance even more.

But from that we draw a conclusion and that is that Android is not as used as it could be, something that Google must correct. Remember that Froyo was a brutal change in overall performance and this was preceded by Eclair, which introduced a much more beautiful interface. Doesn't it remind you of anything? Now we have ICS that has a great interface but its performance can still be improved so who knows if Jelly Bean will act like Froyo, further improving performance instead of incorporating new functions.
