Myriad has, as many know, developed a way to make the java in Android run 3 times faster.
It is said that it will make the engine faster without hurting the performance and battery.
Does anyone have any idea if an update will implement the new Dalvik into the Nexus One?,
has anyone any confirmation?
Discussion about
Nexus to get new Dalvik engine?
I heard this as well, in fact I heard that there is two, one within Google and one that is developed outside of Google. The one dev'd by Google is partially in AOSP so there is a chance that it could migrate its way in Android by 2.5 which should be out by october. They are sticking to a close release schedule and 1.6 came out last october.
if you are referring to Dalvik Turbo, it is developed by a 3rd party who is trying to sell the engine to the likes of HTC or even Verizon directly. It would have to be built into the handset as the ROM has to be compiled with it. There is no way you could get this from an OTA update. This also wouldn't help the nexus one too much as it mostly speeds cpu rendering of graphics, and the nexus one has a dedicated GPU, unlike the G1 or myTouch.
This is true, although Google is working on improvements to the Dalvik which they say rival Dalvik turbo. I believe there are parts of the new Dalvik already in the AOSP build it is just not full or compiled yet.
