Prepare your apps for Google Play's 16 KB page size compatibility requirement

So, <i>do</i> 4 KB page size apps work on these 16 KB page size phones? There are plenty of legacy apps (especially games I&#x27;d imagine) that will never updated for one reason or another. I would want to know if I was buying a phone that won&#x27;t support those...

I&#x27;m wondering if it will not make the apps overall memory usage explode a little bit more by having a lot of objects bound to a single page with more empty space unused inside most pages for common cases.

This makes it now 4x more expensive to catch memory issues by having guard pages around...

Why is camera start so much quicker due to the larger page size - seems a surprising (nice) benefit.

Letting userspace know the page size was IMO a design mistake.<p>Imagine a world where the page size is secret to userspace. Anything that needs page size alignment will be chosen by the kernel.<p>That in turn allows mixed page size, variable page size, heirarchical pages, etc.
