Is there a reason that this information isn't already collected?

This is really a great project. Since the latest API level is 24, and this project is still in 21, do you have any update plan. I can do some help to update this project, can you publish the new apk to Google Play?

The /proc/cpuinfo file in linux (cpuRaw information in the database) usually contains the "CPU implementer" and "CPU part" information. Using some simple rules, this information could be decoded into a human readable CPU micro-architecture name, such as Cortex-A5 / Cortex-A7 / Cortex-A8 / etc.

Moreover, the processors from ARM may have different revisions, typically denoted as rXpY (X - major, Y - minor revision), where X is stored in the "CPU variant" and Y is in "CPU revision".

For example, this database entry: http://www.androiddevice.info/submission/14084/show
could be decoded as "ARM Cortex-A8 r2p2" instead of "ARMv7 rev 2 (v7l)". The ISA revision, such as "ARMv7" could be also kept, but it is a little bit redundant (knowing the exact CPU type, we know which instructions it supports).

Here is one example of a script, which is doing such CPU information decoding - https://gist.github.com/dword1511/8262223

Downloading 800MB of uncompressed data is much less preferable to downloading a 16MB XZ file. Please offer compressed versions of the export data!

The website looks to be down for over a month now. Is there any chance this is coming back? This was a HUGE resource for myself and others.
