[Q] ART Wont Activate - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have recently rooted my nexus 5 using cf auto root and have installled a custom recovery and I am trying to change my runtime from dalvik to ART but everytime I change my phone reboots but it still says my runtime is Dalvik, none of my apps are optimsed etc, any ideas on what to do ?

Hi,
I guess you are using Xposed stuff... if yes it's normal, for now Xposed framework is not compatible with ART runtime so to avoid bootloop it goes back to Dalvik runtime automatically.

Yep, some reading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50163642&postcount=478 from the Xposed thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401...
So ART runtime or Xposed, you will need to make a choice...

Can't switch to ART

For some reason I can't switch to ART. When I select that in developers options, it prompts to reboot but afterwards when I check it is still on dalivk. Any idea? Running purity rom with Franco kernel.
Check the purity rom and franko kernel to see if it supports art
Do you haze xposed installed

Franco works fine. You'll have xposed installed so it'll just reboot back to Dvalik

Oh so do I have to uninstall xposed to switch to ART?

Yes.
I had this issue this afternoon. Couldn't figure out why ART wouldn't activate until I searched.
Uninstall xposed, select ART, then reboot, and then when all of the apps have been refreshed upon boot up, reinstall Xposed.

Oh wait, now that you mentioned it...
I just checked again. Didn't notice that it switched back to Dalvik.
Xposed will probably never work with ART

A handy hint I have just discovered... Uninstall Xposed from within the framework first, THEN remove it from your phone... Apparently Xposed leaves "things" behind :/

Hi,
Yes you need to uninstall from Xposed framework to restore the original "app_process" file and reboot..., then nothing is left on your phone.

[Q] Anyone else experience this?

I have been rebooting my Nexus 5 when using Xposed Framework modules and for every perfect reboot I get a bootloop. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's frustrating that my Stock Rooted with Xposed Framework setup would cause bootloops and every time a bootloop occurs it eats up a lot of battery and makes the phone uncomfortably warm.
do you have art selected?
I have the same setup as you.....xposed never sent my device into boot loop. As the poster above me stated, are you using art or dalvik? I believe xposed does not work with art. Also, could using a module within xposed that is not developed for 4.4+ cause such misbehavior?

I have had this problem.. I don't know how to fix it.. I just restore a backup and try it again.. Sometimes it works and sometimes it don't

I use Xposed on all my devices, I've never had so much as a stutter from it, let alone a bootloop. You've got something else going on. As others pointed out, if you are using ART runtime, Xposed isn't compatible.

Yeah it's not that, I don't have ART enabled and on top of that enabling ART while Xposed is installed automatically sends you back into the OS and cancels the request for ART as a part of Xposed Framework, so I couldn't have enabled it anyway.

I wasn't inferring that ART was the only possible cause, just the most common. What modules are you trying to use?

GravityBox and Greenify. Nothing that should be causing this.

If you disable both mods do you still get boot loops? And are you using the version of GB that's meant for kitkat?

Still getting boot loops with both mods disabled, even went as far as to uninstall Xposed Framework to see if it would happen. I rebooted 10 times and it boot looped 3 times out of those 10.
Yes, using GravityBox for KitKat.

[Help] Unable to switch from Dalvik runtime to ART

Hi everyone,
I got an issue with my Moto G. I was using ART runtime ever since I bought my Flacon and today by mistake I put off Developer Options. I turned on Dev Ops and the runtime was shown as Dalvik. After that I just cant change the runtime to ART. I get the reboot to change runtime from libvm.so to libart.so? popup but nothing happens after rebooting. Tried it about 10 times now.
Thank you!
EDIT: I should have googled first. As it turns out, I've got Xposed Framwork installed, hence, ART won't get enabled.
Sorry for the post.
Cheers!!
If you're using Xposed, it won't change.

[Q] Not able to switch to ART, Stock + Rooted + Code Blue Kernel

I am using Nexus 5 with stock rooted ROM and with Code Blue Kernel. I want to switch to ART. I go to developer option and select Use ART.
My phone reboots and it is still in dalvik. Is there anything special I need to do here?
What is the requirement to go in ART?

Not using xposed and having free space (about 2gb) in storage
Sounds like xposed installed

Thanks. Yes I have Xposed installed. Is it possible to uninstall Xposed, then switch to ART and then install Xposed Again. Will this work in that case or I will not be able to install xposed after that.

xposed does not work with ART in any way at this time.
so if you want ART, you cannot use xposed. period.
Xposed dev has said that he won't officially support ART until it gets released in its final form.

Your answer is in that last line - xposed cannot run with ART and will change the setting back to Dalvik if you try to change to ART.
