[Q] ART vs Dalvik runtime
- Thread starter gtofan350
- Start date
Since speed was never really a problem with this phone, ART has little to no benefit, it takes up about a gig or so and has poor compatibility with many apps. From my testing, around a quarter of my apps fc, blinkfeed was maybe a tad smoother, the rest of the system was already butter smooth, so far, not worth the trouble, not to mention it breaks xposed, in the future it may be worth looking into as theoretically it is better than dalkvik.
ART is definitely smoother and snappier than dalvik. Apps load much faster because they are precompiled. Should be few issues if any. I have personally tested over 75 apps, all worked fine.

That's news to me. When I had a nexus on ART Facebook took much longer to load. Strange.
This shouldn't be an issue of you're running stock. You might encounter this types of problems if you're using a custom ROM that has some ART and Dalvik optimizations. But with just pure Stock it should work fine.
After enabling art, nova launcher wouldn't work.. And I didn't really notice a big speed increase

It was stated that on devices that are high end and very recent that the performance increases would be very minimal they would be more noticable on phone that were running slow. So other than that the other benefit is that it increases battery life mainly in standby. Such as while its just sitting in your pocket with dalvik the battery would drain more than if it was running ART
