Hey guys!
For some reason, I can't seem to switch from ART back to Dalvik, as the option doesn't show in Dev Settings.
Updating to a newer CM Build just boot loops, and I can't loose my data in my multi-user setup, yet I'm several Nightlies behind (before he new year, iirc)
Any way to change back to Dalvik manually?

Hi, I would like to tell you my series of unfortunate events.
I was on Stock Android Rom with my International s3.
Yesterday i got bored and i installed Revolution Hd Rom (32). It was awesome! i liked 4.2 and i liked that it was stable/fast.
My main concern WAS the stability and speed about roms. And Revolution was flawless.
So while i was setting up my phone, i did something HORRIBLE!
I was trying to install Jobnik's slow mo camera app with cwm. But stupidly i tried to flash it like a rom (Used app to reboot and install rom.)
So my device was stuck on boot. (on samsung logo)
- I tried to wipe cache
- Tried to wipe cache + dalvik cache
- Tried to wipe cache + dalvik cache + factory data reset+user data wipe (a little problem there though, all of my files were still there.)
And nothing helped.
I give up.
I was lucky, i had the rom image on my sd card root. So i flashed it again. Installed with aroma. And ta-dah! My phone was back!
SOO here comes my problem;
- Now my rom is so slow! I have some flickering issues too. When i first installed i've selected some tweaks. (build.prop, sqlite and seeder.)
Second time i didn't.
Now i don't want to flash my rom AGAIN
Is there any way for me to get those tweaks again. OR even is that possible those tweaks were THAT important.
My phone feels like **** now. Please point me towards somewhere.
I've installed Watchdog and there are no apps that hogs my cpu. So i think my performance issue lies somewhere else.
- Note: My account is new, so i couldn't posted to the rom's thread. (Also couldn't able to find an Official Q&A thread.)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE
I was poking around and i found out if i disable HW Overlay from Developer options flickering issue goes away and it "seems" like i have less lag.
But what i've read about this option tells me to not disable it because HW overlay is good for performance & battery. Should i disable it. Or does my ROM requires HW to be disableD?

Having a minor problem similar to the above thread - icons disappear from home screen after reboot for apps on sdcard.
I changed launchers from trebuchet and this seems to have remedied the problem for the time being for any other launcher so far.
The thread above suggests launcher change is only a temp remedy and unchecking fast boot android setting may help too.
But that setting is missing in cm11-0712 - anyone know if this setting still exists or where one may find it?
Thread above also suggests real issue requires an added flash of Convert2ext4 which is prob too complicated for me to understand at this point and so I wouldn't try it without more study - not even sure if this particular flash would play right with my current ROM.
Anyone else with this same problem?

Just out of curiosity - if I full wipe (i think full wipe means in cwm to do factory/data wipe & cache wipe & format system & dalvik cache wipe) and then attempt to reflash the same rom cm11_0712 - would I have to restart from scratch meaning cm9 to cm10 to cm11_0712 or can I just push cm11_0712 directly? I am asking because I think cm11 already contains a kernel embedded so this might work directly?
Then of course I would have to restore my apps from TB which I'm still working on learning how to do. But am interested in poss increasing performance by turning on ART so I'd want to turn on ART first thing and then one by one restore my apps+data. Would this also work? Or is it not advisable to restore from backups with data from before ART was enabled?
Could I poss also restore some system data like launcher & live wallpaper data settings at this point without being too destructive?
I don't think you have to start over from CM 9, unless you're coming from q stock ROM, which you aren't. But yeah, just do a full wipe and reflash CM 11. As for ART, I wouldn't recommend using it until there is CM for Android L. Oh yeah, and restore your apps BEFORE you convert to ART if you haven't ever messed around with it before. Your device will automatically do the conversion from Dalvik to ART once you enable ART in Developer Options, then you will be able to mess around with it. Hope this helps

Yes, thanks. Perhaps ART is alittle too much to bite off for now and will wait. Since my other thread talks about FC's, I was thinking ART might help too but better instead to just direct re-flash cm11 fresh vs update flash (what I had been doing and redoing). Everyone's tips very helpful too.
Just a quick update - for other reasons, I reflashed cm11 fresh (full wipe) and restored apps from TB backups. The trebuchet home screen icons still disappeared for sdcard installed apps but also poor battery life returned too. Tried to mess with settings again to save more battery life but not so good battery & this compelled me to switch to carbon ROM fresh install as a new try out.
This now has launcher3 & home icons disappear too & the few battery saving settings get the battery life to pretty good. So going to stick around with carbon for a while for now - many more settings in carbon too if that appeals. As for the icons disappearing root cause still not sure exactly but at least carbon seems to support std fix also used with cm11 to change launchers to something else. Am using smart launcher instead and home icons don't disappear with it.

Firstly - I have moto G with kitkat 4.4.4, so I tried switching runtime to android ART.
After the phone rebooted, it started saying - "Android is upgrading, optimizing app xx out of 177", while I didn't have so many apps installed.
Anyways, I reverted back to dalvik after using it for a couple of minutes. And now after reboot it says - "Android is upgrading, optimizing app xx out of 78".
Why the change??
Secondly - After using ART my remaining storage fell from 8.61 GB to 8.46 GB. I'm assuming it was because of the cache generated for the AOT compilation; like how there's dalvik cache for dalvik which you can clear from recovery, but I'm not sure.
Is my assumption right, if yes, how do I clear it?
I know it shouldn't be bothering me much, but I want my head cleared about this anyways.
Thank you
I dont know, bro, but i would also like to know if possible.
don't understand why i can't switch to art. i have developer options enabled and i can select to switch from davlik to art runtime, i choose to reboot for the settings to take effect.
well, i reboot and i'm always still in davlik. any idea what the problem could be i'm running android 4.4.4 gpe
****solved, well i guess the problem is xposed. ****, no way i'm getting rid of xposed to try art
One of the reasons to upgrade to KitKat was to use ART instead of Dalvik.
However, running rooted S227_ROW, I have enabled the developer options, select ART as runtime, phone reboots, but it's still in Dalvik mode.
Cannot seem to switch to ART, am I missing something here ?
Thanks!
