Redex: an Android bytecode optimizer developed by Facebook

I&#x27;m happy that FB is releasing these tools. I really am, but you know what I want? I want to use the FB app with out it DESTROYING my phone&#x27;s usability. Anytime FB is installed on any of my devices, the device degrades day after day until the phone is virtually unusable. Next step: Uninstall Facebook. Phone is usable again. I only use Nexus devices with a lot of space on them, so ... it&#x27;s not like I&#x27;m using a cheap burner.<p>Unfortunately, due to this problem, I&#x27;ve been using the FB mobile website for a very long time. Every 3-6 months I&#x27;ll re-install the FB Android app in hopes that things are better, only to be let down once again.<p>Something tells me that all this bit flipping that FB is doing is not making things better, but worse. Sure, it may be better for the FB app, but worse for the device general. This is just my speculation at this point though ...

It&#x27;s honestly pretty difficult to believe that any kind of optimization has taken place on the Facebook app. I don&#x27;t have the time or the bandwidth to keep up with the updates

I am assuming the facebook app doesn&#x27;t use this?

Debugging a crash report from an app with both proguard and redex sounds like it would be a nightmare.

How does this compare to ProGuard?

How can I integrate Redex with gradle building?

On my Nexus 4 facebook app takes ages (a few minutes) to update&#x2F;install. I wonder if Redex &quot;optimization&quot; is the reason for that.
