[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
The diference between ART and dalvik is that ART it compiles right away when you installed the app. That's why the first boot takes a long time. Dalvik compile partially the app when you installed and partially everytime you run it

Major things on switching to ART

- more space on the device (because it's fully compiled)

- faster (even if you don't notice it skips the compile part)

- battery friendly in theory because it doesn't need to compile when you run the app (less cpu)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iSplassh:
Guys what about gaming? I cant run any game even on Dalvik or ART. The games start but the crash on the menu page. Do you have this problem too or am i the only one?

Hi [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] I'm sorry to disturb you but in this ROM I noticed the same issue that I have when ,some time ago, you swich default kernel of CM9 from 2.6 to 3.0: I have an old modem that needs pppoe protocol to connect my device on internet, and now with cm11 stock I can't do this. I tried several app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eagle.alicepppoe&hl=it and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.lvcoffee.pppoew&hl=it but without success.I'm really thinking to throw out the window my modem.....Thanks.

PS: I attached a log file of one of these application, maybe it can help.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zaid.oj:
ART is designed to reduce application loading time, and optimize RAM usage, what happens is that when you install an application under ART, it's compiled and saved, this will cause more time for the installation itself but in the other hand it will use less RAM to load is there is no need to compile and less time to load and that's something noticeable on legacy devices with less RAM, there is no direct effect on the run time of the application it's self, but because there is more free RAM there is an improvement.

Same thing for CPU usage, no direct effect but less used RAM means less I/O on the CPU clock

On high-end devices with big RAM there is no noticeable effect unless your using big, RAM consuming applications

About if a game is compatible with kitkat refer to the application it's self, but about ART support check this link http://www.androidruntime.com

Games lagging is normal on your device because of the GPU, don't forget it's an old device
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
I remember the kernel had to be compiled with ppp_async support, but this kernel has that already enabled, so that's strange.

So CM9 was the last version it worked on?

good evening sir [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] finally ı found you online haha :))

maybe my questions are foolish questions but ı really wonder :confused:

1-with latest changes on cyanogenmod/bionic side probably we can use qualcomm optimized bionic libs right? also ı think using that libs can bring us more score on antutu(8500+) ı saw from here https://github.com/AriesVE-DevCon-TEAM/android_device_samsung_ariesve/commit/26bbb96b5d6c7021d8c9f02582ef0f728c9c0ad0 and from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49046107&postcount=390

Another question: Can we change the status bar color, how in carbon rom from educk ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hack4er:
because you are not using proper gapps for ART you must use ART compatible gapps and also ART is experimental so you can see bad scroes on antutu it is normal
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iSplassh:
You cant change the color, you can only make it transparent.

If you want you can use Xposed & Xbalst it allows you to make a lot of modifications...

Good rom. Only the battery is the problem. When I have screen off for a long time it needs a much power. I see often that I left my phone with 99% and 2 hours later I have 89%.

Can it be something with my screen revision? Because I have revision 2.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9195
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arsradu:
Nope, the problems that we had in the past were with the revision 3 LCD panels. And I think that was fixed already. If the battery is not old enough or bloated to be replaced with a new one, I would recommend using a 3rd party software such as Deep Sleep Battery Saver (available on Play Store) to slow down the battery drain a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Chriss123456789:

Looking on screens the network signal is zero on the upper icon but the green bar under graph is full of activities.

Dear Mr. [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

I'm sorry to ask this. Why I can't use app "Bluetooth PAN Switch" in this ROM? It works fine in [MENTION=4853987]hadidjapri[/MENTION] build. In your CM10.1 It's working fine too. Does this mean I can't use other phone's Internet connection via bluetooth PAN (Bluetooth tethering) anymore in this ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Chriss123456789:
I have no Sim card inserted. Because I have changed my phone since arco go to the S4 Mini.

But I am still use my w sometime. Great to see that a so old device can have so much power with this ROM.

It's strange because it should have no network signal without sim card so the bar had to be empty normally.

In CM10.1 I haven't use my phone (no Sim card inserted) and it take about 11 days to get the battery to zero.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] smeroni68:
May be you do not know, but removing the sim generate the situation you found!

No sim do not means no connection to network! Means a huge drain because the phone try to connect continuously to find connection! Is the same result as if you are in an area with low signal quality... If you do not have sim, just put Airplane mode to avoid the problem... Regards.

Smeroni68 is right,

If you use airplane mode you probably can get a low battery drain like this:

On CM10.1 I don't have a Sim card inserted and it takes no percent.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
How old is your battery?

Normally the date of build is printed on it.

Perhaps it is battery?

Otherwise you can try to install rom pristine way and look if there is battery draining without any apps.

If no, install app after app and you see what happens.

Or try using greenify? It is great app. For me it works fine.

After flashing the last version my phone has slow down and became very unstable. I had to restore the previous backup because the phone was no more usable. I didn't do a clean install, but I think that those problems were caused by zram. Every time I activated it, my phone became slower, so I think that enabling zram by default can be a problem; anyone else faced those annoyances, or am I the only?

I also had those problems with my phone. System after some hours because so instable that I hardly could do something with it which didn't happen in previous versions. I'm not sure what it went bad since I always do clean installs. I didn't had the idea try to disable zram so I don't know if it was the culprit. I'm not using cm11 now, so I can't test it :\

Sir arco,

The swap sd card isn't working. I mean, I checked the option in advanced storage setting but the swap doesn't work after reboot. In storage menu we see as below: Internal Storage with details, Internal storage without details (this will be the primary as you said), Sd card with details.

Because of above the Os can't find the primary storage.

I hope it will be fixed next release.

I need confirmation from Mr arne to upload kernel with fix ..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
Ja, i just checked todays arcos last release too. The zram Option in performance settings is gone.

I recommend to use performance control beta from today:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2444376

This app shows that zram is active by default with a swap size of 130Mb! That is probaly reason why the sys slows down so much..

And as well you can disable and change the size there too

Edit: But maybe exactly this settings are intented by arco & should not be changed. Dont know in deep how this works. Maybe it needs some time to became calibrated on his own somehow...

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iSplassh:
I see in your screens that you have no signal so there is no sim card in it. In your battery usage there isnt shown how much battery your screen drains, this means you havent used the phone for a log period. We all know that in standby all the phones last in days. But we mean a daily usage, and that depends from user to user. I dont get more the 12 hours with 1 charge. Even in stock GB rom.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] miesze:
I think he does have a sim card. The signal is the green bar.

You're right though, he is not using the phone much, but he was indirectly answering a question about night time drainage.

One last thing, a lot of people say they have to charge their phone at least once a day, no matter which ROM.

But my battery lasts 2-3 days (CM10.1 Beta2), with normal usage, its my personal and work phone, I do some internet browsing, viber, hangouts, reddit. The only battery related app that I use is Deepsleep battery saver, which turns off wifi and data while the screen is off.

Of course everybody uses their phone differently, but all I'm saying is that it is perfectly possible to get such battery performance.
