You built a beautiful Jetpack Compose UI... but it’s kinda laggy. The animations stutter, scrolling feels off, and you’re not sure where it all went wrong. In this talk, I’ll walk through how I hunt down these performance issues in real apps using tools like JankStats, Layout Inspector, and system tracing. I’ll show you how Compose actually renders under the hood, what triggers unnecessary recompositions, and how to spot the real culprits behind dropped frames. No fluff—just real examples, profiling tips, and practical fixes you can apply to your own project. Whether you're working on a side project or a production app, you’ll walk away with a better sense of how to keep things running at 60 FPS (or as close as we mortals can get).

Open-source frameworks are increasingly shaping the Android ecosystem, offering alternative solutions to Google’s standard libraries. This session will examine the practical benefits and trade-offs of adopting open-source frameworks at scale, addressing key gaps they fill and how they influence architectural decisions in mobile teams. What is the current industry balance between open-source frameworks and standard Android libraries? What challenges do state-machine architectures like Circuit, Workflow, and Appyx solve for mobile orgs? How do open-source frameworks impact long-term maintainability, scalability, and team onboarding? What are the key architectural bottlenecks in Android development today, and how do these frameworks address them? What organizational investment is required to adopt, maintain, or contribute to open-source frameworks?
