4.4 QC optimized dalvik still compatible with 4.4.1? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states, I'm curious if the optimized dalvik from the Moto X still works with the 4.4.1 update. I loved the boost, but I'm not sure if it's still usable.
TIA

yes.
but you could get a faster answer by just flashing it yourself. if it didnt boot, all you do is reflash your rom(ot restore a backup of your rom).

[Q] MIUI Problems

I switched to MIUI a few days days ago, and I've been loving it so far. But I have been having a couple of issues.
Every so often my phone restarts for no reason. Sometimes when I'm in the settings application. Other times when I'm playing music. Regardless which music app I'm using, it'll restart my phone after 15-20 minutes.
My other issue is that my phone thinks its a Desire HD. is there a way to change
that? I can't access certain apps in the market because of that.
Thanks in advance.
I would try reflashing the rom. What kernal are you using with the rom and which version of MIUI? There is a discussion somewhere in the MIUI thread about changing the description in the build.prop file to make it show as an Inspire
I'm running miui 1.7.23. Not sure which kernel, probably the stock one. I haven't really read anything about the differences or why one is better than another.

It sounds like a bad rom flash. I would wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Then I would reload the rom. The stock kernal that comes with the latest rom needs to be updated with the latest Lordmod kern but it should not cause the problems you are having.

Dialer wakelock on CM7 nightly (2.3.5)

Has anybody else had the Dialer show up in Spare Parts under "Partial wake usage"? It seems to be keeping the Nexus awake. This has only happened since flashing the latest nightly of CM7 and Matr1x 5.5 kernel.
I might just wipe and reflash, but I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this.
Its normal. Aosp thing I'm thinking...

It only started showing up with the latest flashes, though. For the past month of using CM7 and various kernels, I would never have the problem with the dialer.
I'm on the same settings with no dialer issue...
Its the proximity sensor in call and it's normal, I'm telling ya. There's a whole thread in the evolution section about it
*can you post a screen shot?

So far, after wiping cache and Dalvik and reflashing the Matr1x 5.5 CFS, it seems to be behaving.
Perhaps something just went bad in the original flash.
Make a few phone calls and see if it changes

[Q] Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik & Bionic libraries for DROID??

Would anyone know if this patch could be applied to our devices? The optimized Dalvik libs were ripped from the MotoX and given our hardware similiarities, I'm curious is this would improve performance for the DROID line as well.

He says this in the Q and A:
Q: Can I use it on other devices?
A: Yes, you can use this patch on every Krait device that uses AOSP-based ROM (examples: Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013). Don't flash it on stock ROM on non-Nexus devices, as they already include these optimizations (that includes Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play editions!).
So I am going to say no I wouldn't try it.

Read through the post twice and don't know how I missed that. Thanks, you probably just saved me some trouble.
i'd say as our device is already a moto x from inside, is already optimized.

MOTO G, custom ROM = Yes or No?

I have been using Custom Rom's for a while. But this is usually to bring a phone up to the latest possible Android version well after the manufacturer has stopped updating a device . I have been using Nexus devices so typically this is 18 months after a model is first introduced. Bit of a sore point with me coming from iPhones which get supported for much longer period. but I digress.
In the case of the Moto G. I question whether it is beneficial ATM to install a custom ROM? I have tried a couple, but have been quite disappointed up till now with reliability and performance.
So for now I have stayed with the standard Moto G Rom. Then tweaked it a little by doing the following.
1. Unlocked the phone
2. Rooted using TWRP (couldn't get CWM to work right)
3. Eliminated the Unlocked warning screen at start up :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548530
4. Changed the 3G data to H, H+ format :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600654
5. Installed Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvic from here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120 (thanks @drfr )
6. Installed a new Faux123 Kernel, flcon_umts-faux123-kk-005u-signed.zip from here :- http://faux.romhost.me/falcon_umts/kk44/
7. From Play store installed the xposed installer
8. From Play Store added module Gravity box (KK)
9. From Play Store added module Ringer & Notification Volume
10. Installed the Apex launcher
11. From Play Store purchased Faux123 Kernel Enhancement Pro (couldn't find a free tool that worked!)
Result is a very stable ROM together with most of the little tweaks that I like to get from a Custom ROM. Plus everything works great. The current Antutu result is 19860.
So my general question, what is the advantage of using a Custom Rom, when for at the moment at least, the manufacturers ROM is fully up to date and with a few simple tweaks provides Custom Rom like appearance, together with great stability and performance?
As far as I know, the stock rom has a lot of optimizations for the Moto G hardware. For instance, its based on F2FS which is something the GPE Moto G does not have going for it.

That´s exactly the way I see things too. Played around with custom ROMs for a while and then came back to stock + all the enhancements you mentioned. Just a note to the point 5 of your list. Optimized dalvik and bionic are already included in stock ROMs.
I have this way of thinking too. So just going through the steps 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 10. My phone is excellent.

Thank you, I didn't know that, funny but I could swear that Antutu improved! I am still trying to decide if Point 6. Faux123 is really worth it. The 1.6gh/z over clocking is working and I am still getting two days of average use per charge. Can't decide either way really......
Same here, at this point, custom roms (non stock based) are non sense, since the stock is almost Aosp and updated as hell. Xposed is all you need.

All you need is Xposed, Faux kernel and the optimized Dalvik :S

Correct me if I am wrong but the stock roms from moto are equipped with the Qualcomm-optimized bionic and dalvik patches, aren't they?
If not where can I find this patches?

Great antutu result. Mostly due to the overclock. CM based roms doesnt have working overclock yet.
Im far away from that 19860 antutu score, any tips? I installed faux kernel and optimizers from qualcomm and cant get even close to 18000.

True. But its for now and that is because this is a brand new phone also with multiple variants like 1031/2/3
Hence creating a kind of obstruction for a successful ROM dev
Furthermore you don't just dev a ROM to get an Android update.
Its for the different features that people are looking for.
You might wanna try xposed modules.
Hell l0tta options there. Not for now but then for future.
Also then small little tweaks from other phones can be ported to this one.
There are just countless things that you can customize once you are rooted.
I had a Galaxy Ace duos CDMA which had no custom ROM.
But once I got it rooted my phone was so much better.
I had an extended internal memory with my SD card.
The bloatware that covered the small little internal memory was completely removed.
And it was so much faster and Functional with those rooted apps.
If that small little phone could do some magic with rooting.
Then this is a beast.
Half the new functionality that we get on the updates are actually the features of apps that work on rooted phones.
Wifi hotspot for an instance.
Agreed that in the current scenario its really not so useful but rooting your phone is a gift to yourself

How you guys were able to use Faux with Dalvik? Faux only works on my phone with ART. If i try Dalvik, com.android.phone force closes all the time. I also have tried the new dalvik, no luck either.
And that prevents me to use XPosed, cause it doesn't have an ART version. And i really miss GravityBox...
Can someone explain me how to do it?

You do have all those files, they are not in the same folder. Just search harder.

[Q] Play Services wants me to update to 4.4.3 but i have a Custom Rom

Hi guys i need your knowledge. So i have a rooted Google Nexus 5 with Cataclysm 4.4.2 in it and atl4ntis haven't updated it ever since December of 2013. And then one day i got a notification from Play Services and it wants me update to 4.4.3 but then i have a custom rom so i was wondering what would happen if i install the update, would it make my phone go back to Stock Android or would it make the rom Cataclysm 4.4.3 or something like that.

It'll fail to install.
Backup data with Titanium Backup then wipe and flash another ROM that has been updated.
Cataclysm will never get an update

I did changed to CM 11 M8 just hours ago. It runs ok on dalvik but when i change it too ART it always goes "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" literally every 1second another one comes out. I dont like dalvik because its slow unlike ART. I always want to use ART and not dalvik. Now i returned to Cataclysm. Do you guys know what could be the reason why atl4tis is no updating his awesome rom? If he really retired on updating it i hope someone will continue his good work.
His work is closed sourced. No one can start where he left off without his permission. Check out purity and never look back.
