Apps now compile at load and then run.

ART precompiles everything so load times are faster - but it's going to cut into your storage for the compiled files.

From my experience with other roms, further claims seem more like pixie dust.

And Google published benchmarks a few years back that showed that Java/SDK and C/NDK ran about the same, minus the load times.

Well I'm sure people will have differing opinions but........

I ran ART for a couple of days, and noticed no difference in speed or battery life, although I did have it pointed out to me that certain apps like YouTube will launch faster. This isn't something I would have noticed on my own, however.

The biggest killer for me is the boot time after flashing something that wipes your cache. You're looking at 15+ minutes for your phone to boot while the cache rebuilds.

For these reasons, I'm still running dalvik.

hmm that's interesting information, I was so curious to go on ART a lot of them say that apps runs faster.
[One (M8) Android Development] EarlyMon:
http://psychology.about.com/od/hindex/g/def_hawthorn.htm

For a lot of people, you can change anything, call it an improvement and they'll fall over themselves insisting that the change is huge.

Someday, maybe, possibly, we'll see some optimization improvements in ART and then it'll make a difference.

Just like we saw compiler improvements in Gingerbread.

The whole meme is thanks to the people who believe that the iPhone runs faster because its apps are native, precompiled code.

Personally, I may try ART next year again. Or the year after. Or when I'm forced to.

The LG G3 crowd insists that it's great because it gets rid of lag.

They also insist that the LG is running a really light software stack. Rotflmao

3 GB ram, an 801 processor and lag - the problem isn't the Dalvik JIT compiler.

I'm glad you liked it. The google button is just a shortcut to the Voice Search application, which is themed by Click-UI icon pack.

Just hide the app labels on the home screen from Venom Tweaks and you are good to go :)
[One (M8) Android Development] colinmc8:
Yes, it's green in every theme. I take it you are running the new base in that pic? Do you happen to know what happened to the airplane widget? I'm coming from a One X and used it every night to activate airplane mode, is it the Rom or have HTC removed it? Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] Basil3:
Yes, I'm on new ROM with 4.4.3 base.

Airplane widget doesn't seem to be there, but no idea why you would even use any of those widgets. Can easily activate airplane mode via any of the quick settings or APM.
[One (M8) Android Development] colinmc8:
Same reason you would use any widget! It's one touch vs a swipe and touch. It's all about personalisation :) thanks anyway.

[One (M8) Android Development] hdorius:

[One (M8) Android Development] j to the 4n:
I never fullwipe for years when installing any updates, independent if new base or not.

If HTC releases an OTA to a new base..it wont fullwipe you phone either?

Just if you come from a none sense rom (GPE/AOSP/CM etc) you should do.

Sunshine S-OFF should work for you too.

But without s-off you need to wait, until you get the ota from your carrier, to update the firmware.

Because you would need zip which is singed by HTC.

But also without the latest firmware, the rom would work.

But you will get very long boot times.

You need to flash it manually....flashing the ROM doesnt give a FW update...

[One (M8) Android Development] abrasive:
That's correct, every boot will take about five minutes until you've updated the firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] Souldrinker:
Yes, it's going to be long everytime you restart your phone until you upgrade to a new 2.x based firmware.

But rather than wait, you could try to s-off your phone through sunshine (costs $25, but I think it's worth it), if you dare. I had a Three Sweden branded phone and I would probably have had to wait for an eternity to get the new firmware, so I s-offed, changed cid and flashed a new firmware and am now happily running the new Viper on the new firmware.

For some information on how I upgraded the firmware you can check my conversation with a guy at the sunshine thread (page 60):

Any more, I'm not really sure why people even care about airplane mode, since you no longer are forced to put your phone into airplane mode on an actual airplane. That widget used to be a convenience for shutting down your devices radios in one click when flying. It's not really for what some use it for, which is battery saving by killing radios when not needed. IMO if users are looking for battery saving by killing all radios with airplane mode, they may as well use extreme power save mode. Just my two cents.
[One (M8) Android Development] dovah:
That's not true, where I live we still must put our phones on airplane mode, or switch them off completely. So the widget is still useful to some, just because you don't need it, doesn't mean others don't either ;)
