Was searching through dev settings when to my surprise I saw dalvik/art. Anybody want to share their experiences so far? Improvements or bugs?

I haven't had any apps that didn't like ART yet. Definitely makes things faster/smoother having the apps pre-compiled.

ART is part of KK so yes, it would be included. I turned it on and things are really smooth. Loving my M8.

Just because it's part of KitKat doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be included; the HTC One M7 didn't have it because Sense 5.5 and below weren't optimized for it.

However, I just switched to ART to see how it runs - so far everything has been smooth but then again I only switched about 2 hours ago.

I used art on my i605 and Toro. Saw more of a difference on those phones. This phone is just too smooth for art :) I disabled it not long after enabling because a couple of my apps don't get along with it.

What apps if you don't mind sharing with the rest of us?

Polaris Office Viewer doesnt seem to work with ART. Also the camera began to become a little finicky for some reason. had to switch back

I was using ART for a bit but honestly I don't see any speed improvements over dalvik on this phone. My DNA yes, it was night and day, but on this it's snappy as hell either way. I switched back to dalvik to use xposed :)

I've enabled art myself took forever to start up actually was getting a tad irritated then it finally came back on in my opinion it runs a little smoother haven't had any problems at all with apps

    Threes. Order of chaos. A few older Gameloft games as well. And then some misc apps that have been abandoned.
