[Moto X Q&A] acruxksa:
I'm not saying it won't work, used ART on my N4 and S4 but I'm skeptical you are going to see better performance with ART vs. the highly optimized dalvik libs used by motorola for the moto x. Especially since it's unlikely google has optimized ART for specific hardware at this point.

In my experience with ART on the N4 and S4, some tasks seemed quicker, some seemed the same and some felt slower but I definitely took a hit in battery life. I'm guessing ART on the Moto X would have a similar reaction, some tasks might seem a little quicker but I'm betting battery life is going to take a hit as well as other tasks that rely on moto x specific hardware.

I could be wrong though since I've never used a moto x (just ordered mine about 12hrs ago so I'm waiting impatiently)
[Moto X Q&A] piskr:
It's really hard to compare speed and other behavior between two runtimes if you don't have two equal phones and run both systems simultaneously. I never complained that Moto x wasn't fast when I used dalvik. It seems even more responsive now under art but it might be a subjective performance evaluation, you never know if you don't have comparable reference. Anyway I think that dalvik on android is more past than future and if you don't have a specific reason to use dalvik you should give art a shot.

Good like with your new Moto x. I believe you'll like it.:good:
[Moto X Q&A] Jemmy Ducks:
I switched to ART a few weeks back, and at that time thought I noticed a slight improvement in overall performance. I was pleased. After about a week, I installed Xposed. Unbeknownst to me, Xposed automatically reset the phone to dalvik (xposed is not ART compatible). I did not notice the change for several days, until I happened to see the runtime setting on the developer options screen. To me, this is good evidence for a placebo effect.

But try it yourself. You can always go back.
[Moto X Q&A] MaKTaiL:
Exactly! Optimized Dalvik on Moto X is as good as ART if not better.

[Moto X Q&A] weldawadyathink:
There really is no benefit to art on the Moto x. It has hugely optimized davik libs. Now if Moto gives an update that has optimized art libs, it would be amazing. But for now, I am willing to bet that any performance increase is a placebo.
[Moto X Q&A] kdog350:
I only really saw a performance boost between ART and Dalvik when I was using recent apps. There was really only like a milisecond difference between the two, but it was enough to annoy me. Battery life is really good on ART, didn't notice enough of a difference between the two.
[Moto X Q&A] SymbioticGenius:
Having used ART on my Nexus5 and MotoX I can say that it is definitely faster and better battery life. Not just placebo but thorough testing and look at the battery threads on both forums for proof. I will say that the difference was greater on the Nexus5 than on the MotoX but I feel that Google designed the 5 with ART in mind. MotoX still has a good improvement and I have no reason to go back to dalvik.

[Moto X Q&A] stevetsimmons.com:
I have been running art since it's release and love it. After numerous tests on two moto x's it is noticeably smoother. Much smoother. Battery life is a little better and certain apps open twice as fast While others do not open faster. I have 300 apps on my phone and since titanium added art support I have not found any app that does not work except xposed.
[Moto X Q&A] huyawns:
Just thought I'd give my opinion as well. I've used ART on both the Nexus 5 and Moto X, and so far from my usage, there's noticeable improvement in performance and battery life versus dalvik.
[Moto X Q&A] CMNDR:
Alright I'll give it a shot tonight and report back on my findings as well.

Truth is, no one knows--it's anecdotal and small sample sizes at best. Use whichever placebo floats your boat.
[Moto X Q&A] bmszabo:
After 2 weeks on ART, back to Dalvik. ART maybe faster (maybe placebo effect), but delivers lots of small irritations: calenders lost (solved only by reboot), evernote FC-ing (for the interested, when taking page picture), etc-etc.. All of them small by themself, but adding together: too many small problems to stay with ART.

Sorry to say, but IMHO ART is just not ready for showtime yet..
[Moto X Q&A] Marcb:
4.4.1 fixed a lot of those bugs with ART...
[Moto X Q&A] CMNDR:
After running it for about 24 hours now I have possibly noticed a boost in apps that are not in ram already. Haven't noticed anything too profound with battery life just yet. None of the apps that I've run have had any issues so far either so looks fine to me.
[Moto X Q&A] brian Marshall:
I started using ART shortly after receiving kitkat.

I noticed some significant improvements. I felt chrome was a bit smoother and apps opened a little faster. Chrome was crashing occasionally which i assumed was due to ART.

I went back to dalvik but the issues with chrome persist. I'm chalking that up to kitkat on the moto x. I've not had the same issues with other devices.

I've been back on ART for about two weeks. It definitely seems faster.

I'm no computer scientist, but I think ART pre-de-compiles apps when installing, which should make apps (at least) open faster.
[Moto X Q&A] CMNDR:
You're somewhat correct yes, ART compiles all the code necessary to run an app before it's actually needed. It is precompiled if you will. Dalvik operates on what's called a Just In Time method where the code for every app is compiled at launch of the app, hence the name just in time.
[Moto X Q&A] kkeller87:
I've ran ART since I got my phone in November. I just switched "back" to dalvik so I can play with xposed.

Does anyone know if we need to be wiping between? I know it optimizes them before booting the first time. But from what I've read, apps you download from the play store install differently on each runtime. I don't think my phone was "optimizing" long enough for it to have reinstalled all of them.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Art is like anything new.....until it's been out awhile and been updated a few times, it's gonna have flaws.

Same with Android version updates. That's why I wait a good while before I ever update anything....so I can read others experiences and wait for bug fixes.

Of course, I got over my flashaholism awhile ago...now I just want stable, smooth and the best battery life I can get.

But that's me.....I understand the want for the latest and greatest by others. ;)

[Moto X Q&A] chaoslimits:
After switch back to Dalvik, the "jank" is definitely more pronounced. It's unfortunate that so many apps are incompatible with ART on 4.4. Hopefully Moto's 4.4.2 build fixes that.
[Moto X Q&A] Just2Smoothe:
ART

So after reading and reading...and reading, I switched over to ART on my Moto X, and I can't be happier. It was already great using dalvik, but ART has improved everything for me. I find myself not reaching for my power cord, and it's just a lot snappier.
[Moto X Q&A] gtg465x:
I found that scrolling in some apps is definitely smoother with ART, but there are some issues. Calendar storage and the latest version of Google Play Services occasionally force close with ART, which can get annoying. I really want the 4.4.2 update because I think it would at least fix the Google Play Services crash, if not both.
[Moto X Q&A] piskr:
I experience the Google Play Services crash with ART too, I don't have any issues with the Calendar though.
[Moto X Q&A] jamesino:
Sorry to revive an old thread, now that the 4.4.2 update is out, how does ART run on the Moto X with this new update?
[Moto X Q&A] :
Just switch and see. Don't like it, switch back.
[Moto X Q&A] thegrants82:
In my case art actually made my Moto X run slower and it gave it lag.
[Moto X Q&A] bmszabo:
Besides: still lots of incompatibility issues with ART..
[Moto X Q&A] dubsx:
Been on ART for over 24 hours now, not one single issue and running like Forrest Gump.

Following Samsung OTA's for a long time across 3 phones and almost 6 years.. seems they connect some of the major OTAs to release of new product. Since the S5 is getting close could it be tied to that event? Betting Verizon's S5 won't be first on the release list for US carriers either.

OTA of 4.4 for the S4 prior to the S5 release just doesn't sound like a starter. It would be a nice surprise though....

so now I'm in restore mode (up +down vol + power button ) whip data & cache done.. but the problem I'm having is "reinstall packages"

and it looks like its trying to find files from sd card and this is the error message i'm getting "e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory ) installation aborted."

I don't believe this has ever been rooted and I'm not sure of the version on android..

I have a brand new sd card but not the original..

just looking to do a simple restore.. nothing crazy
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
"Reinstall packages" searches your internal memory for a .zip file containing a system update.

If you haven't downloaded one then that option won't work.

You'll need to use the "wipe data/factory reset" option.

Note that this will wipe all user data from the phone but if your locked out its your only option.

Also note that user data does not include music, downloaded files, pictures etc.

That will all be intact.

It does include things like apps, app data and settings, contacts etc. Those kinds of things will be wiped.

Once wipe data is done just reboot, no need to do anything else.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jmattia:
It's been awhile since I've messed around with Android bootloaders, but my buddy just came to me with a seemingly fried HTC One that has been stock since it was purchased. I'm trying to help him out.

We can get to the bootloader, but that is it. No OS will load, and the factory reset option does nothing. I read up on unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev, but as I'm sure you're all aware, that no longer works (MID Error 160) due to Verizon patching the exploit.

I discovered the following XDA development thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2473644 , but I am not allowed to post on that thread because I don't have enough posts!

It's a little bit over my head, as I'm not familiar with the rumrunner / s-off process. However, it seems that I will need to follow those steps if I want to unlock the bootloader with the hope of flashing a ROM and resurrecting the phone.

My question is this: with the current state of this phone not being able to load any OS / ROM, and having a locked bootloader, is there any possibility I can unlock the bootloader and get a ROM flashed? Is it possible I'm overthinking this? Is there a way to simply flash the stock ROM again since that is seemingly nowhere to be found? Or is this phone simply bricked? Since I can get to the bootloader, I would imagine there is some light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for any help you guys can give. If someone wants to offer their assistance to me directly and take the issue off the message boards, I'll gladly PayPal you 20 USD if you have a solution!

Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jmattia:
Just to clarify, the bootloader is locked and I have S-ON.

It seems I am in a bind, because I cannot flash any stock ROM or recovery with a locked bootloader. And I cannot unlock my bootloader because Verizon has blocked the standard exploit using HTCDev.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Hey buddy, what you need is a signed ruu which is the factory version of the os that comes with the phone. The signed part means that you can flash it with locked bootloader. Here Ya go

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46506621

Just ask me if you have any questions. You will need to have the htc drivers and fastboot and adb installed of course.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] tdwpkidd:
Would that work if I wanted to return to 4.2 from 4.3, locked and s-on? I was too nieve and took the 4.3 update
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Haha I wish.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jmattia:
Thanks so much for your reply. I've got the HTC drivers and the Android SDK loaded, and I used the fastboot tool when trying to unlock the boot loader using HTCDev.

Just to clarify, am I simply looking to download the signed RUU at the bottom of the second paper in that thread? Then flash it? Is that all? A lot of the other instructions in that thread seem irrelevant to my situation. If you could just point me in the right direction as to what I need to do with that RUU file, I'd appreciate it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
If you took the 4.3 update you will need the 4.3 ruu which I haven't seen yet....so if locked and s-on you are screwed. Now depending on how far they took the flashing and since you say its a sprint phone you might be able to HTC Dev unlock and at least get something booted until s-off is achieved on 4.3.

but when I come to make the update from the later version to 7.10.7720.68, the operation stops and shows an error code 800180031 saying "not enough space in os partion", I raised the amount of space using Zune but it says always the same thing, please tell me how to overcome this problem.

Hi all I am getting this error when sending sms messages. It happens at random times. I have contacted Verizon one time and the rep said they haven't seen this before and have no idea what the issue is. I contacted htc and they also said they don't know and want me to pay to send my phone in. I refuse to send it in because I'm fairly sure this is a bug in the sense 5 update. Here are some screen shots of the error.

Is anyone else getting this error, or has anyone else found a fix for it?

[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:

[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Are you using the stock messaging app or have you seen this error with 3rd party ones too.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Got off support with Verizon and he basically said it looks like a software bug and I can send you a replacement device. That makes 0 sense because if it's a software issue it's still going to be present on a replacement device. They basically said I don't know what I can do for you so that's some pretty ****ty customer support but what else is new from Verizon. They could give a **** about their customers.

Well I didn't start getting the error tell I RUU my device back to 2.07 and updated to 3.06. I use stock.

Sucks for me I don't have insurance on my device.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Yeah I don't have any as well but I'm in my warranty for another 9 days. However I don't think it's hardware it's looking like a bug in the sense 5 update. They both offered to repair my device and I won't go that route because I know nothing is wrong with it. So for now I guess I will have to use a 3rd party messaging app and wait to see if I get any errors.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
What app
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Im using go sms and it's working fine so far no errors so it's some type of bug in the sms app by htc.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Verizon took my email and said they would be in contact to help develop an ota patch for the bug. I guess we will have to eat and see I haven't gotten an email yet and I doubt I will.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Seems like we r the only ones experiencing.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Most people are probably on custom roms so they aren't experiencing it. Or maybe it doesn't bother people enough to report it.
