In an Android distribution, there are more than 150 external community projects (the “external” folder) that are used to address key software and tools requirements for Android mobile. These projects are common for both Android and other Linux distributions and are generically maintained by not depending directly on any SOC specific hardware accelerator feature. The Android user experience also depends on some of these projects, for example: SQLite. At Linaro we have analyzed these external projects and are in the process of improving few of these projects for better performance on Android mobile. We would like to leverage this opportunity to meet with the Android community and review our analysis, discuss more new possibilities, share experiences and finally find a common forum where we could discuss these issues further and try to find portable solutions and upstream.
