ART on Nexus S (Android 4.4 KitKat)

[miHah]

Hello!

I've installed our alpha build for Nexus S and installed Gapps. Than I tried the ART function instead... It worked..with Google services FCs.

So I believe that it could work as long as we flash compatible google apps?


What do you guys think?






I'd really like to see ART in action on my Nexus S

Im try and FC all GAPPS too... then reboot.
In dalvik all Ok

I've heard of ART. I understand it is suposto make apps quicker. Is there a sticky FAQ on ART VS DALVIC virtual machine?

You need to get odexed gapps to get ART working, here's one from a build for the N4:

So do you believe art on nexus s would work with those gapps?

I will give it a try later today.

Assuming the Nexus 4 and S both use the same gapp builds than I'd assume yes. If they use different builds of gapps normally, then someone would need to make an odexed build of them for the S. But I'm curious how it goes, turning on ART on mine would be nice, anything to eek out a little more speed would be awesome.

I switched the runtime to ART and now the launcher doesn't work (black screen) and when booting it sticks at "Starting Apps"

What ROM? Launcher? Gaps? Have you done anything to the ROM (tweaks or kernel change)?

Firefox or another third party browser seems to work for the web, but google now will still be messed up... I am sure you installed correctly, but a clean install may help with ART?? You could try odexing, I liked how that worked with ART (minus the 15min initial boot time??) I don't like the gel / 4.4 laucher, I use Nova with no issues (not the 4.4 beta).. Devil kernel works well with this rom and has more available ram.. I did the full setup and restore of all my apps before switching to ART with no issues and no issues switching to ART after odexing..

If some one use openpdoide you cant use ART (mabye it will be fixed). I tried it an the whole system rebooted.....

AMAZING! I knew Android 4.4 is optimized for devices that only have 512 MB memory, but I thought that is just another Project Butter: won't be very obvious on low-end devices. As soon as I loaded CM 11, I found out I was wrong. It just bring my Nexus S back to life and I can't believe this is the successor of CM 10.2. Don't know how good it will be after switch to ART. Although I have a Nexus 4, I just feel happy that I don't need to throw this phone away.

I will try pa gapps .thx !

 

[miHah]

I am using [UNOFFICIAL][ROM][4.4][21112013] CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Nexus S with Devil Kernel on ART. It works ok, but device gets really SLOW from time to time. With that I mean it is unusable for more than 5min.

It might be the kernel, I flashed Euroskank CM11 now and won't flash any kernel to see whats going on.

I am usign THOSE GAPPS.
