Allow me to go out on a limb and say that I don't like this trade off. This was one of the fundamental innovations of Android to conserve memory and accelerate application launch times. 200ms is a long time.
I respect this project and I've installed it on devices for friends, but even when I used it I did not take advantage of this feature.
"Very noticeable on lower-end" devices is definitely true. Default GrapheneOS has really slow app start times on my Pixel 4a. It even made me switch to CalyxOS for a while, befiore I found out I could disable this security feature.
Pixel 4a? To be fair, you're not the current target audience of GrapheneOS since your device is "end-of-life, no longer receive firmware or driver security updates and receive extended support from GrapheneOS via a legacy branch based on Android 13 with only the Android Open Source Project security backports, certain other security patches and other minimal changes to keep them working." And it's been that way for 4ish months.
Yup, very sad. Awesome (but true, too weak for GrapheneOS) phone. I am still trying to find a damn usb-c DAC that works well and with analog headphones... as if that wasnt something EVERY phone supported before Google just removed it.
Also the selfie camera is worse!https://tux.social/@Rhababerbarbar/111755782091599768
Apple's 9 dollar dongle works pretty well for me. It's actually really good for the price.
Where do you get that?
