Is anyone else able to enable ART on their S5? I have the latest build, rooted, xposed installed, and some minor tweaks. Every time I go into developer options and enable ART, it prompts the reboot. My phone does a somewhat normal reboot and it stays on Dalvik. I know I tried ART on the original software build back is April or May. It worked at that time but it didn't play nice with a couple of my apps. Is anyone currently using ART on a rooted phone?
Xposed is not compatible with ART.
I was suspecting that. Thanks. I wouldn't give up Xposed for anything. I hope they can eventually make it work with Android L.
Supposedly there is already something that will work, but it's not being released until L.

The dev posted that he isn't seriously working on it until AFTER 'L' it's finalized. Google keeps changing too much in ART, and it is a waste of time to keep chasing it. He had a proof of concept working before he stopped tinkering though.
So it could be a while after L is released before xposed supports ART. But it definitely will eventually. Although even then it is probable that it will only support ART in L or newer due to changes in ART from 4.4 to 5.x.

Hi Experts!
I'm currently running a rooted KitKat (Jackaway ROM) and for some strange reason don't have the option to select the new runtime ART, introduced with KitKat. I am looking in under the developer options where it's supposed to sit, but apparently not here. Anyone out there experienced a similar thing? Any possible fixes for this?
Cheers
Because ART has been taken out of Kitkat on the Note 3 by Samsung regardless of whether you are rooted or not.

This is really the only reason, I would update to KitKat. Disappointed.
Hello fellow N4 users,
I noticed few threads about ART actually running quite well on our device and I thought I'd give it a go aswell. However when I go into Dev settings and select ART instead of Dalvik, my phone just simply reboots and nothing is changed, the option is set to Dalvik again. I'm rooted on stock ROM. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
The same happen to my phone on rooted rom. On my S5 art works fine, I don't know why it won't enable on N4.

So there's completely nothing to do atm except waiting for 5.0?
I've notice this used to happen when I had xposed framework installed (xposed is not compatible with ART).
Do you have Xposed installed?
I feel like a real noob... You're right art is not compatible with Xposed... Thanks for pointing it out.
So I'm currently running Rooted Stock Rom 4.4.4 on my Nexus 4, with Xposed Framework. I'm thinking about updating my phone but I'm wondering is it worth giving up Xposed framework?
I'm using XGELSettings and Gravity Box for major customization and a couple of Snapchat mods too.

if your willing to learn to use your device in another way and you want a fresh look and better battery yes. the thing is that xposed is not going to come to android l for a long time maybe never. the developer has some serious problem with art (from testing on kit kat ) and said that is waiting for lollipop or cm12 for his phone to start the work, so you get the point. i would suggest make a backup of your device, upgrade to lollipop for a week or so to see if you like it. if not you have the backup.
P.S. use a custom kernel without it the battery life really sucks!

Huge improvements in battery life and stability, I miss PA floating notifications and navigation bar quick shortcuts... try it
Well.......the battery life is better than KK if you use a custom kernel (4-5h SOT).......but KK looks sooooooooo much better.

Personally I went from PA to a stock rooted version of 5.0 and don't regret it in the slightest. I think that L has a much nicer UI, is much smoother, has nicer animations, has better battery life and is just generally an improvement over 4.4. Then again, I stopped needing all of the features of PA a long time ago so if you're more of a power user than me then it might be worth not updating for now
Hi there,
I already know that the Samsung Lollipop stock roms have some alternated ART runtime and therefore Xposed for Lollipop doesn't work on TW-based Roms...
But on this page http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-install-Xposed-Framework-alpha-on-Android-5.0-Lollipop-and-actually-make-it-work_id66065 in the comments (see comment 4 & 6) the author claims he made Xposed working on a S4 i9505 TW-Rom.
Did anyone try it and find it working also?
Would be very good news if it's true and finally I would update also :good:
Thx for your help with this!
I wouldn't risk it. Xposed is still in alpha for lollipop. Adding samsung's own modifications into the mix creates even more of a mess.
Maybe they didn't modify ART in S4 Lollipop Rom... At least Peter K. from Phonearena states that xposed alpha is working stable...
Anyone has some experience? Tried it already?
Well, yea, it seems to work ok. But that is normal lollipop, not touchwiz.

How did you know that?
In comment 4 one asks: "I read that it doesn't work with TouchWiz."
Then in comment 6 PeterK replies: "An S4 (GT-I9505) was being used for the purposes of this guide, so it will work." means it will work with TW... or didn't Iunderstand?
Then another one aks: "Boot loop on Samsung stock ROMs apparently... May I ask what rom you are on? Thanks...."
But no reply anymore from the author...
It may work, but unstable. No one will guarantee it works.
It probably depends on the module you're installing.
I don't know why but the installed modules of Xposed are not working ... I'm using version 89 and version 3.1.5 of Xposed. My Note 4 is the N910C. Already uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not work. On my mother's Galaxy Note 4 too. The Android we use is MM 6.0.1. Can anyone give a suggestion?

1. Why not asking directly to xposed threads, probably you can get more answers there?
Also try to provide logs to the module developer so that he can have a look into it.
2. If I may, my suggestion would be to stop using that cancer called xposed.
It has 2 major issues:
A. it's a (wide) security hole - it is using a hijacks method ("hooking") and can modify the structure of the os to do whatever they want. This is why the battery life of xposed-enabled phones is worse and performance takes a hit. Actually xposed recompiles the entire ROM after it is installed.
B. it creates bugs by breaking the API's of system and/or user apps.I
I have the same phone and used xposed long time ago (2-3 years ago). But now I'm happy with Lineage OS and also good use of spen.
Check it on the exynos threads, if you like.
You choose.
