APKs need to be zipaligned, I don't see that mentioned.

  Fun fact, having page-aligned uncompressed .so files in the APK allows the dynamic linker to mmap them directly out of the ZIP.

    Ooh, with btrfs you could reflink an uncompressed zip entry to its own file on disk.

  This. The APK number looks impressive if you don't know some files are uncompressed on purpose: https://developer.android.com/tools/zipalign https://developer.android.com/tools/zipalign There's also no mention that this likely breaks signatures? https://developer.android.com/tools/apksigner https://developer.android.com/tools/apksigner The weird thing is that they say they worked on Signal ... so, what's going on?
