[TEST][MOD] Enable Art Runtime on Galaxy S4 KitKat

[adojames]

I can confirm that with all files copied over including the files in system/bin that it currently doesn't work for me.

Also checked Odex using Odexertool and don't have Xposed installed. Rom I9505XXUFNC9.

lucky for all people who can get this working! Are there any improvements in battery life or performance?

 

[locofocos]

I've tried this on Echoe rom v20.3 ported to Verizon. It's based on 4.4.2, build I9505XXUFNBH. My device also returns to the Dalvik runtime on reboot.

 

[Albe95]

Yep for now this mod didn't work.

 

[deathst]

Yep for now this mod didn't work.

This would not work... HOWEVER!

If you take the files from CM or Paranoid.. It will show progress on logcat.. HOWEVER.. it will be stuck on boot (Samsung Logo) cause the /system/framework has files in there without classes.dex even on pure Samsung Stock roms.

Nice try though.

Not working!!!

My phone is S4 19500 exonys.
Rooted but no custom rom installed

1.Uninstalled xposed and related modules
2.copied the files into right folders and set the permissions as rw-r--r--
3.rebooted and enabled art runtime from dev options
4.asked to reboot
5.rebooted still in dalvik.

please help.

I am exactly in the same situation. Here is the screenshot

there is no working solution at the moment!

Hello,
Can you try supporting ART runtime again?
thank you.

 

[Bingley]

Is there a better thread to track for art updates on the S4?

 

[MeThisGuy]

Xposed complete uninstall fix

http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/phone-wont-change-to-art-t2574626

"copy /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process using a root file explorer. turn on ART."

this is key. if you EVER installed Xposed, there will be an app_process.orig backup file which doesn't get reverted back upon uninstall. To change to ART after this you have to use a root file explorer to restore the original

took me a while to find. let me know if that helps and if this setup enabling ART runtime on the Galaxy s4 works after

I tried all options available in this thread, still doesn't work.

 

[pgriffinsc]

I tried this on my Sprint S4, and it wouldnt stick, so I went a step further.i downloaded a deodexed S5 rom and pulled the files from that, and still a no go . it'll let me select ART, but when I reboot, back to Dalvik. I'm on a stock, rooted and odexed rom without xposed installed

[userprince]

It doesn't work no xposed installed and on stock rooted rom

Neither works on i9500.

This mod enable Art Runtime on Galaxy S4.

I've made some checks why ART doesn't work. It's because some limitation of ART compiler. Framework should be edited to remove JNI calls in static definitions. In SM-G900/901 Samsung had been made fixes, while non-art frameworks (in I9505/I9500) haven't been tweaked.
Unless these fixes in framework will be applied, ART won't work.
It requires a large time to find all these fixes and apply them correctly.

art runtime require dex2oat file in system/bin from S5 firmware. i try but doesn't work. don't convert deodexed firmware.

 

[sorg]

Of course i know it. I've fixed all problematic static initializations in framework. Now i don't have any JNI errors while compiling in ART compiler, but at the end i have unclear exception:

Google gives some links about similar problems, but don't give any exact solution.

I'm trying it on my SHV-E330S which is very close to SM-G900F by hardware and firmware - so i have more freedom in libraries swapping. I even compiled ART separately from AOSP sources and got the same result. May be some other libraries need to be swapped, but i couldn't track which one.
Actually i was just curious about porting ART feature, without any practical use because it's not compatible with xposed framework. May be i stop now. I'm tired and ran out of ideas...

Cant change on art. I use s4 with imperium rom. I select art in dev settings , it reboot but remain on dalvik, i unistalled xposed.

 

[Lucasalexander11]

So I have a question, I have a note S4 and when I switched to ART runtime my phone was unable to reboot, it basically was able to load the window showing the T-Mobile icon and then would not go any further. It would retry to reboot until the phone ultimately overheated the battery. Keep in mind my phones data storage was nearly full. To reset to Dalvik I had to wipe cache partition and wipe data or factory reset. Luckily the data I needed was Backed up via my Google account. Should I just stick with Dalvik until the new OS runtime is released or should I open up the space required, and retry ART? For a good hour or so I had a dead note 4 which sucked! Don't want to have to go through all that again but I'd like to try the ART Runtime hence the faster system. Has anyone used it gotten good results?
