It's now about 24 hours ago I finally made the transition to ART (never even tried it before).

I must say I'm impressed, after the longer initial boot (about 10 minutes) , the phone is snappier, more battery friendly and now boot's faster, even after a ROM flash (no cache or dalvik wipe) it booted very fast. Not a single issue during the last 24 hours :good:

It's farewell to dalvik for me, thanks to all with there positive stories about ART they made me finally give it a try :laugh:

Nice to hear you're happy, even without your beloved Xposed ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I miss a couple of them, but I will find an alternative for them, or get used to it for now.

What camera app do u use with art? I'm using snap camera (which isn't yet compatible with art) because stock camera app has that annoying bug with focus mode being stucked on continuous... [emoji58]

LE: flashing latest update changed the wallpaper for me... Don't know if it is much, but i though I should tell you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] russ18uk:
Funnily enough USSD blocker has stuck even after removing the module. The one I do miss are the speed notification in the notification area.

What part of Snap camera doesnt work on ART?

I've been on this combination for a couple of months now, and its worked great for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
It is?! Hmmm... The last time I was on art it just won't start, it gave me FC every time. Will try again now. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm using ABC, A Better Camera.

did you have the wallpaper stored on external SD? I can't think of anything else causing the wallpaper change.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
Still doesn't work for me... [emoji20]

Fc when i try to start the app. I must be the chosen one [emoji15]

LE2: cleared data and cache of snap camera, rebooted and now it works...

LE: it fc's even when i try to open snap gallery...

No, i did not have the wallpaper on external sd card... Weird. Will try abc too :)

Thanks

Just noticed a strange flickering screen behaviour after pressing power button: menu appears with its options and the background, not the menu one, flickers everytime... It's gone crazy!

[emoji19]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
I also had some flickering when heads up came up from a text while looking at Google plus(right after dirty flash of 7/25), I rebooted and changed my time out to 6 seconds, changed my profile back to SlimSaberKat stock and haven't had it happen again, I have cat log up and running but all has been running great since my initial flash of 7/25
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm also having it sometimes with floatify messages. Seems to happen once every few days.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] russ18uk:
For me the flickering happens only on the calendar widget. It's a slim bug as I had the same on the s2's builds.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:

Freezes again :( 2 big ones whilst using UC browser, I really like uc browser as it does text reflow really good but it is glitchy, it's the only thing I haven't ruled out and I'm not sure how an app can cause system freezes but hey, going to change browser's for a while and see what happens. Any suggestions for good browser that reflows text good?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
I might might be gong mad, but did there used to be a settings to set screen colours "warm" "cool" " cold"??

I see the setting in advanced about setting colour modes "dynamic" "movie" etc, but that isn't it.. :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aleksik:
Yep, the screen colour temperature settings seem to be gone :eek:

Sent from my GT-I9505 powered by SlimSaberKat & alucard kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
It's gone indeed :confused:

I haven't done anything to it, and also never noticed because I use Lux auto brightness and that also sets the screen colour temp.

The only thing I can think off that might have something to do with it is that I added "ro.product.device=jflte" to the build.prop needed to get the OTA function to work.

You can try to commend it out by placing a "#" in frond of the build.prop line and reboot, see if that brings it back.

I hope not because that means I messed upand need to find an other solution for the OTA functionality :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
It's not in the official SlimKat build neither, if that's of any help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
yes it is, I didn't mess up things :victory:

I can stop thinking about possible fixes.

BTW, did you see this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Its not in 6.6 weekly.

All I have is cabc, scenario, mode, outdoor mode and negative mode.

Nothing in those options regarding cool, warm etc.

Edit....just realized your "yes is it" relates to my "of any help" comment, and not about not being in there! :D

Regarding transparency, that might explain things then as I have live wallpaper, but on official build, i have transparency, albeit at an EXTREMELY minimal level....eg. I see no difference between 50% and 100% transparency. Perhaps it was like this on SSK also, its just that the lighting at the time was too bright for me to notice the homescreen coming through. I can only just see it on official build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
The difference between 50 and 100% transparency should be substantial.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
On official build, I get this:

I'll have to restore my SSK nandroid and check again, but I'm sure I didnt get this, but like I said, I probably didnt notice it due to bright lighting conditions at the time

I think it's because the homescreen dims in the background as the drawer is pulled down, and the fact that my live wallpaper is dim to start with, which means I hardly notice any difference between the two.

Guys, I am planning another attempt to convert to art. Because simply uninstall Xposed binary and Xposed app obviously doesn't work for me, maybe some of you have an idea how to make it right? Even with full wipe if needed...

GT-I9505 | SlimSaberKat 4.4.4 jflte by kantjer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Uninstall the xposed binary using xposed installer app should do the trick.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
That's what I did last time ;) you read a few pages back what happened then :)

GT-I9505 | SlimSaberKat 4.4.4 jflte by kantjer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Errm, don't know, that should work, I've done that many times and never had a problem, try again then if not back, if that fails you could try wipe system/cache/dalvik and then reflash ROM and when you reboot xposed framework will not be installed but all your data will be there so you can then uninstall the app and modules, switch to ART and then that should definitely work else you have a phone that it's allergic to ART :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
as an extra safety, uninstall the xposed binary, reboot.

Check in the xposed installer app if if the binary is really gone and your modules are not working anymore.

Than switch to ART, reboot, have a coffee, and come back in 10 minutes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Just uninstalled xposed through the app itself and rebooted! Although everything seems to be not working, xposed itself and it's modules, the app stills there, shouldn't it have disappeared when performing it's uninstall? How do I check that binary thing?

Switched to (f)art flawlessly!

:P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
In the Xposed installer app you will see both the available and installed binary version. Installed should be empty.

You uninstall the Xposed app and all modules like any other app after you removed the binaries.

How many space left do you have on sdcard when you switch to ART?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
3,78 GB, why?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
dalvik to ART

Tutorial:

For Xposed users:

open Xposed installer app and go to first tab and uninstall Xposed binaries

uninstall Xposed installer app and modules (optional, it does no harm to leave them installed in case you want to revert later )

download the two scripts kantjer uploaded here earlier today (post 2506)

go to developer options and select ART

accept the reboot now toast

go and have a coffee and maybe a bacon sandwich and a some o more donuts and another coffee lol

your phone will get hot and should tell you is optimising apps in the exact same way as when you clean cache/dalvik

Oh, and if anything does go horribly wrong flash the revert to dalivik script in recovery and (in theory, as I've never had to do this), you should be golden ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
I wish it was so easy... But after 3 flashes, about 10 reboots, and countless fc's it looks I finally did it :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Welcome aboard then.

Still strange it took so much effort, don't know if it is necessary but because the process seems to be very cpu intensive it won't hurt to have the phone connected to the charger while going through the reboot and upgrade process.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
Not the problem then sorry.

Because dalvik-cache stores classes.dex files , classes.dex files are way bigger under ART (+ it adds 2 others big .dex files) and dalvik-cache is under /data (user space/internal storage/sdcard).

Someone just reported some similar issues as yours on another thread and there it was definitely a lack of storage space.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Thanks :good:

Added to the Q&A, post #3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
But much longer ;)

I also switched for the first time to ART 2 days ago on a CM based rom (thanks to ART user's reports) but i was under heavy rom testing,had to flash different nightly versions very very often and ended up a little tired of waiting for my device to boot :)

I just switched back to dalvik (not a point but regained about 600mb of internal storage) but yeah although i didn't noticed a real difference it may worth it.

I had Xposed&modules running right before but i confirm, simply uninstall from Xposed installer app was enough for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I also noticed an increase in my nandroid backup size of about 500mb.

But my boot time is definitely better. Even after flashing a ROM update without wipe the phone booted extremely fast now using ART.

The only thing still taking some time is the loading off my widgets

That's what i thought i understood from other's reports (only dalvik2art switch taking a longer time to optimize apps) but finally..or strangely...

I'll test again on SlimKat anyway, since i tested on CM i wonder if there could be some differences (there's at least one regarding dalvik-cache location,CM builds use /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps and framework .jar besides /data/dalvik-cache for user's apps while Slim and probably others AOSP based builds only use the usual /data/dalvik-cache).

Can't see where it could make a difference but well..i guess i've found myself another android hobby lol,i'll keep investigating.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
IMO, having it at the bottom of the screen will get in the way and you will often press notification by mistake as you randomly type or scroll or something like that. Just my opinion tho.

Mainly released as an OTA test, see if SlimOTA reports it. Didn't want to only update the OTA message without giving a real updated ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
Did you have art enabled prior to flash? By the time all my apps are optimized (art) my phone has always gotten pretty warm on me,, on the latest 7/27 and I didn't notice any real difference in temperature on my end
