Android operating system has become one of the most popular smartphone platforms. A large number of applications are developed for the operating system. Monitoring application behaviors with practical execution requires severely long time. Thus, reducing monitoring time is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a method for decreasing this time by accelerating the speed of time flow in Linux kernels in smartphones and server computers. The acceleration is achieved by modifying the management implementation in the kernel. We evaluate our method using application systems which are composed of Android smartphone and Linux server. Then, we demonstrate that the proposed method can shorten monitoring twice suitably.
