Hey everyone, I’ve opened a feature request to push Google to support 16 KB page sizes as a standard option (or at least one that doesn't require a permanently unlocked bootloader).

Why you should care (The Benefits): Switching to 16 KB page sizes offers a significant, "free" performance boost. We are talking about faster app launch times, smoother overall system performance, and better power efficiency (battery life) just by changing how the memory is managed. The hardware in our phones already supports it, and most major apps have already been updated to handle it.

The Problem: Right now, Google treats this strictly as a "Developer Option." To use it, you are forced to unlock your bootloader. This wipes your data. It breaks Play Integrity (meaning no Google Wallet, banking apps, etc.). You cannot lock the bootloader again while using it.

Google currently has no plans to enable this by default for existing devices. Essentially, we are leaving performance on the table for no reason.

Please star/upvote the issue below if you want this enabled properly so we can get the speed boost without sacrificing security or banking apps:

From the support team, I asked about my limits in PRO account.
