Thoughts and impressions if you did please.
Thanks in advance.

99% sure that Lollipop only runs on ART. It's my understanding that Dalvik is no more.

You may have noticed that it took your phone longer to boot than normal resets or updates. This is ART on boot. Thats all there will be for L.

Haha, just realized this and then checked my post. ART is already running! Thanks for the replies.
I was watching videos on ART last night and wasn't sure if it was automatically part of L.

ART enabled dirty flash

Just wondering if anyone can tell me whether its necessary to revert to dalvik before dirty flashing nightlies. I got stuck at boot when leaving ART enabled, so I've been switched to dalvik before flashing. Is this standard procedure? Its kind of a pain, didn't know if anyone was having luck leaving ART enabled. I'm running vanir btw. Thanks in advance.

I'm running vanir too. With ART enabled. The boot does take longer with ART. And after boot it will optimize apps which takes ages with ART. I'm flashing nightlys with ART enabled and no problems here. Just some patience friend

No problem here. It takes a bit longer than dalvik, but it's normal due to the difference between them.

Thanks a lot, that'll save me some time. I waited about 4 minutes which is how long it usually takes to originally enable ART and nothing was happening so I figured it was stuck. This was also many builds back. Thanks again guys.

Try a clean flash. I had that same issue. Then did a clean flash, switched to ART and everything was fine. Maybe let it boot for 15 minutes or so before doing this..

Flashed 1/31 nightly only wiping dalvik /cache with ART enabled and it started optimizing apps in 4 or 5 minutes. Just noticed 2/1 is up, hopefully I get the same results.

Have you installed Xposed? If so, it's not compatible with ART.

What he said, and ART does'nt really work that well yet. I imagine it will be better for Android L.

It's working good for me... I only noticed less battery life.

That's a littlebit wierd since it should SAVE battery...But anyways, not all apps works 100% with ART. I prefer Dalvik for now.

If you're happy with ART, then there's no problem

"To enable ART, or not to enable art?"

ART drains my battery 2 times faster than Dalvik
I chose dalvik because apps kept crashing and the phone lagged
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
yes .stick to dalvik.
Sent from my C1905 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
ART will make the device little bit faster. But many apps won't install or run
Since in 4.4.x ART is experimental , I would recommend Dalvic
@Remorcer , nice signature by the way !!!

Eh, I don't like those fancy schmancy ones, so I made something real quick, but thanks!
Back in the days when I used to sport CM11 (say around January), I tried the ART mode. Whatever apps I used on a daily basis worked with ART runtime. I'm an app developer, so when I used to make applications for clients, I used to test them in ART mode all the time and I had to add no extra lines of code for that!
Getting back to the point though, ART reduces some of the lag present in KitKat AOSP (yes, it lags even on Nexus devices), but I don't really see how its going to change the way you use your phone on a day to day basis. Even if you're a power user, you don't really need ART for now; the Dalvik runtime is capable enough (and has been for all these years). ART is in development stages and while it could significantly change things with the advent of L, what with the 64-bit support and all, it really makes little to no difference on our M with CM11.

Delay in waking up the screen

Anyone experiencing this at all? Doesn't happen all the time but lately I seem to be experiencing this. I will tap the screen several times an nothing happens. It takes awhile for it to respond. Very odd.

Same here - seems to be worse since the update to 5.0

Yeah I only have used the watch during lollipop so I can't comment on how it was before. Wonder if its just a Sony SM3 thing or all wear devices running 5.0. Hopefully a fix in the process.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
I'm fairly certain whatever was done to the kernel coming to 5.0 ruined the wake up time. It was so much faster on KitKat. If we really cared, we would start poking around in the kernel sources.

Possibly underclocked the device? Reason people saw improved battery life after 5.0? Just a guess.
Same for me in LG-R. It is not a watch problem but an other wear bug. Wear seem hang some time because it lost it connexion with phone and take awhile before silent reconnect.

Good to know its wear and not device dependent.

Art on Vzw note4

Switched runtime to art.. After 2 reeboots this thing flies... Only small problem upon each reeboot it optimizes about 100 apps. Dont know how to fix it. But wow this phone got huge boost.
Anyone know how to fix optimizing apps?

I'd love to know that also. I tried ART once and the optimization thing turned me off so I switched back.

I tried Art when I had my rooted S3, it always updated the apps on a phone restart. I don't think anyone found a fix. Doesn't Lollipop run on Art? Maybe there is a fix.

Yep until L comes I would suspect it's this month just don't know the date but "ART" gives this phone huge boost..
Gonna give art a try now.
EDIT: Immediately went back. s health and mainly pandora doesn't work with it. Not to mention as you guys said, the optimization of apps after a reboot takes at least 10 minutes which is horrible. I didn't think it'd be thattt bad. I remember my moto x would only take a couple minutes. Guess just have to wait till Lollipop.

How is your battery life after art is applied?

I switched back. Its hard to say.. Because reboot took like 10 min.

From what I've read ART on KitKat is experimental and not the same implementation as lollipop. I had it switched on here too and got some apps that didn't work so switched it back
