Find out about which apps can run in ART (Android Run Time), the easy way

A quick little post for something we have been working on lately.

Quite a few of you people would have heard about Android Kitkat and the bag of goodies that it brings along with it. One of those important changes though, is very much under the hood. It is called ART or Android Runtime. So what is it, and why is it important to us?

As described by Google, ART is a new Android runtime being introduced experimentally in the 4.4 release. This is a preview of work in progress in KitKat that can be turned on in Settings > developer options. Before this, all these days, every Android application used to run in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM executed files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. Now, with Android 4.4, Google has revealed that the Dalvik replacement, called Android Runtime (ART), should improve the performance of Android apps by a huge margin. The early version of ART in Android 4.4 already has been reported to have sped up apps by around 100%, though it is too early to know the whole truth. It might as well be a placebo till then.

ART straddles an interesting mid-ground between compiled and interpreted code, called ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. Currently with Android apps, they are interpreted at runtime every time you open them up. This is slow. (iOS apps, by comparison, are compiled in native code, which is much faster.) With ART enabled, each Android app is compiled to native code when you install it. Then, when it’s time to run the app, it performs with all the speed and responsiveness of a native app.

Now, a lot of developers as well as enthusiasts will be really interested in this thing. It allows Android developers to continue writing the exact same code, and having their apps work across a wide range of hardware specs and form factors — but now their apps will now run significantly faster, feel more responsive, and your device’s battery life should improve.

And this is where our new website, www.androidruntime.com comes in. Right now, in these initial stages, people are still confused as to which apps can run in ART and which cannot. Our website solves this tiny issue by letting you search for any app, and see if ART supports it or not. Missing an app but you know the answer to the question? You can even contribute and add to the supported app list. We will do a quick verification and update the search results.

Now the website is still in its infancy, but we are sure that a lot of people might be interested in it. So spread the word and do what you guys really do best.

Oh, and have a great weekend!

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] bippi79:
Explanations and facts. Our status as of now.

Lately there has been a lot of confusion as to our approach to AvatarROM and the support scenario for all the various devices. We have had a lot of negative, and must I say, important feedback, and we have also seen a slight wane in our download numbers.

First off the bat, let us lay it out there in front of you that AvatarROM is still up and running and very much alive. There have been a few problems lately, but more about that later. We would like to ensure to our users that our development pattern is still chugging like a well oiled machinery and soon things will be right back on track.

We received a lot of flak for the last 4.3 build that we came out with, which actually had a major flaw in the lockscreen, putting devices into continuous bootloops. Our immediate solution was to advice users not to upgrade at all, and to those who had, to downgrade to the previous build. Although we ended up promising users that we will soon release a new build, unfortunately it never ended up happening. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to push out a new build to our users, nor have we released any update for all those devices still on 4.2.2. The good news though, is that we will soon have a new build up and running. We are working on it and it should see the light of day soon.

The second problem, and in a way, a more grievous one was that a lot of older builds and in some cases, all the builds for specific device models got erased from our servers, as a result of which new users were never able to download our ROM. This lead to a lot of confusion, and in some cases, agitation that we might be wrapping up, which as we cleared up, is not the problem. We were trying to tweak the back- end servers and in the process, lost a lot of those older images. By the time we could salvage them, it was too late. Currently we are in the process of tweaking the servers (really carefully) and make sure that most of those missing builds are available.

So yes, in a nutshell, we really dropped the ball this time. We will like to thank all our users who stood valiantly alongside us, even though aware of the issues. We are looking into solving all these problems and should be able to alleviate them altogether in the coming days. So please be patient, just for a few more days.

Thanks

[Nexus 7 General] Nosferatu.:
Well I've been taking it around a lot lately tethered to my smartphone. Just about everyone that's asked about it the first question people ask: "is that the new iPad mini" :rolleyes::crying:

It's sad that then I say nope "it's google''s tablet the Nexus". Then it's an "oh that's cool" and people go about their business.

I told one person it was and they were so interested in the device...what are these??? widgets? Etc. etc. etc...:laugh:

It's a sad world in mobile tech. :cowboy:
[Nexus 7 General] stfudude:
I hear you, man. I was asked the same question not many days ago. What I will do after this, is that I will say that I got an iPad Mini and watch them get confused and laugh loudly once they find out it isn't. hahaha
[Nexus 7 General] DroidRunner:
My father in law asked if my tablet ran the "droid operating system". Then my sister in law showed her Kindle Fire HD to them and they said it was like an iPad mini. It's no where near an iPad mini.

I laughed.

your father-in-law are cool! wish my soon-to-be father-in-law be like that. but hey everyone's different. haha~ :highfive:

[Nexus 7 General] 95Z28:
People always asking me "is that an iPad?" They don't even know enough to specify mini. I've given up trying to explain nexus to people that don't care to know the difference.
[Nexus 7 General] b4silver:
Whenever I use my 7 people ask me if it's an ipad mini but whenever I use my Nexus 10 no one ever asks me if it's an iPad.. I guess that's due to everyone knowing what an iPad looks like and the mini being new. Oh well.

My Nexus 10 is better than your tablet. Hah.
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Nexus 7 does have a very Apple-ish design so it's pretty easy to mistake for an iPad from a distance.
[Nexus 7 General] VaderSKN:
I'm just waiting to troll some apple fanboys in school :D
[Nexus 7 General] bckrupps:
i have everything apple and somewhat of a fanboy per se. the ipad mini screen sucks. i was never much on android. every device i tried lagged or market apps had compatibility issues ect. i wanted a smaller more portable tablet to use when i didn't want to carry around my ipad 4. along came the nexus 7. if all android products were as fast and optimized it would be great. i love it and it is as fast and such as my ipad. now if more devs would just update their apps to support tablets that would be great. i am an apple guy thru and thru who also has a nexus 7. we live in harmony. not all "fanboys" want to argue but more of them should try a nexus 7. i also will say i keep my nexus 7 simple. no live wallpapers or any of the jazz but that's the apple side of me. nice and simple. rather than laying insults at each other different things work for different people. if you dont try something different now and then you might miss out while you yell and debate your cause. merry christmas everyone.
[Nexus 7 General] spitfire2425:
I blame apple... DOWN WITH APPLE!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] guih:
Every. Single. Time.
[Nexus 7 General] dstryrwiz:
I have such hatred of all things Apple that I get so defensive when people ask me if my Nexus 7 is an iPad. The Nexus 7 completely blows away the specs of yesteryear that for some reason Apple likes to claim is brand new then charge much more for. I think a device that has such amazing aftermarket developer support that for those who desire, can essentially customize everything they could ever want, is much more worth it than a device you need to "jailbreak" in order just to side-load apps, a feature that doesn't even require any real alterations from stock Android. If you feel you need to buy such a horrible device, go right ahead, but know you're making a terrible choice.
[Nexus 7 General] arc07693:
Yep. My aunt at a Christmas party last night asked if it was the new iPad mini and I was a tad surprised when my mom said "Nope, it's a Nexus 7." I guess I shouldn't be too surprised though, she was the one who bought it for me after all. And I've been talking about it for months.

[Nexus 7 General] ace-user:
tell me about it..u know what's worse? some people dont even know about nexus devices..when i tell them it's a nexus 7, they would be like "huh? never heard of it"..some people even think that's it's a cheap China made tablet..it's much more powerful for god sake!!! oh god why??=(

[Nexus 7 General] Djfantom:
People are constantly asking me is it a iPad mini .I used to say "No its The IPad Mini Killer". Lol .It got to the point that I just say yeah to strangers now .. But i take the time to explain to friends and fam what it is . I have a few wanting to buy it now instead of the iPad mini .... I just got a poetic smart cover slim case too , which will really make people mistake it for the iPad mini .. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] Ham duden:
Lol. Totally the same here, bros. They don't bother seeing what it's capable of, after I tell them that it's an ("ooooh, okaaaay") Android..

But hey, Denmark got one of the world's largest shares of Apple products compared to the number of people. So I guess I asked for it when I bought it. Sad for them, though - ****ing love this thing.
