Anyone else hope Google brings us an option to run dalvik in lolliflop?..

yes it can have a slight delay when pressing home button for instance, but that's the nature of the beast, because much less has been pre compiled. On the other hand apps take less space up, which i think is a bigger advantage.

once a java/dalvik coded app is up and running, qualcomm optimised dakvik reigns king. no benchmarks needed, you can see with your own eyes, launchers, animations run way smoother.

personally i have gone back to kitkat and optimised dalvik
[Nexus 5 General] Frankie73:
I don't miss Dalvik, have been on ART all the time on KK also. But although I knew that ART would be standard on Lollipop, I thought they would still give users the choice - for compatibility reasons alone, since not all apps (especially games) will run on ART right now.
[Nexus 5 General] reas0n:
This thread, when DuARTe warriors come

seriously, who would want Dalvik when we have ART! even if first boot takes a while, everything is much smoother. i don't have any issues with performance.
[Nexus 5 General] peach007:
Agreed. ART is the way of the future. And with so many cloud storage options, space should not be a problem.
[Nexus 5 General] lulli1:
there's no xposed for art right now. that's why we need dalvik. will stay on KitKat because of that reason. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] and313:
it wont happen
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
If we don't get rid of dalvik completely then some developer will just not fixing ART compatibility.
[Nexus 5 General] dannejanne:
Screw Dalvik! It's crap compared to ART. Smoother you say? Not a chance. I'm 100% sure they wont bring it back and that's a good thing.

Run Spotify for example in Dalvik compared to ART and that pretty much sums it up.
[Nexus 5 General] pookipsy:
an app doesn't support ART, so Google is the problem, not maybe, the app developers who had few months to fit their app to art.. interesting.

well, what if Google wouldn't force us to use ART(which is better), and app developers wouldn't have a reason to use art? it could slow down technological advancing and we wouldn't want that.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Ummmmm...

Facepalm. That is all.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
No it's the app developers fault for not updating their app to ART. Google gave plenty of heads up on the change. Its newer technology and it's entirely the app developers fault if they haven't adapted their app for it. Not sure why you'd think it's Google's fault...

Edit: NVM, understood your post. Was kind of hard to follow at first.

I don't own a nexus5, so can't do this but maybe you can run some benchmarks comparing stock bionic/dalvik vs optimized bionic/dalvik vs art.
[Nexus 5 General] thom_bjork:
No not at all. Art is far better. Not sure what you're on about.
[Nexus 5 General] John Freeman:
While there's no point arguing with art-warriors, id like to say that it is not about disliking change - its about preferring slightly faster app launching and by the looks of it smoothness as well. Newer does not automatically mean better, as can be seen in this case. At least not performance wise. Like OP said - Dalvik with qcomm optimized libraries offered better performance.
[Nexus 5 General] jayRokk:
Screw your VHS!!

I want 8-tracks back!!!

Nothing is more efficient than an 8-track!

Lol

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

Make a video and prove it.

I have 2 N5s and 1 N4

All run much faster than Dalvik every time with optimizations.

You and OP have screwed up phones.

There is no 'ART- Warriors' here.

But seriously think about this, just think about common sense for 5 minutes. If dalvik was indeed faster and more efficient than ART, why would google even let it cross their minds to make a new runtime?????

All it takes is common sense folks.
[Nexus 5 General] richteralan:
If you want Dalvik solely for xposed, you are going full. Never go full.
[Nexus 5 General] dannejanne:
No. ART has faster app launching and is smoother. Unless some apps don't play well with ART yet but that's the developers fault in that case.

Read up on ART and you'll see why it's faster. At the cost of longer install times for the apps and that they take up a bit more space.

If Dalvik really is faster for you, your phone must be sick.

Lollipop is great imo and running fluid and fast. Wouldn`t roll back to KK ever myself ;) Users who hate Lollipop should just flash 4.4.4 and be done with it.
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
Well, I feel the oposite here - apps starts faster on kitkat, apps using google's material design, eg: Phone, Drive, Play Music, etc. That's my perception, it feels a bit slower on Lollipop. Or a lot slower in some cases (eg: launch time of Play Music, Drive).

These people don't seem to understand there are 2 dalviks, they only know the one from the stock nexus devices
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
Just tested with the Phone app on a mate's Nexus 5 Kitktat device. It opens much quicker than on mine with Lollipop. :( (yeah, I know that it's not the same app, but hey, Google told us that Lollipop brings performance improvements.. haven't really seen too much, besides some improvement in scrolling on facebook)

Also, don't know if it's related to ART, but memory management it's much more aggressive, apps reloads so often that it's annoying! Haven't compared RAM usage per app.. The problem was there on KitKat too, but now it seems worse.:(
[Nexus 5 General] godutch:
I think it's easy for someone who can compile android, they just need to recompile libdvm.so an libcutils.so against the new lollipop base. tried to put the dalvik and bionic libraries from 444 in lollipop but I get a lot of linker errors...
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
For those who argue this.

I'm the one that has been maintaining the Dalvik/Bionic thread since the OP changed devices.

If you look at CAF repositories/git there may be ART optimizations coming.

Dalvik is deprecated. Get over it. Move on and stop being ignorant.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
i choose ignorance rather than the arrogance of Google making coders recode all their old apps
[Nexus 5 General] skullassfreak:
Sounds like somebody will be downgrading back to Vista... Why not go buy an iPhone if you don't like Google making their devices better?
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
That is such a weak excuse lol.

Every year the new Android OS deprecates the old one. How many developers do you hear whining because "OMG NOW I HAVE TO UPDATE MY ROM AGAIN. UGHHHH"

Literally none. Everyone is usually real excited about the new OS.

Are you a developer / coder? Does it directly influence you personally? As time progresses and technology improves, others will move to adapt to it. That's the way of the world. It's been repeated in principle in this thread time and time again.

Either you're BH because you want to run LP with Xposed, or you're just a troll. Or like I mentioned before, just very close minded and not open to change. I haven't heard one app developer complain about having to update their app to be ART compatible and I spend a lot of time in Android Themes & Apps section and use quite a few apps that had to be updated before they would work. Never heard / saw complaints.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Do you even know what ART is and why?

No. Google isn't making developers rewrite everything.

The only reason you would have to modify your stuff to work on ART is if you were doing things you weren't meant to, but somehow worked (exploits, glitches), on Dalvik.

If you didn't do the above, then your app will work as-is on ART with absolutely ZERO issues.

Not to mention, app developers who have done the above, have fully known FOR A YEAR that it will break on ART, because KK had an experimental build of it already.

You're BOTH ignorant and arrogant.

tl;dr: If an app developer has to refactor their codebase to work on ART, then its their own fault for exploiting Dalvik, fully knowing that it will break on ART. NOT Google's fault at all.
[Nexus 5 General] TheLastSidekick:
Very well said. We don't need to use obsolete technologies just because of XPosed.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Just do what I do. Use MultiROM. That way you can have Lollipop AND Xposed. Just not at the same time. Lol.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
No way. I would much rather have Dalvik and Xposed than ART. ART may be "better", but it's not profoundly so. The ability to customize my phone with Xposed modules is far more important than the miniscule gains from ART.

Good to knw m nt the only one still using 4.4.4 stock wid xposed :p

[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
I'm multiROMing lollipop. Using the N5X ROM with the material dark theme. It's GORGEOUS. It's probably exactly what you're looking for. Plus, the ROM has some options built in that make it easier to be without Xposed, like being able to resize the nav bar.

This x a million. I feel like people are hating on xposed. Why? :confused: Xposed is amazing. I just hope they can rework everything they do to work on ART, because it would be cool to have Lollipop with exposed, but if not, KitKat works great.

Also using N5X ROM with the blackout theme. Amazing.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadistical:
this one has been.... a headache. to say the absolute least.

i hardbricked my xt907 after it decided to go for a swim. i had zero response other than the green light coming on when it was plugged in. i waited for it to dry, then proceeded to tear it apart and clean it out to the best of my ability. in all honesty, im not exactly what sure it was AFTER i hooked it up to my computer, but i got an operating system response. it booted to the main screen once, then died due to a low battery.

,

where im sitting right now - it is booting, AND staying alive off the charger. ~~~BUT~~~ the touchscreen is unresponsive. hoping and praying that its NOT a hardware failure, i also cannot access the bootloader menu to get it into fastboot so that i can flash the entire OS.

being the stubborn individual that i am, i refuse to give up, especially with signs of progress like this. at the same time, however, my overall experience with phones is limited. so i come to you, oh mighty xda.
[Nexus 4 General] autoradio78:
​

Hi guys..this is a simple guide for have root rights on your Lollipop build.

Let's go:

If you haven't adb drivers, download THIS and install it,

Download fastboot tool HERE

Download CF-Root tool HERE

Now (after adb drivers installation if you haven't before) extract the content of fastboot tool in your C:\ directory on your PC;

Extract the content of CF-Root tool in te same directory: Example: C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools..see my image:

Reboot your device in fastboot mode (power + volume down);

Double click on root-windows.bat

Warning: If your bootloader is locked..this procedure unlock it and erease your user data: make a backup;

Wait until the process is finished and after reboot your phone;

Enjoy.

I am enjoying S Health on the Gear S - love logging activities such as walking showing with continuous heart rate and maps etc. -only issue is how do you get this info off your phone? Anyway to sync it with your account or at least S Health on the phone? I use Note 3 and can detect it but app crashes or nothing happens when trying to communicate with S Health on Gear S? Is it ONLY compatible with a Note 4?
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
Welcome to Samsung S Hell (Health I mean). From what I read, Gear S is only compatible to sync with S Health found in 2014 Samsung phones. Even that, there are missing items in sync. Older phones have to wait, maybe forever, for Samsung to release updates to it. GS3 I have will never have S Health app.
[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
I'm having the same problem. When I tap on Sync in the SHealth app on the phone, it tries to sync and then gives a sync failed error.

Using a Note 3.

I've tried endomondo, map my run and Nike +, but none of them integrate as well as SHealth with the pedometer and heart rate monitor.
[Samsung Gear S] schettj:

[Samsung Gear S] ozaghloul:
I don't have the Gear S yet. Hopefully getting mine in 2 weeks. I have a Note 4, and today I just got an update to S health on Note 4. I imagine there might be an update for S health for the note 3. This might solve your problems. Go download it from the Galaxy App store and try.
[Samsung Gear S] schettj:
No update for s health yet on note 3. My guess is that I need 4.4.4 first

[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
What's weird is that when I go into Galaxy Apps and search for "S Health" or "health", to check if there are any updates, it doesn't find the app...

I have had an S Health update in the past though...

[MENTION=423768]NinjaMom[/MENTION] - any chance you could post the apk for v3.5?
[Samsung Gear S] NinjaMom:
I'll try. But don't hold your breathe.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
S Health 3.xx is for 2014 phones only. They are not compatible with older phones. APK alone is not enough. They are many components missing. You can hack your phone to use them but that is a very complicated procedure that also requires you root your phone. There are instructions posted on a different sub forum here.

Samsung promised push the new S Health app to older phones eventually but no timeline is given. If you want it soon, your best bet is buy a 2014 phone.
[Samsung Gear S] richlum:
Thanks. I found v3.5 on another xda thread and followed the instructions, but it kept fc'ing when it tried to run it.

Hi everyone,

A lot of people are waiting KK release for European users... here it is!

This thread is based on my other own thread in a french forum: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/206376-romkitkat-beta-test-officiel/page-1

I know this ROM is KIA20.69 build, so older than the brazilian build.

But it has many languages available! (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish, Greek, Russian, Hebrew and Arabic)

This ROM is not a flashable zip. It is a backup from TWRP.

SO, you have to flash it by TWRP.

You must run JB stock before restoring.

Download the .rar package here: http://goo.gl/nzKTVH

Extract it once done then rename the folder /TWRP/BACKUPS/serial_number to your own serial number.

Copy that in your external SD card

Reboot to recovery, wipe data and cache then restore the backup and wait!

Reboot system.

Here you are! Your phone runs now KitKat for Europe!

Notice: root and delete Bug2Go and Battery Tracer. CWM Recovery does not work very well on KitKat.

Enjoy ;)

There are problems with ART (normal), the battery life is a bit worse than Omar's ROM or JB stock. This is due to the network symbols cycle quickly in between 2G to 3G to H to H+.
