ART nearly not usable in Nexus S now

In the early KitKat nightly ROMs, I could use ART instead of Dalvik. (early December)

The space usage increased only 100MB or so compared with Dalvik.

However, recently, somehow /data space usage by ART increased a lot.

I installed 20131222 ROM, but using ART made /data/dalvik-cache folder's size more than 500MB. It's more than half of the /data partition!

The system apps' dex files went into dalvik-cache. I don't know why.

I came to Dalvik inevitably.

Well, re-partition or creating symbolic links in the boot stage may increase the internal storage, but it's cumbersome...
[Nexus S General] huntd:
Same experience i have here.

I have been comfortably using ART until recent nightlies. :(

now i need to remove most big space apps.

[Nexus S General] Jhyrachy:
I'm experiencing a pretty heavy battery drain (10% hour, in idle).

Any way to spot how?
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Same here, I'm waiting to see how much exactly, you can try this app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

It will tell you how much by always sleeping and wake up every time your battery drop one percent, and to save the current battery state and the time, but it will not display which app drains your battery.

Camcorder issue still present.
[Nexus S General] mypat:
close viber if both of you use it.
[Nexus S General] Jhyrachy:
Viber not installed, only whattsapp :c
[Nexus S General] Stickman89:
Sounds like you did a dirty flash, you'll need to wipe camera data/cache to solve any FC's.

Settings > Apps > ALL (TAB) > Locate 'Camera' > 'Clear data' followed by 'Clear cache'

Then restart your device.
[Nexus S General] CataHd:
Still no luck :(
[Nexus S General] Phoenixct:
Same camera issue form me.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
No Viber installed. Battery drain is 7.2% per hour, normally it was around 1.3% per hour in sleep.

Nope, doesn't work. Lost Touch to Focus, Panorama without preview and still no go for Camcorder.
[Nexus S General] Jhyrachy:
Same problem with camera, battery drain 4%/h in idle.

If i can't solve it i will probably revert to 10.2 :c
[Nexus S General] Phoenixct:
Camera issue seems to be solved in the next nightly.
[Nexus S General] mypat:
Updated.

Updated.

Cam corder works properly also there is a codec selection menu for video and audio seems really good.
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Camera issue solved already, but still no Touch To Focus and Panorama preview. For battery drain will wait for few hours.

You have to make sure you have fastboot working on your PC. You can test with fastboot devices. It should look similar to the output of adb devices.

Not opened.

[Nexus S General] Jhyrachy:
With sync off the battery drain is still here :c

Localisation and other services are off, but android system suck battery like hell :/

I have 100/800MHz OnDeamand Row for CPU and this is a clean install :/
[Nexus S General] svarte:
Try wake lock detector, to see what exact service of Android system is keeping your phone wake
[Nexus S General] Jhyrachy:
Made a test:

2h of idle with wi-fi, sync, data and position off on a 2g only network

Result -> 2.45%/h

Wake lock detector haven't found anything.

I'm still on a 100/800 interactive row cpu settings

It's not so bad, but when i turned on data and 3g (not sync or location) and used my phone a bit... Well...

(Until 92% is in idle, from 91% is in use)
[Nexus S General] drac0:
Camera issue with both Touch To Focus and Panorama solved. Taking photos and Gallery working much snappier than 10.2 ever did. Currently Battery drain is 1.7% during sleep, WiFi on, 3G off, ONDEMAND and ROW with default values and Dalvik. Getting better with each day, great job! :good:
[Nexus S General] warto:
I've just (for the first time) installed vanilla CM (and just few days before for the first time AOSP-KitKat).

Everything is fine but the developper menu is missing. I mean that one where you can switch runtime to ART, turn on USB debugging and so on.

Is it bug or I'm just dumb and cannot find it?

Ok now I know the easter egg…

anybody else having trouble with MMS while having mobile data/wifi disabled? This feature worked well on 10.2 nightlies. Now, it only works if I turn on mobile data.

I see some other devices having issues with this.
[Nexus S General] kriout:
the rom is very smooth but the battery drain is massive. i have expecially a partial wakelock of RILJ since 4.4.2 ... precedent version worked good for me. Calendar is unable to syncronize !
[Nexus S General] Naetmul:
In my case,

deleting Google Calendar from Play Store (Android market) solved that problem.

I am using Calendar from gapps (KitKat ver.), and it works fine.

I've got the same issue on 29dec build

[Nexus S General] ozancaglayan:
Are you using Instagram? When I try to choose a photo from the gallery, something like a file explorer (I think this is new in Kitkat) opens with Recent tab but no preview is available for the photos. I have to open the left-side panel and select Gallery to see the pictures I've taken. It is weird.

Also anybody facing the issue of "contact names not displayed when someone calls"? It happens occasionally for me but it is very annoying, the phone app only shows the phone number upon receiving a call. If I'm lucky it finds and shows the contact name after a few seconds. It doesn't happen all the time but happens pretty frequently. I did some research on google and found similar complaints and bug reports on google product forums but majority of those seem to be related to phone numbers entered with country prefix. I think this is not related to CM but maybe you have an idea about what is going on.

Not to mention that the screen activates with a very annoying delay when the phone rings. Anyway, this is still experimental.
[Nexus S General] sisterchick:
I'm seeing the same lag with telephone. It happens more often than not. My battery is also draining at about 12% an hour. I'm going to go ahead and wipe and do a clean install and see if it doesn't clear up some of these problems. The battery drain thing is kind of a deal breaker. I tried Better Batter Stats, but didn't really help me pin down what process of Android OS is eating the battery.
[Nexus S General] svarte:
^^ I have the caller Id problem from stock, and in every CM version. Don't happen always.just like you said.

But I think it could be a ram issue .can't be sure

ever since i downloaded the Ad2p protocol patch on my phone it has stopped ringing.

It doesn't ring when a phone comes, not even vibrates, doesn't play music, and reminders and notifications.

the phone volume slider automatically fells down when i lift it up, and then next time it's down again.

if u call or answer someone, u can hear the other person, but he/she can't hear you. so communication is impossible too.

please help me on this as i dont know what to be done.

[Moto X Q&A] xAlex22:
I will be getting my new moto x in a couple days to replace my galaxy nexus. I was just wondering how or if I can activate my new phone and make it the primary phone, without going to a Verizon store. Any info could be helpful. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
Do it online through My Verizon, or call VZW and change the device you're using.
[Moto X Q&A] chaoslimits:
All the info you need is on the box. You'll need the IMEI and Sim ICCID (long number with lots of 0s). Go to "activate or switch devices" on the home page.
[Moto X Q&A] chrisbass:
I'm waiting for my verizon version as well. Does it come with a nano sim? Or do you think that'd be a trip to the verizon store? Or just perhaps cut the sim from my note 3 down? Any input? If it helps I ordered mine off contract with the cyber Monday $150 off deal
[Moto X Q&A] Coop9:
The sim should be included. No trip to the store required.
[Moto X Q&A] chaoslimits:
Sim is inside the phone already. They include a small pin if you need to remove it but you don't need to. Register the phone and sim using the info on the box.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
And if your current device uses a Nano SIM (iphone 5 for example), you can just move the nano sim from your old device to the X.

And of course, you can use SIM adapters to put the nano sim into other phones, if you need to switch back to your old phone for some reason.

IN wugs toolkit there is option 'Back to stock' - flash stock + unroot

after flashing you will need to root again which is a piece of cake using wugs toolkit:laugh:

What do you mean tiny issues, camera? Really I don't mind if it's not perfect, I just need the camera to work somehow, so you still say stock is the latest??

I think you can keep your bootloader unlocked.

Just download an official ROM FTF file for your phone and flash it using Androxyde's FlashTool. It should debrick your phone. Then, you can repeat your experiments with custom ROMs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil1508:
Hey guys,

So I decided to switch from Dalvik to ART but ran into some problems.

I installed the Omni Rom, the 5/12 nightly. And its working fine.

As for the gapps package, I used the pa-gapps full package dated 2/11/2013. I had downloaded it way back and decided that I would update the apps in the playstore anyway so why download the new package

When I switched to ART, it booted fine. Started optimizing apps, took a while but I read that it's normal. It finished and thats when the problems started. I instantly got FCs, mostly from Google Keyboard ( though I wasn't using it ) and this 'the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working '. And EVERY time I pressed ok, it wud pop up again. it wud stop for a minute after pressing 'ok' for about 20 times. and when I opened up settings to switch back the dalvik, the same happened. I did manage to get back to dalvik though

Is the gapps package interfering with ART? Should I download the latest package and flash that when I install Omni?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenobol:
I had the same issue while using pa gapps on gnomes project kitkat! therefor gnome provides his own core apps package which is working perfectly with art.

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with Hyperion extended batteries for the Galaxy S4?

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Sams...F8&qid=1386316276&sr=8-1&keywords=s4+hyperion

I'm going to be ordering one soon but thought I should ask about the performance and experience by people who may have used it. It says that the battery now has NFC, can anyone using it confirm if it is true?

The battery has positive reviews on Amazon. Can anyone also tell how fat does the S4 get when used with the battery? Also what timings are you guys getting with the battery? Is an external case needed to avoid any ugliness or anything?

All this and if you have anything to else to add would be of great help.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] blwnv8:
I had a Hyperion with my s3 and it was a good battery. They have great customer service. It seemed like it started draining a little more than normal at 6 months or so but it could have been my imagination or poor cell signal. I emailed them for help/info and they rushed another battery out free of charged. Was willing to send the old one back but they told me to keep it.

I'd definitely buy from them again. I did get mine on Amazon like most things I buy. Went with a 3000 mah zero lemon for my s4 due to size. Lots of nice cases for stock size phones. Would love an extended waterproof case.
