ART is more batteryfriendly and gives you better performance.
If you use Xposed you can't use ART because is doesn't support it yet.

Pac Man Rom S view case

Hi guys so i installed the PAC man ROM on my s4 but the s view case is not working how it works with touch wiz im wondering if anyone else is having this problem or is it just me?
i installed this version of PAC Man http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339389
Help is much appreciated.
Its not a problem. CM does not support it so neither will PAC. I wouldn't think that there is a high chance of it ever working on either CM or PAC.

Yeah it would really nice, if the Flipcases are working, is there are any app or some kind of "driver" to get that happen?

There are apps on the market to kick and unlock your screen but they drain the battery a lot. The time and stuff won't show up.

Hi,
Have you a name or a link for an app like this?

Hi,
okay I found an app that works with the proximity sensor of the device.
Comments say it drains the battery, I will test it.

[Q] Best tweak [MOD] for RAZR M?

What is the best tweak MOD for the RAZR M?
Battery Life: TESTING...
Smoothness/speed: Pure Performance X Gold Edition
Features: Pimp My ROM
Pure Performance X Gold Edition
Pimp My ROM
CrossBreader
Fly-On
ODEX (Compatible with any of the above)
I have to go with x-breeder, its been my go to mod for a while now. If i remember correctly pimp my rom can help "pimp" a stock rom which is pretty cool.
Its worth noting that I have not used fly-on and am still on a 4.2.2 Rom.
SD swap. As implemented in the Avsitralia deodexed mod rom. Basically renders internal for system use. You can still use internal if you want.
YEah, I tried out Pimp My ROM... that was a fail.
Both the Aroma & App versions failed to create a rescue.zip, along with all of their other features.
Switching to crossbreeder...

Click the link and it will provide a full description.
It speeds up the UI drastically, it is smooth like butter
I highly recommend this over crossbreeder.

It works in a totally different way than XBreeder, and I'm pretty sure you can use them together. Also, the issues with many of the those types of mods is that they eat battery. They claim to save on battery, but I've tested a lot of them and almost every one of them eats up battery.
I think I'm starting to notice that... But it defiantly does what it says, best performance I've ever had on this.

Yeah, with every mod that I've run the phone will fly, but with performance comes battery drain.
What is the best mod for battery life in your opinion?

I used to use Supremacy, but it's pretty old and is not updated. However, it is a real light init.d script that doesn't touch build.prop at all. I would use this on stock CM and helped and didn't drain the battery much at all. On any ROM that's not stock CM, I only run XBreeder. A lot of ROMs have tweaks build in that we can't see, so I just leave it up to developer to give us a good product.
Haven't really seen any noticeable battery drain on xbreeder but not doing any scientifically sound tests... Just general use

OK so I pulled my old Dinc out and fired up 4.2.2 on it with the performance and xbreeder mods... Wow! It competes with my RAZR m when it doesn't have the mod, and it doesn't kill the battery either!
I figured out the battery consumption problem also
It is not in any of the mods, it is your wakelocks.
I've found "Google Services" as a whole is the big bad wolf to look out for. I suggest turn off all location related services (NlpWakeLock). Also make sure NFC is turned off if you really don't ever use it.
I suggest flashing both xbreeder AND Pure Performance for best results.

You're apps/mods in 9300/9305 CM11

Hi! I already install CM 11, i'm a beginner in this. The first impression that I have about this mod is that was awesome but I will like to know what apps or mods do you have on you're device.
Thank you

It depends on what you want to do with your phone, Customizations could include everything from having a non-stock wallpaper downloaded from the internet, to a new homescreen manager, to rolling your own ROM.
I have no idea why this thread has been opened.
Not sent from a shiny new phone.

Kitkat Dialer isn't really original coming from Nexus 5, it's a little different.
The thing is,exDialer has an swipe option like stock ROM has and has even themes. Like ICS , Stock touchwiz (with sounds) and kitkat too and is a lot faster. Still personal choise,tho
No problems,man.
Yeah, I've noticed, by chance before having kitkat had this' exDialer "and was very good. I like the original kitkat CM11 up is quite reactive and beautiful.

[Q] Art mode in TouchWiz

Any how is this possible? Like in M8 ARHD there's ART mode option.
Any ROM here can make this possible? S800 version.

Afaik only the S5 supports ART out of the box, maybe others like the Note 3 and S4 will follow.

Oh well. Thanks for the info.
I am flashing for a friend that is suffering from serious battery drain issues. So I wanted her to use ART.
ART (Android run time) is an experimental alternative to Dalvik
First introduced on Nexus 5 I believe.
My understanding was it was work in progress as not all apps would run on it.
This was the case back in Oct 2013 when Nexus 5 was released

I never noticed much of a difference when using ART on AOSP but I do want to try it on tw. A friend of mine that has the S5 says ART is actually slower than dalvik on tw. That's the only reason why I want to try to see for myself on the note 3..

He wasn't asking what ART is. He was asking if note 3 has ART. And it clearly doesn't. So far only AOSP roms have ART on the note 3.

The ART of the S5

I read the L is supposed to have some great improvements with ART. Has anyone tried using ART with the rooted debloated/deodexed ROMs? What differences did you notice?

I used ART on the stock rom, rooted, and the only difference I saw was a significant decrease in the available memory (internal). I went from about 86% free using Delvek to 76% free when I changed to ART. I used TiBu to clear Delvek but that didn't improve the available memory at all. Not sure why the big difference, but it was significant.
