Entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction in Android
The Android bug seems to explain that this was a bug in Android <= Gingerbread:<p><a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265" rel="nofollow">https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42265</a><p>A comment by Elliott Hughes on the bug:<p>"i don't know why you think this is anything to do with dalvik (or libcore). neither touches /dev/random. java.util.Random is just a PRNG seeded from the clock. java.util.SecureRandom uses /dev/urandom.<p>"what version of Android are you reporting this against? i think there was a bug once upon a time. <checks> oh, yeah, <= gingerbread was broken. > gingerbread should be fine."
