So I've been reading through, some say it's fast, some say it's buggy, some apps won't work etc...
For those who have changed over... What are your opinions? Should I?
Thanks

ART is still work in progress atm by Google and a lot of apps are not yet optimized for ART. So for testing and trying its good but as in daily usage i would stick with Dalvik for now.

I have had no problems with ART runtime. One game I like wasn't compatible. I would suggest try it out.

Is it noticeably faster? Smoother? Better battery etc to be worth even trying?

I have found ART to be noticeably faster in app scrolling and overall load times. Poorly coded apps that have known to lag since the beginning of time now are smooth as butter. When I switched back from ART to dalvik I became somewhat disappointed because I got used to the phenomenal speed of the N5 on ART. The device still fly's on dalvik but is faster on ART, no question. Stability has been fantastic as well.

I switched to ART a few days ago and its been blazing fast and no problems. I've had 1 game that doesn't work but its not a big deal. Its stable and I'm gonna use it everyday

There is a thread that is starting to list apps that don't like art. I'm a hardcore tib user and art breaks tib, so I stay away. Performance is better, here and there, but I find using the right kernel and rom will match art smoothness.
My combo right now is psx and Franco. Very nice.
I switched to ART and the back key wouldn't work and nor would SwiftKey keyboard, so that's me back on dvalik lol

So you did have a problem. Don't say you had no problems when you did. It is like saying all is perfect BUT....
The pros outweigh the cons.

I've been on ART for a little over a week without any issue. Like other have said, the scrolling is a huge improvement. App load times are faster too.

Likewise. Running for a week now,had to find an ART optimised version of whatsapp,aside from that I've had no problems. Phone is quicker,especially scrolling, and especially xda premium app! Having said that, I run my phone with very few apps on it,so I'm less likely to meet bugs than average I guess.

Does SwiftKey keyboard work for you? Also do you have a link for the WhatsApp?

What specifically did you have issues with on SwiftKey?
I'm on ART and the only problem I've run into is the same as on Dalvik, which is pressing space does not automatically insert the highlighted word without first typing a letter.

The app vanished from being installed and then wouldn't install afterwards.
Also my back key wouldn't work

My swiftkey does not work as well. It simply does not open a keyboard at all, no FC, no popup... nothing.
At work 400 people have a S2 Plus. After the update, many problems have arrived:
- APN settings are lost, set to basic. This could be a problem for busines phones.
- [email protected] crashes..... no worries, just an App..
- Google+ crashes... Hmm, sleightly worrying
- S Planner is messed up. Options are unreachable, Letters are massive and i'm unable to change to week view.. it's locked on month (as soon as i have pictures i'll show
- Email letters are massive... changable for email itself but buttons stay big
As soon as i find more, I'll share
Anyone else have these problems?
No I don't have these problems...May be you can reflash the Rom?
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
We have about 400 S2 Plus phones here, it would not be wise to reflash all those ROM's.. about 50 of those phones have troubles.
Have you guys tried wiping data... like factory reset the whole phone
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
update to 4.2.2 without wiping will have crashes in some of the apps. it will happen to other phone too(my good old ace),it's wise to have it backup then update n wipe.
I am not having such problems too.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using Tapatalk
We just let people update, so indeed we updated without factory wipe.
I'll test it on one of the devices'.
Would another option be re-installing the apps? if i could get my hands on the apk of s-planner for instance..
at leat try to clean cash it may help ..
Try factory reset first.
Installing system apps as custom app isn't really that ideal to me

Any of you have problem with phone freezing? Not in use, when it is on standby. It work only when it is rebooted (holding power button for 5 seconds) or when battery is pulled out and powered on again.
Friend of mine has this problem since he upgraded to 4.2.2. First it was often, he used Powersave option. After he turned Powersave off, phone worked normal for some day (about 10). And now the problem occurred again, without Powersave on.

Sometimes it's not related to power save. It might just be a system bug:

Hi everyone,
I wanted to test the ART motor, so I put the option to ART but once reboot the option is back on Dalvik.
Anyone got a solution ?

Art = No Good yet
EVERYBODY is having problems with Art (Unless you're stock everything and Use only apps that are compatible with Art) Plus can't notice the speed improvements. Nexus 5 with Snap 800 is fast enough Art is meant for devices with lower specs.. i.e. Galaxy Nexus Use Delvik for now, Art is not worth the unstability. Plus, it's technically in beta

Nonsense!
ART is not unstable. Just incompatible with some mods and apps.
It's noticeably faster than Dalvik.

Going through some threads it seems most dont experience any lag so im wondering what the problem could be in my case i sometimes notice slight lags when opening/closing app drawer, switching to quick settings, opening/closing apps (turned off animations so not really a problem now) and a few other instances is this normal? it got quite bad so i unrooted it and locked bootloader then unlocked and re-rooted and at the moment i am on stock rom, stock launcher and faux123 stable mainline 11 kernel
Glad I'm not the only one. Do the apps include any of the following: Timely, YouTube?

yes youtube does lag a little infact quite a few apps do although i just assumed this was more to do with the apps than the phone itself?

hopefully it is something that an android update will fix soon as its not just apps for me its everywhere but not all the time, i was wondering if its the custom kernel im using? Hopefully it isn't as i cant change the gamma values in stock kernel so that is the main reason for me flashing a custom one

Doubt it's your kernel. I'm running stock and suffering as well :/ It could also be a defect, some run fine others don't. Same with the same speaker issue, some newer owners especially the red ones claim it sounds better as the old ones.

Try switching to ART runtime, it seems to be much smoother. Im using Franco's kernel with a lot of downgrading in setup and yet I don't experience lags.
I did think about switching to ART but to be honest i dont want to lose anything in terms of stability but hopefully soon it will become part of an update so if lag is normal on dalvik now i dont mind waiting i just wanted to see if its normal or im doing something wrong

I'm sure that the problem could be around some settings with faux kernel. I use it too but recommended settings foe nexus 5 seem to cause some lag for everyone as it's more for saving battery life...
You might nee to play with some settings there Like governor and Hotplug.

I have already turned off animations for transition animation scales but when i turned off the rest it looked weird so turned them back on, i didn't understand 'Sorry cut the last 2out the 3 to 0ff and speed first'
Another thing i forgot to mention is when i unrooted/went back to stock i let the apps auto update and straight after i noticed there was lag when opening app drawer so i uninstalled all the updates and it fixed itself has anyone else had this happen? I have had to set the apps to never auto update now

Installing updates from Play doesn`t make the phone laggy unless there is a problem with an app or some apps. Rebooting after installing updates clears most problems most of the time.

Install BetterBatteryStatts for unusual app behaviour which is most likely the reason of your phone lagging.
I downloaded betterbatterystats but it isn't showing me anything regarding apps only the device wake/sleep stats etc

I have recently beginning to have a screen bouncing issue. Seems to be getting worse. Started about 5 days ago.
Tried factory reset, safe mode and tried android M but still the same.
What is causing this maybe? Don't want to get a new phone as still loving this. Longest phone I've ever had.
Here's a video of what I mean https://youtu.be/qtsouaLdqgc
