[Q] Why are people running ART? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Browsing across the forums, it seems there are quiet a few devoted ART users...in a nut shell, why?
Am I missing out on anything enjoying Xposed and the Dalvik run time?
I've read up about ART -v- Dalvik, from what I understood, ART is still in developmental stages, not fully perfected and not always best in performance.
I tried it on my M8 when it was stock, my Quadrant score dropped by 10k, and I couldn't see much of a difference so just ran Dalvik ever since.

Why does anyone ever tinker? Curiosity. Experimentation. Herd mentality.
Personally I'll just wait for a time when Google start using it full time.

In no rush myself, tried it and couldn't really see any difference excellent xposed framework wouldn't work and that's a must

I use ART, it started after just tinkering. Generally, iirc, apps aren't native to the Android system, so the dalvik runtime exists to compile them to work when you open the app. ART compiles it from the first boot, and saves it that way to prevent extra cpu usage each time you boot up the app. I generally get very good battery life, and although it may very well be placebo or 0.1ms difference, the phones responsiveness to opening apps seems smoother. Always worth giving it a shot and seeing if it sticks with you as well.

Crazy High Dialer Sensor Use

Hi,
I'm running Deck's ROM 1.2.1 and Tiamat 4.0.6 on my phone. I used Unrevoked 3 to root. I've been noticing very high sensor use by the Dialer and my direct dial shortcuts dial the last number I called, regardless of which one I try.
I did a 3x wipe and Nandroid backup so I can always restore. I have Amon's Recovery.
The Android System sensor usage is low. Dialer usage reads for however long I've had my phone unplugged. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I tried that, too, and it still happens. I will try fixing them again and it that doesn't work I'll try another fresh flash after wiping.
Thanks for the suggestions! You guys are great!

Did you check out the thread on "wake issue?" There has been lots of discussion, but more importantly there is replacement phone apk's that either properly release the locks or don't use the sensors at all. Seems you could before from it.

Any app like uber music?

I don't know how many 2010-11 android users we have(it seems like we got hella n00bs lately- no offense), do you guys remember federico? Launcher pro creator (he was rewriting the app), he made uber music, which looks great and a lot like windows phone metro ui, fede hasn't make any updates since last year, almost a year from now, idk where he is and I don't think people do, so I guess his apps are still there but not updates, so I was wondering if there is any app the does the same with music control on notifications an extra features

Never looked into CM7. Did they just stop supporting it?

Long story short...this dev kangd cm7, stopped halfway thru, got a windows phone but kept telling peeps he was working on this rom. Happened with a couple other items like kernels also. Started something great, then moved on right away. ADD maybe?

So is it a working ROM? Looking at the thread it had everything but 4g

Mostly yes.....give it a whirl, see if it works for you. I had it installed before.....think I got rid of it due to battery life though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I'm definitely loving it the battery life seems to be good. Everything works perfect except for 4 g. And that's definitely not an issue for me since I have no 4 g in my area.

by the way in case anybody wants to know the launcher that I'm using is called holo launcher. It's just like apex and Nova. But you can use it on gingerbread. Ya know I just wish we had more options for EL29 roms and gingerbread roms like this. It runs sooooo smoooth. It would be awsome if a dev picked this up and finished it! I dont think it has a lot left to do either. Refine the kernel for better battery life and add some cyanogen settings that are missing. I wish I could dev.

Halo for the inc?

Now that Halo has been made open source... Can we expect it on a dinc ROM? Please??

Expect it to run laggy as anything. The dinc can barely handle android 4.2.2. Throw on halo and you have a performance nightmare. I'd say it can be done but it's a horrible idea. Overlaying apps on top of others on an old device can't be a good thing for performance. Zach would probably add it to his roms knowing him.

Oh, well I use my dinc as an mp3 player and messenger... So I just need a couple apps so the ram doesn't slow it down... I was using ur ROM for a while and it is super quick... Faster than my galaxy nexus... Just wanted to try out halo to switch back between music and messaging...

The app in the play store doesn't do much on its own. It needs the framework commits to be even worthwhile. I think the app extends features from the open source part:

Zach has a build up with halo it runs surprisingly well. Not at all glitchy.

What is this little "eye" icon for?

Can anyone tell me what this little icon means? It doesn't have a corresponding item in the notification area.
Is it related to that feature that keeps the screen on when you're looking at it, maybe? Screen shot attached..
Thanks,

That's the smart eye feature built in with the phone on stock or the ROM you are using.. Basically if you're looking at your phone, it will stay on as long as you are looking at it and thus you will see the "eye".
If you want a further explanation let me know. That's pretty much the simplest easiest way to explain it.

One more question.. Any idea what impact the Smart Eye feature has on battery life? My battery life sucks since the 4.3 update so looking for any way to make it better. Do you think turning this feature off would help?

Turning it off could help a little bit. I found that ever since I have gone up to a 4.3+ ROM, my battery life has been atrocious.

Only in so far as not having your screen helps save battery.
Get better battery stats and check your Wake locks and deep sleep time
