Yep, client certs installed on a device with verified boot and an account authenticated via 2FA would be a good start.

Thanks for caring to fix it! For what it's worth, I agree with pretty much the rest of your post. Too often I see people start to complain about "pre-mature optimization" but when you're trying to do something like hit a

Shared memory also means that any modifications are also shared, which is really not good in this case. We could mark the sections RO I suppose, but then we have them occasionally copying things out of the RO pages to modify them which ju

You're still missing the point that I actually rebutted: that Android's open source bits were mediocre and there exist FOSS components which are better. Regardless, nobody ships AOSP because everyone wants to differentiate their p

No, he said the open source components of Android were mediocre, uninteresting and selected over superior FOSS components. I listed a bunch of the open source components used by two companies who have no problems with using FOSS component

Thanks for at least attempting to contribute! If you'll point me towards the patches, or at least the bad docs, is be happy to help get them fixed.

But they didn't intend to build a J2ME platform, but rather a shim for J2ME apps via some compatibility mode. From some of the original Google documentation: > "Leverage Java for its existing base of developers. Build a useful
