Would You Choose ART?
Benefits of ART-
More Free RAM
Less CPU load
Longer Battery
Lesser app launch times
Smooth scrolling
And probably more
Demerits of ART -
No support for Xposed framework
Cannot report Bug reports
Still in development and unstable
And more :/
I have been using ART for a few days and I have experience longer boot up times, but smoother scrolling is definite not placebo IMO.
Don't know about the launch times. But reducing the animation scaling, makes it feel like the device is flying
So am I missing out on anything else other than Xposed?

going to stay with dalvik only untill they add support for Xposed on ART too
Dalvik
A multitude of apps are still incompatible with ART. Plus, no Xposed. That's a deal breaker. RAM is not a problem. I get about 450 MB of 1 GB (Pacman ROM).
Quick Question
I just use the following xposed modules:
Tinted Status Bar(Not using it in Mokee)
Greenify(Boost Mode)
AcDisplay
DeepSleep Battery Saver
Which ones do you guys use?
i really want to use ART but i don't want to miss xposed,so i'm sticking with Dalvik until Xposed is working with ART.

Sorry guys but I no longer favor ART
I started facing android is upgrading on every reboot
If u are facing the same issue then I would recommend to use dalvik.

So I guess it's now dalvik and xposed

As far as cr-droid is concerned.
I have never used it. But the features list looks quite good.
I just jumped from Mokee to PAC MAN
And baunthiyal also uses PAC MAN
The main reason I use it because it offers more free RAM.
As I said disable some apps
Try installing memory usage app and disable or uninstall the ones u don't use

Works PERFECT on my Nexus 4 running 4.4 PSX v2 ROM Should work on ANY ROM.
Found this app while browsing in personalization category in playsore, both apps are FREE and they're really smooth, customizable and cristal clear, I saw many people trying to port other devices lockscreens to the Nexus 4 but failed, download it while you can before Google take it down from the play store
Don't forget to press thanks if this helped you in any way, thanks in advance!
Note 12/22/13: In order to remove the lockscreen delay move this app from user app to system app, it'll still have a little delay if you lock and unlock too fast (1 second lock)
You can move an user app to system with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.galaxy
Note: This app asked me for root and I granted it, I don't know if it can be used without root.
All credits goes to the developer of this application andev888.
To Moderators: If this isn't the correct section or this isn't allowed to be posted feel free to move/remove the thread.
why its so important to hit thanks button?
Why not just share to make people happy?
btw, LG Optimus G worked like a charm ( asked root permission )
I was hoping it had the crystal effect which really kick a**
But a nice lockscreen indeed.
Tested and works on Purity 4.4.2 too.
I search LG Otimus lockscreen long time, THANKS :good:

I was wondering if developers in XDA will be able to port those lockscreens into default lockscreens in their ROMs, or maybe they could look at the apk and figure how to make more lockscreens with other effects, like Xperia Z and so on(?)
If the music controls worked then I would've used it probably.

Custom wallpaper is being used currently on my N4
While in background these apps use ~25 Mb memory. While unlocking it goes up to 60Mb which I think is quite obvious. Not a big thing to worry about as those other devices out there use way to much than this. Also there are no music controls idk if those are provided with OEM devices or not. But good thing is, we still have expandable status bar while in lock screen and can be used to control music.
Edit : One problem seems to be that we cannot use kill all button in recents menu, it kills the custom lock screen process.

For a single reason : this is NOT Active Display (means screen always on; with only a few pixels lighten up to display time, only exist for AMOLED screens), AcDisplay by AChep, does not keep the screen on at any time, only when notification comes or when you press a button [or using proximity sensor]

Basically cut almost 1gb from stock firmware as the stock firmware is around 1.8gb. Took rmarinellas 1gb rom and cut it down to 731mb with his permission.
