This Month A year ago struck Deal just completed,Google has been touting the new Android 4.4 as making “an amazing Android experience available for everybody.”,Google has acquired FlexyCore in a deal valued at $23 Million in a move to accelerate efforts to optimize the Android platform to not only run smoother, but better as well. FlexyCore produced an Android accelerator called droidBooster that claimed to improve performance by a factor of ten. This was achieved by optimizing ARM binaries at build-time. Apparently the results were impressive enough that Google decided they wanted that knowledge base in house noting that FlexyCore’s “strong expertise in building software to optimize Android device performance” would fit in nicely at Google.
It is possible some of FlexyCore’s work has already made its way into the Android ecosystem, which is why Google thinks they can bring KitKat’s improvements to more devices compared to previous releases.
