46 <h4>Power Reorganization and Additions</h4></a>
47 <p>The previously singular Power page has been reorganized into a
48 <strong><a href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/power/index.html">Power
49 </a></strong> section that has gained <strong><a
50 href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/power/values.html#values">example values</a></strong> for
51 <code>camera.avg</code> and <code>camera.flashlight</code>.</p>

54 <h4>AddressSanitizer and Native Debugging Instructions</h4></a>
55 <p>The <strong><a
56 href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/debug/asan.html">AddressSanitizer</a></strong>
57 tool for detecting memory bugs in native Android code is documented for the
58 first time in a dedicated page. Similarly, the main <strong><a
59 href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/debug/index.html">Debugging</a></strong> page now contains
60 instructions for debuggerd, GDB, and Valgrind.</p>
61
62<a href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/config/index.html">
63 <h4>Dedicated Debugging and Configuration sections</h4></a>
64 <p>The former Debugging and Tuning section has been split into separate
65 <strong><a
66 href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/debug/index.html">Debugging</a></strong> and
67 <strong><a
68 href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/config/index.html">Configuration</a></strong>
69 sections to better differentiate between setup and testing steps with the
70 previous Performance Tuning renamed <strong><a
71 href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/config/renderer.html">OpenGLRenderer</a></strong>.</p>
72
73<a href="{@docRoot}devices/tech/dalvik/configure.html">

75 <p><strong><a

78 particular module or package and provides an example for
79 doing so.</p>
80
81<a href="{@docRoot}source/initializing.html">
82 <h4>USB Access Rules File Improvements</h4></a>
83 <p>The contents of the <strong><a
84 href="{@docRoot}source/51-android.rules">51-android.rules</a></strong>
85 file needed to configure USB access has been moved from being inline on
86 <strong><a
87 href="{@docRoot}source/initializing.html#configuring-usb-access">Establishing
88 a Build Environment</a></strong> to being a downloadable file accompanied by an
89 example command to update it programmatically.</p>

92 <h4>Google Feedback Integration</h4></a>

94 Feedback</strong> button in the footer so partners and the open source community may
95 directly convey their desired improvements to this site.</p>
