Does Android Lollipop only support ART or does it support dalvik too, like Kitkat supported ART?
only ART I think

most likely only ART as that is the way they are going - The build and the kernel will be built on ART so I very much doubt there will be a dalvik version
Android Lollipop should be released on Friday 17th October however don't expect it to be any phones officially until Christmas although you can always check out dev builds from the released source code but don't expect it to be on the galaxy y 5360 as ART does not support armv6

That worries me
This week I had the Amazon app crash on me (nexus 5, 4.4.4, ART) while changing Amazon accounts (worked before, something happened while doing it which apparently corrupted the app permanently).
Cleared the app data/cache, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, nothing fixed it. Every time I'd try to login, it crashed.
The only thing that fixed it was to revert back to Dalvik, then back to ART.
Looks like the conversion/recompiling process cleaned whatever got broken. Weird, as I'd expect uninstalling/reinstalling the app would suffice, if the corruption was limited to its own precompiled binary.
Without this, my only option would be a factory reset, I guess.
Even if Dalvik is dead, maybe we could get a "refresh" option for ART as a second-to-last resource.

Every time I try to change runtime to ART and reboot, the option still says "Use Dalvik". There also isn't a long boot time and the 'Android is upgrading' wait.
I am able to change to ART runtime if I do a clean flash of Omnirom but unable to do so after installing all of my apps.
Is there a log to see which apps are causing this? or if it's app related at all?
I am using Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. I have also flashed SuperSU and Temasek Kernel.

I guess you are using exposed, that causes the issue with ART.

Ahh I see. Thanks.
Edit: Yep that was the issue. Uninstalled Xposed framework modifications and it worked. And also ART runtime doesn't seem to like low available space and will start causing crashes of apps.
I guess I'm a little late to the topic, but I installed CM11 on my nook color and my razr HD. After reading this thread, I uninstalled xposed from both devices.
Every time I change from Dalvik to Art, the boot process takes long, apps getting modified, and once it's all done and I check developer options, it's telling me that it runs Dalvik.
Is there a way to pinpoint which apps could cause this?
Would it be sufficient to remove all apps and then install one app after the other to see if Art is still running, or would I have to reinstall Android or at least wipe all user data?
Hello, I recently successfully unlocked the boot loader and rooted my device running stock Android 4.4.2 but I'm having a problem with the Dalvik and ART runtimes. I've read that when you change over from Dalvik to ART it takes about 20 minutes to change everything as ART requires about 10% more space for each app. But my problem is that whenever I click on "Use ART" and my tablet reboots, nothing happens. It turns off and boots up like normal without any changes, so I looked in the options and nothing changed. I'm still using Dalvik. I've tried this process a few times but still it boots up with Dalvik.
I have 3.5GB of space left on my device with about 8GB used so I don't know if that causing it not work or whether because I've rooted my device.
Any help would be appreciated

Are you using Xposed? Can't use ART if you are.
It could be Xposed.. the developer said Xposed relies on Dalvik, and it requires basically an entire rewrite to even test if its work porting to ART.
By the way I've switched from Dalvik to Art and so forth a few times now (I don't have Xposed) and I've had no issues. I prefer ART though.

Using Xposed with Art will most likely end in a bootloop. Art is faster but still a bit in Googles experimental phase.

The latest version of Xposed forces you back to Dalvik if you attempt to enable ART.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies everyone. I am using Exposed. I think I'll just keep using Dalvik for the moment instead of going through the hassle of deleing Xposed
I used to be on ART runtime running CM11 nightlies. Since couple of days,
nightlies refuse to work correctly using ART runtime (basically Phone UI will
crash on reboot, and much of others,too).
Having already reinstalled my phone from scratch to have confirmation that
the issue is due to the choice of runtime, I'm searching a way to switch back
to Dalvik runtime from ART, using ClockworkMod and avoid full reinstallation
of the phone.
Any ideas, hints ?
anynone has this problem like me?
if i stay on dalvik these apps works, but if i switch to art when i open them, they force close, before it never happened but now yes and i dont know why.
Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 witch latest nighlty on n4 and m9 on n7, same problem on both.
Works for me, maybe it's time for a factory reset. But remember a backup.
Hit thanks if I helped you

Which version of Android are you running? If you're running Android L Preview Port, I suggest you updating it to the latest version as ART was unstable in previous versions. Otherwise, you should try finding an OTA update to your current ROM, backup everything (Titanium Backup or Nandroid backup) and erase /data partition, wipe dalvik cache.
A bit of a weird one.
Updated to CM12.1 Atares ROM :good: I have been running CM12 ROMS for ages and updated to the 12.1 via the OTG in settings and using Nightlies.
I have only noticed problem yesterday and going back to CM12 just causes more problems, also going back to the previous Nightly doesn't help
I cannot access Google Play Store. 'Check your connection and try again' All WiFi settings are correct etc... even when using mobile data, I still cannot get access.
My GT1905 has disappeared off my devices list on the play store too! I've also noticed that Google+ has disappeared off my phone too, but more interestingly my SUBCARD app has gone too! (not sure if others have gone but I noticed this as I like a subway :yum: ) But... if I go to the playstore on my phone (or PC/tablet etc...) via chrome it says it's installed! I cannot access it via my apps list.
So other than doing a wipe of my phone if there any other suggestions?
Did you perform a full wipe before updating?
You cannot just flash it over an old CM 12 you need a fresh install.

Well I would of done if it hadn't come via the OTA updates, never noticed it went from CM12 to CM12.1 until Monday/Tuesday last week.
Will do a full wipe later on today and see what happens.

Custom rom OTA's are not like official rom OTA's. Doing a wipe is still recommended. Anyway, force stopping google play and clearing app cache and data might help you in this case.
Had similar issues on other roms, even though I wiped before flashing.

I tried clearing all data and cache and also force stopping. WhisperPush kept crashing too.
Wiped the phone and started again, all sorted now with CM12.1 latest nightly build
Cheers for the advice guys.
