We looking for a skilled freelancer to port the Android Runtime (ART) from to Android 4.3. Ideally, it should be the version of Android 7 or newer, but any version from 4.4 and on would be fine.
Skills and experience required: - Strong knowledge of Android development (AOSP) - Experience with porting and compatibility issues - Familiarity with Android 4.3 and its limitations - Familiarity with ART and DalvikVM - Proficiency in Java and C++ - Ability to work with AOSP and utilize available resources from the internet
The expected behavior is the one as in Android 4.4: an option in the developer options to switch between ART and Dalvik and if ART is selected then it should be used for all apps as runtime.
The actual version of ART to use will be up to the developer (the newer, the better).
The output of the project will be the code diff to apply on top of AOSP 4.3 (JSS15R Android-4.3_R2.3).
The project will be verified by applying the patch, running the emulator and testing Antutu Benchmark: with ART the performance shown by the benchmark must be at least 10% better
