Offer force-dex-opt when running as root.
Recently we removed the PackageManager inotify triggers, meaning the only supported ways of installing apps were: -- adb install -r Foo.apk -- adb shell stop && adb sync && adb shell start Iterating on most system apps (like Settings) can use the first approach, but it doesn't work for "persistent" processes like SystemUI. (ActivityManager is very particular about how it deals with persistent apps, and it always sticks with the first ApplicationInfo found at boot.) So to enable rapid iteration on persistent apps, we now offer the one missing piece of forcing a dexopt with a new pm force-dex-opt command only available to -eng or -userdebug builds. Typical use for iterating on persistent apps now looks like this: $ mmm frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/ && adb sync && adb shell pm force-dex-opt com.android.systemui && adb shell kill `pid systemui` Yay!
