The 4.4 KitKat release includes the results of “Project Svelte”: a set of tweaks to the operating system to make it run more easily on devices with around 512 MiB RAM. In this talk I will be going through the process of creating a "small" footprint Android device and analysing the final result.

I will be talking a look at the internal workings of the Android graphics stack from the Application layer down through the stack to pixels on the screen, with practical examples throughout.
