I was looking into a couple of Android tombstones files of an old Samsung phone running Marshmallow. Found a crash in every single one with the same culprit,
dex2oat
.
From my limited understanding it is a Compiler that takes arguments from Android Runtime and convert dex
files to Android optimised ones in oat
format.
I ran into the same issue even if I factory reset or freezing a lot of apps. I have this device rooted and decided to take a risky step. I backed up first and deleted dex2oat
from /system/bin
. Then I rebooted system with risk of bricking it.
So far it is working fine.
Due my lack of understanding I don't know how crucial is this dex2oat
to system stability and I want to know what is the impact on it.
