Android w/JIT

Apparently all that is is Dalvik with JIT. No I don't know what that is, but I know you can get it from the android repositories. Any one willing to give it a try?

from the speed difference that the video demonstrated on engadget I will think paul will look into if it was possible to implement into his custom roms because it will definitely speed up the apps making it an even more faster rom

send him a message to see what his views are about it and whether he has any interest in implementing it

I think it's going to be a thing much the same as senseui or Swype, so manufacturers would be able to say 'Our phone is Dalvik Turbo enabled'. Because of this, I reckon it would be illegal for unsupported phones to have it added (much like how swype links have been removed - Swype is only distributed with the MyTouch3G in America.

I would try it - just for research - if somebody could give me the link where to download it.

If thats really illegal, just ignore this.

I would imagine that if Paul chooses to try to implement dalvik-turbo in his ROMs that he would just duplicate functionality, and not just copy the code (which probably wouldn't be legal). This is similar to how things like pandahome provide some of the features of SenseUI, without actually ripping off the code.

When its on the Android Open Source Project, doesn't this mean were allowed to copy and use this code?

In short: I'm not sure.

Long version: I looked up the license for just plain dalvik - it's apache 2.0. So people can create derivative works with commercial uses, and they don't have to re-distribute the source code. I'm not sure if we'll see the source for dalvik-turbo..

using jit in a rom is not illegal

here, have a look at this, this may help

It's been done on the G1, so you never know :D

Some more interesting things.

The fact remains that it's still the Sense UI that everyone wants, not PandaHome. This is most likely a lot more complicated than Panda Home (which is pretty much an app that mimics the homescreen), this is a reimplementation of the whole Dalvik virtual machine (from what I've been reading), which is a lot larger and more complicated. For example, the source of Dalvik (no graphics, all text) is around 58MB, a large amount for a few coders to put together.

No, since this would not be part of the AOSP, it would be a proprietary add-on, like Sense. Because Android is licensed under the Apache License, I can distribute binaries without being forced to distribute my source.
