I've enabled it on my Acer A500 running Thor's epic wip KitKat 4.4 briefly and didn't notice any difference Because of the warning message about possible data loss, I switched back to Dalvik. Where is that option on the Tab Pro? I don't see it in developer options.

I'm running ART. Seems same to me. I'm waiting on the new version called Fast ART which is supposed to really have some gas despite its unfortunate acronym.

Yes if I am not wrong there is an option in Sense's settings where you can switch from Dalvik to ART and vice versa
Im running ART without issue on mine

Thanks! GS5s on display don't have the option, so this is a HUGE selling point of the M8 if ART isn't in the consumer model.
I'll have to officially "thank" you tomorrow... I'm out of thanks for the day

Another way to reduce LAG on LG G3-D855

Guys...Found another way today to reduce the lag on G3...Now it feels like my phone is stable...Just try it...its working for me...
1. Go to "Developer Options" .....change the default Runtime "Dalvik" to "ART"
The phone should reboot and will take several minutes to optimize apps while its booting. If you find some apps that are not responding when they are opened, just uninstall and re-install them.
Google to know more about Dalvik & ART runtime.
2. Go to "Developer Options" .......Disable(OFF)all animations: Transition animation, Animation duration & Window animation.

This has been know to be done on the majority of devices that have kit Kat that can support ART. I don't understand what the deal with everyone trying to increase the speed of their G3. When I got mine it ran fine granted I rooted it but still it ran fine. Games didn't lag on High Quality and launcher didn't redraw or loss of frames. The benchmarks are merely synthetic and do not reflect the devices performance at all.
I recommend ART cause its faster when you start an app and it takes you one step closer to android L. Also the whole getting rid of animations is the closest thing to a placebo but granted it does feel snappier.
The LG G3 is a pretty tight phone and if you don't think its stable or fast then you must live a fast life style.
Cant run ART

Do you have xposed installed?
It feels strange to me to buy a 500$ device and disable all animations on it. It looks like android 2.x now or worse.
Better install firmware v10j and see how you declvice flies.

Xposed isn't compatible with ART. if you want to run ART, you will need to uninstall xposed

uninstall xposed, I am on the leaked 10j firmware(with some of my own tweaks) and art is blazing fast batterylife is +-6.5-7h of sot and 20-22 on battery time
So I'm a happy camper
Isn't there a beta xposed framework that works with ART somewhere?

nothing special just a leaked build on 10A-10G it was like 5 h and now it is amazing
The phone is smoother in art BUT with cpuspy the phone dont sleep as good then dalvik ...79% instead of 93%
I thought samsung was bad but lg is worse when it comes to lag. I don't think I will be buying anymore lg phones anytime soon.
Crap
Should be an easy fix on the software side because the hardware is the same as competition ..just hope for the best ..
Tested ART. Phone is butter smooth. But back to dalvik since i cant breath without xposed framework on lg g3. Since we dont have custom roms.
There is no butter smooth feeling. I have test all tweaks and roms and i can say no butter feeling on the g3.
Upset
Really upset with LG. with lock bootloaders we cant enjoy custom ROMs. Wasted money on LG.
i unstilled exposed and lg 3 tweak box and when phone restarts, its still under dalvik....

Dalvik and ART

Hey,
I am interested on changing the running time on my G3 to ART from Dalvik.
My Questions is:
Anyone did it and the device got better (battery, faster) ?
If I want to change back to Dalvik, there is no problem with this, right ?

I'm using ART and I can say that is really better. Apps open faster and my battery performance is better. Try it, you can go back to Dalvik with no problems.
how to do that ?

There is any problems at ART mode?

I don't believe Xposed works, so if you use that you'll have issues,
I'm running art as well and I find it slightly quicker, smoother and better battery. Changing back is as easy as going to art.

cannot activate ART

I want to try ART instead of Dalvik. When I follow the instructions to enable it, the last step wont work. I cannot find the option to enable ART. Do I need to change the kernel or something?

There is no ART for our device, unless you are using custom rom (AOSP), and we have none...

It's depend on the devices, some have ART hidden but I don't think our device has ART included.
EDIT: I'm not a fan of ART, since Google has a good reason not implement it yet because it's very unstable. I have tried ART on some of my phones, in theory it should boost performance and I see no performance gain whats so ever and it has a lot of issue. Many apps may not be compatible with ART run time. Highly recommend not to use ART.

Its there if you follow the link I posted. Yes ART is buggy but it depends on the device. I have checked and our device is able to switch for those interested

What device do you have and you said you checked and your device do have the 2 ART lib.so files - (libart.so, libart-compiler.so located in /system/lib)? We are talking about note 10.1 2014 here. People if you don't see the 2 ART lib files, meaning your device is NOT ART compatible, meaning no hidden ART for your device.
I tried Art on my older tablet from Huawei, with Aokp 4.4.2.
It was catastrophic. The Art cache is about three times bigger than Dalvik, which should not be a major issue on a device with 16GB. Compiling the binaries takes ten times longer. A speed increase during use was not noticeable. Many apps will hang up and slow down the system and draw extra power in the background. More fcs, too, but that is expectable.
The, afaik, newer f2fs file system is in contrary performing flawlessly on my mobile with CM11 4.4.4.

Yep...a lot of issue with ART, I have tried and never stay on ART for no more than a week. ART is not ready by Google, if we want ART, just wait until Android L release...

Nexus 5X Android 7 WIFI

Hello,
i had problems with my s5 mini with cyanogenmod 13 installed. I lost wifi connection in sleep. I was told that this was an android related problem. Is this problem still here in android 7? I am thinking about buying a nexus 5x and i don't want those problems again. I found out that this was a related problem to the wifi optimization option, which was removed.
Thanks,
MarcoBoy99
Never had that problem on a Nexus. I am on 7 for about a month now (including dev preview).

I don't recall ever having issues with it on my 5x, both on 6.0 and 7.0. It never seemed to have issues with downloads or anything with the screen off and with WiFi set on during sleep, so I never looked into it. Was your experience across multiple devices on 6.0 or just the S5 with CM? Just asking because I've noticed bugs and issues like that on just about every non-nexus device I've flashed non stock based ROMs to.

It is likely that it was a bug from the S5 Mini, the 5X doesn't have these WiFi issues.

Understood, but there's been a couple of people confirming this is not related to the Nexus 5X. And I can tell the same. So if you wanna this device, make sure to grab one

How about fastbooting factory image? It is available on here. When getting to the new Android version I prefer doing this as sometimes I have some leftovers making my phone going crappy.

Well, good question. There's plenty on there experiencing the same. But I don't have this either. Not sure how many of those people did the clean install. I know it is painful starting up from the scratch but to me it is always the only way how to see whether there was't sorta conflict from the previous version. I am not telling you go for it. All I am saying is that you might give it a go
