Hell, all of Android is far, far slower than it should be. I won't move to iOS but what Apple can do with a dual core phone is pretty amazing (and yes, I know that newer OS builds get slower).
- CaptSpify 9y agoI really wish android came with better tools to let you know what is bogging down the machine. If only they hadn't gutted the linux part of it, we could have much better tools at our fingertips.... Does anyone know of a good process-viewer/resource watcher for android?
- AstralStorm 9y agoGoogle killed all of the outside tooling by messing with their own variant of IntelliJ and build system. (Especially the latter. Eclipse plugin for gradle w/ android support is hopelessly incomplete, killing eclim which was the one reasonable code completion software.) Apparently writing an IntelliJ plugin of a reasonable quality is much harder than a Python or other script. Who would have thought. And a glorified text editor takes GBs of RAM, likewise a glorified Makefile. (The resource watcher is built into Android Studio, but ignores GPU memory. To do that you have to run GPU debugger, a separate memory hog.)
