Dalvik Optimization by LycanTweaks

These configurations related to the Dalvik runtime and AOT compiler are used to optimize Android system performance. Some of the key configurations include setting DEX files to optimize for speed, enabling the AOT compiler to precompile apps, adjusting heap memory settings, and using multiple CPU threads for compilation. Together, these options work to improve app startup times and overall system efficiency.

These configurations and options are related to the Dalvik runtime environment and

Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler in Android, and they are used to optimize system
performance.

1. `dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags: speed`:

This configuration indicates that the DEX files should be optimized for improved
execution speed. Optimizing DEX files involves transforming the application's
source code into a more efficient format for execution in the Dalvik environment.

2. `dalvik.vm.jniopts: critical`:

This configuration sets critical performance options for Java Native Interface
(JNI) operations. JNI allows Android applications to access native libraries and
functions written in languages like C or C++. By setting this option to "critical,"
performance is prioritized for these operations.

3. `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-X: true` and `dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-X: true`:

These configurations indicate that the AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compiler should be used
to optimize DEX files and generate precompiled images. The AOT compiler converts
bytecode into native machine code before execution, which accelerates app startup
time and improves overall system performance.

4. `dalvik.vm.checkjni: false`:

This configuration disables additional JNI verification during application


execution. JNI verification ensures that calls between Java code and native code
are performed correctly. Disabling this verification can improve performance but
increases the risk of errors if JNI code is not implemented correctly.

5. `dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only: true`:

This configuration indicates that only the data in DEX files should be optimized,
not the executable code. Optimizing only the data can reduce optimization time and
improve performance.

6. `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter: speed`:

This configuration indicates that a speed filter should be used during the
compilation and optimization process. The speed filter selects the most critical
parts of the code for optimization, which can further improve performance.

7. `dalvik.vm.profilebootclasspath: false`:

This configuration disables the generation of application startup time profiles.


The startup time profile is used to optimize app loading time. Disabling it can
improve initial system performance, although it may affect the optimization of app
startup time.

8. `dalvik.vm.heapstartsize: 16m` and `dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization: 0.75`:

These configurations define the initial size and target utilization of the Dalvik
virtual machine's heap memory. The heap memory is where objects and data are stored
at runtime. Adjusting these configurations can help optimize performance and
efficient memory usage.

9. `dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=quicken: true`:
This configuration indicates that a quick optimization should be used during the
dexopt process. Quick optimization aims to perform basic optimizations without
investing too much time in compilation.

10. `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-threads-string: 8` and `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-threads-max-


string: 8`:

These configurations define the number of threads used during the compilation and
optimization process. Using multiple threads can speed up the process on devices
with multiple CPU cores.

11. `dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode: true`:

This configuration enables bytecode verification during application execution.


Bytecode verification ensures that the code is safe and compliant with Java
specifications but may impact performance.

12. `dalvik.vm.usejit: true`:

This configuration enables Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation at runtime. JIT compiles


bytecode into native machine code at runtime to improve performance. However, this
configuration is available in older versions of Android and has been replaced by
the AOT compiler in recent versions.

13. `dalvik.vm.dexopt-secondary: true`:

This configuration indicates that a secondary

optimization of DEX files should be performed. The secondary optimization is


carried out after the initial optimization and can further improve performance.

14. `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-filter-bisection: true`:

This configuration enables filter bisection during the compilation and optimization
process. Filter bisection divides the code into smaller sections for optimization,
which can improve efficiency and performance.

15. `dalvik.vm.appimageformat: lz4`:

This configuration defines the compression format used for precompiled images
generated by the AOT compiler. In this case, the lz4 compression format is used,
which is fast and efficient.

16. `dalvik.vm.image-dex2oat-filter-speed-profile: true` and `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-


filter=speed-profile: true`:

These configurations indicate that the speed filter should be used in conjunction
with performance profiling during the compilation and optimization process.
Performance profiling allows the AOT compiler to optimize code based on observed
behavior during execution.

17. `dalvik.vm.dex2oat-reason: speed`:

This configuration indicates that the system is being optimized for higher
execution speed.

These configurations and options can be adjusted according to specific needs and
device characteristics to achieve optimal performance on Android.
These configurations are optimized for better performance.
