Can't change Runtime in Developer Settings - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have S5 G900FD, My battery lasts only for 20hrs and i heard to change runtime from dalvik to ARL can increase battery life.
But when ever i click on ARL to select it says phone will reboot but after reboot it remains on dalvik.
And is it safe to change to ART, if it change to ART does it factory reset my fone or not. I dont want factory reset.
No rooted, Stock ROM
Thanks

Nexus 7 ART runtime help

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

Switch off the phone then hold volume up + power button at same time, a menu will open where you can choose ti wipe cache and data, but remember to back up everything first.

[Big Bug] Calling running ART

Well, guys let's see if you can help me...
I had the doubt about running ART, because you know it, in LOLLIPOP there's necessary ART, so I changed DALVIK to ART, I was using all totally good, but... When I was trying to call somebody:
I press the number in PHONE app and if I press 2 NUMBERS It says "CONTACTS HAS STOPPED". I try a lot of stuffs, REALLY A LOT. But, when I gave up, I remember the ART change, so I turn back to DALVIK started phone app, press ALL THE 10 DIGITS NUMBER and there's no problem.
So:
In Art: PHONE APP CRASHES (sorry about the music is youtube option)

In dalvik: Everything goes normal
(Sorry about the music is youtube option)

I've been using my phone for 1 week. It is rooted and is the EXYNOS 5433 version.
Have you tried it?
Is it just my phone?
Why you just don't try to install a new ROM. I think you pretty much known about it if you are rooted. Else in recovery just clear everything(factory reset) and then try to again use see if the problem is solved...

Hi, It is just your phone. I switched to Art about an hour after buying the phone, I am able to dial and use the whole without any crashes. The contacts and dialer works fine. Did you try to disable any apps / services manually?
No New rom
Well, There's no new ROM, for exynos, so I'll pass for this time, and yes I'm lretty sure that if I do a full reset There won't be any troubles on that apps. It just was so curious.
Did you root your phone before change to art? Is exynos version? I did it since wednesday, If I have more time I'll do a back up of all my apps and I'll do A FULL RESET in recovery, I'm just waiting to install CWM recovery.
It's probably best to wait for L to start using ART. Seems everyone that had tried it has run into problems.
