The purchase of companies by companies such as Google it is common and often not of great importance to users. However, the purchase of FlexyCore is. They are the developers of the application droid booster, whose goal is to improve the speed of Android, and could have already been working on 4.4 Android KitKat.
Specifically, the company has cost Google about 23 million dollars, an amount that is not too remarkable for those in Mountain View. FlexyCore was specialized in optimizing the Android kernel, with the aim of making the operating system run faster and smoother. And it seems that they were getting the performance of the smartphone to improve significantly, even more than what Google was doing. Hence, the American company has chosen to acquire this company and that they go on to work directly with the Android development team.
The conversations for the purchase of FlexyCore began a year ago, and that would be the reason why the application droid booster it would have disappeared from the app store. However, if the company had been in discussions with FlexyCore for so long, the team was probably already working on improving the new version of Android, so it is possible that 4.4 Android KitKat already include the own improvements of DroidBooster, with a faster and more fluid system. Everything is based on how the Java code in which all Android applications are written runs. Although the use of this language has made Android can be installed on a huge variety of smartphones, it also has a problem and that is that it can never be as fast as executing code in a language processed at a lower level. Keep in mind that Android practically has to translate the code in Java, a kind of emulation, which is what slows down the system. Although today the process has been optimized, before it was much more remarkable, and a more important improvement is expected thanks to FlexyCore, especially in the most basic range smartphones. Be that as it may, we will still have to wait to see if Android 4.4 KitKat incorporates some important improvements regarding the operation of the system and the fluidity of the interface.
