[Q] Is it possible to build ART-only?

[rmanne]

I've tried changing build/target/product/core_minimal.xml with

PRODUCT_RUNTIMES := runtime_libdvm_default
PRODUCT_RUNTIMES += runtime_libart

to

PRODUCT_RUNTIMES := runtime_libart

but it caused a bootloop

EDIT: I tried the build again this time using

PRODUCT_RUNTIMES := runtime_libart_default

, and this time, it refused to start up. I pulled the battery, put it back it, and all of a sudden, it started working, buggy yes, but at least it booted up. When I went into dev settings expecting to see no option to change runtime, I saw "libdvm.so", "libart.so", AND "libartd.so". Well that didn't work out as planned....
EDIT2: *sigh* I swear my phone is playing with me. Or maybe 2nd time is the charm. But it worked flawlessly. Trying a 3rd time with gapps this time.

ART is still in its development stages, most apps arent optimized for it yet..
I have a Nexus 7 2013 and Dalvik still runs better.. I wish I could add those Bionic and Dalvik mods to this phone..

That is a definite no...
its not built into the rom....
ART is still experimental, I dont even use it..

If ART is only that one file then couldn't you rename it to libdvm.so from libart.so and then replace it?

Theoretically you could. But a bootloop is inevitable.

There is a line to control build type you can do dalvik, art, or both. I will dig around and give you specific path and file name.

THe real question is why would you want to do this? ART is still experimental and it gains you nothing to build for ART only since ANdroid will only run one or the other. Not both at once.

The actual build is no different except it has a choice of ART or dalvik. While ART maybe experimental it does make a huge difference in performance and battery life plus there are very few apps (almost none) that will not run in ART.

Yes, perhaps , we will see, but, the application has nothing to do with that, ART , like Dalvik is a run time environment set by the ROM, not the app.

I would check your sources on that. The app ends up into trouble usually when it has to spawn another app, e.g. trying to open a pdf in papyrus wouldn't work because of art(fixed now).
