thanks for the reply

I've also found one of your earlier posts and I assume, that also OnePlus One dalvik should work smooth on PA.

But here comes another question - do I understand correctly, that after updating PA ROM after any update via recovery, I will have to re-flash this dalvik mod again?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
PA is full AOSP. OnePlus One Dalvik is CAF and won't work. The one from the Z2 will as it's AOSP.

And yes you do need to reflash after a ROM update in recovery, unless you write a persist script or your ROM supports a FlashAfterUpdate folder with it's Delta updater.

Here is a working Z2 Dalvik working on latest PA (pa_hammerhead-4.5-BETA2-20140812).

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It'll end up getting buried with new posts and people don't know how to search :p

Also, just remove installd from the zip so it doesn't get replaced and the original stays anyways. In case the PA team modifies dexopt or installd again.
[Nexus 5 General] anmar21:

I'm using a CarbonROM 4.4.4 nightly and just installed the OPO dalvik and bionic libs. I've got two questions:

I've read somewhere that dalvik is actually faster than ART after installing these mods. Is that true?

Which version is the best for my device regarding performance?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 General] luckana:
flashed Z2 ones, got infinite FCs .... had to reflash the entire rom to fix things
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
You're using Mahdi. It has CAF parts and AOSP Dalvik won't work properly. Use the OnePlus One Dalvik ._.

Mahdi one plus dalvik in first post and G3 bionic.....
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
I flash always the one plus bionic dalvic on the liquid smooth-blood on every nightly and all was ok . yesterday I try to flash a new build but with the patches or the phone after boot pop up some error's and need hard reboot to recovery and restore the backup or it booting and the apps just gone.. Any idea??
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Ask your ROM dev what he changed/post the changelog here
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
They don't answer

I'll try again

He wrote only cm updates
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Depending on what "CM updates" they are there is the slight possibility of breaking these.

Make a backup, then wipe and clean flash the ROM + Dalvik/Bionic. If anything still breaks then it's the ROM's fault. If it doesn't, then it's because you dirty flashed, in which case backup your data with TitaniumBackup/etc and restore it on clean flash.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
I dirty flash months is not that is the rom if I learn what happens I post thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Not sure if serious.. just because you've dirty flashed it for months doesn't mean that the latest version won't break anything. :rolleyes: I can name a number of reasons it would happen, even some very specific commits.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
Because I don't know if I find the change.. Is the 24-8 liquid smooth-blood the problem is on both I am tired with flashes if you find something I would appreciate

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

OK I found it http://drdevs.com/devs/teamliquid/Nightly/Nexus_7_2012/LS-KK-v3.2-2014-08-24-grouper.txt

The problem apear after 20-4 look on 21 something say for bionic
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
First of all that's for the Nexus 7, and this is the Nexus 5 section. Although nothing in that changelog would break these anyways, its probably something to do with your own setup.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
Yes I can't find for the 5 is almost the same

Is something after the 21-8 the 20 was ok
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Okay, then 21 probably broke it. If it doesn't work then just don't flash the Bionic. Big deal. LiquidSmooth already "optimizes" them anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:
Ok so without the bionic my bench scores will go down?
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Just try it yourself, isn't that hard.
[Nexus 5 General] nokiagye:

For reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53887816

Not that hard to tell which Dalvik works on which ROM if you know what you're doing. But then again 99% of users here on XDA know basically nothing beyond "flashing", and for some reason think their ROM is so unique that no one else uses it - hence the silly repeated questions over and over. Lol.

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------

Make sure your ROM boots (has the original, working installd from the ROM), then try the OnePlus One Dalvik removing the installd from the zip first (so it doesn't overwrite the original installd from your ROM).
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
Reflash your rom first.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Haha yeah :) hey man if you were talking about it I should check it out.

And any who, I may have played with these in 2013 but I couldn't recall. Of course the only time I bootlooped was due to using dalvik patches on CAF.

I see you're around like big brother taking care of the thread. :P
[Nexus 5 General] gpvecchi:
Sure, I'm a little maniac... Backup before EVERY mod, so I have a working OS...
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Yeah I think there were only AOSP Dalviks at the start of the thread (namely MotoX) and eventually people tried using CAF based ones and it worked on ROMs with CAF :p There's always going to be one that works now, and the post I linked explains which work on which and why.

And yeah kinda :p
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
That's rule number one, but it's faster to reflash and than modified the zip.

By the way, can't believe this thread is still active after many developers saying those dalvic libs aren't doing anything positive for the nexus 5.

Well it keeps us (flashoholics) from getting drawbacks when flashing is at a low point. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It doesn't do anything negative either (unless you flash the wrong one of course - but that would be your own fault). Also, if you look at various ROM's github/gerrit repos, they're modifying their Dalvik/Bionic in source to "optimize" them themselves anyways :p
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
which developer says that? if a "developer" is saying that, then they arent a real developer as real developers know that krait optimizations help any krait cpu, including the nexus 5 and nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
So flashing this on a custom rom would more pointless than on a stock rom.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It will make a difference since they're proprietary, but the perceived "increase in performance" will naturally be less, only because the one in the ROM is already a bit "optimized" (but probably not as much). Also, what [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] said. Pretty much every major ROM is already optimizing their own ones, any "developer" that claims these do 100% nothing isn't a developer.

For example:

Stock ROM scores 10 in benchmark

Custom ROM scores 15 in benchmark

Proprietary Dalvik on either ROM scores 20 in benchmark

(ignoring everything else that affects scores other than Dalvik/Bionic, and just an example of course)
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
only if a custom rom already includes a custom dalvik or bionic. if it doesnt, these will make a difference.
[Nexus 5 General] RJT71:
Sorry but I can't find the thread where a dev wrote that in his op. I forget what rom it was. Must be from all that flashing. Must amid that I did flashed must of the libs here. Only thing that truly worked are the new drivers. Latest update that is 8/8/14
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
in general, most stock or aosp based rooms don't include them(or any kind of dalvik/bionic customizatiin/optimization). cm based romd do include a custom dalvik/bionic.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

you could be using a room that includes a custom dalvik or bionic already.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
What we've said still stands - if a "dev" claims they do nothing then he doesn't know what he's doing. And what simms22 said, if your ROM already includes the proprietary Dalviks/Bionics from this thread (and not from "optimizing" in source) then flashing these will do nothing since they're already in it (unless you flashed a "better" proprietary Dalvik over a "worse" one that the ROM pasted in it).
[Nexus 5 General] Haidary.T:
I think performance is the only reason why we have these libs:) To answer your question, OPO libs are the best if you get your rom to boot with it.

[Nexus 5 General] Apokalypzx:
It's designed fur Qualcomm chipsets. The 2012 nexus 7 is an nvidia chipset. Since Qualcomm makes their architecture from the ground up and only gets the instruction set from ARM, and Nvidia uses the full architecture borrowed from ARM, there will most likely be no benefit to running this on the nexus 7 2012. Though, I would back your stuff up before you try. It has the potential of causing your GUI to not load since it runs on dalvik, but if that happens just restore.

It should improve regardless what ROM, unless the ROM already includes the same Dalvik/Bionic you're flashing, which would make flashing them pointless. Some people say these do nothing for general usage, some says it helps a lot.

Either way it'll increase benchmark scores, but general usage is subjective and it helps some but is apparently useless for others.

Extracted from Xperia Z3 (23.0.A.2.93).

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP.

Works fine on AOSP ROMs. I omitted /system/bin/installd since it hardly affects performance (if even at all) and people do not know how to search/read when they have CM11 Theme issues or attempt to flash on PA/derivatives.

Bionic boots up fine just like always.

I assume these are similar to the Z2 as Sony releases a new reiteration every 6 months or so. Theoretically they could possibly be better, but they're definitely going to be similar.
